Starving the japanese out of oil

[Timothy]

I found in the few games that I have played so far, that unfortunately the ai would often send carriers out alone without any other supporting ships. Needless to say, that these ai carriers would often get slaughtered since there were no other ships around to help either put up some AA defense or to absorb some of the bomb/torpedo damage. Sending out carriers without supporting ships is very unrealistic. I hope that a future patch will fix this.
