Destroying the Imperial Fleet was part one of the primary goals of the Allied Command at the outset of the Milne Bay operation. They were spotted quickly and before landing too many armored divisions, were sent to the bottom. The main pilots involved in their destruction shall be honored by Allied Command with the Anti-Shipping Service ribbon. They are:

Additionally, the destruction of the two Japanese battleships and their accompanying escorts was also vital in ensuring an Allied victory in the Tetsu No Ame event. Though many pilots attacked the Japanese fleet, these pilots were recorded as delivering the final blows to the ships themselves. StonedBaron, Mrig, AH_Wildcard, AH_Ranger_, AH_Gibber, LTD_BERN1_ and LTD_Mitchell_JXO are thus eligible to wear the Anti-Shipping ribbon.

Several Allied pilots also managed to find and sink multiple enemy ships during the Tango In Tunisia event. For doing so they should be proud in receiving the Anti Shipping Service ribbon.

Tasked with finding and destroying enemy shipping during the Guadalcanal Landings battle, the AH squad managed to send 10 enemy vessels to the bottom. Members finding their targets were AH_Fast_Eddy_CO (3), AH_Nightrider (2), AH_GRIM_BXO (2), AH_Phantom (2) and AH_Ojibwa_Loon (1). For their actions and success in their assignments ATAC is pleased to bestow upon them the Anti-Shipping Service ribbon.

Das_Borb_JG26 helped develop anti-shipping tactics used by the JP forces in successfully sinking ships of the allied invasion fleet during the Guadalcanal Landings battle. He also sank several Allied ships as well, himself. For this he is awarded the Anti-Shipping Service ribbon.

During the Battle of the Marianas, Allied Forces sent 144 Japanese Aircraft carriers to the bottom, a remarkable achievement. Three pilots in particular, Lando_Sackett, DW_Blazeoglory, and AH_SkyJackeL_XO, are credited with EIGHT carriers each. Several pilots of the Allied Air Force downed at least four carriers each, and have thus been decorated. We are honored to award these Men, the Anti-Shipping Service ribbon for their efforts.
