Fire, if you believe the PE has the same range as a Guam you're sorely mistaken. The PE is short about 2 inches on max zoom. A lot of distance when both ships are part of a fighting line, so the PE can't zip the extra 2 inches and start shooting the Guam 'cause if he does then the rest of the line will fire on it.
Nasty business. Particuarly when their guns do quite a bit more than ours (550 vs 1200). You have to be landing almost 3:1 shells to make up the difference. Luckly the Guam is HUGE, then again, if the Guam has decent gunners then the PE will be out of action before it can do too much harm. No more than a good pair of restores and repairers can't fix in a couple min.
