Anyone interested in playing a game of Fighting Flattops? It's surprisingly in-depth for a browser based simulation but it has been years since I've toyed with it, and even then it was just briefly. The little time I did spend in it was quite fun though.
Essentially, go hunting for the opponents fleet! Use land-based scout planes to establish long-range patrol patterns. Deploy submarine screens to pester any straggling ships or set them up as a stealthy picket line. Make sure you're not reloading your planes when the bad guys show up above your carriers.
The one game I played in this ended in disaster when the enemy carrier force came out of the one area I had thought them least likely to be...and so I'd sent my scarce recon resources elsewhere. If I remember correctly, 3 of my carriers were badly damaged and their aircrews virtually wiped out as the enemy planes found my own aircraft in the act of rearming.

Just send me a shout if you're interested!
