Default Island Carriers

While the US Marine Division were based here in NZ prior to the big push up into the Islands they traded there scout cars with the NZ forces for locally produced LP2's, which they used for training etc. Apparently some of these were taken to the Solomon islands but didn't work out to well with the terrain. NZ LP2 carriers also were sent to Tonga and Fiji so maybe this one might from that lot. Thats not to count out the Aussie Carriers which were sent up into the Islands as well.
