I've done something similar. If you send a transport through the first channel to Lightb. with a 
destroyer escorting it, it'll generally get through more than 1/2 undamaged. If you send three 
destroyers through while it (the transport) comes back through it should also make it. Dock the 
near dead transport on back side of the island forming the second channel (towards the bottom of 
the map). Have another transport waiting with your battleships for protection. Have the 
battleships escort the second transport to the bottom. Takes about 5 minutes and I don't know if 
we actually killed anyone--kind of like the A-Team.
