If a base has 6 damage on it, do you only need to repair 4 damage leaving 2 to make it operational? I believe 3 knocks out an air or naval base oob, but not sure if later rules change that.

yup repair 4, never a need to repair to full. i think this is a goofy rule. so bases that get attacked never get fully repaired for the rest of the game.
@rulebook:

Subject to Damage: A naval base is considered to be inoperative if it has 3 or more damage points. It can�t service sea
zones, increase sea unit range, or conduct repairs.

Yep, agreed, you should need to full repair or permit them to be destroyed if they obtain 30 damage (twice the cost of a new one)

no scramble.

Did you hit 8 times or 9 out of that force? looks like your subs hit 1 and you navy hit 8…OOL for 8 is 4 damaged carriers, damage battleship, 3 tactical bombers removed.

Well, how many times did I hit? What is left and how many times did you hit round 2?

Sorry, it is a big enough battle, that we’ll have to do this round by round I guess.
