A question for the better memories: does it say anywhere that Sauron actually tried his hardest to win that battle with Pharazon? Did he even expect to defeat Numenor on the battlefield? Or was his plan to get behind the scenes all along, if not in the guise of friend then in the guise of prisoner? I do recall that he was secretly very happy that Pharazon took him to Numenor.
