''Chargin' Bull Bruce was furious. His three Yellowstones had been completely surrounded, and were taking a beating. He orders all three ships to accelerate to ramming speed and engage one Federation supership each. Now, most modern superships had given up on such primitive tactics such as ramming in favor of more firepower, but not the Yellowstones. Underneath the narrow, flared bow of each ship lay a large solid titanium protrusion designed to slice deep into any ship that had the misfortune to be in its path. Each Yellowstone sets course towards a different Federation supership, each concentrating fire on their chosen targets. Once within a kilometer of their target, Bruce orders the two Yellowstones that hadn't expended their MCMs to launch a single concentrated missile barrage on their targeted ships, and to resume firing with doomsdays. The two Yellowstones with MCMs launch all their missiles at once, sending a cloud of missiles streaking at close range towards their targets. At such close range, it was impossible for CIWS to knock them all down, and over half slip through to impact the enemy vessels. Then come the impacts. Each Yellowstone, firing everything they have, smash deep into their chosen Federation counterparts, their titanium bow rams wreaking havoc on the Fed ships. The Yellowstones do not survive their rammings unscathed, however. Fire from the Federation ships has crippled the doomsdays of one Yellowstone, while another has lost a row of 2040s. The third has become wedged in its Federation target, and the crews of the entangled ships begin engaging in furious hand-to-hand combat.''

OOC: yes, the yellowstones have rams, I can provide dock pix if you wish for proof. Also, ur turn.
