''The IRF ships notice the submarines. With most ships armed with ASW, the subs are taken care of, but some get away. With the Retaliation still intact, and with most of the fighters in the air from before, about 25% of the IRF's missiles suddenly are launched, aimed at the carrier group attempting to flank them. The missiles slam into the Venator-class carrier, and 50 CFA fighters move in to finish off any of the other flying ships with their missiles. MCMs are fired off into the AFOH surface fleet from the Revoltions, causing massive explosions, followed by a salvo of Doomsdays from the exterminations. The Defiance-class assault ship, led by the Bringer of Doom begin to move a bit forward and begin to bombard with their shells, sinking many more AFOH ships. Hundreds of fighters move to attack positions, ready to strike the Cobras. With the FAST group approaching, the escorting destroyers hold their formation and fire off a few salvos of VLS missiles from each ship. Some of them hit the ships, damaging some and sinking others, but out of the 20 ships, only 7 were sunk, but left 9 damaged, and 4 still intact. The main IRF fleet began to advance, and the Bringer of Doom fired off her payload of 14 MCMs right into the heart of the AFOH fleet.''

OOC: Many rebel ships contain ASW, if you look closely, so many of the submarines were most likely damaged. The sinking and damaging of the carriers basically mean that there is no place to land, so either suicidal runs or bailing out, but the fighters still have plenty of fuel to engage for a while.

The large ships, like defiance and retaltiation are heavily armored, and will take MANY torpedoes to sink if you are going to use that method.
