OOC: Zumwalt and kitty, you guys are now separate formations.

IC: The 500 ship NAR fleet approaches its target, the southern wing of the US fleet. The ships prepare to launch their missiles in two waves.

The first wave launched is composed of metal fragment filled "beehive" missiles, which are designed to airburst above the enemy fleet, and rain down millions of white hot metal fragments, temporarily downing radar, confusing thermal devices, and melting through any plane unfortunate enough to be near.

The second wave is composed of anti ship missiles, with the goal of hitting right after the US radar and anti missile systems are down.

The first wave airbursts high over the US fleet, disabling the radar for about 10 minutes. The second wave, only 30 seconds later impacts the fleet, ripping apart light vessels, and causing significant damage to heavier ones. Then, all aircraft are ordered to launch.

Over 1,000 aircraft are launched from the surface fleet, and the aerospace fleet offers up 1,000 more. The aircraft screech in, with bombers retaining high altitude, ready to bomb down, and fighters stay below, warding off fighter and AA attacks. Directly above the fleet, the planes all dive down in a single wave, with over 4,000 bombs and missiles hitting ships and the sea. The bombers all pull up, and fly as fast as possible back to their carriers, ready to rearm for wave two. Some fighters go back to provide escort and AA screening, but most stay back in a gambit to get air superiority.

US radar is just coming back on line as the NAR fleet enters range of its main guns, and a barrage of over 1,000 46cm, 5,000 40cm, and tens of thousands of DP guns rains down on the US fleet...

OOC: Guy, damage reports are yours.

Also, CONTINUE THE REGULAR SHIP SURFACE BATTLE HERE.

Currently there are three, the regular ships, super ships, and the really freaking huge regular ships (Lord Pemberton-class, Colorado-class, etc.)
