Virtually all the men on the carriers were looking all around, and when the missiles were seen, they immediately shot them into pieces, making a giant explosion in the air.
As there were five missiles, they could be seen coming from the east only a few miles away, but barely visible. Assuming they had limited missiles and were running out, the carriers were ordered to advance in a v-formation right as reinforcements (20 CB-90-Class Fast Assault Crafts).
The radar, picking up reinforcements now approaching, were now pleased. With the long-range missiles now pointed toward the direction of the enemy crafts, seeing their formation and grouping, waited for their approach now. Then, with a total of ten launchers exactly, they fired down toward the enemy V-formation, concentrating on the middle and out for more effectiveness in how many vessels were destroyed and, as a result, destroying the formation and splitting it apart. For the safety of the Type 45, the two others in the back now advanced now, making a stance against the enemy forces, showing them, as a result, that the force was larger in numbers than what the enemy suspected.
The two other Type 45's now, using their guided missiles, each fired six together toward the enemy carriers that decided to continue a stance against them, the missiles being guided into Straight-Line-Arrow formations of 3 each, three heading toward each carrier in an attempt to rip them right apart with the sheer force of their explosions which, with their numbers, was more than possible. These missiles, furthermore, were better controlled due to the closer distance to the enemy forces as well as how desperate their attack was, causing the people in the operation control room of the Type 45's to concentrate their movements and focus on the attacks.
The enemy Type 45s, as now they were visible, only destroyed 4 of the CB-90s, though destroying the formation. Seeing the new missiles, the carriers shot at them for the second time, and succeeded in destroying them, once again. The much smaller CB-90s were much more mobile, and could easily avoid any missile.
With no hitch, the Nimitz carriers fired 20 missiles, 4 each from the front three, and 8 from the carrier in the flank while the CB-90s continued to advance. There was no way the enemies could defend this attack, not even with eight Type 45s, nine even.
Immediately after they were fired, the carriers regrouped along with the CB-90s. This time, however, it was a sort of loose armada formation, to minimize losses. The 20 missiles were nearing the Type 45s and were now but 500 meters away. There was no way, they could escape, not with the Type-45's lack of non-missile defense.
