Main Battle Corps, "Damen" Battleship.
Although the message from Lan Yun aboard the "Jingang" had been received at noon, it wasn't until the operation began, close to two o'clock, that many combat-related messages were finally confirmed after receiving the reports from the two destroyers left behind for cleanup.
The "Jiahe" and "Feilong" both sank in battle, and the ship-borne air force was completely annihilated.
From start to finish, the Liangxia Navy's ship-borne air force did not attack any battleships other than the carriers. The second attack aircraft group turned back home after an unsuccessful search to the east. According to the time it took for the plane group to fly over the destroyers twice, their turnaround point was about fifty kilometers west of the Main Battle Corps. This allowed for an estimate that the Liangxia Navy's Special Mixed Fleet was roughly three hundred kilometers west of the Mobile Fleet.
