"Melbourne": Yes, madam. Sidewinders armed.
Two McDonnell Douglas A-4G "Shyhawk" jet fighters blasted over the Sakura fleet, which in a stroke of coincidence, the shipgirls on the battleships and other Sakura ships present watched as the two futuristic fighters fired a small rocket from their wings.
