The battle line advances abreast and slows once close enough to improve accuracy. Its broadside combines thirteen-and-a-half-inch, six-inch, and four-inch guns. As the target runs parallel to one group, other ships close from another direction and create a drawn-out pincer. Formation, speed control, arcs of fire, and positional pressure produce an advantage that a ship-stat screen alone cannot explain.
