Two four-ship destroyer divisions show how a flotilla can approach from separate directions. Each group threatens gunfire and torpedoes while forcing the opponent to divide attention between bearings. The action is expected to collapse into aggressive close-range attacks instead of remaining a tidy parallel engagement. The simulated formation gives a compact example of crossfire, mutual pressure, and the tactical flexibility created by division-level manoeuvre.
