 With both preliminary phases executed, the final Aerial Combat Stage, Airstrike, is performed. In this phase, each bomber from the Allied Fleet and Enemy Fleet that still possess a slot size higher than 0 selects a ship to attack. The attack target is randomly picked following the same rules as [[Shelling]] target selection. The targeted ship is '''not necessarily''' the ship that has defended against said bomber during Stage 2.
