So take it like this: If a group of fighter jocks called on a battleship from it's post to eliminate a small unlawful light fighter attack, do you think the Rheinland Military leadership would be pleased? Heads would roll without a shadow of a doubt, and some fighter squadron commander would find himself demoted.
Battleships are NOT meant to be used against anything short of a major threat, and 2 LFs are far from major threat, no doubt a wing of Military VHFs can dispatch those easily. Right?
