We suggest the best course of action is to fire at random into their vicinity and listen for the impact of the shells... Our intelligence sources indicate the composition of the enemy fleet is the same as our own, shall be using similar tactics to ours. In accordance with the rules of war, fire will be exchanged one shell at a time and vessels lost will be announced immediately...

Information as to the remaining strength of the enemy will be relayed directly to your status bar at the bottom of the window...
