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.
