Sometimes this is done alone, which minimizes MVP-theft (a rare problem); however, more commonly two "trash" vessels (destroyers picked up from 1-1 while you are sparkling) are placed in the second and third slots to minimize the chances of enemy vessels scratching your flagship. They are not refueled, and are scrapped or used as modernization fodder once they can no longer be deployed. | **This entails running the ship you want sparkled in the flagship position.
