	After the corvettes are dealt with, the frigates notice that the ''Carthage'' is still holding her screen close.

As such, the ''Indus'' signals the ''Katana'' and ''Altan Orde'' that it's to be Contingency JACKKNIFE. They acknowledge, and will be on station in two minutes.

	Meanwhile, the ''Carthage'' decides to flush her fighter bay. The remainder of the ''Carthage'' air group, some 30-odd fighters, comes out in an effort to swarm the gunships. Heed Sorenson's advice; stick close to the frigates and snipe them with Slammers. This is the furriest furball in the campaign right here, so avoid target fixation.

(If you armed Beta 1 and 2 with Paveway Missiles and you need to buy time for the next phase, send them to take out the forward beams of either the ''Deianira'' or the ''Iolanthe'' as soon as the second screen arrives. They have plot immunity, so don't worry about them drawing attention.)

	Two minutes later, the ''Katana'', ''Altan Orde'', the [[UEA Oculus\|AWACS ship]] ''Hanuman'', and the cruiser ''Kyoto'' arrive and start going to work, attacking the second pair of corvettes, the ''Iolanthe'' and ''Deianira''. Most of the enemy fighters should be mopped up by now. Which is good, because not long after, the ''Hanuman'' lets you know that the corvettes are preparing to fire [[BFGreen\|overdriven beam cannons]]. You then have 80 seconds to disable the beam cannons, port and starboard, bow and stern, on both corvettes. Here's where the Paveways come in handy; use them with your Archers and/or [[Gattler]]s to nail the beam cannons before they fire. As you disable the beams, the corvettes roll to bring undamaged cannons to bear. Once they're disabled, you'll get a notification, and combat with them proceeds much like the last pair.
