- The fight for the Midway is a very cool, very tough battle with up to 7 ships on your side, and 10 or more (depending on when you break up the Skates) enemy fighters.
- Note that your mission objective changes when yau're called back to the Midway.

Notes
- As revenge for not saving the ejected pilot in the previous mission, the game throws this mission at you. Don't waste your missiles at NAV 1, you'll need them when you get recalled to the Midway.
- As soon as you get back to the Midway, go straight for the bombers otherwise Midway is bound to take damage. You can mop up the fighters later. Use up your missiles, they'll help you take out the bombers a bit quicker.
- In case you've forgotten, the bombers here are the Red Mantas and the Skate Ts.
- There is a bug in this mission which means you can never achieve more than a 67% rating.
