In the event of engagements at night, although the fleet still preferred to avoid night fighting, a destroyer and cruiser squadron would be specifically detailed to seek out the enemy and launch destroyer attacks.
No caso de enfrontamentos nocturnos, aínda que a frota principal prefería evitar o combate de noite, especificábase que un escuadrón de destrutores e cruceiros buscaría ao inimigo e lanzaría ataques.
