I try to hit the deck of the carrier with my AGMs.
It doesn't do a whole lot, considering no planes were landing on it or taking off anyway.
I blast away at the defense turret on the upper right hand of the carrier. (from the map perspective)
You take it out, along with some of the deck around it.
By this point, the carrier is beyond saving. The remaining Rafale and its squadmate's wreckage both slide off the deck and you can vaguely see the crew abandoning ship.

: I hope so, I am almost out of ammo and fuel. We should get back to base before our planes fall apart around our ears. [What are your orders, sir?]
