* The [[TCS Tiger's Claw]] launches a combined strike against the [[KIS Rathtak]]. One [[Scimitar]] strike wing is assigned to wingleader Captain [[R.A. Skinner]] and wingman Lieutenant [[Larry Dibbles]]. The wing left the carrier at 2300 hours. Twenty minutes later they encountered two crippled [[Jalthi]]. One thrusted away intermittently as though it had suffered engine damage while the other spun powerlessly. Dibbles broke formation to attack the active Jalthi. At 2321 hours, Skinner ordered him back into formation. This was the final transmission made by either Scimiar: neither Jalthi was damaged. The disabled ship powered up and destroyed Skinner's fighter, then joined the other to shoot down Dibbles. Both Skinner and Dibbles were killed. The incident became the impetus for [[Taggart's Tactics]]. A recovery team later located Skinner's flight recorder. Other portions of the strike damaged but did not destroy the Rathtak.
