15. Planes on both sides must land on their carriers. The US plane lost its carrier, and so must ditch at sea (destroyed). Both sides may reshuffle the composition of their groups.

The Allies, however, choose to retreat, The Allied ships return to port and the Japanese fleet continues on its original mission.
