Okay, with the fleet provided, i can tell you right-now that your loss either was due to terrible rolls, or a lack of skill. A-boats should have gutted his escort ranks by at least 8 a turn(on the conservative side), and the lace fire from your styx and devs should have added at least two more kills each. Iconoclasts should have been used to force braces or (if your lucky) pop an escort as well.
At most, he could have punked a cruiser or your escort squadron with the AAF cheese in the first round, then suffered A-boat hell the moment you showed up.
