First Turrets USS Monitor: No matter what I try with armor, I end up with multiple fires, yet rarely can set the enemy on fire. I can often have dealt twice as much damage, but then I catch fire and structural damage eventually does me in. Sometimes I've had the enemy nearly sunk - down to 20% - then they rapidly "unsink"
The mission takes a very long time (even with accelerated time), and having spent several hours on multiple attempts already, I think I'll just abandon it.
