You get full endurance cycles?	I must be doing something wrong. 
Usually
I give up 2 CEF acquiring the target and then lose significant numbers
to PDS and interceptor fire.

My guess would be the damage would be (0.8 * 4) + (0.8 * 2) for total
damage done.  A pure torp force would of course do (2.5 * 4).

That of course assumes I have a slightly stronger force than my opponent
has defenses.  If he has more defenses run those numbers way down.
