7月17日,英国装甲CV群从马德拉斯沿着印度东岸抵达钻石港外海40海里预定阵位,加尔各答和钻石港的上百架战斗机直掩CV群,航母舰载战斗机0CAP全直掩,舰载鱼雷机全反潜。完美上演了一次钓鱼执法,重创联合舰队的KB分队,当天上午下午的两场空战火鸡宴使其完全丧失了进攻能力。4 L2 ^" K% R) i% f3 |8 `1 h) J T

7月18日,火鸡日的第2天,英国CV群向南追击,试图空袭KB分队以及其余众多的水面船队。但是KB分队跑得比兔子还快,见势不妙早已逃得无影无踪。英国CV仅空袭了驻岛舰队和运输船队,可惜驻岛皮太厚,运输船队陆基直掩太凶残。全天追击毫无建树。* X6 P9 n2 d ?1 ~3 O$ ~6 D% j
