Meanwhile, the UNSC ships split into echelons, where one group of ships attacked the carriers and a second covered the cruisers. The combined firepower of Fleet Admiral Harper's fleet ensured the rapid destruction of many of Regret's ships, in spite of the numerous losses the human fleet was sustaining. The fleet's second carrier ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'', staying above orbit, disabled at least [[UNSC Feeling Lucky|one]] ''Marathon''-class cruiser with an [[energy projector]]. At some point during the battle its shields were destroyed by the Home Fleet's concentrated assault, allowing a pair of [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword fighters]] to punch a hole into the carrier's hull, thus exposing the hollow center housing the ship's [[Pinch fusion reactor|reactor core]]. [[John-117]] managed to disable the Covenant bomb meant for the [[Cairo Station (station)|''Cairo'']] and threw himself and the device into vacuum, activating it next to the core and propelling himself to safety, thus destroying the carrier.{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}} | Meanwhile, the UNSC ships split into echelons, where one group of ships attacked the carriers and a second covered the cruisers.
