A Japanese cruiser and several destroyers closed to within 2,000yd (1,800m), giving the two forward gun crews, under Gun Captain Chester Fay, a large, close target. For about ten minutes, they traded salvos with the Tone-class cruiser. When the destroyers slowed and approached to about 1,000yd (910m), they were also fired upon. The Japanese fire only stopped at 08:55 when Hoel rolled over and sank in 8,000yd (7.3km) of water, after enduring 90 minutes of punishment.

Admiral Kuznetsov has been observed sailing together with a Kirov-class battlecruiser (CBGN), Slava-class cruiser (CG), Sovremenny-class destroyer (ASuW), Udaloy-class destroyer (ASW) and Krivak I/II FFG (ASW). These escorts, especially the heavily armed Kirov-class battlecruiser, use advanced sensors and carry a variety of weaponry. During Admiral Kuznetsov 's deployment to Syria in November 2016 on her first combat tour, the carrier was escorted by a pair of Udaloy-class destroyers and a Kirov-class battlecruiser en route, while additional Russian Navy warships met her off Syria.During the period when the American navy recommissioned all four of its Iowa-class battleships, it sometimes used a similar formation centered on a battleship, referred to as a battleship battle group. It was alternately referred to as a surface action group. Coleman, Kent S., LCDR, USN (16 June 2006). Halsey at Leyte Gulf: Command Decision and Disunity of Effort (PDF) ( M.M.A.S. thesis).
