It's actually CL Phoenix and the closest port (size 4) is Midway, 9 hexes away. I'd rather save the ship regardless, but at flt damage 55 even if I sail at mission or cruise speed will the flt damage hit critical levels before reaching safety at Midway? I have 3 ARs sailing to Midway.

You have to save the Phoenix. She will survive the war, be sold to Argentina, and meet a British Nuke Sub northwest of the Falklands. Don't mess with destiny!

Good news! Phoenix reached port and flt damage is now rapidly dropping. (she started with sys damage in the high 30s). Cruise speed all the way.
 
So I saved this ship only to learn what'll happen to her some 40 years hence lol [:D]
