I have a trivia challenge...
I was reviewing the first few SDF Macross episodes to figure out exactly how and when the ARMD-1 and 2 were destroyed and I discovered that the ARMD-2 was beaten to a pulp but never actually declared destroyed. ARMD-2 was damaged in the first wave before the SDF-1 takes off and just before docking with the SDF-1, Britai orders a barrage that takes out 3 ships, ARMD-1 and two Oberth class ships (Miranda and Akishima as I recall). Every source claims the ARMD-2 was destroyed but is it a solid fact stated in the story dialogue or animation or other source considered canon?
Anyone?
