If we assume enemy carrier shelling damage operates in the same fashion as our carrier shelling damage, all it takes is 1 plane left alive in a slot to maintain full shelling strength. Shooting down 90% of the enemy aircraft will reduce their opening airstrike damage as that's effected by number of planes.
