T2: This ship is used when you want to save some fighters for the next battle when you are facing 2 or more fleets.
By stopping the C1 battle before all your ships get a chance to fight, you end up having some left over for the next battle.
Also helps preserve your evaps from getting destroyed by other c1 ships and allows them to fight against the higher classes if they get modified by a c2 or c3 ship like the cyclops

I have to spam the same again but, 2x next time. The retreats held his losses down and the c1 blockage remains.
BTW-you can use multiple retreat units and have your c1 survive about 3 penguin spams.
This makes for excellent base fleet defense only a swank can get those retreats out and put in some evaps too and that attempt will be very costly for the attacker.
