If its the CG and DDGs jamming those get taken out and the next wave of Dong Thongs kills the carrier.
Then we simply tow smaller deployable arrays behind the escorts on the outside of the formation! We could put one behind the carrier, too. Jeez, do I have to think of everything? Granted, we'd lose effective radiated power to some degree with that setup, and the smaller engines* on the escorts would cost us wattage, but it should still be enough to light up the Ding Dong's scope (which I presume would have a comparitively small power supply, being as how it's on a missile and all).

*I thought we had CGNs, at least. Did something happen to those?
