Skirmish Question...

Ahoy......
May i ask if anyone knows or could tell me this : If a player attacks a fleet with 18 danger via skirmish
( Not released yet ) : It would be a waste of a skirmish point but , would the 18 danger from the fleet get removed? Or would it actually allow 2 hits on the fleet?
