Still combat question

A1D1 vs A1D1 combat

Suppose that two ships both with attack of 1 and defence of 1 are fighting. According to the manual description of the combat, they can not do damage to each other, because they will always roll attack of 1 and defence of 1. Yet, I am sure in the game the combat will be finished. So, what is wrong with manual description? It could be one of the following
A) there is always damage at least 1, no matter what .
B) the defence roll starts from 0, not from 1. Then the question is about attack roll, does it start from 0 too?
