Mein Herr,
I started my first patrol by undocking from Planet Hamburg, where I noticed a large Liberty fleet gathering in Texas, naturally, I went to investigate. When arriving in Texas, I was contaced by a Mercenary, callsign TheBomber. Who provided me intelligence which I relayed back to Military Command on Hamburg.
The Fleet started to move through Hudson and gathered at the Westfalen. Elements of the Rheinwehr and Bundespolizie marshalled at Hamburg, by the time our forces where fully gathered, it consisted of 3 Battleships, 5 Cruisers, 2 fighters and 3 bombers. The Mercenary, TheBomber also helped us.
The Fleet moved out in a line formation and made contact with the enemy roughly half way down the trade lane to the Westfalen, the Liberty Navy, charged us directly rather than using tactics. Our superior firepower and training annilihated them. The first to go down was the LNS Bald.Eagle, a carrier that foolishly charged and was destroyed within minutes of contact. The LNS Mortis was then destroyed, followed by the LNS Admonitor and LNS Resurrection. We lost the Battleship Koloss.Cpt.Klaus, our first and only major casualty.
The RNC Zurich then put the LNS Sharatan out of action, the RNC Defiance doing the same to the LNS Resolution. Next to fall was the LNS Caturix, I myself was pursuing a fighter, LNS Muzdy, who charged a friendly cuiser and paid for it. The LNS Dwight.D.Eisenhower was the next to succumb. Followed by the LNS D'ark, LNS Portland and the LNS Interceptor.
At the end of the battle, the RNC Zurich fired a missile which destroyed the LNS Interceptor, but unfortunately caught some of our forces in the blast radius. All escape pods were safely tractored in and returned to Hamburg. No doubt after the severe mauling the Liberty schwein recieved today they won't be back in Hamburg anytime soon.
