*BlackWatch Patrol Report*

Good evening.
Tonight, Leeds was subject to a raid by members of the secondary fleet and Primary fleet along with elements from the Liberty Navy secondary fleet. Intelligence warned of an impending attack on New London by forces of the Gallic Royal Navy, a strike forces was quickly assembled and launched from Manchester and Southampton where it regrouped in Leeds along the trade lane to the old New London gate. Our forces were led by the Commanding officer of the Bretonian Royal Fleet ship 'Formidable' (Name is unknown).
Our forces were as follows:
BRF Formidable
HMS Pride
HMS Churchill
HMS Winchester
BAF Capt. E. Steiner
LNS Avoca

We were greeted by a sizeable force of Royal Navy vessels who were identified as:
RNS Tonnant
RNS-Eternel Revanche-II
RNS~Honnete
RNS-Cortana
[RN]-Mary-Anne Reyes
MRG|Zacharie.Micheaux

Once engaged, the RNS tonnant was the first to fall under the concentrated fire of the Formidable and Winchester, followed by RNS Honnete. Shortly after this our only loss was the brave HMS-Churchill. One by one the Royal navy ships were defeated, I belived a 'Zoe Cromwell' arrived to lend fighter support and managed to defeat Mary-Anne Reyes. The moral of the Gallic fleet began to waver and, with their center open, they became divided. RNS-Eternel Revanche-II cruised to the extreme left flank leaving the RNS Cortana to fend for herself on the right, she was downed quickly. Formidable and Pride gave chase as RNS-Eternel Revanche-II made it's way to the New London Jump Hole. HMS-Gibraltar arrived and acted in reserve and I was beset by a stray Gallic Bomber. After a short chase, the Revanche was destroyed in the Southampton Debris field by HMS-Pride.

I am pleased to report that our victory was well savoured and that the Rules of engagement were upheld to their fullest extent.

Nothing more.

Edmund Steiner
Captain.
