Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is Sub-Commander James Badenoch.
The following is an account of the recent battle in Dublin system, from my perspective.
During my work on 'Operation: Strip Mine' Deckman Adirenne Levai encountered a group of Coalition Forces in Dublin system.
They consister of 1 Battlecruiser, 2 Destroyers and 1 Very Heavy Fighter.
Using her keen intuition she instantly alerted myself and Deckman Michael Bennet.
While I sent out a communication to fellow Bretonian Armed Forces units Mr Bennet went to rendezvous with Miss Levai near Battleship Hood.
Captain John Khatri of the HMS-Matilda was the first to answer my comms. He swiftly made his way to take up position with Miss Levai and Mr Bennet.
I followed course and rendezvoused with them after safely leaving the Ullapool on Graves Station and debarking with my Steelhead bomber.
Captain Khatri warned the opposing Coalition forces and the Molly fighter who now stood with them that if they did not leave their, and I quote, "Fleet will be smashed like glass and their bodies will drift away like sand to the wind". Very poetic of him may I add.
The Coalition forces ignored this warning.
The fighters and Bombers, consisting of Deckmen Levai and Bennet and myself, took up positions on request of Captain Khatri.
The fight was on.
Their Battlecruiser was the first target. Bennet and Levai were pulled off of engaging the Battlecruiser by the Molly and Coalition fighters. I held my own and dealt as much damage to the target as I could until the a ship, whom the captain of I am unsure, called the HMS-Monarch and the Aegis, Captained by Martin Beck broke through the opposition while the Matilda laid down fire on the two Destroyers.
The hostile Battlecruiser was soon eliminated and we focused our efforts on the Destroyers.
At this time more BAF forces showed up, consisting of Willis Osborn, Captain of the Swiftsure and Deckman George Teeze.
Deckmen Bennet and Levai did exceptionally well, both taking out hostile fighters.
Unfortunately Coalition reinforcements showed up and in their already damaged ships were engaged, both ships were badly damaged and forced to retreat or face death.
I commend them both on their bravery and valiance.
One of the Coalition destroyers was destroyed and after seeing this the other fled. The Swiftsure soon took up the chase. The outcome of this however I am unaware of.
By this point there was one Destroyer left, who I believe had shown up mid battle.
Myself and the other forces engaged the Destroyer and it was eliminated spectacularly fast!
With this the battle was won.
The remaining Coalition fighters however, to my surprise, stayed to fight.
Myself and Deckman Teeze engaged the remaining fighters as the rest of the BAF forces moved back to their regular duties.
Unfortunately a last minute fighter showed up and myself and Mr Teeze in our bombers could not keep up with the speed of their Fighters and were forced to retreat.
By this time a number of BAF fighters had shown up to take over where we left off.
I have heard that one of the Coalition fighters blew their own ship up, if this is a battle technique then I have never seen nor heard of it and do not recommend that we practice it.
That is all the knowledge I currently have on the battle. Perhaps other reports from BAF Regulars and other members of the Merchant Navy can shed more light with more perspectives.
Once again I will commend Deckmen Teeze, Bennet and Levai on their determination, bravery and prowess in this battle!
Always ready to report for duty and catch haggis!
Yours sincerely,
James Badenoch, Sub-Commander of the Bomber Unit.
