Guten Tag. This is Soldat Mettenheim, reporting on a recent fleet action in the Stuttgart system. My patrol originated in the New Berlin system, where I linked up with Korvettenkapitan Mathews. While we were originally slated to ensure the safety of traders arriving via the Hamburg-Hudson connection, the Oder-class gunboat RNC-Wulfsburg attached itself to our wing. It was decided that between our two Mjolnir-class snubcraft, and a gunboat from the self-defence forces, we would be able to take on some of the hardier elements of our fine house, and so we moved to inspect the lanes of Stuttgart. As Herr Mathews said in his recent transmission, we moved to engage what appeared to be two Coalition snubcraft. It was only until we were upon them that we realized that we were facing down a destroyer and its escort. We targeted the snubcraft first, though the Wulfsburg was heavily damaged in the process, and we decided to peel off and leave the destroyer to heavier hardware.
While admittedly I am somewhat cautious and disdainful of the so-called “reserve fleet” that makes up our self-defence forces, the RNC-Wulfsburg performed admirably in the face of imminent danger. It would do well to incorporate the Wulfsburg into further actions, and assess it for full incorporation into the Rheinwehr primary fleet.
Mit Warmen Unterkünften
Soldat, Heinrich Mettenheim
