"Sir, the enemy is closing in on our superwarships guarding the channel. They've concentrated their fire from the north and south sections, and our ships may not be able to hold the line."

Hodston ponders over the battle charts for a moment, then comes to a decision.

"Have them move in closer to the harbor, see if they can't draw the enemy in within range of the Battery's 204cm and 53cm guns. Also tell the attack boats to prepare to charge one of the superwarships from the flank then pull back in for more missiles."

The IKN vessels in question move to carry out the admiral's orders, and soon the Medusa's Stare finds herself being charged by 200 Firespray and 70 FATQ'' class attack craft. The FATQs dart around and fire their torpedoes and 38cm guns before retreating, though some are unmanned and ram the superwarship and explode on impact. The Firesprays soon follow with a missile barrage, then they too retreat back to the harbor.''

''Meanwhile the KISDF force which had not been too involved yet, now charged in to the battle full bore with 46cm guns blazing. They move to support the AFOH assault on the southern flank, with the goal of forcing a gap with the AFOH forces and dividing the enemy fleet. ''

Under the north portion of the IKN fleet, a pack of Ewe-11 and Pittshaven class attack submarines engage the American Kraken'' class submarines. While they do, the Pittshavens launch VLS missiles at enemy surface warships at nearly point blank range, sometimes even firing directly in to the keel of enemy ships.''
