HMS Torbay sinks and embarrasses the pompous Royal Navy.

Another incident leading a cold war -like stance with UK was the mysterious sinking of a British SSN, S-90 HMS Torbay, was most likely caught off guard about 120 miles NNW of Attland. Both countries are keeping mum about the circumstances of the sinking. What is known is that many British sailors were rescued by Attland's Navy, but many were, according to UK government, suspiciously incapacitated, or died soon afterward. The captain's condition worsened to a point where he could not communicate with Red Cross officials. He was returned to the UK by way of Morocco only in 2008, after having been kept, unacknowledged, in a medical facility.

The most serious and heavyweight notice to other navies was issued after this incident, where Attland's temporary rotation chancellor warned that in order to protect the island's coastal security, his Navy was ready to fire first on any military vessel acting in an unfriendly manner.

The Hidden Fjord

I have seen the entrance to this fjord while on my way from Waldihnok to Bermuda. The entrance is tucked between intensely precipitous cliffs, and it really does not look like there is any passage to it. My friend Leopoldo took a picture of the entrance, and then even painted it, plus a submarine making its way up the fjord. Attland is known fro hiding its submarine bases in the nooks and crannies of the northern shores' fjords and bays.

The beginnings of Wolf Dolgrynd, the stealth chancellor

Until the Day of Victories, which also serves as a Armed Forces Day, Attland was governed by a rotating provisional chancellors, most of whom were of little fame as they came and went.

Suddenly, following the perfect weather of the January holiday, the news had ot that a totally unknown man was pronounced to head the government.

Little was disclosed to the media about his background. What was noticeable was his precise military bearing.

He conducted press briefings in a distinctly concise and abrupt, though relaxed, almost aloof manner. Later in March 2006 he announced the Miklasgard's absorbing Maunby, Carolinga, Pyrsborg and Kayokee, and that was when public became aware that he was married to two women. When the media's probed him with questions of his marital status, and asked rhetorical questions about his feelings of being referred to as practicing bigamy, he exercised an utmost self-control and diplomatic avoidance.

Media soon found out his extremely short resume which mention his military service as a senior officer in the military's Budget Comptroller and the Accounting Command. Most pople thought nothing more of the quiet, youngish chancellor, other than a man dividing his time between running a government and spending time with his wives and at least three children.

Just after the announcement that one of his wives had given birth to a baby boy, the world woke up on April 10, to learn that Attland military carried out the Operation PRINCE PAWN, capturing Gibraltar within 6 hours, with no casualties on Attland side, with over 100 British military and citizen dead. Attland's colors hoisted, permanent military territory and martial law was proclaimed; and talks with Spain started regarding limited Spanish rule. The operation has has also been used a decoy for the operation WEST SPORTS, though Gibraltar was a major choke point on the straights, as well as a communications and electronic surveillance center.

Diplomatic relations with most countries were strained, especially after maintaining a military stance that resulted in a destruction of 19 of 20 jet fighters that British Air Force sent to counter Attland military. Britain quickly abandoned the idea, since Attland deployed an aircraft carrier, 2 battleships, 10 cruisers, over 20 destroyers, almost a hundred patrol craft, and a landing force of unknown size. The surprise loss of the British outpost has deeply weakened Tony Blair political status.

Using the PRICE PAWN as a convenient and useful decoy, the Attland military feigned the relaxation of the military tensions by sending the naval force at Gibraltar home, while a new, relief naval task force seemed to sail for Gibraltar by way of Suez Canal, and having been formed from ships already in the Mediterranean that seemed to provide support to Israel Navy.

On April 20, however, Operation WEST SPORTS entailed a surprise landing on Cyprus, capture of the island within a day, and total cessation of operations in seven days. Under 5 Attland dead; over 1,000 dead including British military, Cypriot and foreign nationals. Martial law, and limited Turkish Cypriot administration installed.

The Echelon electronic listening post on the island had been captured, the British force arrested, though not taken POW, US military personnel shortly detained and flown to a US military base in Turkey. Britain's military prowess and capability has shown its uselessness. The success and speed of operation also precluded journalists from reacting and deploying to the area.

Amethyste's sinking raises tensions with France

While operating in the eastern-central Atlantic, on December 23, 2004, an Attland's SSN was pinged by an active sonar from the French S605 Amethyste, the leader of the name class, and found herself being pursued while receiving signals of an aggressive postur and rigging on the French submarine.

SSN's captain terminated avoidance maneuvers, commenced counter-maneuvers, and, after exchanging active pings with the Amethyste, launched his weapon. The French sub became damaged, and, unable to surface despite frantic and well-heard damage control operations, slowly sank during agonizing 6 to 10 hours. SSN specialists have heard the French sub shutting down her nuclear reactor. Nuclear chemistry tests run by SSN determined that there was no release of radioactive material from the sub.

After 5 hours from being damaged, the French sub has launched her emergency buoy which prompted a rescue mission to arrive in the general area of the sinking, unable to located the sunken sub until January 2-nd of 2005. The government of France has ascertained that its sub was sunk by a another country's naval craft, and has demanded Attland to confirm her responsibility, which Attland did, drawing ire and condemnation of the international community for idly standing and failing to call for any rescue operation where time was of essence.

The sinking has earned the captain, the SSN and her crew the Meritorious Battle Award.

The North Korean sub's sinking questions, and ends Attland's Far East operations

While operating in the shallows of the Yellow Sea on Novemeber 10-11 2003, an Attland's SSN encountered a North Korean Chinese-model Romeo-class diesel submarine. After being pinged with active sonar and receiving signals of the North Korean's aggressive posture, the SSN launched her weapon, thereby destroying the diesel sub. Unofficial sources in Chinese Navy suggest that the sub was North Korea's native Sang O class sub.

This was the first event which earned the SSN, her crew and her captain Meritoriuos Battle Award.

The previous incident where an enemy sub was sunk (Iranian Kilo SSK) has resulted in only the captain receiving the award.

The National Government has found that there was no longer any national interest in operating any military forces int he Far East, and in the Yellow Sea specifically, thereby withdrawing all naval assets from the area. Attland still honors treaties she has signed with Japan guaranteeing Japan any assistance in defense against any foreign aggression.

Attland's SSN sinks Iranian's Russian-made sub

Operating in the straights of Hormuz during the second Gulf War, an Attland SSN detected an Iranian Kilo-class SSK rigging into an aggressive posture, having opened torpedo tubes to the sea and assuming the minimal cross-section posture. Upon receiving data of the enemy sub's imminent aggressive moves, the SSN launched her weapons, sinking the SSK.

I remember the reaction of the foreign media that seemed to side with the Iranians, tsince by then, Attland was perceived as boasting a brutal and aggressive military.

This was the frist indication in the media that the SSN was manned mostly by Maarheinigt.
