The Destroyers DD 16 and DD19 from Masabé were caught off the coast of New Guernsey by a strong air contingent from Zevonia, supported by a detached flight of Dulocian Lansens. Though the two destroyers were escorted by a pair of F100s from Masabé and two NG Hunters the attacking air craft swept the CAP aside. Zevonian Skyraiders waded through heavy but inaccurate flak to attack with rockets. These attempts missed but as the fighter defence had been swept aside the Zevonian and Dulocain aircraft strafed DD 16 until it started to burn. Munitions were exploding and the destroyer was left dead in the water. Later it is believed to have been towed into Asquithville on the NG coast.
The Masabé President has declared the attack on its navy as a virtual declaration of war and has vowed that his country will retaliate with all its might.
Lieutenant Zeke Zwolo from Duloc score three kills in the swirling combat and his been recommended for his country’s highest award, the Golden Elephant Medal of Bravery.
