New Unknown Enemy

This posting has been delayed while we here at Fleet Watch try to confirm our information. The unfortunate result is that we were right: The Fleets have a new enemy who do not appear to be associated with the Elvari at all.

  This enemy force consists of women with warship equipment, very much like the Fleet Maidens, except twisted somehow. Photographs suggest an organic or monstrous quality to the equipment, including eyes, teeth, and body parts mixed in with dark steel an weapons. They are also extremely large.

  Indications are that this new enemy calls itself the "Abyssal Navy" and that the forces encountered so far are subordinates to one central figure.

  We can confirm that the Abyssal Navy was first encountered when a large force appeared from the sea to assault the 1st Fleet navy base at Midway Island, prompting a response from Yamato, Arizona, Hood, and Albacore, as well as Multiversal forces and the home fleet including USS Missouri and USS Iowa.

  While the enemy was driven off, no units were destroyed. Fleet Watch will continue to monitor the situation.

  This battle marks the second time Fleet Watch has footage of a Fleet Maiden engaging her fleet mode. This time, to drive away the Abyssal Navy, Yamato called forth her patron spirit in what we're terming Dreadnought Mode, unleashing a staggered, continuous bombardment on the enemy leader until the entire force submerged.

  No names or designations were collected by Fleet Watch sources, and so temporary monikers are being used around our office to refer to these new enemies: Airfield Princess, Anchorage Princess, and Armored Carrier Princess.

We have also dug up references to "Ta" and "Ru", which appear to be the names of the other two members of the Midway Abyssal Fleet attack force.

Foggy Vancouver Encounter

August 19, 2014

The 3rd Fleet out of San Francisco mobilized against an Elvari incursion threatening Vancouver. Leading the charge was Hornet, with Porter and Johnston in escort and Tirpitz--In the area on vacation--volunteering her guns to the effort as well.

The Stream outlet was detected in the middle of a dense fog bank, where the Fleet and Tirpitz met and deployed. Due to the fog, there are no photos of the enemy or the action, but we're told that it was a single large capital ship that deployed aircraft.

Hornet was later heard saying that the encounter was strange because, aside from aircraft, there was also the presence of beam turrets, not normally found on an Elvari carrier. The vessel was not sunk, but reportedly submerged and retreated under depth charges from Johnston and Porter until it re-entered the Stream.

Tirpitz mentioned a similar encounter in the Black Sea. It's possible the enemy has a new warship that we have yet to get a clear view of.

Cape of Good Hope Incident

(Backdated April 7, 2014)

A minor incursion on the southern tip of South America has resulted in the near complete annihilation of the entire 3rd Fleet surface force and the defeat of the Fleet Maidens Ardent, Bolzano, Cherovna Ukraina, Chuyo, and Eagle. While all Maidens were recovered, seven vessels were lost and six more heavily damaged, including the USS Eisenhower and USS Virginia. The 3rd fleet's submarine maiden, Corvina, is credited with the safe recovery of her squadron after enemy surprise attack caused Ukraina to capsize and struck Eagle hard enough to shatter her Barrier Armor. The incident followed this curious report from the Stream Detection System: Stream detected. Origin, Subantarctic. Two objects on approach to Punta Arenas. Arrival in 3 minutes, 26 seconds. Evacuation of civilian personnel underway. Fleet response confirmed. This suggests a third Elvari base in the 'Sub-Antarctic', previously unknown. Our sources state that only a single Elvari cruiser appeared from the Stream exit, which was immediately engaged by all gathered forces and destroyed. Following that, a series of Elvari weapons fired from the center of the gathered fleet. Sources have no idea as to the origin of these attacks in the ensuing chaos. The port of Punta Arenas has been destroyed, but there has been no indication of Elvari troop movement into the area. Second and Fourth fleet units have moved into the area while the 3rd Fleet maidens recover.

We're pleased to announce that the entire team has survived and will make full recoveries.

Eagle has relayed to us her vow to find and destroy the Elvari responsible, while Chuyo suggested it may be a new enemy ship class, stating that "It's only strong because we don't know what it's capable of. Once we learn that, it will never succeed again." -- Fleet Watch Pacific

Japanese Fleet Maiden?

(backdated December 26, 2013)

Our diggers uncovered this picture which supposedly was taken during the Elvari attack on Kure late last month. The girl is clearly Japanese in origin, judging by the straight cut hair in the 'hime' style. An examination of what our experts could see of her arsenal suggests her spiritual patron to be the Musashi or the Yamato, based on the turret design.

She wasn't present during the 1st Fleet response to Elvari attacking Seattle two weeks ago, nor did she participate in the fleet action with the 2nd and 3rd Fleets at Bermuda or Panama.

Who is this girl? Where has she gone? Has she joined one of the Fleets and just not been put to field yet? Or has she decided to stay solo and protect only her own country, like Tirpitz protects Germany?

We have only questions.

Perhaps answers will surface if and when the Elvari move against Japan again.
