The SWS Dreadnought was sent to monitor the terrorist group know as the Tiger Mafia. The ship's RSD.1 Nemesis drone scanned the naval base on the terrorist's island, finding something very interesting. The missing Crokorean destroyer was leading three other destroyers out of the harbour, evidently heading for Markcia.
.
Seizing on the opportunity the captain of the Dreadnought launched his two FA-12 Razorback strike fighters to strike the port. Whilst the Nemesis created chaos by striking a shell store the two fighters swooped in at low altitude and released four 2000 pound bombs. One knocked out a communications array, one set fire to a duel dump and the other two struck the leading destroyer, sinking it in the harbour mouth and blocking access.
.
Then aircraft from the SWS Indefatigable flew in to finish the job. Dark Arrows destroyed much of the Tiger Mafia vessels, Razorbacks destroyed port facilities and Peregrine fighters managed to destroy five defending Su-27s for the loss of one aircraft. For good measure other Razorbacks bombed hangers across the island and laid waste to their only runway.
.
The SWS Courage and SWS Vulcan have been pounding enemy positions along the coast in order to prevent a retaliatory strike.
