1940

Grand Admiral of the Pacific Ajax Plomien took the three ships in Europe under his control to his new position in Asia, to counter the Japanese threat. The three ships under his control are the Battleships Warsaw and Laane and the BattlecruiserHiiu. The two forces were divided between Grand Admiral Ajax and his Vice Admiral Abraham Dubicka. The force was split up between 6th fleet (under Grand Admiral Ajax) and 18th fleet (under Vice Admiral Abraham.) The 6th fleet had the Battleship Warsaw and Battlecruiser Hiiu, with 1 carrier, 3 heavy cruisers, 6 light cruisers, 18 destroyers, and 2 submarines. The 18th fleet had the Battleship Laane with 1 Pocket battleship, 1 heavy cruiser, 5 light cruisers, 10 destroyers, and 1 submarine.

Early in the morning of May 16th, Battlecruiser Hiiu and destroyer Hussar (of the Holy Cross Class, and Camisir II class respectfully.) Broke off too hunt for the submarine I-18 which was hunting convoys in Africa. And the entire reason the Hiiu was there was to protect the Hussar from the Russian cruiser Mikoyan, which would end up saving the two ships from what would come.

(Battleship Hiiu underway)
The very next morning though, a patrol of Japanese Ki-5Bs taking off from the carrier Zuiho would find and attack the Hiiu.

(the Ki-5B squad)
The two dived on the Hiiu. The first one dropped both bombs, but missed.

(The first bomber missing the Hiiu)
This caused the *Hiiu to turn into the other one, which caused the bomber to get torn up by a new Polish invention, the Thunderstrike AA system, an eight barreled, 37mm AA gun made to be mounted on warships. The rounds that hit tore one of the wings off of the Ki-5B, causing it to crash.

(The Ki-5B after missing its wing)
Meanwhile the rest of the force, they sailed to where the Hiiu was to refuel by Mexican tankers, while the Hiiu and Hussar
hunted the I-18. One of the Mexican ships sent was the SS Navaho, a coiller that was converted from the destroyer USS Bainbridge DD-1.

Then the second Japanese attack happened. The first ship to be sunk was the SS Navaho by the leader of the group of Ki-5Bs with one torpedo.

The next ship to sink was the KSP Minsk, an Otesk class heavy cruiser. She was mistakened for a battleship. But after she was hit, she literally rose up in the water, snapped in half, and pieces from the bridge flew every where, the mast of the ship hit the Delta turret of the Warsaw almost detonating the Ammo rack.

The next ship to be attacked was the KSP Riga, a Lutesk class light cruiser. Lucky for her, her Thunderstrike AA blew up the Ki-5B before it lined up for an attack run.

While all this was happening, the aircraft carrier Jakob Murray launched a small group of PZL-38 Trops to protect the fleet, they scored a couple kills on the escorting A6M2b Zekes.

While all this was happening, a Mexican PBY-5A spotted the BattlecruiserHiiu and destroyer Hussar and radioed to them that they have sunk the I-18, causing the two to turn back, and arrived just in time to see the group of Ki-5Bs leave.

(The Hiiu being spotted by a PBY-5A)
When the Hiiu and Hussar returned, they saw carnage, 6 ships floating in the water, motionless, while 4 ships have been sunk, 2 burning, and one spinning in circles, one of the two that where burning, was the Battleship Warsaw, the fire would be put out, and she would make it to Point Gamma, Philippines (a Polish military base) to await further orders, the ship that was circling was the Kraców class light cruiser, KSP Klaipeda, she rammed the destroyer KSP Mieszko I, a Camisir II class destroyer. There was a loud clang, and then the bow of the Mieszko I, Punctured the hull of the KSP Klaipeda and blew up the ammo room of the Klaipeda. One of the ships that was in the vicinity, was the aging destroyer Pantera, the lead of her class, she burned and burned and was scuttled.

(The KSP Mieszko I, and the KSP Klaipeda after the ammo room detonated)
It ended up the polish lost 10 ships, they lost the heavy cruisers Minsk and Kiev, the three light cruisers Klaipeda, Lódz, and Tallinn", with the 5 destroyers *Mieszko I, Pantera, Daniel, Adam, and Alexander. The three Mexican coillers Navaho, Aztec (whom had sailed with the MS Mexico, just months earlier), and the Mayan where all sunk.
