The Imperial Navy

Commander Fox stood watch over his beloved patrol cruiser, the Dragonfly. it was a calm, cool night, and a cool draft came in through the door, causing goosebumps to rise on his legs.
"Distance to Unidentified target?"
"only 10 clicks sir. shall i try and contact them again?"
"Yes. and launch a flight of 3 Interceptors to check the craft for life before we arrive."
3 fighters roared from the launch bay, and swiftly turned to target.
"This is Crimson leader, we're comming up on the target now..."
The commander sat in his chair, lighting up his pipe.
"What do you see Crimson Leader?"
"It's some kind of aircraft carrier... oh my god... sir they're launching missiles! going evasive! set to...*Crackle*"
"Crimson Leader! Crimson Leader, do you copy?!?"
*Crackle*
"Sir we've lost them."
"Set maximum speed. arm weapons. we're gonna take that thing down."
"Aye sir. Red alert! all hands to action stations!"
The ship smashed the waves aside as it tore towards it's target.
"Alert! Incomming missiles!"
"Evasive action! Launch countermeasures! send a message to The Navy command! inform them of our problem!"
5 Missiles streaked and turned in the sky, like a python stalking a mouse. The Countermeasures launched, but the missiles ignored them and smashed the Dragonfly assunder, ripping her apart in a massive ball of fire, as ammunition aboard the ship detonated.
the warning message was sent just in time.
The mystery aircraft carrier then ignored nearby fishing boats and turned, quietly sneaking off into open water...
Location: Imperial City sea command
"well what is it?"
"Grand Admiral, we have recieved a distress signal from the Dragonfly. she says that an enemy aircraft carrier destroyed her fighter wing and have fired missiles at her."
The old Admiral sat up.
"Hmm... what is the current status of the Dragofly?"
"Sir, we have lost contact with them. and a scout wing of fighters we sent out have found wreakage matching that of the Dragonfly."
"Dammit man! why didn't you just tell me that the distress signal was their last message?"
"The rest of the Admirals felt it wise not to give up hope."
The old Admiral bashed the young commander in the face. he fell backwards, clutching his jaw.
"Get me the Emperor."
Official International transmission
Contact was lost last night with the Patrol craft dragonfly, near International waters. it is suspected that foriegn powers are involved. The Imperial Government has refused to comment further.
(OOC: If you choose to perhaps RP as a fishingboat that happened to be in the area, that would be fine. International comments are fine too. more details will be revealed as i type. but rest assured no nation will be blamed for this attack.)
