To: The Benevolent Jaar.
From: King William Andrew Thompson II, Sovreign of the Triune Kingdom and Fuhrer of the Reich.
Take measures to prepare Army Group Hammer to set sail towards a new objective. At a time that you feel opportune, I want this fleet to sail to the proper coordinates I had previously indicated to you and to wait there for my next order.
His Royal Highness,
Will Thompson II
The 25 gigantic ships slowly steered out of the Esamopian harbour. Civilians looked at them with as much awe now as when they had entered the port and attacked their city. out in the strait the escort vessels waited like flies following a cow, even the cruisers looked dwarfed beside the main Ships. In the command center admiral Stanley Burrel looked at the orders recieved from Headquarters. He sent the complementary orders to the StreiteKräfte and set the coordinates to the other ships. Finally, a target worth their attention, it was time to unleach the dogs of war. It was Hammer time...

Incidentally, Metatron tagged some completely irrelevant documents while things happened that would rock the earth...
Meanwhile, back in HARU, children played tag, oblivious to the problems of the world.
The Overlord tagged a lackey upside the head for not making him aware of these developments sooner.
In the dark silent space the Streitekräfte moved towards its predestined destination. Never before had it been as big, never had The Reich had this might and stability. The flagship Grom was surrounded by hundreds of smaller ships as it continued its eternal travel in space.

OOC: Sorry, I clicked a day ago on the send button and assumed it did submit it. I was wrong. I had a nice section all set up. Check your TMs Vegana.
IC: Makeup of fleet:
3 Jackson Class Battleships: RNV Stonewall Jackson, RNV Napoleon Bonaparte, RNV Heinz Guderian
5 Davis Class Aircraft Carriers: RNV Jefferson Davis, RNV Joachim Murat, RNV Erich von Manstein, RNV Robert E. Lee, RNV Will Thompson I
7 Hood Class Submarines: RNV John Bell Hood, RNV Augustus Caesar, RNV Quintus, RNV Elvorix, RNV John Singleton Moseby, RNV J.E.B. Stuart, RNV Nathan Bedford Forrest
3 Reichsburg Class Submarines: RNV Reichsburg, RNV Gerhard von Licht, RNV Matthew Iesus
25 Imperatrice Class Armada Patroling Gunboats (There are so many I wont name them all. They weave in and out of the ships of the fleet, pretty small, equipped with depth charges, a couple torpedos, a few tomahawks, a small caliber deck cannon and three machineguns.)
200 Large Modified Iesus Class transports (Each one carries 50,000 men or a large number of tanks, guns, kubelwagens(jeeps), other armoured vehicles, supplies, rations, water, tents, medical supplies. Everything you would need. 100 are ships that carry just men. 50 carry vehicles to bring the mechanized aspect to the force, 50 carry just supplies and necessary things while the other troop ships carry the supplies to equip the troops to land. They form something like a floating city at sea. It is a logistical nightmere to assemble all of these things so they are kept together and the men live in the fleets and travel from ship to ship on the ferries that travel from one to the other. There is seldom want. It is needless to say, expensive to do this, but coming fresh from a victorious campaign, assets seized were used to finance this mission.)
12 SDI ships. Internal works Classified. They are black, low radar signiture and ride low in the water but they are about the size of a cruiser.
15 assorted hospital ships (Hospitals are set up on land mostly from supplies in supply ships)
10 tugboats incase there are colisions and tight quarters etc.
55 Sabre class recon-exploitation ships. These travel ahead of the fleet by varying distances and check things out before the rest of the fleet goes, they are like the cavalry. well armed with deck cannons, a couple tomahawks, torpedos, and depth charges yet with great speed and power to get in and out of situations quickly.
20 Utility ships. These are ships that bring smaller landing vessels if the fleet is forced to do an amphibious assault as well as bring supplies to construct an emergency harbour if one is not readily available for the rapid deployment of the troops from the transports, something the men are drilled on repeatedly.
OOC: Its huge, its expensive, but its viable. We dont pull these out often unless for an exercise or something else like that.
IC: Message from King Will to Flagship AG Hammer Floatilla, RNV Stonewall Jackson:
*Sail onward. When you get to your location launch exercises. Drill and drill and drill. Practice formation making with some of the ships. Do air drills. Do what you have to. I will contact you then.*
