IDF cancels fleet re-fit
The IDF fleet had been planning a 2-3 month refit period. This is being delayed for some time due to the fact that divers have discovered that the ships were in better shape than expected. The minor refit will be put off until 5 more years when major fleet refits are made.
The HLF mission has been canceled. The IDF fleet is sortying out half of the ships into the North Atlantic to get out ahead of Chellis' excercises as such a large formation may accidentally draw missile fire on accident.

OOC: Spain was transferred to my control, last night RL, and the thread is out there ... http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=375153... so, since you're NATO, and I'm not exactly best friends with NATO, I'll most likely ask you to accept an aerial escort, from Southern Italy, to the beginnings of the Straits, and from the end of the Straits to about 200kms out...just for protection...so, you can tell me when you hit that distance, or you can just accept OOC, to make things flow easier.
OOC: I'm not planning an attack of any kind, if I do you can Ignore it at will. I will also add that no troop transports or marine ships are traveling with them. If you still want to send up send up birds to monitor do so, but remain outside 150 nm. I will send up fighters to play the usual games when a carrier group is being trailed.
The main mission here is to test the new Scorpion class SSN as well as the new F-14I Super-Tomcat. Pretty much there will be a large IDF war game where I split the ships in the Atlantic into two groups and have them fight eachother with blue missiles.
Izistani ground forces have pulled out of HLF and are currently being shipped back to Izistan from Tel Aviv. The fleet will remain in the Mediterranean until tensions ease.
The IMS Izistan has also canceled its PR tour and has been rerouted to the Suez Canal to link up with the first fleet. The landing craft are already in transit to Izistani ports.

OOC: I didn't expect an attack..its just that realistically, I would have to trail the fleet due to IC tensions between NATO and I. But I will heed your warning and stay 150nm out.

OOC: No problem, I'd do the same. I'll of course send up F/A-18s or F-14Ds up with them and they'll just pretty much wave at each other. I won't send the new F-14I up as I don't want it to be seen until the complete testing that will be done.
