300km East of Verdan, Aequatius Secundus
The large vessel sat in the water, parts of the hull were marked with rust and its communications and detection systems removed along with the masts they called home. The Ledgerwood had served the fleet well, in her prime she provided the Navy's ballistic missile submarines with the supplies they needed in order to defend the nation from all threats that sat posed against the Republic. The only identity that remained was the large white "3" still painted on the prow, she was the third sister of the Hopper class submarine tenders and after years of service, she unknowingly awaited for her demise at the hands of a new weapons system. After being removed from service and decommissioned, she sat at a scrapping yard along with other vessels no longer fit for serivce for the Republic and watched as others were dismantled slowly on a daily basis and sold of for their bare elements, including a number of her sisters. Now she lay waiting for death at the hands of a reaper she would never lay her eyes on.

Lieutenant-Colonel Sarah Bloom took off from the tarmac inside her F-1A Thanatos tactical fighter, she scoffed at the current mission, "One of the best pilots in the Eastern Command and I get passed over for service in Red Tide only to do missile tests," She thought as she ran a diagnostic on the aircraft's weapons, two AIM-132 missiles for self-defence and a load out of six new AGM-200 Typhoon Anti-Shipping Missiles. They carried 900kg warheads and a single weapon was more than capable of destroying an escort-sized vessel. She switched her radio channels and spoke, "Forester Control, this is Blue Hawk One, on course to target, will call in once I commence attack run, over."
The reply came moments later, "Affirmative, Blue Hawk One, will wait, over and out."
OOC: What I'm looking for in this is someone to provide a ship that wanders a little too close to the target zone and is damaged/sunk in the exercise.
