Rosdivani Fleet Sorties in Major Force
The Commonwealth of Rosdivan conducted a surprise sortie of major fleet elements last night according to ship watchers in the island nation. "For about three hours, all you could see was a long gray line of ships coming out of the base," stated one man, reporting over two dozen aircraft carriers from the main fleet base at Naval Base Vulcan alone.
From what our correspondents have told us, this looks like a major surge operation by the Commonwealth Navy of Rosdivan. According to a navy spokesman, "The First, Third and Sixth Fleets have sortied for participation in routine military exercises with the rest of Greater Prussia." Though representing only thirty percent of the Rosdivani fleet, with seventy two of their two hundred and forty active aircraft carriers, the mainstay of their fleet, this surge represents a very potent strike force on its own.
The navy spokesman went on to say that, "this surge is an exercise to keep the fleet in readiness and test its ability to sortie quickly should world events require sudden action." Perhaps so, but one must wonder if this is not in someway connected to the ongoing war in Haven, where the Commonwealth maintains a sizable colony and mercantile presence.
