---BATTLE OF LA HABANA COAST---

 

With the Reformation of the USN and Recapture of US East Coast from the Dreaded Pirate Lord Vicious and his motley crew, The United States Naval Command dispatched a small Frigate fleet off of La Habana. As Congress learned of the Spanish betrayal to the Pirate menace, a reforemdemn was passed unanimously to begin Fleet engagements with a Spanish Warships in Northern Caribbean. On the early morning of 28th May 1816 A frigate force sailed from Florida Keys to begin Frigate Warfare on Spanish Cuba. The Fleet of 2 Constitution Class Super Frigates, 1 Trincomalee and 1 Renomee engaged a vastly superior force whilst heading North West along the Northen Cuba Coast passed La Habana.

 

The heavily armed Spanish Fleet of 1 3rd Rate, 1 Bellona, 1 Ingermanland, 1, Surprise, 1 Cerberus and 1 Frigate was engaged with the port of La Habana still insight. The USN engaged with the weathergage and began harassing the larger fleet. Under heavy fire the US ships valiantly fought a withdrawal whist maintaining the engagement, destroying sails and rigging with each broadside. The Spanish quickly began to get seperated, ADM. MacVaulter order the Fleet to split and continue to engage. The Spanish Surprise became caught in an engagement with the USS BANSHEE (Trincomalee) as he tried to stern rake its crew, Captain Saintjacktar quickly order several turns and broadsides using counter sails to bring his gun to bear. The Surprise sucumbed to mass flooding and sunk with all hands, realizing they were out maneuvered and unable to properly engage the faster Frigate Fleet the Spanish fleet disengaged and returned to Port. The Fleet returned to Florida Keys and each ship was awarded The Navy Cross for thier efforts..... :D

SOls woulda taken out the frigates easily at range me thinks

That has nothing to do with the new model. Proof as example:

In fact, the model made it harder to fight rates with frigates so even better on your side. You might have feared them a bit, when I asked them today for a 3x4 (we on connies they on 3ths) they refused :P

Recapture of US East Coast from the Dreaded Pirate Lord Vicious and his motley crew,    you recapturing from the 5 towers, thats it.   You will recapture it from us the day you will manage to win a PB vs us, wich still not happened in any port    on east coast or west coast

Dear Mr Vicious,

Its a naritive of the Battle of Habana Coast, calm down Nobody care about the PBs jeez. Its a story about good PvP on the High seas and a tactical victory against overwelming odds with use of good seamanship and gunnery . Im sure your ridiculous "Dread Fleet" will come back and mop up, so chill out

Regards

It was a fun battle and an example of where good coordination and tactics may sometimes help overcome a larger OPFOR's superior numbers.

I would have my rate fight your Connie any day. In this video it is shown before the hvy armor patch and it shows multiple frigates sniping SOLs from range and doing very handy work of it. I figure because the video was made in March 31 and the hvy armor patch was released May 15 ish.  In real life it took 3 Frigates to threaten a SOL so their refusing to fight you is on them. I think 3  rates vs 4  hvy frigates would be a very fair fight in their favor.

 

 

ps. what does a Pirate say when they turn 80?
