HMS Chelsea

One of the unfortunate naval battles of the new Napoleonic Era occurred between the HMS Vinlandia Finlandia and one of her own ships, the HMS Chestino and her escort frigate ships the HMS Miles and the HMS Arcturo while the foolish and adventurous HMS Chelsea got involved in the national sport of picking on smaller ships like the little Corvettes that ran that coast around Port Royal on intel duties, officially pirates but actually ships of the Royal Bodyguard Lines, the Blues and Royals, friends of Monterrey and Montecito. They - the Vinlandia Tribelius and the Chestino Varo - being really APSAs or Anglican Penetration Secret Agents, picked on these little Corvettes for no other reason than to throw around their body weight and these are large lumps of captains hogging on old fashioned wooden galleons of the old order. Or were they French cruisers all along, just merely disguised? One of the infamous Napoleon hidden cloak and dagger squadrons that so infested the Tyrrhenian Sea in the years 2013 to 2024. Dreadful lot, picking on smaller ships. No angelic guides there, merely the slurry and sludge and sewage of the dark internet world at Via Montserrato, symbolised in their long term abuse of the lovely ship HMS Beda. Betrayal comes at huge costs to any of the ships in the Roman waters of Terronia. 

USS Duang

 Somewhere out there in the South Seas, a USS warship is readying her crew for some action, the USS Duang, as the French Napoleonic corvettes and frigates continue their murderous kidnapping campaign without let up in those seas .... .. 

MV Warcraft

Of course one of the problems with Venerabile French warships and their corvettes and frigates is the inordinate amount of time they spend on the gaming boards of the high seas, messing around with the teenage sector, press-ganging young people into their revolutionary navy, promoting Iranian backed revolutionary guards of the old imperial kind, acquiring oil barrels and minions, the huge over stuffed kind of the stuffed shirt type, and generally being a payne in the neck to deal with, putting out to sea then and harassing the young day trippers and barges of the Thames and other rivers too like the noble Severn, dreadful lot, and all because they wish to support the Waterloo side of their campaigns, when Waterloo is eventually decided upon, methinks. Meanwhile the Iberian peninsular campaign is going to plan. Even their old Napoleon figure, sitting astride his white Magenta warhorse like a tin pot god, is not that keen on an 1815 chiefly because he has lost a few battles now in that campaign to the Allies in Lisbon fresh from their landings.

HMS Warwick III

Sad to say the enemies of all good UK religion are back in action, this time as the MV Warcraft and following escort ships in the Channel flying the pirate flags of the old Mi3 and trying to get under the radar of our own brave Royal Navy, firing on defenceless little civilian day tripper boats like the HMS Johnnies and generally being a nuisance on the high seas, a pain to have to go after and correct.

HMS Crossfire

One of the problems of the northern fleets of the RN in the Norwegian Sea is that from time to time, the seductions of the simplicity of the French Revolution of 1789 bewitches grey mediocre Sixth Form minds of ships like the HMS Guardian, and so too one example of a ship that went over to the pirates was the HMS Solihull who was seduced into error by the Austrian captains speaking poor low grade German with a comediac accent if they only knew, and these were the captains of the SS Schonheit, the SS Weg, the SS Gottweig the old problem again, the SS Legion under Capt Mariana, the SS Kristoffs and the SS Linz, since those captains practised a low grade mission on the high seas, stealing in to the slutshaming kind of port near the Adriatic from time to time, so the Captainess of the SS Solihull did not think her trips away from her HMS Hubby went observed, but she was eventually caught down south on the south coast plying her new trade with a new ship the SS San Riccardo Pampuri, a much pampered ship of the French line led by the vieni vieni Duke of Anjou. She was caught eventually by the great and brave ships of the RN, the HMS Baddesley, the HMS Knoxall, and the HMS Coombe while on intercept duty in the Red Sea, herself heavily laid low by her enduring weakness for Scarlet Fever, caught red handed, finger in the till, a brave girl but a traitor to the Austrians. Traitors do occur.

Pirates ahoy

One of the long term duties of the Royal Navy is the occupation and boarding of slavery ships crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean, and despite the official values of the Revolution in Paris in 1789, the Napoleonic ships still do indulge in slavery and the transporting of slaves, some of them quite young, as young as 14, as they like to invoke the Codex to justify their actions and their trades, since the Codex establishes an age of consent for youngsters at 14, and so the RN intercepts ships like the SS Jamaica, the SS Barbados, and the SS Gateshead from time to time, plus even the SS Port Royale, and there forces the pirate captains to disembark their slaves on the islands there, including Epcon island near the old harbour for Israeli ships. 

HMS Warwick

Napoleonic ships of the line such as the SS Sherington and the SS Haffner like to hide down south in the waters of the Sandwich Islands and South Georgia, hunting the SS Scharnhorst and the SS Tipper, hoping thereby that they will evade a call up for duty, though increasingly Russian tallships have committed to the cause and are proposing a slow process and yet a systematic process of denazifying the shipping lanes of Napoleon's traffic on the high seas, especially in the South Atlantic and the Tierra del Fuego circlet of volcano friendly islands around the Beagle Islands, very appropriately, where much hunting of the USS Fox takes place still. The Russians do not like tyrants and Napoleon is one of those.
