From Sierra Leone to Romania, Bulgaria, or Northern Turkey is about 4600 nm.
At 26 mph, it would take you just over 10 days. From Tunis, Tunisadom, about 2 1/2 days.
The EE Naval task force has been targeting our military aircraft and also civilian air liners.
Varna, Bulgariadom is have an incremental naval buildup in port. The 2 supply convoys and 6 LST ships they all hugged the African coast to reduce chance of an encounter with the EE task force, even with escorts.

Last night in a dark Mediterranean Sea, the CoC and Imperial fleets made contact, several hundred miles south-est of Italy. There was warnings and counter-warnings, and then an Imperial destroyer fired an anti-ship missile at the CoC fleet.
The CoC returned fire and land-based aircraft joined the fray. Yak-38 fighters from the Kiev VTOL carrier were no match for CoC F-16s and the CoC ships maneuvered expertly against the Imperial Navy, coordinating their surface attacks with submarines and land-based air strikes.
The carnage is still being sorted out now that dawn is breaking, but confirmed sunk so far are 2 Imperial destroyers and an Imperial cruiser. The Kiev class carrier is burning, but was able to withdraw under its own power with the est of the Imperial flet.

This afternoon a large naval task force departed ROD Naval Station Saint Catherine, bound for the Mediterranean. Carrier Battle Group 8 – recently returned to service after 4-months in fleet maintenance – is heading to sea accompanied by the Amphibious Task Force, loaded with ROD and RPNW Marines.
Carrier Battle Group 8 consists of the JFK class aircraft carrier RODS Armageddon (CV-8), the Ticonderoga (Mk 26) class cruiser RODS Boxer (CG-42), the Arleigh Burke class destroyer RODS Ballista (DDG-114), the Spruance class destroyer RODS Rocket (DDG-118), the Thresher class attack submarine RODS Walleye (SSN-16), and the Sacramento class fast support ship RODS Antelope (AOE-96). Carrier Air Wing 4 is embarked on the Armageddon. CAW-4 consists of VF-1 Myrmidons (12 x F-4S), VFA-5 Buccaneers (12 x F/A-18C), VA-14 Barbarians (12 x A-6E), VFA-17 Wasps (12 x F/A-18C), VS-44 Hellfire (8 x S-3B), HCS-56 Angry Hornets (8 x SH-60F), Detachment B / VAQ-10 Bandits (4 x EA-6B), and Detachment A / VAW-57 Wizards (4 x E-2C).
The Amphibious Task Force consists of the Wasp class LHDs RODS Theseus (LHD-29) and RODS Diomedes (LHD-32), the Whidbey Island class LSDs RODS Agamemnon (LSD-30) and RODS Aeneas (LSD-33), the Austin class LPD RODS Protesilaus (LPD-23), the Iowa class battleship RODS Cerberus (BB-12), and the Spruance class destroyers RODS Lance (DDG-117) and Harquebus (DDG-119).

For the most part the ROD will be in another theater. Egypt and Libya are also on the Mediterranean. There may be some ROD troops fighting as part of another nation's force though. Maybe. I won't be controlling any ROD troops in the Black Sea though to keep it fair as I will be controlling the Eurasian Empire.
The ROD is still willing to send some support units if needed. If their assistance is needed with running a port or supply distribution or graves registration or something like that.

In the Med.
Near Crete, a SSN-688 detected an Alpha making noise heading east at 600 ft moving at 12 knots. The 688 detected a Udaloy to the northwest of it position. it seemed to be following it over the last few hours. The Alpha slowed down and increased depth that had detected the SSN-688 on passive sonar. U-212 detect an EE Alpha. The Alpha had detected a LCS moving at 42 knots towards Crete, Western Crete Naval Base. The Alpha plotted for the LCS, then fired a torpedo on it. The noise gave a clear position for targeting. The 688 fired upon the Alpha. It targeted the Udaloy then fired 2 Mk 48 ACAP at it. The LCS was hit and destroyed by the EE torpedo. After its sonar reported the impact on the LCS, it reported a high speed torpedo headed it way. The Alpha accelerated trying to maximize speed. A rade it lost. The Udaloy fired 3 sub-rock torpedoes at the 688. It detected the inbound torpedoes, fired 3 more sub-rock torpedoes at the 688. 3 minutes later Mk48 ACAP exploded 20 feet below the keel of the ship, the over-pressure, under-pressure and then over-pressure from the non-impact explosion broke the hull of the Udaloy, The second Mk 48 did the same ripped the hull, it sank within 2 minutes. 1 sub-rock hit the 688, the noise from that explosion and the cracking sounds brought two more sub-rocks into it. It sank too.
The losses for the Commonwealth are 1 LCS, 1 SSN-688 class. The the EE it lost an Alpha and a Udaloy,, even though one Ka-52 was airborne. It flew to the Kiev.

Black Sea
A Slava Class cruiser sortied out with a Udaloy DDG south out of Crimea Peninsula hugging the eastern shore, Escort by Nanuchka corvettes. Two LCS corvettes out of Varna, Bulgaria. LCS-42 only has 6 Harpoons while LCS-56 only has 4 Harpoons since being issued to all warships the need to conserve critical weapon is essential . These 2 LCS come into long range of the EE ships. A X-47 provided information to the LCS, A X-Putin drone by EE did the same targeting the two ships. A Nanuchka fired 4 missiles at LCS-42 and a Slava fired 4 SS-N-12 Sandbox Missiles at the LCS-56. The young Lt of LCS-56 is a reserve office in the CoC Navy, hesitated to fire his Harpoons. He did fire 2 Harpoons at the Slava. The LCS radar system detected the incoming, turning further to port, to expose the air-defense weapons. The LCS fired 12 AIR-120 AARAAM missiles hitting two incoming Sandbox missiles, the 57mm gun fired round after round at the SS-N-12 Sandbox hitting one. The last SS-N-12 hit the LCS,... the expolosion cut the ship in two sinking almost immediately. Two survived that were pulled out later, one dying in route. Both Harpoons fired at the Slava were shot down by 6 SA-N-6 Grumble missiles and 4 SA-N-8 Gecko missiles.
. LCS 42 fired all 6 missiles targeting the Udaloy. The Udaloy fired 4 SS-N-14 Silex anti-ship missiles first, none had the air-borne range, but 3 AIM-120 AARAAM were fired but did not have a target as each of the income missile hit the water. A Namuchka was about 1 NM to the west of the Udaloy, it had fired its four missiles at LCS-42. The AIM-120s hit the first two missiles, The 57mm destroyed another, the fourth hit the LCS hitting the bow. Water flooding the ship. despite being at battle stations. # Harpoons were focused on the Nanuchka two which hit despite the air defense systems. No survivors. The Udaloy engaged their missiles hitting 2 Harpoon at range by the SA-N-9 Gauntlet missiles with 12 being fired. The other was destroyed by the AK-630 30mm gait-ling guns.
. The helicopter drone from an LCS was flown back to Varna as the automatic system had it fly high, The other one was lost being aboard ship when it was hit and sank.

Military officials have announce that RPNW troops were deploying to Poland starting tomorrow. The reason given for this first overseas deployment was said to be related to training exercises in that country. Observers question the nature of this deployment as it coincides with recent activity in the region of Ukraine and the Mediterranean Region near Turkey.
Earlier today, transport aircraft have been seen leaving Joint Base Lewis/McCord. It’s believed this is the advance elements deploying to Poland. Polish officials were contacted and have provided the following statement.
“It’s an honor to host a training unit from the RPNW in an effort to improve each nation’s military capability and lay the ground work for future cooperation.â€
Is unclear at this point how many troops will be deployed to the region. What is clear, is trains loaded with Combat vehicles have been seen moving toward the port of Tacoma. In addition, Highway I-90 has seen several convoys moving east from the Yakima Proving grounds.
We will provide more details on this late breaking story as they develop.

So now there are New Canadian and CoC forces in the area and the RPNW on the way. Are you going to form some kind of combined headquarters to coordinate your efforts?
In Turkey, a joint press conference with both Turkish and Imperial officials in Istanbul announced that the Bosporus was being closed to all maritime traffic due to the threat posed by the unscrupulous governments of the CoC and New Canada.
