Official communique from New Harumf Maritine Offices to: Denizistan Naval Command: We would like to inquire as to by what authority or act of war Denizistan is allowing the blockade of the Straights of Gibralter? It has been my long understanding that this was considered a global stragetic waterway and was subject to closure only be agreement between Denizistan and Xeres and Catalonia. Since X&C obviously did not approve this blocade by European powers, I must assume it is taking place with your authority and approval. Cease and desist imediately. If foreign powers are performing this blockade without your permission, then please ask for international help to lift the blockade. Yours, Madame Sophia Steed, Minister of Maritime Affairs |

Then why does Marracon claim to have a blockade of the Straights of Gibralter, and claim to have it's 4th fleet performing this blockade, when it is in a war with Saxe-Coburg, with which, I believe, you have peaceful relations? New Harumf's 2nd fleet is streaming towards Gibralter for normal deployment into the Mediterranean Sea. We shall submit to all appropriate inspections by Denizistan, and will then proceed through the straights. We assume this will occur without incident with the Marracon Fleet. |

The South African 1st fleet (7 modern warships, and 15 Cold War-era warships) will assist the New Harumfian 2nd fleet to break the blockade at Gibraltar. Amid great fanfare and celebrations this South African vanguard fleet disembarked from Durban this morning, with a blessing from Cardinal van Bourgendien. Air squadrons and naval fleets all around the nation are being activated for service to assist Saxe Coburg and Burgundy. |

The timing couldn't have been better, as the New Harumfian 2nd Fleet rounded the Cape in time to join up with the South African 1st Fleet. This Armada steamed up the south Atlantic bound for Gibralter. |

OOC: Morraconian vessels are not in the Strait of Gibraltar. They are straddling the line between international waters and Morracon's territorial waters to the Northeast of the Strait. All traffic will be permitted to pass through the Strait without interference by the Morraconian Navy other than enemy warships. We are within our rights as a sovereign nation to position our navy in international waters and our warships are within their rights to engage any belligerent vessels they might encounter. We are not violating the territorial waters of CENTO or Great Denizistan in any way, shape or form so the accusations against our nation are completely unfounded. |

The folowing was posted as a Morrocon News Release in the European thread, "War in Saxe-Coburg":
Moving to "seal" the Strait of Gibralter to any naval forces you feel are hostile is an act of aggression against all Meditteranean nations, and all nations wishing to do business, or perform defensive actions in the Med. We demand a withdrawl of your fleets out of international waters within 300 miles of the protected area of the Straits of Gibralter, or a return to your on territorial waters. Also, any move against Burgundy by your fleet, including their occupying troops in Monaco, will be considered an act of war by New Harumf against the Catholic Church. Admiral Dorothy Gale, commander of the 2nd fleet of New Harumf. |

Secretariat-General João Café: Our expansion of our current navy by 55 modern warships will be completed sometime around the 20th of this month, the bulk of such ships were to be deployed in the southern portion of the Indian Ocean to the Cape of Good Hope, however, we feel uneasy about this blockade in the Straits of Gibraltar. A sizable portion will be used to reinforce our fleets in the Mediterrean Sea... Vice-Presidente Silvio Berlusconi: We can only hope that peace prevails, the ship deployment is to aid the call of our brothers in Burgundy, Saxe-Coburg, and New Harumf. We will aid in enforcing New Harumfian policies regarding these states. |

NNNN.com First in News! Period. Norightsian Ships Join up with Harumfian and South African Fleet The V Battle Group that had previously been steaming for Syawla has joined the Catholic Armada. However, this is a somewhat controversile move, as the Emperor has refused to go to war with Morracon and Free Britain. The Press quotes him as saying. "Our ships are there to simply ensure that Morracon hasn't sealed the Straits to Norightsian traffic, and to protect the fleet from Denizi raids. No shots will be fired on Morraconian ships unless they are first recieved." |

The combined fleets have passed the Canary Islands, and are approaching the Straights of Gibralter at 14 knots. We await instructions from Denizistan regarding passage through the Straights. |

The fleet of the Catholic Nations has steamed through thew Straights of Gibralter unopposed, so we will begin patrolling the Med immediately. The New Harumfian fleet is breaking away from the main body heading north toward Barcellona. (I am duplicating this post in the European Thread). |

NMN: Neo-Macedonia News The Government today released a statement making official, some unofficial reports which came to the media a few days ago. The Genesis Fleet did join up with the New Harumfian and South African fleets which as the passed by the capital on their way to the Straights. They are now in the Mediterranean and will continue to the patrol the area for the next month. The government has yet to officially make a statement on where they stand with the war in Europe however, unofficial reports state that the government has been making plans to switch the economy to a more war time economy, with the arms industry working overtime. However, no official reports of press releases have been made as of yet. This has been a NMNreport. |

OOC: I'm still waiting on a response from Denizistan. Here's the composition of the Morraconian Fleet IV: 1 Peace Council Class Super Battleship (I.N.M* Invulnerable) 2 Cernícalo Class Aircraft Carrier (I.N.M* Francisco Ramirez, I.N.M* José Zorilla) 4 Avispa Class Amphibious Assault Ships*** 5 Calamar Class Nuclear Attack Submarines 10 Aguila Class Cruisers 10 Cóndor Class Frigates 10 Halcón Class Guided Missile Destroyers 2 Monstruo del Mar Class Nuclear Missile Submarines**** 1 Albatros Class Mine Vessel** The warships are manufactured in Morracon within the last twenty years and should be considered the equal to their american counterparts. |

OOC: Might I suggest trhat the size of your Navy is just a little high? Like by a factor of 10?? Just my personal view. |

OOC: By the time Japan surrender, I think the U.S. had somewhere in the range of at least 20 fleet carriers and at least 50-100 escort carriers. They had started to phase out Battleships by then. |

Yes but were they all in one engagement at the same time? Denizistan implies he has more than that by stating that only certain groups of his navy are there. And I do not believe that the US ever had more than a few super battleships, let alone 55. |

The US was building 4 "super"battleships called the Montana class. They were never completed. |

The Montanas were cancelled before they had even been layed down. In fact, the sixth Iowa was never laid down either. Only the Kentucky was started but not finished. |

Who was that directed at? If you're talking to me there was a thread sometime ago about Morracon developing nuclear weapons. The nuclear ballistic missile subs are nuclear powered subs that launch ballistic missiles. In this case they aren't carrying nuclear missile but rather Tomahawk cruise missiles. See my military thread for more info. If you want to look up the nukes the thread is called "Changes Abound in Morracon". |
