The Battle of the Sirte Gulf (storytelling)

On Febuary 15, on the early dawn as the sun rose over the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, three large objects ripped through the waves, it was the Destroyers Lynx, Vixon, and the Leviathan. Their mission – to track down and annihilate the Battlecruiser Sparis, the strongest and largest ship at the time. 
Earlier, the Emrian Republic found itself at war with the Arab Islamic Caliphate, as Republic of Tunisia merge, creating a threat to Emrian security. War ensued, marked by declarations and alliances. The Sirillian forces aligned themselves with AIC, with the navies of Burgitanía and Aean's PMC supporting ER. Meanwhile, as Sparis and other accompanying vessels navigated the waves, their destination set to reinforce ground troops, and to provide bombardment. 
Leviathan, a destroyer from Burgitanía, detected the approaching enemy fleet on its radar. Swiftly relaying the crucial information to its counterparts, order was given out, "Enemy forces Dead Ahead, full speed to starboard!". Charging full ahead towards the enemy fleet, their masts gradually creeped from the dark, early horizon. The crew of Sparis had opted to disable their radar in an attempt to evade detection and sneak by. However, as the shadowy silhouettes of the coalition fleet loomed closer, a palpable sense of dread engulfed the crew. With no time to react, the order was given. "FIRE!". Leviathan, along with Lynx and Vixon unleashed a relentless barrage upon Sparis and the fleet. Caught completely by surprise, the fleet struggled to organize themselves as the shells found their target and shook the formation, wreaking havoc upon them. In the chaos of battle, the AIC ship returned fire, hitting Lynx on her anti-air ammunitions locker, starting a furious blaze. Vixon surged forward, her bow aimed at Sparis, unleashing a relentless onslaught of firepower. Having seen Lynx getting hit, Leviathan turned to support her comrade, unleashing salvos that tore apart the superstructure of the AIC ship.
But despite the hall of shells coming from coalition joint fleet, Sparis's guns remained silent. Then, Vixon found her mark, as a shell punched through Sparis's starboard side, detonating underwater underneath the main armour belt, flooding the ship. With luck, Vixon had managed to hit Sparis in her only vulnerable area, as other incoming shells began lighting up Sparis. Yet, her guns remained ominously quiet. 
In a fit of frustration, the captain of Sparis, enraged by the damage inflicted upon his vessel, defied the Admiral's orders and yelled "I will not let MY SHIP to be reduced to scrap by puny destroyers from under my ass! OPEN FIRE!" Sparis's cannons roared to life, unleashing a devastating barrage upon Vixon, which valiantly charged forward in a heroic sacrifice. The ensuing exchange proved fatal for Vixon, torn part by the relentless onslaught from Sparis's guns. Obliterating its bow and collapsing its hull, Vixon stopped dead. Sparis fired until a colossal explosion from Vixon thundered through the skies, splitting her in half and claiming the lives of most of the crew. In a show of cold, harsh discipline, the crew of Sparis swiftly redirected their fire towards Lynx. Despite Leviathan's desperate attempts to provide assistance, it proved futile. Sparis's shells found their mark, raining down upon Lynx with devastating accuracy. Despite Lynx's valiant efforts to maintain her assault on Sparis, the relentless barrage took its toll. Shell after shell tore into Lynx's already ravaged deck, causing her to list and eventually succumb to the sea below. Yet, not without inflicting significant damage upon Sparis, leaving her reeling from the onslaught.
Leviathan, was the only ship left afloat, alone amidst the vast expanse of the unforgiving sea, Leviathan stood to fend for herself against Sparis's might. A order echoed from the brigde. "Hard to port, full steam ahead, charge!". Leviathan swirled around at flank speed as she closed the distance to confront Sparis head-on. She unleashed a torrent of fury upon Sparis, shell after shell tore her deck, even Leviathan's AA struck Sparis. Wrecking her apart as she tried to circle around Leviathan, desperately maneuvering to seek refuge from the relentless assault. 
Yet, not without consequence, Leviathan suffered damage as her bow was struck, torn off from the destroyer, and her main turret sent soaring into the air. However, relentless in her pursuit, Leviathan pressed on, relentlessly pounding Sparis until, finally, succumbed to a sudden halt, engulfed in flames. 
Both vessels, heavily damaged and incapacitated. Amidst the heavy air of defeat, Leviathan, her bow now a jagged remnant of her former self, turned her attention to the task of rescue, her crew worked tirelessly to save what remained of their fallen comrades from Vixon and Lynx. With grim determination, she limped back to port, bearing the weight of the fallen upon her scarred hull. Meanwhile, Sparis, now a lifeless twisted husk upon the desolate waters, her once-potent form reduced to nothing but wreckage, the rest of the fleet vanished into the waters. Towed back to port, she stood as a testament to the cost of the battle, she would require months of painstaking repair. The air was thick with sorrow as the true cost of the battle unfolded. The only reported losses were from Vixon, and they were devastating. 252 would lose their lives, and only 10 survived the relentless onslaught. The heavy toll weighed on the hearts of those who witnessed the tragic conclusion of a fierce naval engagement.
