Battle of Snapper Sea

The Battle of Snapper Sea was a naval battle between the Nation of Bloxtotska and the State of Mayflower (The United States)
=== Prequel to Battle ===
In September of 1989, the State of Mayflower and the United States Navy brought together a force of 4 battleships, 1 cruiser, and 2 destroyers and attempted to open fire upon Fort Standish while civilians were at the market. The Bloxtotskan Home Guard quickly evacuated all civilians into the Fort Standish Bunkers, while a small detachment of the Bloxtotskan Stormtroopers set off to attempt the capture at least one of the Battleships. 
In the following skirmish, the Detachment was able to commandeer one Battleship, naming it the BSS Albino. It then turned its guns to the nearest enemy ship, nearly flipping itself by doing a full broadside into the ship located to it's right, sinking it within minutes. The crew then traversed it's guns to another battleship, destroying the Bridge in one volley. Following this, the remaining ships surrendered and their crews were brought to Bloxtotska for questioning. It is estimated around 10% of sailors captured defected to Bloxtotska, several high ranking US Navy officers were put on trial before Judge SerbiaSmells (The Standish Decisions), and the rest of the prisoners were released.
=== The Battle ===
A few months after this event, another group of US Naval vessels were brought to the Snapper Sea, off the coast of Augustus County. Seeing the ships get into a firing position, the Bloxtotskan Naval Forces, now founded following the events of September 1989, scrambled all ships to meet the oncoming threat. A massive battle began around 12pm on March 29th, 1990 with shells being lobbed over miles distance. 
The battle would rage one for several hours before finally coming out a Bloxtotskan Victory, just slightly. With one destroyer and one Battleship sunk from the Bloxtotskan forces, they successfully managed to engage and destroy US ships, those being one Destroyer, one Battleship, one cruiser, and surprisingly an aircraft carrier full of brand new aircraft. Luckily for the Bloxotskan Navy, one of these carriers was captured.
Following the event, the US Navy would classify the Bloxtotskan Naval Forces as "Pirates", but would refrain from interfering in their activity for a while, letting Bloxtotska claim their victory of the "Mighty US".
GLORY TO BLOXTOTSKA!
