Today at around 12:00 pm UEST, ISAF launched a Pearl Harbor style raid on the Erusian naval forces anchored at Comberth harbor, crippling what was to be an invasion force to take over North Point.
Known as "OPERATION ROUGH SEAS" this attack brought an end to all Erusian plans against ISAF and was targeted at oil storages, dockyard facilities as well as warehouses, dry docks and other key targets in and around the Comberth harbor area.
"We had to put a stop to their plans, it was a do or die situation," commented one of the pilot of Mobius squadron during a interview with reporters shortly after returning from his mission.

"Our families, friends and our nation were being threatened and we had to do something to protect them. We are not sorry for the job that had to be done today." It is not known at this time exactly how many casualties or injuries there were today at Comberth harbor, but from other reports there is indication of at least 1,000 naval and marine personnel killed, and at least 850 seriously injured, including many workers and civilians. The Erusian naval and air Forces also suffered heavy losses as they were there trying to protect their "invincible fleet" from being wiped out.
Mobius squadron itself lost ten aircraft and their pilots but still managed to gain the upper hand in the fight.

Commander Fred Allen of Southern Seas Command, said that not only did this attack put an end to the invasion of North Point, but that it also put a stop to the naval activity in and around the Fort Grey Islands.
"The Aegir fleet was a constant threat to our civilians population and our forces in that region. Now that it's gone, or at least crippled, we can rest a little easy in the days to come."
After over an hour and half of fierce battle it was all over. Ships were either sunk, sinking or seriously damaged, major military stockpiles and other vital supplies were destroyed. Whatever will be said in years to come or written in future history books, November 21st was one of ISAF’s finest hours.
