Notable Actions
HMS Ares has just recently been launched and finished her sea trial only a month ago, now commissioned, she waits for her first targets. The Ares has been successful as a small convoy hunter but after only a few victories of this kind, she was refitted to the a new class ship named after herself, Ares. She would now hunt with others of her kind in six ship battlegroups, hunting any kind of prey they could and in this the results were somewhat mixed. She held up well under fire but her smaller guns led to many defeats due to not inflicting enough damage on the enemy. However, she still maanaged to send several Spanish and French warships to the botton of the Carribbean with her sister ships. For now she is station at Port Royal and is in a state of uncertainty. Other, more pwerful ships and classes have come out and so for now she waits but just like her namesake Ares, God of War, she could be patient. Battles were always coming and no doubt she will be needed again.
