Battle of Zarkan Bay

"The Westlandians are launching a fleet in order to land forces right on our capital's doorstep, we must put to sea and face them, I know this battle will be difficult and positively deadly, but we must fight and die for freedom! We must fight will all our might so our loved ones may live free! I know you will give it your all, but we must win this battle! You are Zarkanians, every one of you, the sea, that beautiful, yet cruel, mistress is in your blood, as is your fighting ability, Long live the Zarkan Kingdom!"

- Edward Hunley giving a speech to his crew before the battle

The Battle of Zarkan Bay was a naval battle conducted in the middle of Zarkan Bay by the Royal Zarkanian Navy and the Westlandian Navy during the Zarkan-Westland War, the battle occured because Westland tried to break the stalemate on the Zarkanian-Westlandian border by sending an invasion fleet to land forces right outside Zarkan City, the Zarkanian capital.

As a result of the battle a large portion of the Westlandian Navy was defeated and the Zarkan Kingdom took the offensive, the Royal Zarkanian Navy later landed forces on the southern coast of the Kingdom of Westland, and marched on the capital, Westlandia, Westland was defeated and became the Zarkan Empire's first colony.

For his actions in the battle Edward Hunley became a Zarkanian hero, he was still remembered as a hero nearly 1000 years laters, the Confederate States of Earth, of which the Zarkan Kingdom was a founding member, had a Providence-class carrier/destroyer called Hunley, in honour of Edward Hunley, the Hunley was even captained by Frederick Hunley, one of Edward Hunley's distant descendants.
