The coast was filled with debris, and somehow it ended up becoming an obstacle for the larger Bharatiya ships to get closer to the shore. Granted, most of the debris, thanks to the tides were dispersing at a very fast speed, but the battleships still could not advance for at least a few hours.
Thankfully, in the end it did not matter, since what separated from the fleet and came forward was not a battle group composed of a battleship, but small and medium-sized full metal frigates and clippers. These ships, powered by a single 3rd generation turbine and 3-speed transmission, weaved and slid around with dexterity and flexibility that was never seen on ships of their size.
Erik Debrosio, a military commander of the European Union, had a sombre expression as he witnessed the arrival of the Bharatiya warships.
