Apperantly the Germans are not the only cowards around, or maybe the Japanese learned their lesson. Either way a very powerful Japanese Fleet, consisting of 2 battleships and 6 cruisers, raiding of the coast of Alaska was driven of in shame by a Swiss force of only a single light cruiser and three small destroyers. One wonders what they will do when the Swiss Main Fleet arrives. Probably scuttle their ship like the captain of Thetis did.

I wonder if 'driven off' is accurate... perhaps it should be said that the Japanese snickered at ineffectual NS resistance after finishing their mission or raiding the coast of Alaska?

Wonder what the actual battle report will say.

Why risk getting caught in a torpedo trap when you live to set your own.

Glorious Victory! God favors the just, and in a David vs Goliath battle, he has delivered victory! In a night battle of Anchorage, a very Japanese/German contingent, composed of no less than 'Mighty' Scharnhorts itself, the powerful armored cruiser Friedrich Karl, and no less than three Japanese cruiser, was defeated and repulsed with heavily losses by a Swiss squadron, made up of only the old coastal battleship Alaska , and three small destroyers. For the loss of only one destroyer the mighty Swiss Navy sent the armored cruiser Friedrich Karl, and the smaller Kasagi   to the deep. Meanwhile the old Alaska fought the World's best battlecruiser to a draw. The enemy was last seen running with their tails between their legs...

All hail the might Swiss Naval Air Force! The Zeppelin LZ-13 under the command of Captain Mathy, struck the 'Mighty' Scharnhorts and left the great ship in flames!

Force "Ice" reports victory in Alaska as the Swiss battleship of the same name is fit only to grow barnacles following the successful mission of the force in the waters of the Great White North. Swiss merchantmen cower in port screaming for escorts the Swiss Navy no longer has...

The Kreigsmarine confirms that the battlecruiser Scharnhorst has suffered damage in a Swiss Zeppelin attack, however notes that the inflicted harm is merely cosmetic and that the Zeppelin was seen to be smoking and losing altitude as it departed the scene of its dastardly crime.

Perhaps I should follow the lead of the French, and paint all my ships black?  :D

I gotta admit, watching a zeppelin crash into a battlecruiser would be pretty frickin' cool.  Any chance another of those ubiquitous Swiss movie crews happened to be nearby?

Incidently - it'd be nice to see the battle report...

Don't give me ideas Rocky, I've tought of it...

Here's the Battle report:
QuoteJune 18 - Swiss airship drops several shells on Scharnhorst causing minor damage and a fire to break out.  The fire causes an increadible amount of damage to the ship's upper works before it is put out.  With so much of the ship scorched the Brandenburg vessel should make for home.  Quickfire guns from the Japanese and Brandenburg ships damage the airship as it is leaving.

It would mean massive and spectacular destruction; of course I'm going to give you the idea.

In later decades, the scene could be iconic in the Swiss movie industry:

1)  The action crowd can watch some unkempt Swiss policeman yelling "Yippe-kay-yay, Motherf****rs!" as he jumps clear of the exploding airship/battlecruiser combination.

2)  The anti-war satirists can, instead, watch a cowboy ride the airship down onto the battlecruiser as if it were a bull.

3)  The independent cinema crowd can watch the doomed captain and engineer of the airship struggle to admit their feelings for each other, while a few confused teenagers in the back row of the theatre ask each other, "WTF?  Didn't we buy tickets for Die Hard:  With An Airship?"
