POLITICS | Sedunnic naval losses confirmed

SNS Levivv was lost in the Naval Battle for Karelins.

Niulandsheim/Grovne. The Sedunnic Minister of Defence Derrns Kappsaty has disclosed the Sedunnic losses in the Naval Battle for Karelins, several months after it was fought. The stealth corvette SNS Levivv was confirmed sunk, with only three survivors, and the sister ship, SNS Loennvem, was damaged with one crewmember killed. The standard crew complement of Flered-class corvettes is 43.

The ships were part of a high-risk mission to locate and destroy the RIM's aircraft carrier and cruiser to deprive the RIM of its ability to track vessels beyond the horizon, which was necessary in order for the rest of the allied forces to achieve a simultaneous barrage of anti-ship missiles from multiple directions and a relatively safe distance. This was achieved, and the RIM surface forces where overwhelmed. All 15 RIM surface ships present were destroyed. In Transsunerian media, the Frost Empire is speculated to have lost a significant number of multi-role fighters, citing anonymous sources within the Transsunerian military.

The government has been criticised for not disclosing this information earlier, like the losses during the land operations on Karelins. Kappsaty cites "operational security" as the reason why this information has not been released earlier. However, relatives of the deceased had been informed hours after the battle. It has not been decided if a new ship of the Flered-class shall be built to replace the Levivv.

The battle has been called one of the greatest Sedunnic naval victories ever.
