Ladies and gentlemen, gather around and witness the latest episode of our naval exploits in this great war for freedom and democracy! Today, the Portuguese navy made a fatal error by foolishly committing their entire fleet to defend Cadiz. Our valiant sailors and their mighty ships of the United States Navy showed no mercy as they unleashed a torrent of steel and fire upon the Portuguese fleet, sending them to the bottom of the sea to become nothing more than an artificial reef.
Let this be a lesson to all those who would dare challenge the might of the United States and our allies. We are the guardians of freedom, and we will stop at nothing to protect it. So join us as we continue to deliver swift justice to those who would oppose us, and let us celebrate the bravery and heroism of our sailors who fight for liberty and justice for all!

American Fleet Strikes at the Spanish Port of Cadiz
The Navy of the Kingdom of Portugal and the French destroyer Spahi scrambled to prevent an attack on the Spanish port of Cadiz. To meet the task force under the Lexington class battlecruisers USS Constitution and USS Ranger with the Liberation class USS Hamilton, four cruisers and two destroyers, the Portuguese sent the Chinese built battleships Hualong and Sarhuada as well as their destroyers Wougongli and Daxigou. The superior experience of the United States Navy showed as the US suffered only two sailors injured while all five Royal Entente ships before proceeding to inflict an estimated 183 thousand tons of dock capacity on the Spanish port. The navies of the Royal Entente lost over 3900 officers and ratings at sea and undetermined number of Spanish naval personnel on land.
With the loss of the Saphi from the Marine Nationale the government of the rump state of Western France immediately asked the United States for Peace. The Navy Department has recommended against signing a separate peace with France.

The Republic of Ireland Boxing Day Revolt

Experience is Just Better
The USS Sacramento, a 10” armed Detroit class heavy cruiser operating in the Irish Sea, met the HMS Cumberland, the lead ship of her 8.6” class.

But on her maiden voyage into combat, she bravely attacked the veteran of fifteen engagements.

I found it rather amusing that the devs announced in the 1.27 patch that they got rid of all major bugs and now focusing on adding stuff…
No major bugs left, yeah that's why I fought a vampire fleet in a refight battle. My ships were magically much more damaged than I left the last battle and the enemy ships had no longer damage at all
I though Portugal were allies? Apparently not
IRL the US passed 1 trillion dollar GDP in 1969 so yours is impressive
