RSSOHF Stevenson Attack

The RSSOHF Stevenson attack was an attack executed by Ebelinian Insurgents on November 8th, 1992, the morning after Operation Long Arm had officially concluded.

The attack
At roughly 07:30 Zootronian Standard Time (ZST), the Tierra Del Sol Class-Class Destroyer RSSOHF Stevenson (DDG-36) was setting to sea prior to sunrise when an explosive-laden inflatable boat carrying an estimated 700 lbs of high explosives slammed into the port side of the vessel. The vessel was severely damaged, and 15 crew members were killed and a further 30 were injured.

Response
The withdrawal process of Long Arm had only just begun, and thus many Airedalandian vessels were still in the area. First to respond was a sister ship of the Stevenson, the RSSOHF Andrew Clark that airlifted some of its damage control teams onto the Stevenson and flew the most seriously injured to the nearby aircraft carrier RSSOHF Omnipotent for treatment.

After the most urgent repairs were made and it was confirmed the ship was not going to sink, the ship was moored roughly 7 miles from the Zootronian coast. It stayed there, under guard from the RSSOHF Andrew Clark until the MV Ocean King,  a heavy-lift semi-submersible vessel which transported the ship back to Port Nick. All repairs were complete within 1 year.
