3rd Osean Naval Fleet

General Information
The 3rd Osean Naval Fleet is the biggest Osean national naval fleet of Osean Maritime Defense Force (OMDF) which had taken part of two infamous wars, the Belkan War and Circum-Pacific War. It is under directing of the Osean Pacific Ocean Fleet*. Its headquarter is established at Port St. Hewlett and it is generally operated over the Ceres Ocean range, where most of emerging tensions were taking place. One of the vessel among the fleet is OFS Kestrel which is the flagship of 3rd Naval Fleet. It is able to mobilize more than 400 combat aircrafts and almost 60,000 sailors and marine troops.

1995 - Belkan War
During the Belkan War outbreak, 3rd Naval Fleet had been involved in conflicts. On April 24th 1995, 3rd Fleet participated the Operation Costner, the battle of Offensive Campaign no. 4101. Under Ustio 6th Air Division backup, its flagship, Kestrel, successfully maneuvered through Futuro Canal while loosing some of its fleet vessels during the battle. The 3rd Fleet also headed to Osean Great Lakes to provide air support at this time.

2010 - Circum-Pacific War
The 3rd Fleet almost took part of the entire battles in Circum-Pacific War. During the war, it accommodated 206th Air Wing, "Sea Goblin" Helicopter Squadron, and later the Razgriz Air Command Squadron before the end of war.

Early, it was encountered with Yuktobanian Maritime Force surprise attack at its HQ in Port St. Hewlett where the fleet was stationed at that time. Air support was called and the fleet remained unharmed as it broke through open waters. Soon after that, all three saved aircraft carriers were planned to rendezvous to Eaglin Straits. Battle continued as the Yuktobania attempted to sink all carriers in this area. Kestrel, managed to escape from the danger, however other carriers, Buzzard and Vulture were destroyed by powerful burst missiles. Having difficult situation, Admiral Andersen decided to station at Kirwin Island for preparing the next mission. It also supported the reconnaissance mission to gather information of Belka's mining facility.

Its naval vessels gradually decreased and finally Kestrel was sunk by anti-warship cruise missile from an enemy submarine while encountering Yuktobanian Maritime Force on December 30th 2010.
