- "Attention, all vessels. The only thing that exists between Yuktobania and Osea is hatred."
- ― Yuktobanian Fleet Commander
Operation: Glory Horn, also known as the Battle of the Ceres Ocean, was one of the final battles of the Circum-Pacific War, and the penultimate battle of the OFS Kestrel.
Prelude
On December 29, 2010, a large force of Yuktobanian Navy ships sailed toward the 3rd Osean Naval Fleet in the Ceres Ocean. Captain Andersen and Yuktobanian Prime Minister Nikanor,both on board the OFS Kestrel,called out to the Yuktobanian Fleet.The Prime Minister announced that he was on the Osean aircraft carrier Kestrel and that he planned to restore peace between "our Yuktobania and the country of Osea."
The Yuktobanian Fleet Commander don't peace between the two countries, said that Nikanor had sided with the Osean Federation,and ordered his ships to destroy the carrier even with the Prime Minister on board. The captain of the Krivak-class frigate Pitomnik don't agreed with the orders and asked the Fleet Commander to stand down. In response, the Fleet Commander ordered his ships to sink the Pitomnik, and two swiftly did so. The captain of the Sovremenny-class destroyer Gumrak cannot follow a "fleet commander willing to sink one of his own ships" and defected to the Osean battle group with two destroyers Chuda and Dub.
Battle
Captain Andersen recognized the Yuktobanian defectors and offered them his gratitude. He ordered the Kestrel Fleet to engage the enemy Yuktobanian ships and the Razgriz Air Command Squadron to launch for support. The ships and fighters began to attack the Yuktobanian ships. Some Yuke fighters were also launched to engage the Kestrel's fighters, but they were all afraid of the Razgriz.
About halfway through the battle, a Osean battle group detected upon the battle. After listening in for a moment, OFS Barbett's captain believed that OFS Kestrel battle group had betrayed Osea and sided with the Yukes, and recognized the Kestrel Fleet and the Razgriz Squadron as traitors.The small Osean battle group enter firing range at OFS Kestrel battle group and three defector ships.Some Osean fighters also launched and engaged the Razgriz, but both the Yuktobanian and Osean forces were knock out.
Result
After this battle, the Kestrel and the 3rd Osean Naval Fleet officially out from the Osean Navy and, with the Yuktobanian defector ships, set up a completely separate force. Their only goal was to defeat Belka and prevent their plans from succeeding.
Sometime during or after the battle, Prime Minister Nikanor escaped the Kestrel, most likely on a helicopter, to join Osean President Vincent Harling at Bright Hill, Osea for a call for peace.
