Thus, the Molossian Naval Forces of New Antrim (The Atlantic Fleet) set out to repel the Mustachistani threat on Lake Jean. Mustachistani elements had moved to establish themselves on the lake, and Grand Admiral Hess immediately launched his fleet to repel the threat. The Atlantic Fleet consisted of two vessels, the Canoe-class MS-3 ''Boomer'' and the Kayak-class MS-4 ''Old Towne'', both vessels in excellent fighting trim and manned by three very able sailors. The ''Boomer'' served as the fleet flagship. The Mustachistanis launched two vessels in response, two Kayak-class boats, the ''Dagger'' and the ''Corsica''.

Shortly after launching, the ''Boomer'', commanded by Grand Admiral Hess, landed on Middle Island in Lake Jean, before the Mustachistanis were even in the water. The ''Old Towne'', the other vessel, commanded by Grand Admiral Hess' brother, harried the Mustachistanis across the lake. Grand Admiral Hess stepped heroically onto Middle Island with the ''Boomer's'' XO and proceeded to help the ''Old Towne'' make landfall.

Grand Admiral Hess set sail in the ''Old Towne'', allowing his XO to command the ''Boomer'' with his brother. This proved to be a near-disaster for the Atlantic Fleet. Due to the incompetence of the XO, the ''Boomer'' had some trouble getting off the shore of Middle Island. As a result, the two Mustachistani sailors in their vessels caught up to Grand Admiral Hess, alone in the ''Old Towne'', and a heated battle broke out between the three ships. At two against one, they were firing broadsides upon Grand Admiral Hess' vessel, and eventually succeeded in flipping him over with their oars. Grand Admiral Hess' years of naval training and coolness under fire served him well in this catastrophe. In spite of the cold water, he was able to stay above water by grasping onto his overturned kayak and waited in the deep water for the ''Boomer'' to come pick him up.
