British vs Danes
One hour later, just two kilometers off the coast of Copenhagen, the British Baltic Fleet spotted a Danish Fleet on the horizon, rapidly closing the distance.
"As expected, the Swedes have alerted the Danes," Parker stated, his tone resolute as he lowered his spyglass. "Prepare battle stations, everyone. This is a pivotal moment in our campaign. If we can defeat the Danes here, it will give us a chance to control the Baltic and block any potential Russian support to the French."
The crew swiftly responded to Parker's orders. The deck buzzed with focused activity as sailors manned cannons, secured rigging, and readied the ship for combat. Other ships of the British were manning battle stations as well, communicating to other ships through radiotelephony.
"Signal the fleet to form a battle line," Parker instructed, his voice carrying across the deck. "We'll engage them head-on and hit them with everything we've got."
