A Continental Navy Squardron consisting of Admiral Amanda, Admiral Xi, Commander Andro, Commander Bethany, Lieutenant Jack intercepted a pirate fleet made up of Captain Otho the Shiny, Captain Pabo the Barkeep, Captain KazkazKaz, Captain Shorty the Not so Tall, and Captain Bill LeBrave. The navy won a very close battle, with Lt. Jack sinking Shiny to confirm the win. Lt. Jack was awarded the Navy Silver Star for his actions. Here is an excerpt from his commendation: "Two navy ships were left in the battle against two pirate ships. Admiral Amanda was north of Nassau battling the Dread Pirate Shorty the Not so Tall. Lieutenant Jack was south of Nassau alone against Otho the Shiny. Admiral Amanda with Gunner Randy defeated Shorty but was badly damaged and only able to sail slowly. Lieutenant Jack had to face Shiny alone. The two ships charged each other like knights jousting in a tournament. As the ships passed and the cannons roared smoke obscured the battle. When the smoke cleared, Lieutenant Jack's ships was the only one still afloat. Admiral Amanda arrived but Lieutenant Jack had already won the battle. She threw him a line and towed him back to safe harbor." Sketches by Fleur
