PRESS(Danish)

The Danish nation was shocked last spring to learn that one of its fleets had succeeded in an action. This almost unprecedented event has sparked demonstrations in the street, outrage in the press and anger in the corridors of power. It is rumoured that the king is even considering sacking the chief of naval staff over the affair, and there are reports that the admiral in charge of the fleet that mades it way from Copenhagen to the disputed province of Holstein has telegraphed his resignation.
A senior member of the government, speaking on condition of anonymity, had this to say: 'This is a a day of great shame for us. Something is indeed rotten in the state of Denmark when our navy can take it upon itself to not only sail out of port but fail to return in that same season. Further actions of this sort cannot be tolerated. We cannot let the millions of krone and the decades spent on creating the most incompetent military in Europe be wasted in this cavalier fashion. A failure to fail on this magnitude is breathtaking.'
