Port St. Hewlett is located at the western area of Osea.

Suddenly, on September 27 of 2010 at 12:05pm, as soon as Yuktobania declared war with Osea, Yuktobanian air and Maritime forces launched a surprise attack at Port St. Hewlett. While the Third Osean Naval Fleet was docked at the port, the Circum-Pacific War opened with the fleet under heavy attack while attempting to escape from the port. Wardog Squadron had just returned from engaging drones launched from a Yuktobanian Spy Vessel, managed to refuel and rearm at Sand Island Air Base when they were dispatched and ordered to cover all the vessels of the fleet, especially the Kestrel, flagship of Third Osean Naval Fleet. The battle was intense, the Wardog Squadron reformed it's ranks, putting Wardog Three as their Flight Leader. Wardog Squadron joined in the battle assisting a naval squadron launched from the Kestrel, lead by Captain Marcus Snow. During the battle in St. Hewlett, hospitals within St. Hewlett were flooded with wounded from Yuktobanian attacks which hit civilian buildings and, in one incident, CIWS Fire from the Osean 3rd Fleet hit multiple buildings located on the outside of the Port. After defending the fleet from waves of enemy fighters, the Wardog followed the Kestrel and it's surface ships into open water, outside of Port St. Hewlett. Even though the fleet sustained considerable damage from Air Forces and Yuktobanian Naval Forces attacking from Ceres Ocean, and loosing some of its ships, the Osean 3rd Fleet managed to escape Port St. Hewlett and still maintained is ability to be combat effective.
