For decades, especially after the Boi War ended, the Imperial Fleet found it very difficult, in fact impossible, to approach the West Continent undetected.
However, the Empire Navy definitely wouldn't adopt such a "barbaric" approach.
Against the Newland Navy, this method might not even work.
The main issue is that the East Ocean is too vast, with an area equivalent to half of Earth!
Moreover, the Newland Navy has half of its ships deployed on the Sunset Ocean, and the North Sunset Ocean is not that spacious, being tens of thousands of miles from the Empire's homeland.
According to estimates by the Empire Navy, if they were to use the tracking tactics associated with the West Continent group, they would need at least 300 spy ships.
The key is that they would all need to have long-distance navigation capabilities, at least reaching the level of ocean-going fishing vessels.
