This battle took place on 31 May 1677 between Femern and Warnemünde, north of modern-day Germany. The Danes had been blockading a Swedish squadron in Göteborg (Gothenburg), and each side had been sending fleets out regularly in the hope of a decisive victory at sea. The Swedish ships, under Sjøblad, left to return to the Baltic and met a larger Danish squadron under Niels Juel. The action started in the evening of the 31st and continued until the next morning. It was an almost complete Danish victory. Several Swedish ships were captured, most as they tried to flee, and one was run aground and burned. (references) |

| Section 31 |
Section 31 is the official designation of a covert secret police organization in the Star Trek fictional universe, within Starfleet Intelligence, which deals with threats to the security of Earth, and later the United Federation of Planets. Its operating authority stems from an oft-overlooked provision of the Starfleet charter — Article 14, Section 31, from which they derive their name — that makes allowances for bending the rules during times of extraordinary threats. While the original intent may have been to give Starfleet personnel some leeway when it comes to unusual or extreme circumstances, some Starfleet officials have taken it a step further in creating a standing organization able to respond to any threat, preemptively if need be. Section 31 might be compared to the Romulan Tal Shiar or Cardassian Obsidian Order, but operates much more clandestinely and effectively (and, unlike those organizations, does not interfere in the day-to-day lives of Federation citizens).
