The Battle of the Persian Gulf was the only battle fought during the German-Tamil Conflict. In late 2011, the Grossdeutsches Reich deployed numerous battleships and two aircraft carriers in order to intercept a Tamil fleet that was intending to stage a naval invasion. Shortly before the battle, the Tamil Islands had made a secret alliance with the nation of Serbia, whose government had sent a secret naval force to assist the Tamil Islands during the impending invasion. The German forces attempted to intercept the invading Tamil ships, which were travelling through the Persian Gulf off the coast of Spain.

The travelling German forces were lured to confront the Tamil Fleet, when unbeknownst to them, the large pack of Serbian submarines began attacking them with torpedo fire. The Germans quickly realized they were overwhelmed and were fooled into a nonstrategic position. 22 of the 90 German aircraft had already taken-off to attack the Tamil fleet before they realized the severity of the unknown attacks. The German aircraft carriers were quickly set ablaze before most of the aircraft took-off. The German forces quickly withdrew from the battle as the Serbian submarines continued to harass them with torpedo fire. The Tamil forces were able to sustain all defenses against the incoming aircraft attacks and were able to destroy numerous planes in the sky during the process. The remaining German aircraft in the air were forced to flee to their bases in Spain. No casualties among the Tamil or Serbian forces were reported.
