As rage built within me as i watched helplessly as the four ships take fire with the Mutsin suddenly making an enormous fireball as it exploded and the Benfold being disabled by multiple cruiser or battleship caliber shells hit the poor ship and the JMSDF wasn't scot free with the two destroyers taking fire as well one was set ablaze while the other one is trying to dodge and weave through the murderous fire of the unknown beings that are attacking us

[Naval District Yokosuka] - JMSDF RADM Goto Pov

As the morning goes everything was routine the Kanmusu as they call themselves were just doing their regular patrols since in today's modern world we have no place for them they suddenly appeared out of nowhere months ago starting with a small girl who she claimed to be the Light Aircraft Carrier Ryuujo and then she was followed by different ships the most notable ones are the four Kongou class battleships and the two super dreadnoughts Nagato and Mutsu a few weeks after the very appearance of the two super dreadnoughts came the Yamato sisters both Yamato herself and Musashi both of which just appeared out of no where and claimed to be the embodiment of Japans largest ever warship built and the worlds most powerful warships built in human history

In light of this occurrence the Kanmusu's were taken in as state secrets and assigned on places dubbed Naval districts there are currently two which play host to the Kanmusu personnel one was here at Yokosuka and one at Sasebo they are at by no chance allowed to leave the Naval district unless its at most importance or not unless needed to there were also the carriers there were the ever so fabled Carrier Division one with Akagi and Kaga and then CarDiv 2 of Soryu and Hiryu and then CarDiv five with Shokaku and Zuikaku which formed the front line Carrier Divisions for the Kanmusu personel with light carriers being assigned on Patrols on nearby waters if so and Taiho being not ready yet for frontline service and with Shinano and Amagi and a few others they mostly spent time in the Naval District as like attending classes for tactics and others but one of the most important classes they must all attend was History we took the hint as they claim to be the ships of the former Imperial Japanese Navy we took the advancement we have and explained to them our current modern world where the war ended in 1945 with allied victory and Japan's defeat as well as the current relationship of Japan and the United States as we know that the current close relationship the two countries have in today's world

Everything was normal but suddenly Ooyodo came from the comms room with orders from high command my gut feel was an immediate sortie as the "Absyssals" the girls call them made another appearance but this time the worse case scenario which they might have engaged a civilian vessel or another country's Naval vessel pretty much the United States as the 7th fleet was also stationed here in Yokosuka since the 7th fleet base is just across the Harbor

Ooyodo: Teitoku a order from high command!

RADM Goto: Well what is it Ooyodo?

Ooyodo: Teitoku an abyssal fleet is currently engaged in a battle with five ships at this very moment two Americans and two of our own with one of the American ships being sunk command say's the USS Barry has just been lost due to constant enemy fire! she reported

RADM Goto: Tell torpedo squadron 3 and DesDiv 6 to sortie at once along with Kongou and Hiei to sortie at once!

Ooyodo: Hai! Teitoku!

Soon the Kanmusu's deployed with with Kongou in the lead and Hiei trailing behind her and Tenryuu's kindergarten of destroyers Akatsuki, Hibiki, Ikazuchi, and Inazuma along with them was Fubuki, Mutsuki, Yuudachi, Sendai, Jintsuu, and Naka

Yuudachi: They said were gonna sortie cause we need to help the Americans poi.

Mutusuki: Well aren't we all friends with the Americans in today's culture? the little destroyer pipped in

Fubuki: I just hope they are nice.

Yuudachi: Yep! Poi i just hope they are nice people poi.

Sendai: I heard the Americans can night battle oooh i'm getting excited! she said over excitedly

Jintsuu: Nee-chan please calm down.

Naka: Idol of the fleet will saved the day!

(A/N: Not gonna lie the Sendai sisters in KC look like walking traffic cones due to their outfits XD)

Kongou: The Yanks aren't gonna stop me from getting my burning love from the teitoku!

Hiei: Yes Kongou-neesan! she cheered

Soon they were in sight of the battle what they saw was a shock for them they saw sailors on life boats or on life preservers one of two of the American ships sank with the third one making a hasty retreat back to Yokosuka and one both of the JMSDF ships following suit as receiving the order to retreat but what was left was the survivors from the American ships

[Life Boat: USS Barry] - Irene Pov

Deep inside me anger, hatred and despair was running high as i watch in muted horror and helplessly see that my fellow countrymen bleed along with our Japanese allies an hour within the battle with the Barry and Mustin sunk and the Benfold crippled and managing to limp back to port along with the two JMSDF ships and in their place was girls! of all girls that are floating or skating on water with miniaturized gun mounts i immediately surmised two of them are Battleships, four light cruisers, and seven destroyers by the looks of their equipment to save us and even more the four destroyers looks like little kids at the age of five or six or at least nine the other three were either on their early or mid teens as i watch in horror as the girls threw themselves into the fray of gunfire some of them even shrugging it off like it was nothing and then i saw one of the little destroyers get hit, it wasn't fatal but seeing a little girl or kid beaten like that makes my blood boil pass safety levels and inside something snapped and suddenly i fell into the water from the life boat one of my mates called out to me as he tried to catch me but he failed as i fell below the water something inside my head played, a very familiar tune a tune so well known within and outside of the Navy the ever so familiar tune of "Anchors Aweigh" as that happened different images started to flash on my mind

(A/N: Play this as you read its really suited as you continue on)

https://youtu.be/gj7nR73XXyc

The first image that flash on her head was a launching day of a warship and she immediately knew which ship it is judging just by the shape of its bow

As my bright blue eyes opened i was on the surface, i was wearing a summer white uniform with an impressive rack of ribbons on my left breast on my shoulders were a single gold star and four stripes rank of captain on my head was some two pieces of radar sets (AN/SPS-49 radar set and the  AN/SPS-67 search radar) on both of my sides were miniaturized nine 16 inch/50 Cal Mk-7 guns with one of the turrets has the American Flag on its roof and on the back of turret three i presume was my BGM-109 Tomahawks and  4 quad Mk-141 launchers for my AGM-84 Harpoons and two Phalanx CIWS the miniaturized versions of Naval weaponry that now completely adore my body

At first i was in shock on how i look even more so the other sailors that are looking at me and when i turned around there were two figures with me both are wearing the type-1 NWU their physical appearance is of early to mid teen their equipment is of an Arleigh Burke class destroyer with their VLS cell on their back their single 5 inch gun mount on a swivel side remote controlled mount and their CIWS on their shoulders with their 324mm Torpedo tubes on their hips, the first to react was me

Irene: Who are you?

???: You first but by the looks of it we already know you. she said with a grin

???: Hello Irene thanks for giving me a nice Salute back there but i wouldn't think that was needed. she chuckled

Irene: N-No way Barry!?

Barry: Correct, also meet my sister Mustin. she pointed at the other girl

Mustin: But like us, your ship spirit as well.

Barry: Yeah and add to that of the USS Iowa herself. she chuckled

Irene: H-How i was human?

Barry: No need to fret over that Iowa its time to kick some ass, and besides we got some company. she pointed at the small fleet of abyssals heading to them

Iowa: Alright then let show this punks, not to "Arouse the Sleeping giant". she said as her three main turrets are fed the information they need as they their elevations and loaded their 16 inch shells

As that happened both the smaller destroyers let out with their rapid fire 5 inch Mk-45 5 inch guns and their smaller versions of ASM's and their Mk-32 torpedo tubes being loaded 

Iowa: Alright girls lets send this weird fish throwers back to where the hell they came from!

Barry/Mustin: Right behind you! they said in unison

Both the sailors on the life boats and the Japanese Kanmusu where in shock as to what they are seeing as three American kanmusu suddenly appeared with one of them being a Battleship while the other two were the more modern destroyers even more so the Battleship itself is carrying more modern weapons

As that happened the battle went into full swing with the battleship charging into 2 Ne class and easily smashing them to pieces with her main guns while destroyers dealt with the Abyssal destroyers but were also launching their Missiles at heavier targets

As that happened the American Battleship neared a three Ne class and with each turret one was sent back to the abyss while her 5 inch guns on her waist just dealt with the I class destroyers and when the Abyssals sen her a wave of aircraft she just plucked them out of the sky with relative ease a couple minutes later the battle was over the Abyssal fleet was crushed with the help and sudden appearance of the three American Kanmusu soon the three made their way to the Japanese Kanmusu that were watching the Americans in disbelief and awe of their sheer prowess of tenacity when it came to fighting

Iowa: Hello girls. the blonde greeted

(A/N: I'm gonna be giving our Japanese friends here the ability to speak english just for the ease of plot and story ok)

Kongou: Hello Yank! the energetic fast battleship said

Hiei: Hello there thank you for assisting me and Kongou-neesama in the battle.

Iowa: No trouble there glad i could help, besides the US is currently Japan's greatest ally today.

Sendai: Wow that was so cool on how you crushed those abyssals!

Jintsuu: I am sorry about my sister. she said as she facepalmed

Naka: Wow with your look and your stats your perfect for being a fleet idol!

Jintsuu: I am sorry again about my sisters

Iowa: Nah its fine don't sweat it. she reassured

Kongou: By the way what are your names?

Iowa: My name is USS Iowa BB-61 lead ship of the Iowa class Fast Battleships with me is my friends girls introduce yourselves please.

Barry: USS Barry DDG-52 second ship of the Arleigh Burke class Destroyers. she said cheerfully

Mustin: USS Mustin DDG-89 39th ship of Arleigh Burke class flight IIA variant. she stoically said 

Hiei: Wait your both modern Kanmusu's?

Barry: A kan-what what?

Yuudachi: She means ship girl, its what we call ourselves here in Japan poi.

Fubuki: Yes indeed its nice to meet you Iowa-san, Barry-san, Mustin-san. she bowned

Mutsuki: Fubuki-chan is right thank you for helping us.

Mustin: Oh its nothing just doing our job.

Barry: Yeah don't sweat it.

Akatsuki: Wow American modern destroyers are very lady like i wonder how are the other American destroyers are like.

Hibiki: Khorosho.

Ikazuchi: Eh Hibiki-chan!

Inazuma: The Americans are really something nanodesu.

Tenryuu: Yeah your right about that.

Tenryuu couldn't help but smile at the little destroyers a little longer later a ship from Yokosuka came to pick the survivors up as the ship girls just skated alongside the destroyer that rescued the survivors out of the water

Iowa couldn't help but feel that this day is going to be a very long one indeed as she was thinking what would her friends and family back in the states would react to when they hear she was a ship girl

Coming up: Chapter-2

A/N: Whoop there you guys go chapter-1 of this new book hope you guys enjoy it :) if you wondering how our Iowa looks like then look no further to this picture below

Although she may still resemble the KC Iowa which is i took this fanart as inspiration seen on the chapter for her physical appearance and clothing and equipment for the Arleigh Burkes i just let my imagination do the job for me, also additional note our Iowa won't have the star spangled Irises but instead in its place was a lively blue iris for her eyes but yes other than that this'll what our Iowa would look like and in the future more and more natural born ship girls will join in the fun, also suggestions are open on the next natural born ship girl is open guys just comment them down below their criteria are any Warship of the 20th century from Battleships to the smallest which are destroyers since doing a PT boat is hard enough for my brain to process and that'll be all and i'll see you folks on the next one =)
