Chapter 5
Earth- Atlantic Ocean
The sea was calm. There was nothing to be seen, only the sound of the waves crashing to the mighty ship that is currently at the vast Atlantic Ocean.
HWMS Redemption- a battleship that was commissioned in the late 1930's to counter the Germans pocket battleships. It played a massive role in the battle on the Atlantic in the defence of British convoys, Participated in D-Day by helping to bombard Gold beach, And Engaged in the late battle against the Imperial Japanese in the Pacific theatre.
It serves the Webïrúian Navy well up to 1967 where it was Decommissioned and was turned into a museum piece. But eventually the ship would see action again when the Navy decided to retrofit the Battleship for modern warfare.
The old 40mm Octuple-cannons was removed altogether, the 20mm guns was removed and was replaced by a new electronic design and the Duel-purpose 5inch guns, then was replaced by OTO Melara 76 mm Navel gun and the Phalanx CIWS. The D turret was removed in favour of a missiles launchers and more CIWS system. The 15inch Main gun also went some modernisation as it now doesn't require a massive crew to operate the cannons. Instead it was all done mechanically as it was redesigned as a auto-loader, reducing the reload rate of one round every 40 seconds to under 5 seconds, (Or 12 rounds a minute).
This redesign was completely just in time to participate in the gulf war, Where it supported The coalition landings in Kuwait.
Currently the ship is investigating the last know location of the Albin. The disappearance of the Albin was an economic and moral blow to the Webïrúian Navy and her nation. It was the first of it's class a can not be replaced by anything else for a very long time.
Captain Andie Müller is determined to find the missing Carrier. Even after explaining to navel high command of the incident, they still believed was sunk. It a possible explanation but But deep in Andie heart he know it not true.
Outside on the tall mast of the ship, a young office was searching the vast ocean with his binoculars, trying to see anything that looks like the missing carrier. But as he suddenly saw something out of the ordinary.
Officer: CIC, Be advised, I've I'm seeing multiple large vessels, northeast of our position.
CIC officer: Negative, We've got nothing on our radar.
Then one of the CIC crew then ran up the operator.
Radar operator: Sir, we've got multiple blips on radar. Four vessels heading towards us.
CIC Officer: What!?
Radar operator 2: Sir! Vessels launched multiple aircraft at our ship. Should we....
Then an explosion rocked the whole ship.
Back in the bridge, the Captain hastily woke up to the static noises from his headphones, he was still affected by concussion which affected his sight and he's ears ring as loud as it could. All he could see was just blurry silhouette as it got closer, the person then took off Müller's Headphones.
???: "Captain... Captain... CAPTAIN!"
Müller hear the angry but desperate voice calling him and look towards the person who shouted at him, it was Midshipman. John Williams.
Williams: Captain! We're under attack!
Audie saw multiple dead and wounded men in the bridge as another explosion occurred and that was when the Captain hastily got up only to find that the Bridge is a mess. Müller then rushes to the window only to see a massive ship shooting at them. With their large calibre guns and he could also see some aircraft approaching them.
Audie's thoughts: That the hell is that....
Müller could also see that his ship was has sustain some damaged from that last attack.
Warrant officer: Captain. What's you're orders sir!
Müller: Williams! send a distress call to all nearby ship, [Müller turns to the Warrant officer], Tell CIC to focus fire of those ships! And interceptors aircrafts immediately! I don't want any the ship to be carpet bombed by enemy aircraft!
Warrant officer: Copy!
As the order was called in the RIM-7 Sea Sparrow send out a volley of missiles at the target and the Newly installed SE-50 CIWS that replaced the old Phalanx CIWS came into play.
*BBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!!*
The Sound of the CIWS firing a high Calibre of 50mm at a high rate of fire in 2200 rounds a minute. The four tri-barrel gun swiftly turned the incoming aircraft into Swiss cheese with its AHEAD ammunition.
Müller: Pilot! Take us back home!
the Helmsman gave a quick nod and manoeuvre the battleship to the direction of their base. Soon CIC pin point the location of the enemy ships and open fire with their navel cannon and Anti- ship missiles.
Meanwhile in another ocean
Z23: Ayanami
Ayanami: Z23...
Z23: We have a new mission... Ve'll be heading out soon.
Ayanami: Another battle to fight?
Z23: Yes, An enemy fleet has been spotted quite a few distance from their base but are making their way back. We'll strike them before they could reach their base.
Ayanami: The enemy... It not like I'm against fighting but I don't like it.
Z23: Fuck off! Now you're being selfish all of a sudden.
Ayanami: Then tell me... Do you like to fight?
Z23: Well, what I like is not relevant on this point of time. It our Duty... no... Our Purpose to fight. We are Warship, We're born to fight.
Ayanami: And yet I still don't understand...
Azur lane base
Javelin: I wonder how she's doing....
Laffey: You mean that Ayanami girl?
Javelin: Ayanami.... Why do we have to fight her?
Suddenly both Javelin and Laffey spotted a lone Bald Eagle which landed on a dead tree
Laffey: Isn't that...
Enterprise then walked up the walk way only to be seen by Laffey and Javelin, then she notices them as well.
Javelin: [waving at enterprise] Hello there Enterprise!
Enterprise walked up to Javelin's and Laffey's picnic spot
Javelin: ehh... do you like a bite of my sandwich?
Enterprise: No, but thank you.
Laffey: Enterprise... Are you hurt?
Enterprise: [smiled] So you could tell. it seem my healing slowed down quiet a bit lately.
Javelin: [shocked] Huh?! Then Why aren't you resting?
Enterprise: All emergency repair has been complete, there's nothing to worry about.
Javelin's thought: Enterprise is one of the strongest ship Azur lane could offer. That could possibly explain her stubbornness.
Javelin: But Enterprise, why do you have to push yourself so far?
Enterprise looked at Javelin with a serious but yet it remained stoic.
Enterprise: That's a strange question. But I never analyse how much I fight.... Or why. It my purpose to fight after all.
Laffey: Laffey doesn't like mean people picking on Laffey friends. But when Laffey's hate work when Laffey's sleepy.
Javelin: Laffey just go to sleep!
Laffey: But when I see my friend get bullied by mean people. Laffey will fight even harder.
Enterprise listen to Laffey works and let it sink into her mind.
Menwhile
Albin walked to the Naval academy to meet up with Illustrious and Wales to discuses his current situation.
Wales: so you're say your from the another world but from the future?
Albin: Yeah that seems to be the case.
Illustrious: Albin I have a question.
Albin: Yeah?
Illustrious: How did you meet Enterprise? you two seems to know each other.
Albin: Oh I found her getting attack by some Siren ships while I was try to establish contact. Basically She's the first person I met and trust.
Wales and illustrious face was filed with surprise
Wales: Oh... I see. No wonder she looks a bit messy when she arrived.
Then Albin's radio then crack to life
Albin: Excuses me for a minute.
Albin exited the room and took out his radio.
Albin: Head Hunter here. please tell me it a good news.
Stinger 0-4: Sir, We've spotted an enemy fleet south-west of your position now.
Albin: Are they the retreating ships?
Stinger 0-4: No sir, Two new carriers, no escort.
Albin: Roger I'll be on my way.
Albin puts his radio back into his pouch on his tactical vest.
Albin: let's pay a social call...
