HMCS Yellowknife is a Canada class battleship built for the Maple Monarchy. Transferred to a new Azur lane base, he is inexperienced and untested. Follow him in his adventures, trials, and triumphs with HMS Repulse, USS Laffey, and USS Oklahoma.
Yellowknife wakes up, his alarm beeping in his ear. Leaving it going to wake Laffey, he climbs out of bed and puts his clothes on. *Today's the day, I'm finally joining a fleet.* He thinks, the rush of excitement clearing his groggy mind. Finally, Laffey stirs. "Mmm, loud noise... Too loud," She complains, pulling her pillow over her head. Yellowknife chuckles at the display. "Come on sleepy, time to wake up. We've got a big day ahead of us." Yellowknife says, turning off the alarm. Laffey sits up. "Fine, but only because I have too." She pouts crossing her arms. Yellowknife nods, before opening the door. "I'll wait outside while you get changed." He states, closing the door behind him.
Standing in the hall, Yellowknife sees Hamman exit her room. "You agian!? What are you doing upat this hour?" She angrily huffs. Yellowknife sighs. *Great, now I have to deal with this.* He thinks before answering Hamnan. "Well, I happened to be assigned to the same fleet as you, so we have to get up at the same time." Yellowknife explains, already tired of dealing with her. Hamman grows furious. "What!? Why would Wales put me in a fleet with you!?" She angrily shouts. "Could you please keep it down? You're gonna wake everyone up and make a scene." Yellowknife asks, not wanting a repeat of yesterday morning. Hamman grumbles, but she also doesn't want that, so she lowers her voice. "F-fine, but don't you think that I'm listening to your demands because your nice to me! It's because I don't want to wake anyone up." She replies, as Yellowknife rolls his eyes. Before anything else can happen, Laffey exits the room. "Okay, let's go Yello- Oh hi Hamman." She says greeting the still fuming destroyer. Since they have the same destination, the trio walk together.
~~~~~~A Few Minutes Later~~~~~~
After a silent, uneventful walk, the group reaches the docks. The weather is favorable, with a warm breeze cutting across the calm sea. Yellowknife recognizes Prince of Wales standing among three other ships. *Those two look quite similar, they must be Renown and Repulse. That other girl must be Atlanta.* Yellowknife observes as he approaches them. "Good morning, it seems like everyone is here, and on time." Prince of Wales says cheerfully. "Alright everyone, this is Yellowknife, he is the newest addition to our forces, he and Laffey will be joining your fleet. Ladies, please introduce yourselves." Prince of asks as the others step forwards. "I'm Hamnan, stay outta my way, okay?" Says the pouty little destroyer. "My name is USS Atlanta, I am the lead ship of the Atlanta class light cruisers. It is a pleasure to meet you." Says the small shipgirl in front of him. "I am HMS Renown, lead of my class, and flagship of strike fleet fifteen." She says coldly. Then her sister steps forward. "Good morning! I am HMS Repulse, Renown's little sister. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!" She says cheerfully. *A lot easier to approach than your sister, that's for sure.* Yellowknife thinks before Prince of Wales grabs their attention. "Gather round as this is important. Together you will form strike fleet fifteen, your job will be to use your speed to strike an enemy's flank. Here is how you will operate." Wales says, showing them several diagrams. "While under way and out of combat, the fleet will be positioned like so." She explains, pointing to the first diagram.
