Hornet Cabin

The Hornets are currently meeting with Wales, Elizabeth, Soryuu and New Jersey. "Ok, yesterday, I received instructions for us, after this mission, to head towards Rabaul," Hornet said. "Okay, but, when are we going to attack Miss Hornet?" Wales asked. "The commander said, we can attack, if, the B-25 Mitchell, can reach Rabaul. That's all he ordered, "said Hornet. "Are you serious Hornet?" Enterprise intervention. "Yes, that's right, if you follow our position, my plane, can reach Rabaul, just, New Jersey, have you reached the south gate of IBS?" Hornet asked.

"Maybe, tomorrow, we'll be at the location, which we discussed," New Jersey said. "Ok, in that case, we will attack Iron Bottom Sound at 0840, local time. Make sure everyone is ready. Tonight, I will call the commander, about this operation, I hope we win this battle," said Hornet. Then, they all ended the meeting call.

"Sister, do you think we will win?" Hornet asked her sister. "It's better if Yorktown is here," Hornet complained again. "Hornet, I think we will win. I think, commander, is close to Solomon. Because, if he said that Rabaul had an airport, he must have been there for a long time, right?" said Enterprise. Then, Hornet hologram transmitter glows.

"Hello Hornet," Nimitz said. "Oh, commander. Where are you now?" Hornet asked. "I have just arrived in Rabaul. After this war, ask them to gather in Rabaul, to rest," said Nimitz. "Fine, commander, but, I want to ask, if you're here, who's in Homeport?" Hornet asked. "Lieutenant Commander Danny McClusky is in Homeport. He is an officer who is still in training, and I have a camtraker stationed, to prevent any sexual assault on any girl in Homeport, after all, if he dares to do strange things, I have asked Bismarck to use her power as Commander in charge. power, to hold him back," Nimitz said. "After all, he has no key to access my dorm and office. He only has the keys to my second office, the dining hall, and his bedroom, any purchase will pass me first, and Bismarck has given a stern warning not to disturb any of the girls there," Nimitz added.

"When do you want to come here? We have a plan to attack IBS," said Hornet. "Tomorrow, exactly 0700, I will leave Rabaul, and head to IBS," said Nimitz. "Ok, good sir, see you later," replied Hornet. "Ready to move Hornet. Signal the fleet, that tomorrow, let it be an elegant victory," said Nimitz, then he stopped the radio call.
