The next morning at the naval base was a great agitation. On the hallways, the maids' work was in full swing, making the girls from Eagle Union, who weren't used to such big preparations, really confused.

  "What the heck is happening?" Chicago asked looking around

  "I wish I knew," Nevada replied while sipping on a cup of coffee

While the girls were chatting, they saw Andy (a young man who King George appointed as the base's administrator) coming in their direction, being followed by Essex and Birmingham.

  "Good morning, girls!" He greeted them

  "Mornin'! What's happening here, dude? The president is coming to visit?" Nevada asked him

  "Britain does not have a president. It's a monarchy." Essex replied before Andy could say anything

  "Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us, smartass!" Nevada spoke visibly annoyed by Essex's statement

  "Actually, from what Her Majesty told me this morning, one of her sisters will take the charge of the base while she will return to London," Andy said

  "So we'll have a new leader," Birmingham spoke

  "And when this new leader will arrive?" Nevada asked

  "Later this day. Her name is Anson and she is in charge of the Scottish shoreline. I don't remember what rank she holds...I'm still not used to all this royal stuff..." the administrator complained

  "First admiral and Duke of Egypt," Essex spoke trying to help

  "Wasn't governor of Egypt?" Andy asked more confused than he already was

  "Eh...I dunno," the aircraft carrier muttered scratching the back of her head

  "Oh...one more thing. This afternoon Her Majesty requested everyone to be ready for the ships inspection" Andy added

  "But why today?" Nevada grumbled

  "Orders are orders," Essex said back

Around noon, King George V, Howe, Nelson, Swiftsure and other Royal Navy ships greeted Anson who just arrived at the docks.
The royal stepped out of her ship confidently, being followed by her knight and also best friend, Drake and her maid, Cheshire.

  "Welcome back!" KGV said, happy to see her sister

   "It's been a long time, Georgie..." she said in a teasing tone, knowing how much this nickname annoys King George

  "I missed you".

  "I missed you too, Anson"

They hugged really happy to see each other after a few months.

Then Howe came closer, hugging her sister too.

"My sweetheart...when did you grow this much?" the battleship spoke kissing her younger sister on the forehead

"Our Howe is not little anymore", KGV said proudly

"  Mind writing that down?" Howe asked George in a sarcastic tone
 
After talking a few more moments with KGV and Howe, Anson was greeted by Nelson,  Swiftsure and the other royal Navy's ships who were at the docks.

    "Lets' return to the base. I have a lot to show you and I don't even know where to start " King George told her sister

    "Do you?" Anson asked back with a grin on her face
