I Once Fought An Alien... A USS Missouri Story

Chapter 6: Ship Tours

At USS Missouri,

Missouri was taking Prince Of Wales, Enterprise, Illustrious, and the other shipgirls on a tour around his ship.

Cleveland: What kind of armaments you have Missouri?

Illustrious: We are curious.

Missouri: I have 9 Main guns, which is the main turrets of my ship. Oh and my turrets are 16 in 50 caliber guns.

Missouri: My secondary turrets are 5 inch 38 caliber guns.

Javelin: What are these tube things that are attached here?

Missouri: Oh, that. Those are BGM-109 Tomahawk Missiles.

Wales: Missiles?

Missouri: I also have RGM-84 Harpoon Missiles. If you are asking for more. Why?

Wales:  Missiles are Iron Blood technology.

Missouri: Oh that's because they're part of the modernization retrofit. Back then, I have old guns and secondary turrets, but since ours is a modernizing world, we have been sent to modernization.

Wales: I see.

Cleveland: So what  about these round-things with guns?

Missouri: That's CIWS, or Phalanx CIWS. Which means Close-In Weapons System. These replaced the traditional AA guns. Although some of them are part as artifacts in my ship as well as the others.

Cleveland: How fast does it shoot?

Missouri: About... 4,500 rounds per minute. I'm not sure.

Javeline: That's even faster than our AAs.

Missouri: That's what modernization is.

Just then, two foxes came out running to Missouri.

Missouri: Asako! Nisyano! How's your rest?

The foxes yip 'cheerfully' as Missouri rub their fur and their necks.

Missouri: At least you two are alright earlier.

Enterprise: You like foxes?

Missouri: Don't misunderstood Akagi and Kaga being Kitsunes. These foxes are the true species of thee fox family. 

Unicorn: Is that Asako?

Missouri: Yeah.

Asako was the fox with brown, orange, and red fur to which the fox also looks like Akagi's colors. Nisyano was a grey and orange fox, she's the type of fox to be energetic unlike Asako.

Unicorn: Thank you Asako for saving me back then.

Asako yips happily going to Unicorn and asking for her to rub her neck. Unicorn smiles as she rubs Asako's furry neck.

Illustrious: I didn't know you have foxes as pets.

Missouri: Me too. Same as Illinois. 

Enterprise: What do you mean?

Missouri: Me and Illinois got these foxes back at the time when we arrive here, our admirals seemed to give them to us as a gift.

Enterprise: I see.

Missouri: You can check out Illinois, he is more powerful on firepower.
