Z2's New Life in the Norwegian Navy(A Azur Lane Fanfiction)(Discontinued)

Chapter 3

April 19, 1947

Portsmouth Port, Hampshire, Great Britain

We could see Thiele, Beitzen and Lody's ships with there crew waiting for Warspite, the shipgirl herself as she was not on her ship, with the ship's main guns and AA guns removed

And then after a few more minutes, Warspite started to appear and boarded on her ship, with Thiele and the others saluting her in honor, making Warspite smile

And from there the three shipgirls and there crew, along with the tugboats Bustler and Melinda III joining them to Faslane(These tugboats are not shipgirls and are controlled by humans), on the River Clyde

And as they travelled to Faslane Thiele started to think of a way to cheer Warspite up on her final moments before being scrapped

And so she asked Beitzen on her ships radio for advice, and from there Beitzen told her to sing a shanty as she got reports that there is a storm incoming

And so Thiele thinks of a shanty to sing and then she tells it to her sisters and they agreed to the song she choose and tell it to there crew

At Warspite's ship

We could see Warspite looking at the sea from the command room of her ship, until she heard her radio beeping as someone is trying to communicate with her, probably Thiele amd the two other shipgirls worried about her

And so she picked up the radio, and from there she heard a flute and guitar being played and Thieli started to sing with the two shipgirls singing with her along with there crew

Thiele: William Taylor was a brisk young sailor
Full of heart and full of play
Till his mind he did uncover
To a youthful lady gay

Beitzen: Four and twenty British sailors
Met him on the king's highway
As he went for to be married
Pressed he was and sent away

Thiele and Beitzen's crew: Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae
Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae!

Lody: Sailor's clothing she put on
And she went on board as a man-o-war
Her pretty little fingers long and slender
They were smeared with pitch and tar

And as Warspite heard this, she decided to join them at singing the shanty

Warspite: On the ship there was a battle
She amongst the rest did fight
The wind blew off her silver buttons
Breasts were bared all snowy white

Lody's Crew: Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae
Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae!

Warspite: When the captain did discover
He said Fair maid, what brought you here?
Sir, I'm seeking William Taylor.
Pressed he was by you last year.

Thiele: If you rise up in the morning.
Early at the break of day.
There you'll find young William Taylor
Walking with his lady gay.

Thiele's crew: Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae
Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae!

Beitzen: She rose early in the morning
Early at the break of day

Lody: There she spied young William Taylor
Walking with his lady gay

Warspite: She procured a pair of pistols
On the ground where she did stand

Thiele: There she shot bold William Taylor
And the lady at his right hand

All(including the crew): Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae
Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae!

And as they finished the shanty, Warspite chuckled as she had so much fun, and thanked the three destroyers along with there crew and wished if she was given a second chance to live amd fight again, she wanted them to be her personal escorts, to which the three destroyers were honored and will wait for that time to come

And they entered the storm, and managed to pass the storm without any problems(except for the tugboats leaving them since they might sink because of the storm)(I changed Warspite's fate in history here if your asking)

And as they docked Warspite's ship at Faslane, they left while waving at Warspite for one last time with Warspite waving back and smiling
