MV Bulolo, a former armed merchant cruiser now cruise ship, is on her last voyage in 1968 to Taiwan for her fate with the shipbreakers. However, fate itself has other plans for the formerly great Australian ship as she is sunk in a storm prior to he...
Zuikaku stared at the newcomer, then a figure wearing a maid outfit arrived. This caught Zuikaku's attention to the figure in front of her. Her sister Shoukaku was more worried about her little sister, bringing down two of the F6F Hellcats.
Shoukaku: Zuikaku! (lands next to Zuikaku) Are you hurt?
Zuikaku: A maid? Is this some kind of joke?
Prinz Eugen: I assure you it is not. This is Belfast, the second ship of the Edinburgh-class of light cruisers from Royal Navy. Und despite her looks, she's still quite a legendary warrior of the seas. Do not underestimate her.
Kormoran: HMS Belfast? Town-class light cruisers?
Belfast: Thank you, Prinz Eugen of Iron Blood. Always a pleasure to cross paths with you, though I did not expect the two of us to be meeting on this journey. And it seems someone has done their research.
Prinz Eugen: Neither did I but since we are both here, it would be good to settle grudges away from Iron Blood and Royal Navy.
Kormoran: Und was ist mit diesen Haidingern? (And what's with those shark things?)
Bulolo: English?
Kormoran: I said "what are those shark things?"
Bulolo: Rigging. The Iron Blood, this word's Germany, have rigging with Siren technology, giving a shark motif.
Kormoran: Siren tech?
Bulolo: Alien tech.
Kormoran: I wouldn't support der use of such technology. German engineering is der best in die world!
Jeremiah O'Brien: She' not defending German technical superiority, she stating the fucking obvious. Typical Jerries.
Belfast: I make no objections to this proposal.
Everyone was caught of offguard with that. Saying it so calm and confidently, it was clear Belfast had something up her skirt. Everyone looked to see a fleet bearing down on them. It was formed of two light cruisers, two battleships and a rather familiar looking battlecruiser. Jeremiah O'Brien became start-struck instantly and Adelaide beamed upon seeing the battlecruiser. It was a ship she knew.

Shoukaku: Isn't that?
Belfast: However, I should remind you that never battle at less than full force.
Enterprise: It's the main Royal Navy fleet.
Jeremiah O'Brien: The Mighty Hood. It's really her!
Adelaide: Good old Hood.
Belfast: Well then, let us know if you've made your decision.
Prinz Eugen: I suppose it's best to quit while we're ahead.
Meanwhile... with the destroyers...
Z23: Was habe ich gestagt? (What did I say?) Und now I expect apologies from everyone of yous that didn't take our warnings seriously!
