A New Mexico-Class Battleship Somewhere Else

The British 'Duel'

After Rewording: I've had to rework some logic and fix some grammar & punctuation errors. Re-read at your discretion. I will be moving on from this and going to what is planned.

Continuing off:

"Shut it Damn it!"

"Yeah, I'm from a different world, considering that most of you here right now got scrapped, a fair few, sunk."

Everyone went silent.

"Except one. That one would be-"

Pointing to Enterprise.

"Enterprise."

Enterprise: "Why me?"

"I couldn't find out about your fate. You weren't serving at the time, you weren't saved from scrapping, but you also weren't scrapped."

"Not before my own scrapping."

Arizona: "And why did you get scrapped?"

"I wasn't useful anymore, we old battleships had no use in a new age of planes and potent weapons of the new age."

Everyone looked around, standing there, silent at the thought of their future in his world.

Hammann: "And what happened to us after we were scrapped?"

Everyone looked back to Mississippi.

He couldn't possibly answer this question without someone getting mentally damaged by it.

A couple of minutes past.

Before Hornet pushed the subject behind them.

Hornet: "Hey, you never got us your name."

"Oh right, I never did, did I? I'm USS Mississippi, New Mexico-Class battleship, BB-41."

Arizona: "What's that class?"

"So she isn't here"

Muttering under his breath.

"Well, my class is between your class and the Tennesse Sisters. We were 3 battleships. I was the middle of those 2."

"Now, considering my sister isn't here, I could assume Idaho isn't here either, is she?

Everyone: "No."

"Ok, well, we should get moving-"

Only to be interrupted by Hornet:

Hornet: "What's with the flag?"

"Oh, this,"

Pointing at the US Flag.

"That's the United States."

Long Island: "Looks like ours's. *Yawns* Just, without the stars."

He looked around. Everyone agreed to this comment.

"Well, considering the differences are only with the flags, what's the name of the country?"

Long Island: "Well, it's Eagle Union. We are a faction. Not this so-called... Country."

He paused, realizing that the USA is just communist now.

But, Judging by their previous response about the flag, assumed the best-case scenario. Not being Communist.

And asked a new question.

"So if Eagle Union is a faction... Then what other factions are there?"

Hornet took the lead in talking as Long Island got overloaded by the marginal difficulty of the question he had just said.
