Skies above the Azur Lane Base Pearl Harbor

Two F/A-25 Hellcat flew above the clouds uncontested while conducting an Aerial Reconnaissance of the whole Azur Lane Pearl Harbor Base below. The two 6th Gen Fighter are invisible to the Base Radar detection below, because of its superior 21st century stealth technology that the DOD invested-in.

Squadrons of F4F Wildcat and Spitfires flew at its operation ceiling height as it conducts its aerial patrol above. The propeller Planes that once champion in aerial dog fight in WW2 did not detect the two 6th Gen Fighter, as it flew in higher altitude than any Propeller Planes.

The two F/A-25 Wildcats are circling above the Fighter Planes below undetected, the High Resolution Camera and its AESA Radar creates a 3D Mapping. The 3D topographical map is then transmitted back to the Carrier.

The Harbor that had some resemblance to the layout of Pearl Harbor back on Earth is a little bigger and spacious. The Harbor has many various WW2 Warships can be seen in the Dock and Pier ranging from Battleships, Carriers, Cruisers and Destroyers. There are also some Cargo Ships docked and unloading some Cargo to the Port.

By the estimated calculation by the bare naked eye, the Harbor is big enough to fit 4 Super Carriers in a single row, with some few spaces to fit a Destroyer.

Then the Harbor below starts to bustles with activities, as Shipgirls activates their Rigging and starts deploying more Fighter Aircraft in the air.

Anti-Air defenses are being maned by Manjuus, as some brought creates of ammo and shells. The Coastal Batteries came to life, as Manjuus cranked that big of a gun to point it barrel at the Harbor entrance to greet some intruders.

The two F/A-25 Wildcat's return to the Carrier after finishing their aerial reconnaissance above the Base unnoticed by patrolling Aircraft and Ground Base Radar.

~Hundred Kilometers away~

E/A-18 Growler uses its Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) to hide the loitering squadron of F/A-18 Super Hornets armed with JDAM's and other Laser Guided Bombs.

The purpose of the Squadron of Hornets loitering above armed with Bombs and Missile is to provide quick retaliatory strike if the Base attacked them for some unknown reasons, they want to use 'Big Stick Diplomacy' at the Harbor.

At the Carrier's CIC, Enterprise is looking through the Monitor Screen showing the layout of the Harbor, and various AA Defense emplacements. The screen shows the bustling activity on Base defenses, Shipgirls activated their Rigging in anticipation of attack.

"Looks like they are preparing for our arrival." She muttered to herself, as she was not surprise to see the Base to be heavily armed and ready to respond to any threat.

Her suspicion was right about the technology and timeline of this world, the technology is at the height of WW2 with some unknown technology that out History Textbooks.

Belfast enters the CIC Room carrying a tray with a cup of tea. "That looks like Pearl Harbor, but bigger."

She commented at the image shown at the Monitor Screen, she then gives the cup of tea to Enterprise. Enterprise takes the cup of tea and have a sip.

"Yeah...." She responded at the comment. "It's quite bid, even Ford Island at the middle is similar in shape."

Belfast notices the formation of F/A-18's loitering above the Harbor as Enterprise spoke. "Is it a bit too much?"
