"The Battle"

“The Battle”

I was the Commander of a naval battle group in the Pacific Ocean.  I was on our flagship, an aircraft career.  The sea was clear, with no sign of enemies.  Wait, what’s that?!  A metal tube is sticking out of the water.  It looks like a sub going toward the destroyers.  Oh no, that’s an enemy sub!  I raced to the radio room and roared “SOS”!   The destroyer radioed over to ask what happened.  I said, “watch out, enemy sub coming our way”.  After I said that, I heard an explosion, and the signal went dead.  I called over the speakers, “man your battle stations, we are under attack”.  Then I felt the ship give a massive shudder.  Someone screamed when they fell over board.  Then planes started taking off to escape the sinking aircraft carrier.  I asked our men to get in the patrol boat and all ships to evacuate the area.  Then I heard that we had hit the sub, and I gave orders for all planes and ships to search for more subs or boats.  No luck, so I got in the patrol boat and was off back to the base.
