Battleship
It is the morning of October 31, 2021. Admril board Game Guy reporting for the UN peacekeeping fleet. We are located in the the sea of Japan. There has been unrest in the area due to pirates, North Korean patrols, and Russian naval exercises. We have deployed our fleet as trained and have activated the standard sonar grid for the area. The grid, for those unaware, is how we sweep and target different zones. The grid uses a alpha numeric refrence such as B3, which is located in our northwestern sector. Our patrol went as plan until a large water ploom exploded near our crusier at grid F6. The fleet was ordered to combat condition one and started our return fire. Our first salvo landed with no damage in quadrant H3 as another large splash landed near our patrol boat in B9. We traded salvos with the unknown enemy until we struck a submarine at D5. The crew on the bridge cheered in joy just to scramble in terror as our carrier was struck at G10. I demand to know where that came from! "We don't know sir," came from the lookout. As we looked to capatilize on takeing out the underwater menace and failed, the front of our carrier errupted in flames as we were hit on F10. Then with another metallic explosion detected by sonar, we knew that we had hit the enemy submarine at D4. As we waited for another explosion to rack our carrier a large water plume exploded upward to the front of the burning carrier at E10. "They have us bracketed," came the call from the Ex-o. Sir, Submarine sunk at D3. Great job everyone! Find me a new target. The carrier was racked again at the midship. Concentrate fire in the Northeast quadrant. Miss sir, B7. With a fourth explosion on our mighty carrier, I have ordered the crew to prepare to abandon ship. In the distance a fire ball rips through the air. What was that? Enemy Battleship hit, A8. We awaited the killing blow just for a water explosion to occured near our battleship at B1. Why did they not finish us? They must be looking for the rest of our fleet. Concentrate our fire on their battleship. Eye sir! Enemy Battleship is burning sir at D8. We have its coordinates, fire at will! Mayday...Mayday... came over the intercom. Our crusier was hit at J10. Sir, report comming in from HQ. Lunch is ready...Break contact and shadow enemy fleet for re-engagment.
