The partially repaired IKN Fleet returns to its home port, many of the smaller ships are fully repaired. The larger warships however were too big to fit in the early dry docks in Panama, and are still not battle ready. Among the fleet is the battered Gauntlet, now fully watertight, but still low in the water due to a continued presence of sea water in the anti gravity units, causing them to become very dense. She slowly maneuvers into a dry dock, and repairs are begun to repair her enough to become airworthy again.

Ass the heavy battleships approach the dockyard, an Iron Fist class battleship suffers a jammed rudder, becoming impossible to steer. Meanwhile the engine telegraphs on board become inoperable, causing the ship to careen into a civilian part of the harbor, eventually grounding in the middle of a marina, destroying hundreds of small pleasure boats docked there. As a result of the speed at which this happened, the ship becomes lodged in the shoreline and will take several weeks to loosen up enough to tow out. Meanwhile a repaired Intrepid class battleship is sent to provide additional surveillance while the radar post is out.
