The Murderous Rampage of the NARNS Kirishima

Many years ago (more like minutes, LOL), a massive cataclysm on the sea occurred between two massive fleets. The first grand fleet consisted of a South Dakota-class battleship, a North Carolina-class battleship, a King George V-class battleship, the NARNS Kirishima, a Kongo-class battleship, and the HMS Boat, an Admiral-class battlecruiser.

The second, opposing grand fleet consisted of a North Carolina-class battleship, a Colorado-class battleship, a Bayern-class battleship, and a gargantuan Yamato-class battleship. Escorting the enemy fleet was a Zara-class heavy cruiser, a Maya (1944), and an O-class submarine.

Both fleets started in a confused state, as both scrambled to gather their wits to form a strategy. However, the first fleet quickly organized, and formed a cohesive battle line behind the King George V, with NARNS Kirishima, HMS Boat, and South Dakota following abreast close behind, with North Carolina trailing a little behind them.

The enemy fleet eventually managed to organize, and the North Carolina, Maya, and Zara steamed a head to cut the first grand fleet off to the command base. The Bayern, Yamato, and Colorado would attempt to chase us. Unfortunately, the O-class sub struck a mine and exploded (rage quit).

The two fleets sailed parallel, until the enemy scouting force charged our forward battle line. A mix of 14inch, 15inch, and 16inch shells screeched through the air, and the Maya went down quickly. Then the Kirishima unloaded her fury, sinking the Zara and North Carolina, with assistance from the King George V and HMS Boat.

The enemy flanking party split in two, and the Bayern and Colorado attacked the King George V, HMS Boat, and Kirishima, successfully crossing the T with the first grand fleet. The King George V quickly went down to 15inch and 14inch fire, leaving the Boat and Kirishima vulnerable. The Boat too heavy damage, and was forced to withdrawal (ran away), leaving Kirishima alone to fight. In a fury of 14inch shells, Kirishima single handedly destroyed the Colorado, and finished off the moderately damaged Bayern. However, Kirishima was heavily damaged, and was dead in the water.

Meanwhile, the North Carolina and South Dakota of the first grand fleet broke off from the main battle line and attacked the Yamato. In a few short seconds, North Carolina was put down, and South Dakota was heavily damaged. With its fate nearly sealed, South Dakota fired its final salvo, as did Yamato. Their shells hit at the same time, finally putting South Dakota to rest, and detonating Yamato's magazine, sending her up in flames.

With the battle over, NARNS Kirishima was given the distinguished service medal in the inner circle (chat), for successfully sinking four enemy ships. South Dakota was also commended posthumously for her honorable service defeating the mighty Yamato.

And so our tale of the Murderous Rampage of the NARNS Kirishima is told. However, legend still says that the mighty Kirishima sails on to this day, terrorizing any foolish enough to oppose her...
