In Mobile, Alabama, the Navy is ready to commission the Alabama, the lead ship of a new class of super battleships. The ceremony is being held at Battleship Memorial Park, and is presented by Admiral Harmon.

Harmon: ''Today is a legendary day for the US Navy. Because today, we are here to commission the next ship named after the state of Alabama. We have decided to have this ceremony near the previous battleship named Alabama to continue on the strength of the name overseas. After ten years of construction and upgraded to challenge other superships, she is ready to challenge the Federation and Admiral Guy's Colorado-class. And Guy, we already have a BBGN-87, and thats the Arizona (crowd laughs). Without further delay, I hereby commission this ship, the USS Alabama, nuclear powered guided missile super battleship 97!''

The crew of the Alabama shout the ship's motto, "Roll Tide", and the University of Alabama marching band begins to play the national anthem. The Blue Angels soar over and fireworks are launched from the Alabama's deck.

The ship will join the IKN's Thomas Zumwalt and Gurlar later this week for joint sea trials off the AIF coast.
