"Admiral, there's a priority message from base."

"What's it say?"

"They say, '4th Fleet is standing by for drop coordinates'"

"4th Fleet," guy was confused. He organized only three fleets. Did he? He didn't think he'd forget something like that, at least he didn't think so. "Where did they get the ships?"

"Base reports that Admiral Giscard-"

"Giscard? That man always was a resourceful one, probably forced the ships damaged off Texas out of Drydock. Well, many of them were about ready to re-enter service. Send them to these coordinates."

A few minutes later an area south of the three american fleets lit up in brilliance as 350 ships, with fresh crews, are dropped into the battlefield.

"Incoming message from the New Mexico, it's Admiral Giscard."

"The New Mexico? The Collie class? That ship wasn't due for a shakedown cruise for another month, and there are four other ships ahead in line. Put him through."

Guys personal comm screen lit with Admiral Javier Giscards image, sure enough, on the bridge of a Colorado class battleship.

"I'll admit, Mr. Giscard," Guy began, "I'm just as surprised to see you as seeing a ship that should still be in the hands of yard dogs."

"I pulled a few favors with Mr. Dock Commander, I also brought New Hampshire, Ohio, Utah, and Oregon."

"There must've been a lot of arm twisting to get the next five Collie into service," Guy mused, "I also see you decided to bring in Vengence and Intransigent. That's good, we lost the Conqueror a few hours ago, and needed to replace that lost Judgement. I'm going to have Intransigent move to assist a detachment of 3rd fleet moving to cut the enemy fleet off from the harbor, send a few squadrons with it. The rest are going to focus on CN, NAR, and AFOH squadrons in this area, focus on the heavier ships unless small craft try to get close, then fire on those. Understood?"

"Yes, sir, I'm relaying the orders to my units. Let's get to work."
