The four Iowa classes had been a great asset to the NATO naval forces alongside the other battleships from the UK and France had help to bolster against the Communists new Kirov class battlecruiser, Chinese Beijing class battleships, and North Korean Pyongyang class cruiser but they call them "Surface Hunters" while Iowa was out and about in Germany her sisters were in the other great seas Wisconsin is operating in the Atlantic New Jersey was in port getting her resupply and refit and Missouri was operating in the Northern Areas with her personal fleet on her regular patrols on behalf of the Canadian Navy she and her fleet were to patrol the area around the USSR and to watch out for any communist ships or boats passing illegally through the waters Missouri was heavily protected her personal fleet consist of USS Mississippi, USS Scott, USS John Young, USS Sides, USS Gallery, and USS America. Missouri was both a strategic and psychological asset as she was the ship that ended the war against the Siren and Red Axis were signed on her deck losing her would be a disaster. As they moved along the ocean surface Missouri was just laying on her front turret just staring at the sky since she was a veteran of the war so she has seen some sh*t so being back in service after decades of an halides as a museum ship being back in the fray was a lot to take in so she's usually quiet for the majority but she still frequently talks to her sisters and Midway many say she never speaks from their perceptive.  As they all continue their patrol America noticed something.

America: What the heck?

Sides: What is it?

America: I got some hostiles about 17 clicks at our 4 o'clock about ten of them with one capital ship leading them one of my Intruder's is getting an eye on her it's Kirov!!!

Missouri: Kirov...?


It was a Soviet Naval Battle Group lead by battlecruiser Kirov whom was a sleep at that time her frontal escort destroyer Osmotritelnyy saw the USN aircraft and shot at it with some gradfly missiles.

Osmotritelnyy: {On the radio} Американская Плэйн!!! "American PLANE!!"

Ustinov: Kirov!!

Kirov: Kirov reporting

Ustinov: У нас есть несколько капиталистических собак за горизонтом."We have some capitalist dogs  over the horizon"

Kirov: Guh Так же, как и в обучении, занимайтесь по собственному желанию"Just like in training engage at will"

All Soviet ships opened fire with their anti ship missiles at the US fleet with dozens of missiles were heading towards them.

Scott: We got several missiles inbound coming in hot

Missouri: "Sighs" Like as always all ships into AA formation..yadayada all that stuff....

America: Jesus she sounds depressed giving no shit what so ever

The USN ships formed into anti air formation and as the missiles got closer they opened fire with their standard missiles at them hitting four of them as the rest got closer they fired their Phalanx CIWS
