Today, most people around the world are familiar with the tale of the U.S.S. Missouri, an Iowa-class battleship that survived the war, the Iowa-class battleships are said to be the last battleships of the US Navy. On the British Side, little is know...
Papua New Guinea - Lombrum Naval Base - September 15, 1944
In Port Moresby, the American fleets met and docked on the Lombrum Naval Base. American and Australian resources were transferred to the naval base as the Americans and Australians are fighting the Japanese, liberating the rest of Papua New Guinea.
Most of the ships specifically the 3rd and 7th Fleet, which included some majority from Task Force 58, are docked on the coastal areas of the naval base.
The reinforcement fleet which has Missouri with 5 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, and 2 large cruisers, are docked on port on the Naval Base, with most of their Lieutenants and Captains heading to the Main Office to discuss the operation in liberating the Philippines. General Douglas McArthur's forces have also arrived on the naval base with more troop landing ships filled with American troops. Which was followed by Australian troops and resources to reinforce the soon invasion of Leyte.

On port, the high officers of the ships then met each other, most of them joining the Main Office of Operations to discuss while the others, are busy having a reunion to their friend.
Ad. Alaskio: Ad. Missouro!
Ad. Missouro: Hm? Oh Ad. Alaskio. How's it going in the Alaska?
Ad. Alaskio: Pretty much different without you.
Ad. Missouro: So ya'll losing hope when me and the Missouri are gone?
Ad. Guamo: You could say that.
Ad. Missouro: Well, even if I lost my arm back then, it leaves a scar, but a scar that will be remembered as what I have fought in the future years.
Ad. Guamo: Please try not to push further from risk to a deadly situation.
Ad. Missouro: I survived the loss of the Arizona, then sank many ships in Midway, saving the Yorktown from being sunk by a Japanese submarine, fought in Santa Cruz, nearly sank by the Japanese saving Hornet?
Ad. Missouro: I have already many scars in my head ever since the Attack on Pearl, so I rest my case, even if sacrificing the ship and myself entirely.
Ad. Alaskio: Please don't scare us.
Ad. Missouro: Okay, okay. I'll stop.
He laughed as Ad. Guamo snickered seeing his older brother feeling uncomfortable from what Ad. Missouro is saying.
The 3 Admirals then walked to meet the British ships to which Ad. Missouro took interest in meeting the ones who are controlling the ships.
Ad. Iosino and Ad. Kenshiro are at the Main Office so they didn't have time to talk with him, but they did visited Ad. Missouro when he was on the hospital from 1942 to 1944.
