The war that's determined by sea, air, and heroic actions in the Pacific

               "So this is Ford Island huh?", said RainbowDash.

              "Yes it is. This is Ford Island.", Joe said.

              "We can set you ponies up a room.", said MacArthur.

              "That will be great darling!", Rarity said.

             The lieutenant's showed them a room with six beds in a large room and that would be their room. Later Roosevelt had a speech to all of the military, navy, and Air Force. He would do his speech at 3:00 p.m.

              Hawaii: Pearl Harbor, Oahu: 3:00 p.m. The president was in front of a large crowd and he was standing up with the leg contraptions he had to stand up that were on his legs. He was with MacArthur both Lieutenants Callaham and Crowe, and he was with the captains of the USS Enterprise and the USS Lexington. "I am glad to be here with all of you here to listen to my speech. I have an important speech about our guests here at Pearl Harbor and before I speak we will do the national anthem. Face the flag, put your right hand over your heart, ready begin! They faced the American flag that was to Roosevelt's right and began. The mane six were at the control tower and saw the Americans do their anthem.

                "Sssshhh! Let's hear it everypony.", said Fluttershy. Next the Americans had their right hand over their heart and began.

             After the Americans finished their national anthem president Roosevelt gave his speech. "We are here to talk about something personal, gentlemen. About our guests, you MUST never talk about them or I'm afraid that other people will use them for power. And treat them with respect. They can be on our ships and you have permission to show them our ships and equipment and planes. Also BE respectful gentlemen. Good day."

               The president left to go back to D.C. and the servicemen of the navy, Air Force, and military went back to their positions. "Listen here Eagles & Lieutenants, make sure our guests don't  get injured or go missing from the island. Understood?", MacArthur told all of them.

               "Sir, yes sir!", the Eagles and the Lieutenant's said to MacArthur.

              "What would you like ponies like to see first of Pearl Harbor?", asked Lt. Callaham.

              "We would like to see your navy first!", Rainbowdash said.

               "Well follow us then we're going to the 'Row'.

               "What do you mean 'Row'?

               "You'll see RainbowDash you'll see. We're here! Welcome to battleship row!"

               Battleship row was a row of 7 battleships: All of them were named after states in the U.S.

1. USS California (BB-44), The Battle Force flagship of the U.S. fleet. Tennessee Class Battleship. First ship of Battleship Row.

2. USS Maryland (BB-46) Colorado Class Battleship, alongside the Oklahoma.

3. USS Oklahoma (BB-37)  Nevada Class Battleship, alongside the Maryland.

4. USS Tennessee (BB-43) Tennessee Class Battleship, alongside with the West Virginia.

5. USS West Virginia (BB-48) Colorado Class Battleship, alongside with the Tennessee.

6. USS Arizona (BB-39) Pennsylvania Class Battleship, next to a repair ship.

7. USS Nevada (BB-36) Nevada Class Battleship, Last ship in Battleship row.

               "Wow these ships are GINORMOUS!", Applejack said.

               "Yep, these are the biggest type of ships in the pacific!", Joe said.

               "We have 8 battleships here but the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) is in drydock No. 1 south of battleship row.", Captain Stone said.

               "We have more ships around the harbor. Would you like to hear about them?", Lt.Crowe asked the ponies.

               "Sure we would like to see them.", Pinkie Pie said to both of the Lieutenant's.

               "Well, we have 2 heavy cruisers and 6 light cruisers. 30 destroyers, 4 submarines, 13 mine sweepers, and some other small vessels like PT Boats and Coast Guard. And some repair, oilers, and some other vessels in the harbor. We also have Aircraft Carriers which are big ships that are designed to carry planes and can launch/land. Also they can refuel & re-arm planes out at sea. But they require escorts out at sea. The USS Enterprise and Lexington are out at sea and are training pilots for battle.

               "Well this a nice and peaceful island for your naval base.", Fluttershy said.

               "Yes but there's a lot more islands in the Hawaiian islands. This our main Naval Headquarters in the Pacific Ocean, the largest ocean on the planet Earth.", MacArthur said.

               "Hawaii is a peaceful place for vacation and going to the beach. It is the best tropical place in America.", Frank said.

               A private from the U.S. Marines named PVT. Paul Miller approached the Lieutenant's and handed Lt.Callaham a letter from MacArthur. It said that on Decmber 7th, 1941 after 8:00 A.M. that a flight of B-17 Flying Fortress's are going to land at Hickam Airfield from California. And another flight of SBD Dauntless's from both the USS Enterprise and Lexington are also landing at Hickam Airfield.

               "What does that letter say Callaham?", Crowe asked Callaham.

               "I got a letter from MacArthur. It says that we will expect two flights for Pearl Harbor. We have a flight of B-17 Flying Fortress's from California. And a flight of SBD Dauntless's from our carriers out at sea."

               "Well it will be a Sunday and that's when most people are on short shifts and will sleep in. Even my brother Charlie on the Arizona will sleep in always on Sunday's but not me."

              "Why don't you sleep in. Doesn't it help you relax?", Fluttershy asked Lt.Crowe.

               "I am in charge of Ford Island's air base and I am a light sleeper. I make sure that all of the radio's and other programs are online. And check every telegram that we get from D.C. or any where around Hawaii or the U.S. MacArthur told me that I am a great Lieutenant for my squadron.", Lt.Crowe said to Fluttershy.

                "Anyway let's continue the tour of the base.", Callaham said as he put the papers in his right pocket of his pants.

               10 days later... December 3rd, 1941.

              The mane six now know the entire base and were very popular. A ton of sailors, pilots, and marines now knew them and their adventure's. They also shared stories about the ships stationed at Pearl. Also they saw the submarine base, the seaplane/floatplane base and went in a PBY Catilina and saw the beaches and life of the Hawaiian islands. They also have seen the Lieutenant's Callaham and Crowe fly their P-40 Warhawks with their famous shark mouth nose paint on the front of the engine.  The Lieutenant's made a very tricky trick called the 'Chicken' strategy. It's when two friendly planes are in front of each other and someone goes to the right and someone goes to the left before they are very close to each other. It is a risky trick, but the U.S. War Department liked their strategy of 'chicken' and made that only the best pilots can fly that trick. And the Lieutenant's were the top 2 of the top 5 in the USAAF. And the rest were at other bases. 1 is at Wake Island and the other 2 are at Midway. The U.S. government and the president were talking about peace negotiations with Japan. While MacArthur was in the Philippines overwatching U.S. Marine bases on the islands. Great Britian also had trouble with Japan trying to invade countries near their colonies and tensions grow with the Japanese with other countries along with Australia and the Dutch. All four of these countries are trying to have peace negotiations with Japan and tension is growing in all of these countries.

               3 days later... December 6th, 1941.

              "I love a beautiful sunset like this on the beach.", said a lady with blonde hair that was next to Lt.Crowe. She was Crowe's girlfriend and they were both from Oahu, Hawaii. Her name was Sierra.

            "Yeah Sierra, it is beautiful here on the beach at sunset.", said Crowe. He was wearing his Air Force uniform on.

               "So how's it going in the USAAF?"

               "It's great! It's very relaxing at Pearl when duty is off."

               "How's Charlie doing?"

              "Good, the Arizona has about more than a thousand people sleeping there tonight. Everyone sleeps in on a Sunday."

              "I'm glad to be in Hawaii Crowe. I love you."

               "I love you to Sierra."

              They then kissed each other as the sun was setting over the horizon.

              "Anyway see you later Sierra. Got to get back to Ford Island. Love you!"

              "See you later handsome! I love you to!❤️

               Back at Ford Island

               "I saw you with your girlfriend at the beach! And you two kissed!", Pinkie Pie said to Crowe as he arrived to Ford.

            "Yeah her name is Sierra, we have been boyfriend and girlfriend for about a month now. Besides we get along great! Good night I'll see you in the morning!"

              "Goodnight!", all of the mane six whisperes at once because other people were sleeping since it was 10:00 P.M. Next the Lieutenant's, Eagles, and the mane six were all asleep.

               6:00 A.M. Off the coast of Oahu about a thousand miles away, planes were taking off from 6 carriers and we're heading towards Oahu. Theywere in a large formation of about 50 planes and are on course to Oahu.

              Later the USS Ward was on patrol at the harbor entrance.

USS Ward: (DD-139), Whickes Class Destroyer. ( Note: This did happen in real life!)

               6:48 A.M. The USS Ward was patrolling the entrance to Pearl Harbor. The entrance had a submarine net so submarines couldn't get through to the harbor. There were also underwater mines in case of submarines. While the Ward was patrolling the entrance to the harbor they caught something on their sonar. "Captain look at this!", said a crewman on the bridge at the sonar computer.

               "What is it son?", the captain asked the person at the sonar.

               "We got an identified vessel near us! The rest of the crew on the bridge was listening to them.

               "What type of vessel is is?"

               "Hey John, can you see what's near us outside?"

               "Sure Peter I'll check!", said John. He was Peter's friend on the Ward.

               "There's one of our ships carrying equipment!"

                "Alright, thanks John!", Peter said.

               "Well then that vessel is a submarine then! Is it one of ours?", the captain asked Peter.

               "No sir it's not responding. It appears to be an unidentified vessel!"

               "Is it Japanese or German?"

               "The radar doesn't say. It seems it's going to the entrance of Pearl!"

               "Then let's attack it when it surfaces for air!"

               "Sir the submarine has just surfaced to starboard sir!"

               " This is the Captain of the Ward! We have found an unidentified submarine to starboard! Attack it now!

               "Firing now captain!", said one of the gunners.

               "FIRE!!!", the captain said to all of the gunners.

               The artillery guns on the Ward fired and hit the unknown submarine in the middle and then went down. It looked like it was sinking.

               "We got it sir, the sub is no longer on our sonar systems!", Peter said to the captain.

              "Well we don't know if we sunk it or not. Send a message to HQ: Released Depth charges and engaged sub Let's return to Pearl, our patrol here is over.", said the captain.

               The Americans got the first blood that morning, but ethe Japanese had the first kill. Off the coast of Oahu, a flight of unidentified aircraft approach Pearl Harbor.
