Invasion-War of Equestria
In Baltimare
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSeamare Fore- Equestrian Navy 3rd Fleet BB-03 Manehattan
September 17th 0300 Hours it's a nice late summer weather of it being around 62 degrees Fahrenheit at the open sea entering the Baltimare bay but while opening the shore line several miles out it was high tide but the battleship was only going 1/2 speed which it's max is 23 MPH but it's going 16 miles per hour.
In her cot the cotton candy pink pegasus slept where it was almost peaceful on the battleship full of 2355 ponies mostly stallions where they heard over the PA "General Quarters! General Quarters all ponies man your battlestations!" said a pony over the PA for them to man there battlestations where the ponies sleeping got up and went to there places.
Engineer ponies went to places for engineers like the engine room, fireponies went to places that are fire proof and placed on there 3 quarter bunker gear and rubber jackets and helmets ready to fight fires, medical ponies went to the medbays and waited if anypony got injured and the gunners went to either in the 3x12 16 inch/50 cal heavy artillery guns, 5 inch/54 caliber duel purpose guns or the rapid fire 40mm Anti-Air guns wearing helmets that says EQN short for Equestrian Navy.
In the turret of a 5 inch/54 caliber twin side duel purpose she looked out where the city was dark where the enemy is enforcing a black out on the local populace so the Equestrian AIr force can't bomb the still invading enemy where they seen flares land from being dropped by bombers of the Equestrian AIr Force.
Enemy shore batteries started to fire at the battleship where the battleships heavy guns fired back but she told the 3 ponies in the turret with her to fire as several enemy light cruisers headed right to them as they were leaving the Port of Baltimare where they were damaged and forced the local stallion populace to repair them as the mare populace of the city was forced to breed with them and not allowed to do any work like repairing military equipment.
Radar picked up enemy aircraft inbound but the gun turrets on the side are duel purpose so they can quickly go from shooting at the ships to the aircraft then back to the ships real quick almost right away in a heartbeat.
She and the other ponies heard a loud explosion where they heard a pony from the bridge say over the PA accident "Damn it." a pony said where the ship's captain said "That wasn't no accident he intentionally flew into us he wasn't a one off." said the ship's captain that the plane that flown into them wasn't a accident but it was a Kamikaze griffon who was flying the plane.
There was another explosion where the ship's taking on water where out of the blue Dreadnought B-01 "Celestia" came to aid them but there were intense kamikaze attacks where the dreadnought was sunk within 10 minutes after being there to provide help.
By the sinking ship they gotten the other ponies on where the ship was in fire where there was a explosion where the fire reached the magazine and the artillery rounds exploded where the ponies gave aid to the ones on the Manehattan giving them additional hooves to aid in.
Some Engineer ponies bought there tools over from the Celestia where that was there pride of the navy ship where there war support is lost for awhile but they have a new foe to worry about and that's kamikazes to deal with.
Over the radio CV-01 "Peace" and CV-02 "Harmony" joined them with there escort ships joined them where they launched fighters to protect the ships from the new foe.
She fired a round that hit a enemy heavy cruiser in the bridge killing all on board but the enemy ship started to go in circles which made the enemy sailors a easy target or hard for them to fire but the enemy ships were done firing when all sunk and some gotten trapped below decks and they either drowned to death or the ocean pressure crushed them like a tin can when the ocean depth pressure gotten strong enough.
Soon they heard that the enemy got an airfield.
Flight deck on CV-02 "Harmonry" Senior Airpony Swift Cobalt and Apple Harmony were in there L7L plane where they took off with Airpony Comet Flash and a new pilot Rookie Air-zebra Swift Thunder where there planes were loaded with bear from rockets, 250 pound bombs and machine gun ammo.
That Squadron and several other squadrons attacked CEA Airport where they quickly rebuilt it after it was targeted in a resistance movement attack.
After dropping bombs on the airport destroying the hangers his plane dropped a bomb as there were a line of enemy planes parked with there engines started ready to go when one 250 pound bomb he dropped it caused a chain reaction of explosions where Comet Flash said "Knocked one airfield out of commission!" he said excited that the enemy homemade airfield is out of action.
Radar reported of a enemy battleship in coming it's huge where a pony said "It's a Yankee class battleship!" said a pony said on the threat that's sailing there way.
The Pony fleet admiral said "If that ship get's close enough to us to fire those guns at us were a dead duck!" said the mare fleet admiral on if the enemy battleship get's too close to them on what's going to happen to them.
Back on the carrier the fighter's landed where the torpedo bombers were loaded with torpedo's and placed onto the elevator and bought up to the flight deck.
Airpony Recruit Ascending Thunder Mare Alicorn.
In her H4T "Guardian" it was her and her tail gunner Ms Rapid Flyer where she calmly breath where her tail gunner asked if she's fine but Ascending told her she never did an torpedo run at almost 4 in the morning mostly during the day or sunrise or sunset where in the dark never been done by her.
She took her plane off using her wings to pull the throttle back so they wouldn't crash in the ocean and they were airborne flying where it's different to fly at night especially when it's hard to see but while flying east she seen gunfire where she told her squadron to rally on her she found the ship due to the Anti-Air guns firing.
She and her wingponies dived out of the sky in there planes where they dropped there torpedo's where they just headed back where the other 8 torpedo bomber squadrons finished the ship off where each squadron had 3 so out of 24 planes only 10 came back.
The Anti-Friendship Pact there running out of options where the Equestrians still have control over there skies and there navy is sinking there ships faster then anypony could say "Krabby Patty Supreme" and there cargo ships are being sunk by there submarines and attack aircraft at an alarming rate losing more then they can replace.

The H4T "Guardian" is based on the TBF "Avenger"
