<em>Jean-Bart</em>noted that this fleet was intent on getting revenge for the damage done to them and she had to admire their tenacity. She and her two escorts<em>Alaska</em>and<em>Hawaii</em>had all of their weapons trained on the aircraft making any dive attempts on the battleship and two large cruisers (Battle cruisers) entirely useless. The same however could not be said for the three<em>Atlanta</em>cruisers that were left. They tried to cluster together their AA fire in order to protect themselves but never the less they were taking too much saturation and damage. The first to sink was the heavily damaged<em>Juneau</em>who was sadly fallowed by her two remaining sisters there after.<br/><br/>The torpedoes launched at<em>Courbet</em>by<em>Arashi</em>hit their mark. The battleship was stunned to find her Klein field shattered and torpedoes smashing into her stern. There was a loud explosion as she too sank beneath the waves. Perhaps unluckily for the forgotten ships her core had survived the battle. The core itself sank deep beneath the waves along with scraps of her hull from the detonation of the corrosive torpedoes.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Shimakaze</em>latched a toe cable to Abbey and started to tug the badly damaged supply ship out of the way. "I'm glad you're alright" she remarked as she looked at the flickering mental model. She was certain that it would take the poor girl some time to get her processes back in order so that she function properly.<br/><hr/><br/><em>Fusou</em>sighed as she watched the battered fleet leaving and commented over the JTN "I think they've had enough of a beating after all we've sank most of them" She sat down on her decks powering down her weapons because she knew that there was no way the opposing fleet or what was left of it would try anything at this point.<br/><br/><em>To think that they would fight so hard at her word....could there still be a part of them that.....? this will require more looking into. So now that Arizona knows she doesn't have her gravity cannon how will this effect morale I wonder? I remember that day quite clearly......it's one of my worst memories to be honest...</em>these thoughts drifted through the mind of the green haired battleship as she shifted her head to observe the rest of the fleet. She had to wonder how things would go from this point on.<br/><hr/><br/>Iya who had been drifting in place not far from the battlefield moved silently towards the side of the battle where<em>Jean-Bart's</em>fleet had been and began to collect the nine cores that had survived the fight and sank to the depths of the ocean. She then connected a JTN line to<em>I-7</em>so she and the other blue haired submarine sat in Iya's library once more "I've collected the cores and will carry them to XXXXX there I will drop them off and they can be picked up by either<em>Jean-Bart</em>or<em>Howe</em>honestly I don't care either way." The other facing her chuckled<strong>"Do you think that Jean will be able to pick them up after this failure?"</strong>Iya looked at her sister ship and stated "I honestly doubt it but I'm saying so anyway considering that<em>Shinano</em>has surprised us in the past".<em>I-7</em>smirked<strong>"I suppose your right...well I'll let Jean know and be on my way after all....I have to go make sure that <em>Kawachi</em> and <em>Settsu</em> are actually doing their jobs rather than goofing off again"</strong>Iya nodded "Farewell then"
