In the Fleet Admiral''s office, Abraham calmly gazed at the notification screenin front ofhim. A couple seconds passed before his eyebrows flickered in wonder. For some reason, it took 4-working days for his reaction to appear.
"An Arleigh Burke-ss Destroyer? And a Flight III at that?" He felt incredulous and couldn''t believe what he was seeing. But nevertheless, it was the truth.
He got a powerful destroyer as his first warship.
''Hehehehe~'' Abraham felt delighted inside his mind after discovering what he had received from the RNG God. It seems that thesystemwanted him to be addicted to gacha by giving him a mouthful of a reward.
However, before the middle-aged man could continue relishing his first victory in RNG, a familiar mechanical bell rang inside his mind.
*Ding!*
| Congrattions, Fleet Admiral, for your first warship! You have taken your first step in building your Naval Force. Would you like to give it a name? |
What followed the mechanical ring was Systema''s feminine monotone voice. Judging from her words, it seemsthat Systemawas requesting a name for his navy.
Abraham thought about itfor a short momentand went through dozens of names. Since the name would be stered above his navy, he needed to be careful as it would probably be permanent.
''Hmm… The Naval Gacha System rewards me with ships of every nation andanyss. They would probably look different from one another, especially their design element.''
''My navy would probably consist of fleets of warships from every nation in my former world. So, there should be one name perfect for it.'' At first, he thought of the name as somewhat cliche, but it fitted his navy''s circumstances the best.
With this in mind, Abraham hardened his resolve and gave his naval force a name.
"United Navy will be its name."
"All nations, warships, armaments, and personnel of humanity from my former world under one banner. Advancing into the unknowns of this world. We will be united against any challenges thrown to us by destiny."
For some reason,after giving his naval force its name, he feltpelled to state his reasons.Never did heknow,this would be the motto of the uing United World Government.
But such was for the long and distant future.
| Naval force name epted! |
| Warships of the United Navy will be honored under the designation of UNS. |
| Let the shining unity of the UN gleam through the seven seas! |
From Systema''s words, even Abraham felt a bit excited. This cranky one was good at making others emotional despite having nothing but a monotone voice.
"United Navy…" He reminded himself of the force hemanded in the high seas. He felt excitement seeping into his heart. It made him want to make it better and stronger.
Though… For now,hemust turnhisattention to the digital screen in front ofhim.
●| UNS Light Bringer |
?| The UNS Light Bringer is an Arleigh Burke-ss Destroyer of the Flight III ssification.It is an advanced guided-missile destroyerequippedwith thetest Spy-6 radaralong withthe updated Aegisbat system.It is capable of Anti-Air Warfare(AAW), Anti-Submarine Warfare(ASW), and Anti-Surface Warfare(ASuW). |
?| The Light Bringer has a discement of 9,000 long tons with a length of 155 meters and a beam of 20meters,Ithas a maximum speed of 31 knots and aplement of 360 officers and enlisted personnel. The destroyer also carries 2x MH-60R Seahawk helicopters with ASW and ASuW capabilities |
?| The main armament of the destroyer is its Mk 41 Vertical-Launching System(VLS) with its supporting armaments of a single 5-inch (127mm)/62 Mk 45 Mod 4 (lightweight gun), a 20mm Phnx CIWS, two 25mm Mk 38 machine gun system in its port and starboard, and finally four 50-caliber guns. |
?| It also has two Mark 32 triple torpedo tubes with various types of torpedoes equipped. Lastly, it has a double hangar and helipad residing in its stern. |
The information presented about the UNS Light Bringer was enlightening for Abraham.It made him aware of itscapabilities as a warship and alsogave the Fleet Admiral some confidence in the exploration of the high seas.
''I need all the confidence I can get.'' Abraham inwardly chuckled while looking through the windows with his gaze pointed at the only dock of the port.
Beside the dock was a golden light radiantly piercing through its surroundings. It brought a lot of attention to the surrounding personnel.
But luckily, the military police of the port handled it swiftly.Theycordoned the dockfor a momentwhile the destroyer slowly took its form.
After some time, the golden light disappeared from the dock as if it didn''t exist. What reced it was a lone and moderately-sized warship floating along the waves.
The UNS Light Bringer resembled a mechanical beast forged for war and destruction.A monstrous entity that would throw hot freedom warheads from across a thousand kilometers.
Its existence would consolidate the Port of Dawn and the status of the United Navy. Abraham also doesn''t have to worry about getting eaten by seamonsters,if they ever existedin this world.
*Ding!*
| Tasks Prompt Avable! |
The feminine and monotone voice ofSystemresounded in his ears. He raised an eyebrow after hearing her before realizingthat itwas the long-awaited Naval Task.
''I''ve been waiting for this.'' Abraham thought to himself, especially sincethe existence ofthe Naval Task wasimportantfor the growth of his naval force.
If he wanted to get the naval points for gacha, aplishing Naval Tasks wasamandatoryactivity.
*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!*
Unfortunately, he couldn''t continue relishing his thoughts as he had an organization to manage.
"Sir, this is Lieutenant Commander Morgen. Can Ie in?"
Outside of the door was Morgen, hewas appalled by the emergence of a destroyer in the middle of his port. It appeared out of nowhere, without warning.
But nevertheless, he also understood that the destroyer was a part of his Fleet Admiral''s warships. How such a ship could appear out of nowhere was a question he''d probably think of for the rest of his life.
Though…Healso understood that the same could be said with the Port of Dawn. It materialized in the middle ofnowhere,and in a world far different from before.
''I guess the abilities of the Fleet Admiral can only be consideredasunnatural and powerful.'' Morgen thought to himself and slightly sighed.
"Come in, Lieutenant Commander Morgen."
With the confirmation of the Fleet Admiral, Morgen entered the office and saw the Fleet Admiral in his uniform. As expected, the highest ofmand looked incredibly good in theirrespective navy uniform.
"How may I help you, Lieutenant Commander Morgen. Is there something wrong?" Abraham inquired with substantial eloquence.
Before the transmigration, he would have cringed in acting in such a formal way.
But now? It was a natural part of his job.
''I''m adapting fast.'' He quietly thought while gazing at the eyes of the Lieutenant Commander.
"Nothing is wrong, Sir. The emergence of a destroyer merely brought some unwanted troubles to the port. A defensive action was nearly done, and it would have ended badly."
Morgen stated his reasons for entering the office. While the Fleet Admiral was their highest officer, it was also Morgen''s duty to maintain the stability of the port.
"I see… Apologies for that, Lieutenant Commander. I''ll be giving warnings before summoning warships of our fleet." Abraham understood that summoning something out of nowhere wasn''t without consequence.
It was fortunate that the port was in the process of stabilizing itself in this world. Otherwise, iftheywere military-ready, things would have ended badly for the destroyer.
"No need for your apologies, Sir. Your understanding is enough for us. I have already said what I wanted to say, so I''ll take my leave." Morgen bowed and saluted to the Fleet Admiral.
However, before he could turn his back on the Fleet Admiral, a question entered his ears.
"Lieutenant Commander Morgen, how many personnel do we have In this portandwhat are its defensive capabilities?" Abraham calmly asked.
Even though Morgen had already uttered the types of defensive fortifications in the port, he didn''t go into the specifics, which Abraham was curious about.
"Sir, the Port of Dawn consists of 1,000 able-bodied personnel. Many are manufacturing specialists, some are transportation workers, and others are from the military."
"Regarding the military. Specifically, we have the 25th Military Police Company consisting of 150 soldiers. There are also several dozen Humvees in our warehouse, several LMTV military trucks, numbers of m2A4 Bradleys'', and a couple of Multi-Mission Launchers(MML)."
"We also fielded six UH-60M ck Hawks and two AH-64E Apaches in our airstrip, but they will have to undergo maintenance checks before being cleared to roam the skies."
"Our defensive fortifications are bolstered by the MIM-104 Patriots and numbers of Phnx C-RAMs. The defensive capabilities of the Port of Dawn arepletely ordinary as we haven''t begun expanding our influence to other inds."
Morgen''s exnation about their defensive capabilities made the Fleet Admiral smile.
"Thank you for your exnation, Lieutenant Commander Morgen. It seems that our port is brimming with military hardware and vehicles. This will reinforce our safety in this unknown world and pave our path into the future."
It was natural to praise the capabilities of his forces. The more functional guns they have, the better it would be.
"You''re wee, Fleet Admiral Shepherd. As always, the Port of Dawn is honored to be in yourmand."
He salutedatthe Lieutenant Commander and bowedonceagain before leaving the office.
As silence encapsted the Fleet Admiral''s Office, Abraham thought aboutthe thingshe had learned from the Lieutenant Commander.
While thinking, he slowly turned his gaze towards the bookshelves riddled with numerous books and knew that he had to learn the basics of naval strategies.
Before waking up in this world, he thought he would never touch a bookeveragain. But it looks like he was far from correct.
''Systema, give me a Naval Task.''His gaze sharpened asthefamiliar mechanical ring and feminine monotone voiceofSystemechoed inside his mind.
*Ding!*
| Naval Task mission issued! |
| Prompting Mission ssification… |
| (Maritime Security) mission received! |
