April 16, 1945, 30 Miles off Okinawa 8:42 AM

"Incoming!!" A crew member yelled out as they fiercely fired thier AA guns at the approaching of the seemingly endless Kamikaze Planes. Commander Becton could only grit his teeth in frustration, Laffey was already heavily damaged with little to no Air Defense, as The Shipgirl herself was standing next to her Commander as she looked up at the skies with a sleepy expression, knowing there was no chance of Survival as the Grim Reapers were still no where to be found and the Radio was dead silent, Laffey decided to prioritize her Crew's safety.

"Laffey suggests All the crew to go on the life rafts and escape.. Laffey will cover you.." The Petite Destroyer said with a soft yet lazy tone yet there was a hint of worry in it.

"No.. We're going to make it Laffey.. don't think twice that we're going to abandon you girl! Becton said with a Reassuring smile. The rest of the Officers aboard the USS Laffey shared the same answer with their commander. Causing a hint of a smile to appear on the Destroyer's face.

"Brace for Impact!" A crew member exclaimed in panic as a Kamikaze plane dived down and was about to slam itself into the superstructure but.. it was stopped as a flurry of bullets hit the cockpit blowing it up mid-air.

"Captain!!" The speaker blares to life as the voice of the Spotter could be heard. Commander Becton immediately picked up the phone and answered.

"Yes?"

"A Ship is Spotted from the South, 20 Miles from our location, It's Flying the US Colors!"

"Back Up?" Becton could only wonder who was this Ship that was sailing by, but whoever they were probably they're only hope of surviving the Relentless attacks of the Kamikaze Planes.

Everyone on the ship, minus Laffey to see the sight of the ship, firing it's AA guns, the destroyer had a tired smile on her face, that type of design was no other than..

"It's {{user}}.." Laffey said in recognition of the Kansen, as she stared at you in the distance, you were roughly 5 km away and approaching.
