Set sail
As Hillary received his promotion and HMS knight left port the thunderous roaring of the ocean was the only thing to accompany the new found corporal.
"You alright?"said his cabin mate skully
"No"Hillary said in return
"What happened"skully said as he joined Hillary siting on main battery one
(Just a heads up I will be publishing a words list)
"Ah,it happened at port' my wife would not let me go"Hillary said shivering at the face that he recalled
"My wife gave me a hard time to"skully said trying to comfort Hillary as causally as he could.
"Ah,should we go clean,ya know get the gun in shape"
"Sounds good"
So Hillary and skully slaved to clean there AA gun and the deck around it until
CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG
"enemy" said skully
"Where"Hillary said trebling
"North"skully said mirroring Hillary
"Engage?"Hillary said
"ENEMY AIR CRAFT SPOTIT"an announcement said
"SHIT"skully said
"Man it"Hillary said as he jumped on the gun and started firing
BANG BANG
The 20mm rounds tore through the Japanese Reconnaissance plane with ease
"Whoa, what a hit" Hillary said proudly as the plane tumbled from the sky in a ball of fire
"Aircraft down" skully said with relief
"Good shot" the officer said looking surprised
"Well don-"
"OFICER ON DECK " screamed Hillary
"AT ease lads, as I was saying if you'd have been any slower our position would have been broadcast nation wide back in Japan"the officer said
They both come to ease and the officer complimented there guns cleanliness
"Wow,criky that gun is polished,well done lads, you are prized personal on this vessel that is for sure"
"Thank you sir " they both replied up right
As the officer walked off
"Jesus,that was to much"skully said still at attention
"Trust,you get used to it"Hillary said knowing that skully was only a cadet
"Really?"skully said surprised
"Yep"Hillary said, going to the cabin to relax
But not for long
