May 8, 1942

"Captain, the crew has been contained"

"Hmm"

On the giant ship not far away, the sky-high fire and smoke make it stand out in the sunset.

"Torpedo ready for launch"

The order was conveyed all the way from the command room, and the sailors, who had been waiting next to the torpedo tubes, immediately began to get busy, and wanted to sink the friendly ships fighting side by side with them, and a heavy feeling spread around everyone.

"Are you really going to sink her?" A sailor couldn't help but say.

"The order has arrived, and the execution is," said a man who looked like the leader of the group of sailors, with a blank face, but the brilliance in his eyes betrayed his heart.

"Torpedo launch!"

The captain did not let the sailors wait long, and at the same time as the order was given, the sailors fired the torpedoes, and five torpedoes smashed on the water, raising a splash, and under the attention of the sailors, they quickly rushed towards Lexington in the distance.

In a burst of explosions, the massive hull began to split, pour, and sink, and the remaining ammunition on board was detonated, causing an even louder explosion, like a cannon salute sounding to see her off.

In the glow of the setting sun, Lexington fell silent in the icy waters, and only a few debris and oil slicks still told the world about what had happened here.

"Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, I would like to know the detailed process"

"Okay"

Phuket Sound

An aircraft carrier not far away was being retrofitted with an air defense system, and a battle report was delivered to a middle-aged man standing aside.

After reading the battle report in silence, the man didn't say anything, but looked at the giant ship in front of him with a firmer look in his eyes than before.

"Report, I'm Phelps, and the commander asked me to report here!" A weak voice with a hint of strength sounded in the small living room.

"Hello, welcome to you~" A person sitting on the sofa stood up, turned around and smiled and stretched out his hand.

Her long golden hair fluttered around her waist as she turned, and the white military uniform made her look heroic, but what Phelps cared about most was the hair ornament on her head and the familiar bracelet on her outstretched hand.

A trace of consternation flashed in the girl's eyes, although she had heard in advance that the other party was also in this port area, but such a quick encounter still made the girl fall into a panic.

Noticing the girl's expression, Lexington smiled slightly.

"Phelps, I remember you"

"I—" The girl didn't dare to look at the blue eyes.

"Are you willing, fight for me again? Just like when I was protected."

"But I—" The girl remembered that day again, and the memories buried in the depths of her memory were once again excavated.

"It's not a tradition of the American Navy to cling to the past," Lexington walked up to the girl and hugged her gently, "and, I've forgiven you."

"Promise me to fight alongside me again, okay?"

Feeling the slightly trembling shoulders of the girl in his arms and the head moving up and down hard, Lexington hugged the girl a little tighter.

"Sister, this idiot"

Behind the corner wall, the girl looked at the two people hugging each other not far away, intending to quietly leave the living room, just two steps, a black figure appeared in front of the girl.

"I heard that there is a newcomer?" Lexington II asked expressionlessly.

"Catch up with my sister in the living room, don't go over and make trouble" Saratoga walked around the other and grabbed the cloak on the other's shoulders with her hand, "Let's go, let's go and play with the company"

"I don't want to go"

"I'm your sister, you have to listen to me!"
