A new ship has been produced and is ready for comissioning.

This new ship is designed by Princess Twilight. When asked about why she wanted to design a new ship, her only reply was that the navy needed a new ship, capable of firing big guns and launch much more aircraft.

This new ship was nothing anypony thought was possible.

The ship has a flight deck of 500m in length, has a width of 150m, capable of carrying 150 aircraft, with 25 inch gun on its sides, has two 8.8cm flak on its front and back( directly below flight deck), capable of carrying 6000 ponies onboard, launching four aircrafts at once.

The command post on the carrier is 60m high and 5m in width and 50m in length. The ship is equiped with 2 CWIS gun on deck, several heavy machine gun beside the 25 inch gun(for anti- aircraft purposes).

It is the largest ship built in the EQN.

Manehatten Harbour, Commissioning hour.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna was the Guest of Honor for the event. Princess Cadance could not make it as she has to deal with Princess Flurry Heart. Prince Shining Armor was able to make and was there just to witness the begining of a new age in naval surface warfare. Everypony in Equestria has heard of this commisioning. Lots of ponies attended the event, including the mane 6.

Shortly after everypony has settled down, Celestis standed at a make shift stand and started to deliver her speech.

"It is the largest ship ever built for its purpose. This maybe only a ship, but who knows what new doors in naval warfare will this ship open. This shall be the begining of a new stage in Equestria naval deterence." Princess Celestia stopped for a moment and got her serious tone and complete the speech," I, Princess Celestia, hereby commission ESS Independence into the Equestrian Navy." As she said that, a bottle of champange slammed into somewhere near the ship's front but below deck.

Everypony started to clap at Celestia's speech. Although it was a short one, it was still recorded and filmed.

There was a huge party at the dock, near where ESS Independence was commission.

This was the best day in my life, Twilight thought.

Twilight was the captain of Independence and was granted permission to bring her friends along for Independence's 'main voyage'.

Independence's main voyage was to sail out the Celestial Sea and out into the unknown. During Independence's 'main voyage', it will be escorted by two, later increased to four, battleships. Namely 2 Iwoa-class, one Yamamotto-class and one Bismarck-class Battleship.

When Twilight was informed that the escort was increased to four battleship, instead of the original two, she asked High Command about the arrangement.

She recieved a letter about the issue a few days later. It was written as follows:

Dear Princess Twilight,
In regards to the extra battleships arrangement, the extra Battleships will ensure the Carrier and those ponies onboard safety out in the open. It will also give more concealment of the carrier's presence. The large Carrier will definatley draw much attension from neighbouring countries, so having more battleships will help prevent any suprise attack the carrier might have.
P.S I personally think the carrier is too big a target, having more battleships will ensure that the carrier is not sunk.
Yours Truly, High Command

Twilight cried while reading the message. She thought that her masterpiece was supposed to be a form of deterence, same with the battleships she had designed based on what she has been through in ww2 but she never thought that the High Command cared more about concealment and firepower the carier possesed, rather than using it for peace keeping operations.

While she was crying silently, she did not realise that her coltfriend has arrived.

Seeing Twilight crying, Sparky walked over and said," Twilight, why are you crying?"

Twilight, instead of saying something, ran into Sparky and used her fore hooves to hug him.

As Sparky was hugging Twilight, Twilight said something but it was quite not understandable from her crying.

Twilight said something like, "They....they....only....want....the....pendence....for....firepower....they...they....don't....dence."

Suprisingly, Twilight said the last few words of the sentence cleary, "They want war, not Independence."

Sparked with sudden realisation, Sparky suddenly started crying too.

They will spend the night crying to sleep in Twilight's Castle.

Author's Notes:

5) Trailer for next chapter: ESS Independence sets sail but get lost in the storm, transfering the carrier and its escorts to a mysterious place. How did they get there? stay tuned to find out.
That is all, General Sparky out.
