Ernst rarely left his own "lair," Rhine City. This time, he was headed for East Africa's Pemba Bay Shipyard.
Unlike Ernst's other trips, this inspection of Pemba Bay Shipyard was kept relatively low-key, with no media arranged and no grand welcoming ceremony.
May 26, 1915, 10:00 a.m.
Ernst arrived in Pemba City.
Having received the news well in advance, Aaron, the chief designer of Pemba Bay Shipyard, personally led the way to where the aircraft carrier was moored.
At 10:40, Ernst's motorcade arrived at the East African naval port in Pemba Bay, where the Eagle Strike aircraft carrier lay quietly in her berth.
Looking at the sea monster moored in the East African naval port, Ernst was immensely excited. Although this domestically built aircraft carrier looked somewhat unlike the image of an aircraft carrier in his mind.
Still, Ernst understood. This was not the twenty-first century, after all. For East African researchers to create such a sea monster without any reference to follow was already no easy feat.
Aaron introduced it from beside him. "Your Majesty, this is the aircraft carrier we named Eagle Strike according to your instructions."
Ernst was greatly satisfied with the term "Eagle Strike"—the eagle struck across the vast sky, fish swam through the shallow depths, and all living things under the frosted heavens contended for freedom.
In his previous life, the Far East Empire had named a certain series of missiles "Eagle Strike," so there was no conflict with East Africa giving the same name to an aircraft carrier.
Moreover, an aircraft carrier relied on carrier-based aircraft as its means of attack, making Eagle Strike a fitting name. Paired with the next line, fish swam through the shallow depths, Ernst felt that East Africa ought to reserve a name for its submarines
