"No, this is impossible. Absolutely impossible!"
Admiral Morrison aboard the Bismarck-class Dreadnought roared, nearly losing his mind.
"That was a Norinkoden-class Destroyer!"
He was starting to wonder whether he was dreaming.

This stunned the latter's captain and left the surrounding captains staring in
