Its a cool morning and Grand Admiral Nok has just came up to the sterncastle. It been three days since they sailed off port to reach for his old ship, the Endeavour. Report came that the ship is marooned close to an enemy lighthouse. Since its his old ship, and he is as always eager to engage personally in battle, he commands his small fleet... Lieutenant Paran, the Grand Amiral's adjutant gives orders for a drill...
First Mate O'Brien shapes up his men, as does Captain Hawkins with his Marines....
The two men exchanged words briefly,
and then orders are shout... gunmen at their position...
..and Marines on the masts...
The Admiral gives his next orders to his adjutant ...
...and then turns to observe the manoeuvres of the escort ships.
His plan is to always set sail with two more light destoyer ships, that will break formation, flank the enemy by both port and starboard, bring it in crossfire, and let the flagship finish it off... Drills seem to work well on both the escort ships...
And Admiral Nok as always on the flagship's bow observes the manoeuvres....
The drill is swift and succesful, but for him there is always room to improve... He gives the command for the small fleet to sail forth....
...not the end...
