6213A. Please welcome Fort Drum the Concrete Battleship! The First Installation type ShipGirl.
6213B. How the fuck did they do it? You know what! I rather not know. I've seen enough Magical Shipgirl Bullshit that I rather not know how. - Admiral Knight.
"Hey Boss Man!" I heard someone called out my attention and saw Yang!Iowa approaching. We were all in Disney Land Japan and by we I meant every single personnel and shipgirl under my command at Corregidor Naval Base and their family. I had manage to reserve the entire theme park for the day for ourselves. Perks of having a high rank in both the navy and army.
"What's up?" I asked while glancing at Bataan and Leyte who were rounding the smaller girls at the more child friendly rides. They were fine I thought before fully focusing on the battleship.
"Well some of the men at Logistics are quite worried if they should be here. I mean they are thankful for the break and all expense paid trip but they worried about the Naval Base not being tended to."
"Tell them not to worry about it that much." I waved the worries with a smile. "Before we left I did call in favors to watch the Base for the duration of our vacation."
"And who are they? If you don't mind me asking Boss Man."
I smiled.
"A Few Friends."

Colonel Gift Sumagaysay sighed as he stack the last of the papers on top of his friends desk. It had been a hectic few days since he and his men arrived. Recalling the time they arrived and saw the entirety of the Admiral's Office was a sea of paper. He swore he could swim in it.
No wonder his friend wanted to leave for a vacation. The amount of papers was staggering. Could have killed anyone else. He prayed to the person who had to receive the load his condolence.
Now with most if not all the clutter was cleaned and organized the colonel finally had time to look around the more important documents he has allowed access. The Shipgirl Rooster.
It took a good few minutes for him to find it among the books lining his friends shelf but he found it.
What he found was impressive. Each girls in the book had a list of major sorties and achievements under their name. Various notes both hand written and printed adorn some pages. But there was something worrying. Most of the list consist of Shipgirls who were either Destroyer or smaller. Heck his friend only had a single Heavy Cruiser and Three Carriers and only one of them had a very impressive record!
He then noted that there were only two Battleships in the rooster. Hiei and Yang!Iowa and one of the two had a note that says sortieing was forbidden unless in extreme emergencies.
He decided his friend needs another Battleship.
"Let's summon a Battleship!" That got the attention of the soldiers in the room. They glance at one another unsure as what their officer's sudden outburst.
"Summon Sir?" One of them asked hesitantly.
"You heard me right. This base needs more Fire Power what more than another battleship!"
"Aren't we not allowed to used the Summoning Chamber?"
"We don't need to summon it from the Summoning Chamber! We can summon it else where."
They didnt like this plan. But they didnt have the power to say otherwise.
"Wasn't there that 'Concrete Battleship'? I forgot the name... Fort Bass? For Cymbals?"
"Fort Drum" Another soldier supplied before getting elbowed by his fellow. It was too late.
"Thats IT!" he pointed at the soldier and laugh. "Prep the boats and get some resources! We are going to Fort Drum." And with a spring in his step the colonel left the office.
The soldiers sighed before they made to follow. They all knew this was going to be messy.

A Few Hours Later at Fort Drum...
It took a good few minutes for them to convince the remaining Faeries at the arsenal to allow them to summon at Fort Drum but they somehow succeeded in it.
With the circle drawn and the resources in place they had only on thing left to do. Summon a Battleship.
"So I'm just going to stretch my hand and focus on the resources and shout summon?" the colonel asked of the faeries that came with them. She nodded and gave a thumps up. It was close to affirmation he could get.
"Then lets do this!" He exclaimed before focusing everything he has on the gathered pile. He was picturing it. An image was coming into his head. And with a deep breath he bellowed.
"SUMMON!"
There was flash of blinding light. It dazed the gathered soldiers. Spots where in their vision. And as the light dissipated.
They had done it.
Silver hair flowing in the wind.
Icy blue eyes staring back at them with pride.
A black BDU akin to their own.
And a rigging of three 16 inch guns ready to unload against the enemy.
With a confident smirk she introduce herself.
"I am USS Fort Drum. Tell me. Are you my Master?"
The Colonel couldn't be more proud.
...
Somewhere in Disney Land, Admiral Knight had the sudden urge to hunt someone down and kill.
No one bother why he had a grim face for the rest of the day. They didnt bother since he manage to toss Yang!Iowa of all people into submission.
