章 197: Prelude to Naval Battle

October 28, 1927. 

Somewhere along the Yellow Sea, the 1st Imperial Yamato Fleet stridden across the undulating waves of the sea as they were spearheaded to their designated position under the orders from the high command.

Admiral Yamamoto, the admiral of the first fleet was on the balcony of the bridge of the fleet's flagship, Amagi Class Battlecruiser, peering through his binoculars as the orange glow of the sun backdropped over the horizon, illuminating the rolling seas and blue sky with warm rays. Beside him stood his second in command, executive officer Miyashiro Katsuro who had been watching his admiral from behind for some time now with a smile at the scene unfolding before him containing warships that were sailing alongside them.

He leaned against the railing next to the Admiral who remained silent and observant but seemed more interested than usual in the scenery, and it wasn't long until Katsuro broke the silence to inform him about something.
