The Ocean
Taskforce 3
Admiral Fribbit stood on the bridge of the BCN Starhawk, one of the Colonial Navy's aging Kitty Hawk class CVs. He had two tentacles lifted, holding a set of binoculars to his eyestalks as he peered towards the distant speck of land on the horizon.
The fleet was not a big one, a mere single aircraft carrier escorted by six cruisers and a handful of destroyers. Following along behind came another group of ships, primarily a trio of amphibious assault ships protected by air-defense destroyers. Among them steamed two large supply vessels.
Admiral Fribbit squinted and lowered the 'Big Eyes' binoculars. "Contact Taskforce 3.1 and let them know we are within sight of the target. Launch an AWAC to look the island over and then proceed with operations."
From the flight deck of the Starhawk came an E-3 Otter, which climbed to get altitude and then proceeded east towards the island for an overflight. Satellites had indicated no inhabitants or natives, but it was good to be sure.
Taskforce 3.1
Among the amphibious assault ships, the supply vessels slowed down, protected by a pair of destroyers. Soon, the ambhibious ships were overtaking the main taskfore and passing them as the marines onboard readied themselves.
This island would prove to be an extremely valuable asset for further expansion east. Perhaps the Mighty Blub Colony had finally gotten imperialistic.
