On August 15th, I heard engines starting up, and felt warships getting underway. The sensation of pulling away from the pier, from the shore was very tangible. I thought we were fully operational, but on the 31st the Lord rocked me in the morning with an overwhelming sound and vibration. Even as I was asking, “What is this, Lord?”, I knew the answer:
The true main engines were now starting up, and what I had heard before was only some smaller power necessary to get ready and maneuver slowly.
But now there was massive power and thunder, and I could feel the ships leap ahead, cutting through the water. Over the wind noise I hear Him command:
Engage the Main Engines! Full speed, flank speed!
All weapons fully armed and engaged, trigger locks off. All eyes on targets!
