For God's sake, Celestia is NOT a goddess. :ajbemused: She certainly never comes off like that in the actual series.

Plot descrepency about if Celestia's orders were for simple scouting, or search and destroy.

“They weren’t supposed to attack you, just scout you.” Celestia said, how could a seasoned commander like Dash mess that up?
-Ok, so that is covered in-universe.

Tha rainbow trail she leavin near melted the control panels.
-Wait, so Celestia's horn-blast barely scratches the paint, but Rainbow's trail melts the reactor controls through the hull? I must be missing something here, or you got a really interesting explanation coming later.

But I can’t same the same for the rest of you.
-say the same

-The captain seems way too irrational. I could see trigger happy paranoia because of his confusion, but the yelling and screaming at the ponies don't fit to me.

I'm gonna level with you, Slayer and I were both very drunk when we wrote this. :facehoof:
I'm surprised it turned out so well. Infact I think its a miricle it isn't just gibberish.:rainbowhuh:
That being said, now that i'm sober...ish I'll see what I can or cannot do to fix this thing just for you:twilightsmile:

2526439 Ah, so that explains why it's rushed, beyond rushed, it looks like the most impatient person on the planet wrote this and I can't understand like 99%. :pinkiecrazy:

But at the same time the sheer stupidity keeps me entertained, at least when I understand what's happening.

So that's where Liberty got to... Looking for her... Oh well...

You know, if you ever wanna use Liberty in one of your stories it's cool. In the mean time, I'm not online as much anymore on account of school and work.

There was never an Iowa Class named Liberty.

You need editing help... Me me! Pick me!

Battleships don't have sonar and the US Navy doesn't allow alcohol on board.

6220891 she was never finished though.

that’s the firepower of america alright :raritywink:

Is this the USS Liberty incident I keep hearing about?

I know this story is likely abandoned, but I have to say this or it will continue to bug me for at least the next twenty minutes.

1. US Navy Battleships had a literal law that stated they must be named after states.

2. There were two other Iowa-class ships under construction that were never finished that you could have used, USS Kentucky, who would have her bow taken by USS Wisconsin after she beached herself in the 50s and ultimately culminated in her scrapping, and USS Illinois who would be scrapped as well and have their shafts and engines used in four different supply ships.

3. You make it very unclear on the year, but women weren't allowed aboard US surface ships as sailors until the 1970s, and there were no battleships in use by the Navy by the late 70s, as New Jersey was put into mothballs after we left Vietnam. So the lady who just took control of your ship shouldn't exist unless this is the 80s when we reactivated the Iowas. Otherwise she would be a nurse.

4. Liquor has not been allowed aboard a US Navy ship since 1914, and even now a sailor is only allowed 2 beers a day when at sea for more than 45 days. Considering how this guy is the captain of the best class of battleship ever put to sea, the guy would not have reached that rank and been willing to throw it all away for a couple glasses or brandy.

5. Battleships do not have sonar. That belongs on destroyers and cruisers depending on the era.

6. All Batteries firing on ponies, and you didn't immediately turn them into red mush? Bullshit. If this is a WW2 refit Iowa, she has 20mm Oerlikons, 40mm Bofors, and 5"/38 secondaries that basically turned the immediate airspace around them into a huge area of nope for even the bravest pilot in a plane going in excess of 300 miles per hour. Wonderbolts going slower? They'd be a cloud of mist the second they slowed down to attack.

“What happened? Is she pregnant?” Twilight asked worriedly.

WHAT, WHY IS THIS TWILIGHTS FIRST REACTION, IM CRACKING UP, WHAT

please update, i want to see more ponies being screwed by big guns
