Chapter 1
“Spike, do you already triple check our list?” Twilight Sparkle voice rung out from the hotel room they were staying.
Spike, who was in the middle of packing and checking their luggage quickly replied, “Yes, Twilight, I’m coming on the fourth now.”
Twilight nodded, “Okay then, just making sure.” She then turned towards the rest of the crew, “Applejack, you got everything?”
“Eeyup, all fine on me, nothin’ to worry ‘bout,” Applejack said after closing the zipper of her own luggage.
Twilight turned towards Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash who were in the middle of packing their own, “And you girls?”
“All good!” Rainbow exclaimed.
“I have everything,” Fluttershy said with her usual soft tone.
Twilight then turned towards Pinkie. She sat patiently at the bed with her own bags while dangling her hindlegs as she hummed a few tune. Twilight stared with a confused look on her, “Uhh, Pinkie?”
“All is a-okay, including the party cannon!” Pinkie cheerfully said. Twilight blinked, silently wondering if Pinkie’s bag had an enhancement for stashing a lot of Party related stuff, including the cannon, knowing Pinkie however, Twilight just shrugs it off.
Twilight finally turned to the last member, “How about yours Rarity?”
“Everything is as neat and dashing as I am,” Rarity said with the usual posh tone while taking up somewhat regal stature.
Rolling her eyes, Twilight turned to her list that followed in her magical grasp, ticking every checkboxes but the last one, which are her fourth check on her luggage. She turned to her number one assistant, “Spike?”
Spike merely replied with his thumbs up. Twilight smiled as she ticked the final checkbox, “Alright, I think we all ready to go.”
All of them carried their luggage outside the hotel room with Twilight once again with her list, ticking the checkbox as each of her friend made it out. Afterwards, Twilight trotted out of the room with the door closing behind her, she also didn’t forget to turn all of the lights off. The hotel bellhop comes and carried their luggage as the rest of the Mane six headed to the reception to finally check out. The six ponies happily chats with each other as they made their way out of the hotel and head towards where ponies lined up for Taxi. The cabbie pony that helped Rarity towards where the Fashion Week was participating offered his cab to the group on which all of them happily agreed on.
“Where to girls?” The cabbie pony asked.
“The train station please,” Rarity said as she was the last to get in the cab.
“Right on it!” The pony said as he makes sure his passengers are well seated before trotting off.
“Aah, how I would be missing you Manehattan,” Rarity said as she slumped on her seat, staring towards window.
“Aw, it’s okay, Rarity, I’m sure we’ll get back here sooner or later,” Twilight assured the other unicorn.
Rarity sighed, “I hope so.”
Suddenly, Pinkie shot up from her seat as her tail twitched rather uncontrollably, “TWITCHY TAIL!!”
“Pfft, Pinkie, we’re inside, nothing will hit us while we’re here.” Rainbow Dash said, crossing her hooves.
“Uhh, it could’ve hit the pony upfront ya know,” Applejack said with a raised hoof.
Concerned, Rarity turned towards the front window where the pony is still pulling. “Ah, I think it won’t hit them too darlings, well I hope so…”
Pinkie sits back on her seat while looking around the window for any object to fall, as she did so the group remained silent while also looking for a potential victim of the notorious Pinkie Sense. After seeing nothing that would fall any moment, the group all but Pinkie slouch to their seat sighing in relief.
“Well, I guess this is the first time Pinkie Sense didn’t work,” Twilight said with a smug smile.
Twilight triumphant smile came to an end when suddenly a lot of the ponies, most notably those who were near the Manehattan coast, screamed. The cab they were in too suddenly stopped which made the occupants to stumble inside and fell on each other.
“You girls alright?” Twilight said as she sat back to her seat after untangling herself off from Rainbow Dash.
“We’re alright,” The rest called out in unison and that includes the muffled Spike who was at the bottom of the pile.
Twilight opened the cab doors, looking around. She noticed that a squad of the local guards ran towards the coast, fighting over herds of ponies scrambling away. She turned towards the cabbie pony, “What happened?”
“I don’t know ma’am, but it seems the guard will take care of it. The only problem would be the heavy traffic due to the herd of ponies in the way.” The cabbie pony said, looking towards the filled road of Manehattan.
“Girls, we’re going to find out what happened,” Twilight then turned towards the cabbie pony. “Can you go to the train station and wait for us there?”
“No problem ma’am, good luck!”
The Girls and also Spike raced towards the coast, following the guards, they also have to pass through the herd with effort, Rainbow and Fluttershy however merely flew above to avoid the crowd. The girls and Spike eventually made it where a group of guards is currently quarantining the port. There was also a large of ponies with their mouth agape and staring in absolute awe.
Twilight, Spike and the girls couldn’t make out what were they staring at, but something definitely is up. Again with effort they moved past through the crowd of ponies and take a look at the scene. Their mouth was soon agape of what they saw. Pinkie was the first to shake out from the shock and gleefully giggled.
“See, my Pinkie Sense never disappoint!”
Twilight blinked, twice, she then closed her mouth as she takes in the scene in front of her.
It was a ship, perhaps almost Two-Hundred and Forty meters in length, perhaps more, and with a width of thirty six meters, the massive ship currently floating with all of its glory just two miles off the shore of Manehattan coast. Twilight or the girls never saw a ship with such size on their entire life, the fact that they seemingly armed with two VERY large cannon with the barrel bulging through the larger metal cylinder like house where they supposedly protect the rest of the cannon body. The fact that it doesn’t have two, but eight cannons that were also surrounded by the cylinder like metal house with four of these cannons each placed both on the front and the rear of the massive ship.
But it wasn’t the only thing the ship had, there in ship’s side; three cylinder like house that contained the two cannons each, along with a couple of other short barreled cannon stood. Twilight presumed that the other side also had the same placement of these weapons, she couldn’t help but to wonder who built and for what purpose this ship is. According to her limited knowledge of sea vessel, the massive ship could be classify as a Warship and due to the fact of how well armed and massive the ship is, it was most likely that is more than just a Warship. It was a ship purely made only for battle.
A Battleship? Twilight thought to herself, she came that up since no other vessel would ever come to a close on such a massive and well-armed ship.
“Alright everypony, please clear off the area around the port until an official statement are to be given.” The guard’s commander said, instructing the crowd to disperse.
Many murmur and whisper comes from the crowd, all of them refer to the massive ship that just somehow dropped from the skies and manage to stay afloat while at the same time washing off a very large amount of waters to the coast.
“Sir, their Royal Highness is coming in here now,” One of the guards shouted and points towards two chariots being pulled by the Princess’s respective guard. The crowd, quickly disperse to make way for their Princesses chariots to land.
“Princess Celestia!” Twilight called out as the two Royal Princess chariots touched down just beside them. Both Princess Celestia and Luna were surprised to see the bearer of the elements to be here.
“Twilight, why what a surprise to see you,” Princess Celestia said as she walked off her chariot.
Princess Luna shortly followed with her own greetings, “Ah, it is great to see you all again.”
All of the ponies except Twilight bowed. Seeing this, Princess Celestia cleared her throat, “Raise my little ponies, I am here only to see what had occurred, so please continue on your day.”
The crowd of ponies stood up, reluctantly leaving the area while murmuring. Both of the Royals then turned towards the local guard commander, “Commander, please report in,” Princess Celestia commanded with her usual motherly voice.
The commander saluted before lowering down again to address the situation, “Princess, many eyewitness reports that this massive ship suddenly appeared from the skies and crashed down on the shore, that resulted on a small wave of water to wash the beaches but thankfully nopony was hurt.”
“I see, is there anything else from this…ship, Commander?” Princess Celestia said, looking towards the massive ship.
The commander cleared his throat, “Well, your Highness, the fact the ship is heavily armed and not aiming towards the populace and also not a single being was on the deck. We can assume that the ship have no crew or does not intend to do harm.”
“So no demand or whatsoever?” Princess Luna chimed in as she stared at the commander. He merely gulped, seemingly uneasy.
“No, not at this time your Highness.”
The two Princesses alongside the six bearers and also Spike, looked towards the massive ship seemingly anchored at the shores, its sheer size is enough to intimidate and amaze any who stared up to this metal beast.
Twilight cautiously walked up to the Princess, “What do we do now, Princess?”

I say Yamato has that title of Bismark.
But the single chapter makes me not read this.
Lots of grammer errors. But a good story. The errors are more flow related and a couple missing things like "the" taxi or "a" taxi. Now the sequel should be twilight and friends get gifted the ship.

Bismark and Yamato were great and powerful ships, but imo the title King/Queen of the sea is reserved for the "Grand Old Lady" HMS Warspite. She served in 2 world wars and has the most battle honours of any ship in the Royal Navy.
Alright what happens next? This isn't a one shot story is it?
9588082
Texas can claim that to and was in every theater in WW 2
9588190
Also we don't have kings
Yeah... but we all know how humble we are

One intriguing start, in special the fact that Bismarck came without a crew at all (Twilight Zone/X-Files theme...)...
)
Personally, i would think that it would it fits better if the ship came from a fog bank rather than dropping from the sky! (it is more Twilight Zone-ish!
But is the fic really complete as tagged? Because Twilight's final question is a good one.
Even if we dismiss how studying the Bismarck would advance Equestrian technology, military *and* otherwise, a lot... the simple fact that Equestria now have such a battleship would be a major status quo breaking event - how would possible allies and enemies react to such event (which will be dependent of when in the timeline the arrival of the Bismarck happen... post-Tirek? post-Storm King invasion? post-Changeling reformation?).
And relevant (first video of a series of four):

Yeah i didn't read because it is so short.
Desperate here, just woke up, logged on. If I'm rambling, do apologize as I haven't got the energy to stay awake.

Bismarck and Yamato, aah how lovely ship they are. After their destruction, it was a sign for the end of the Battleship era and now enters the Aircraft Carrier to rule the Sea. Bismarck on my opinion, WAS the King of the Sea before the Aircraft Carrier takes his stead, due to the fact that DURING that time, Bismarck was the greatest ship ever made and the most advanced one. Sure, Bismarck's position as the greatest Battleship ever built was taken by the later Battleship Iowa and Yamato. I'll say Bismarck still held the position in my heart, despite him ruling for a short time.
Oh and the fact that I'd say Bismarck was a 'He' than a 'She', I was referring to the statement made by the Captain of the Bismarck. He insisted on everyone calling the ship 'He' because he claimed the ship was unsinkable and how baddass the ship is.
Alas, he didn't factor in the new superior power of the Skies.

9588138
Sequel? *Nervous laughter*
9588568
That is also an option.
But seriously, it is an interesting set-up... after all, the Bismarck still need to become the Royal Equestrian Bismarck.
So the ship is unmanned? Thats a bit of a bummer.
This is too interesting to only have one chapter
Wasnt bad but wasnt great either, lots of missed used words and what not.
9588568
Well Captain Lindemann sadly had to learn that no ship is unsinkable. (the Kriegsmarine had no luck with most of the capitalships - Graf Spee, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Tirpitz, Bismark, Prinz Eugen, Armiral Hipper)
Btw how will the ponies operate a ship that is build by humans. You know we have hands, so the Bismark would need some serious retrofit. Not to forget the industry that is needed to do so, a drydock big enough, factories for the ammunition (5 different calibers) and the fuel. And they have to learn a new language, because everything on the ship is in german (controls, manuals ect.). So this will be a heck of a job for Equestria.
You have some problems with run on sentences, and with switching tenses (past-present) randomly.
Still I like it. (definitely better than the last WW2-related fic I read.)
9588190
Indeed.
I wrote a fic of Twilight bearing witness to a magical recreation of the music video. It was taken down because I included the entire song, but it's still readable on FanFiction.net, just search Twilight Sparkle Listens To Sabaton.
