Turn 1 Battle Report - Sector 41

Dearest Yuki,

Since the start of the war, my time on the Shigure has been very eventful.  We were given the honor of being the sole ship tasked with capturing this sector.  We charged in like a Samurai of old only to find no German opponents in wait.  A loud cheer rose from the crew until our spotters sighting enemy air formations.  We cheered again as our supporting fighter squadrons rose to meet the enemy.  It was a glorious display as our fighters rapidly drove the enemy bombers from the sky.  We were never even threatened, though we did have to use the anti-air guns on the ship a few times, just to make sure.

I am sure I will return to you soon, victorious over our foes.
