31 Checking The Developments (1/2)
Dariel was visiting the shipyard, he was observing the upgrades done to the ship. Dariel boarded the ship to see what the engineers actually upgraded which made him very excited.
As the Bismarck left the docks Dariel was very excited to see it's progress but after a few minutes Dariel immediately lost interest. The captain and the engineer who saw Dariel's change of mood so the engineer immediately spoke. ” Sir Dariel as you have known that we have done some upgrades to this ship which we believe that will help our naval forces greatly, it will give us the superiority in the seas and oceans. So what have we upgraded you ask, we have upgraded the engine and propulsion system of this ship. ”
Dariel immediately raised his brows like he was doubting and questioning the engineer of his claims.

Seeing Dariel's expression towards his claim the engineer immediately spoke: ” We'll it is better for you to see the performance of this ship rather than hearing it from me.”
The Bismarck started to increase its speed which Dariel wasn't surprised as he knows that the Bismarck has good speed even with its weight. Dariel immediately commented, ” This is getting Boring.”
Hearing Dariel's comment the engineer showed a smile on his face and told Dariel, ” Well Sir Dariel can you guess how fast can this ship go.”
Dariel immediately answered the engineer's question, ” Maybe around 35-43 Knots.” The engineer started to laugh after hearing Dariel's guess.
The engineer immediately asked Dariel to look at the ships gauge. Dariel was not surprised as the gauge showed that the ship was going 28 knots. Dariel immediately told the engineer ” Nothing is special about it, it's acceleration just increased so I give you that.” The engineer still ignored Dariel and told him ” Just wait for it sir just look closely at the speed gauge.”
Dariel was looking at the speed gauge expecting it to stop at 43 knots but after a few minutes, Dariel was dumbfounded when he saw the speed reached up to 50 knots. He thought it was the top speed of the Bismarck but to his surprise, it still continued up to 72 knots (133.344 Km/h or 82.8561 Mph.) Dariel was very surprised as he knows the only fastest speed that the ship in his old world can do was 58 knots which were claimed by the Australian shipyard Incat which they named Francisco.
But what really shock Dariel was the Bismarck was able to move as fast as 72 knots even it weighs in over 50,300 tonnes. Dariel immediately showed his amazement and spoke to the Engineer, ” Well you caught we off guard I never thought that you would be able to increase the speed of this 50-ton ship.” The engineer corrected Dariel about the current weight of the ship, ” Sir this ship is more than 75 tonnes.”
Dariel was dumbfounded again after hearing the current weight of the ship. He immediately asked the engineer, ” What did you do to make this ship that heavy?”
The engineer immediately replied ” we upgraded the armor it can now withstand armor-piercing shells. The deck has also been added with better armor so bombers have no chance of destroying the deck, the main guns we're also upgraded with armor. So this Bismarck can take more damage than before so basically, it's like a tank in the water.”
Dariel congratulated the engineers of the newly upgraded ship, ” Well, it seems you have done an outstanding job, well how about the other ships are they finished with their upgrade too?”
The engineer replied, ” The Iowa will be finishing its upgrade tomorrow, the Yamato will still take 3 days before completion. The 4 destroyers will be finishing their upgrade this afternoon.”
Dariel was happy about the current upgrade of the ships, he is now looking to buy an aircraft carrier as he also needs to conquer naval air supremacy.
