Cannon Fire, and Two Acquaintances

"A flare?" Luke thought for a moment and came up with a possibility.

Bang!

There was another loud sound, and the battleship shuddered along with it.

It was much louder than the first shot, almost as if the main cannon had been fired.

Was it firing at an aircraft? Unlikely.

The main cannon was very powerful, but not designed to fire at aircraft. They were usually used to attack army formations on land, or maybe… other ships?

Luke suddenly thought of the submarine, and a certain cook who was more than a cook.

Was Laybecker crazy enough to bombard the submarine with the battleship's main cannon?

If he succeeded, it would be the last sea vessel that the Montana would sink.

A moment later, the battleship shook again, and there was a huge explosion.

Luke felt that he had guessed right.

He could vaguely hear a lot of people cheering, even from the cargo hold.
