What next? (Story)

USS Springfield, Los Angles class.
December 6th, 2009.
Comander: Lt Cmdr McCrea.
Mission: Sea Trials.
Station: Pearl Harbor.

"Take her to periscope depth XO." McCrea said as the Springfield sailed due west, towards Wake Island.

As the air hissed out, sonar man Jonesey noticed a contact. "Con, sonar. I have one contact, bearing 090, range 350 miles out."

McCrea walked to the sonar room. "Jonesey, what'ch got?" McCrea stood at the door while the sonar technition did his best.

"Sir, the one contact has just turned into a whole fleet. I count 28 ships. Give me a minute sir." Jonesey focused on his consol as the comander watched in silence.

After a few minutes, Jonesey looked up, and said, "Sir, i think we have just stumbled apon a Japanese task force. The same one that attacked Pearl Harbor. I count 6 carriers,2 battle ships,three cruiseres, and 8 tankers."

The comander droped his mug. "Jonsey, tell me your jokeing. That was in '41! This is 2009!"

"Sir i wish i was joking, but im not." Jonsey did multiple checks of the sonar while McCrea went back to the con.

Looking around, the comander didnt understand. He had to be dreaming, right? 'This is no dream.' he thought to himself as he mad his decition. "XO, bring us to flank speed and dive to 250 feet."

The XO, not understanding the order, gave it anyways, and walked over to the captain. "Sir, whats the course?" The skipper pointed to the map.

"Right there, and as soon as we get into position, call the crew to battle stations." The XO went to give the course, and the skipper went back to the sonar station, only to confirm the Japenese task force.
