I've detected a friendly transport convoy.Eh!?
Would a transport convoy really come here?FurutakaNo, those silhouettes in front are enemy ships.FubukiNo, I'm pretty sure they're enemies though!?I knew they were enemies!!Ehhhhh...Flagship AobaEh!?They're firing on us!!Furutaka sunk.Ah, they're enemies!!I will use my light to distract them!!
I am Aoba!KinugasaCape Esperance*flash*You’ll get fired on if you stand out so much like that!Please watch this!!
THIS IS AOBA!
THIS IS AOBA!*flash*Hatsuyuki*flash*Aoba retreating!!I freaking told you!!GyaaaaaNow, let's confirm it!Counter attack.GyaaaaaaaaaaaNow escape, quickly!!Furutaka, what are you talking about!? Those are friendly ships! Look clo-…What!? She still thinks those are friendly ships!? Rear Admiral Gotou thought the (American fleet) ships they sighted were friendly ships from Rear Admiral Joujima's supply convoy and flashed the Aoba's identification signal. She got bombarded because of it.This is friendly fire because we can't see each other in the dark!No, (I can't see them well, but probably) they're friendly.If you're that suspicious, then we'll just have Fubuki-chan go and take a closer look!!That overly friendly enemy ship keeps coming closer…. What are they!? Too scary!! Don't come any closer!Fubuki-chan!!!!FubukiSunk
(actual history)It was all Aoba's fault...
