Sink the Invincible

(Note: The song is based on 'Sink the Bismarck')

The recent naval exercises proved to be quite intense, especially for the Birkanian side. This year saw the introduction of the Belkalandian dreadnought Invincible, the first class of dreadnoughts after the Birkanian Omen-class, who were until recently the only dreadnoughts in any Strangereal Navy.

In the exercise, the supposedly-unsinkabble Invincible was sent with no escort to the battle, end affectively "sunk" the prode and joy of the Birkanian Navy, the flagship Omen. However, the vessel was hunted down for several days by naval aviation, and ended up being surrounded by elements of the Birkanian 2nd fleet, and sunk by the battleship Upor. Because of her lack of escorts, no Birkanian ship was sunk in this second encounter.

More interestingly, sailors of the Birkanian Navy made up a song that dealt with the memorable exercise.

=============

In May of 2015, the war had just begun
The Belkans had the stealthiest ship that had the scariest guns
Invincible was the mightiest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were lasers big as houses, shells as big as trucks

Out of the cold and foggy night came the Birkanian Omen
And every Birkie sailor he knew and understood
They had to sink Invincible, the terror of the sea
Stop those lasers big as houses, those shells as big as trucks
We'll find the Belkan battleship that's givin' hell to us
We gotta sink Invincible, Birkaine depends on us
Set up the AESA radars, boys, deploy launchers around
When we find Invincible we're gonna mow her down
[...]
The Omen found the Invincible and on that fateful day
The Invincible started firing five hundreds miles away
We're gonna wreck the Invincible was the battle sound
But when the missile fire ceased, the mighty Omen went down
For six long days and weary nights all planes scanned for her trail
Viktor told the Navy: put every ship asail!
Hunt her down in that ocean that's where she's gotta be
Even if half our ships end in the bottom of the sea
We'll find the Belkan battleship...
[ ...]
The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun
Starving, far away from home, Invincible made its run
Birkanian Admiral Krakev said turn the fleets around
We found that Belkan battleship and we're gonna mow her down
The Birkie guns were aimed, guided shells were coming fast
A missile hit the belkans, we knew they wouldn't last
The once-great Belkan battleship limped now pitifully
Sink the Invincible was the battle cry that shook a thousand seas
We found the Belkan battleship t'was givin' hell to us
We had to sink the Invincible, Birkaine depends on us
Set up the AESA radars, boys, deploy launchers around
Yeah we found the mighty Invincible and then we got to mow her down
We found the Belkan battleship...
