The USS Tecumseh sat in the NYC harbor. Prototype with new technologies, regenerative armor, replication technology for ammunition and food supply, The hull is made from polymer titanium alloy able to absorb up to a million joules of energy in one hit. The final touches are put on the paint to prepare it for the crew selected to man it. The AI computer brain of the ship connected to the secure net to select the crew.
The Captain list was long but one name stood out to the AI... Captain Carl Cullen, Summa Cum Laude from the Naval Academy in 2014 with a BS in nanotechnology. Selected.
Engineers, Calvin Smythe, graduate from MIT in robotics. Elizabeth Tanaka, AI linguistics. Selected.
Orders for each crew member selected got sent ... 35 officers 65 enlisted.
Sensors for the active and passive radar and sonar passed the data to the AI instantly. The fuel system is a fission/fusion reactor, prototype. The "waste" from the fusion reactor is reused as material for the replicators.
The stream of data from the quantum net processed rapidly, anomalies have been detected on the quantum level. Something from another time, another place flashing as being in the Atlantic. First mission on this maiden voyage is to find the anomalies and investigate.
The energies in the anomalies do not appear natural.
