Rocky finally made his way back to the Perengrine Falcon as more enemy ships started appearing down the river. She pulled up her anchor, fired up her twin screws. and stared speeding up the river. The enemy warships, a Frigate, a gun boat, and two armored rams, spoted her and opened up with all of their forward facing guns. Shells hit the water and shore all around the ship, but she continued unscathed. The Falcon was heavily armed with: a set of 11-inch smoothbores, a set of 38-pounders, a single massive 15-inch Dahlgren, and a set of 9-inch rifled guns. But this iron clad was also packing an extra punch. On her top deck, there was a large, timble-shaped, stubby casing with a special surprise inside. This turret housed a single 50-pound rifled Parrot gun that had the ability to lob a shell over two miles with accuracy. Slowly, like an old man turning his head, the turret on the Perengrine Falcon rotated. And then the Parrot sang.
