TWITTER: twitter.com/planefagARCHIVE: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Kant-O-Celle%20QuestIts 0745, you've got your pants half-on, half-off, a gorgeous brunette with a great figure is doing her best to turn the metaphorical comparison of Japanese beauty with cherry blossoms into a literal one and your leg and head and fucking everything hurt hurt HURTS.Also, you have a few hours to plan a major carrier battle that might significantly effect the battle for the Pacific. It's going to be One Of Those Days. As Yamato continues to turn a lovely shade of pink, face hidden behind her hands, the door opens to reveal a rumpled, harried Wainwright tapping a clipboard against one thigh and carrying a five-foot long breaker bar over his left shoulder. “Naaah.....” his voice trails off as he takes in the scene. “I. Uh. I'm interrupting-” he stops halfway through turning to leave and swivels back to face you, his hand flexing on the breaker bar. “Wait, where the hell is Naka?” “Uhm,” you begin.“What the hell are you doing with all these girls?” Wainwright demands, tapping the breaker bar against his shoulder as he catches sight of Yamato's pastel panic. >You're a doctor-type person kinda-sorta sometimes, right? Do I have permission to, uh, get the hell out of bed and go do things? >Do you have the authority to scare up a Vicodin or something?

So I've been busy with life and with a few big projects for KCQ that probably won't come to fruition anytime soon, so until then here's some Chris Pr- I mean Hate developing mutual respect with his furry charges.
Planefag, British shipgirls bullying Russian shipgirls when?
>>40953826Thank you Pixel.
>>40953826
>>40953581Bentus has arrived.
>>40953826I love their tiny hats
>>40953826kek
>>40953826I'm curious what a pre-1920's modernization Arizona's clothing would look like to you pixel.More conservative clothing? A long dress? Different hat?How the fuck do birdcage masts even work.
The reason I crossboard is to remind myself that we're all the same. Everyone's batshit so no one is.

Don't mind me, just posting ships. Great White Fleet visits San Francisco, c. May 1908
>>40953864/wowsg/ please leaf
>>40953864... That is mildly disturbing.>>40953871Wonderful image! Keep it up /k/ripple.
More info on the Great White Fleet. We'll probably have to kill some of these ships one day.
>>40953900Alot of those girls fought honorably in the Spanish American War.Why are they coming back as enemies now?
>>40953912The corruption of ages, I wager.
>>40953900>We'll probably have to kill some of these ships one day.Why?
>>40953912>Why are they coming back as enemies now?because all the other ironclads are doing it.Peer pressure, man.
>>40953942They'll probably be abyssal girls.USS Wyoming (BB-32), ca., 1918
>>40953900Can we wake up Olympia and just send her to talk to them instead?Please?
>>40953826Awesome.
>>40953912Some of them were scrapped or used as target practice for naval aircraft.
>>40953581>I'm improvising. Do you have the authority to scare up a Vicodin or something? My everything is fucking killing me right now.
>>40953859Never thought of it, would definitely need some time and research/study before I can get back to you on that one.
>>40953581>>You're a doctor-type person kinda-sorta sometimes, right? Do I have permission to, uh, get the hell out of bed and go do things?Damn it, Planefag, I have work later this morning and will be missing most of this.>>40953826Top kek Pixel. Now do one with Settle sandwiched between Shoukaku and Arizona.
>>40953955I really want to visit her.*Navy Hymn plays softly in background*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piOYjQJd974
>>40953826Ahahaha. I am sure Hate would likely confirm that is how he trains them.
>>40953839As soon as I finish my write-faggotry, I hope you like HMS Belfast!
>>40953955Well, unless this world has gotten it's shit together and fixed Olympia to prevent her from sinking into her own berth, that may be dififcult...She might be quite unhappy.
>>40953993he might deny it and say he has nothing in common with them so he can't relate like that.
I guess I'll just leave this here.
>>40953992>Oklahomaoh shit, I forgot she sank on her way to the breakersplease don't tell me we're going to have an Abyssal Ok sail into Pearl and fucking nuke it
Now for something slightly different. HMS Queen Elizabeth!
>>40954040glorious
Working on some sidestory stuff, pic not directly related.What are some smaller kinds of abyssals that could show up on a river instead of an open ocean? The torpedo rams would be one example, but I was thinking even smaller.
>>40954029Shes an old girl, she knows she won't be afloat forever...don't let her become one of those....THINGS
>>40954044Warspite's better.

>>40954058civil war gunboats/monitors/early ironclads
And now HMS Rodney! She, along with her sister ship HMS Nelson had an interesting arrangement with all her main weapons forward.
>>40954043I doubt she'd hold that as a grudge, given that Hornet suffered similar failure-to-fix and came back fine.
>>40954058Monitor and Merrimac.
>>40954072>Nelsol and Rodnolftfy
>>40954067Just for you, anon! HMS Warspite refuelling at Port Victoria, Seychelles; 28th June, 1942.
>>40954067Warspites gonna be an Abyssal son.You don't treat a war ship like the bongs did an expect to come out unscathed.
>>40954040This thread gets better and better.
>>40954090"England expects every Anon to do his duty."
>>40954072No, it is m understanding that drugs were legal back then but that still doesn't excuse those failures of engineering.
>planefag intends to run on saturdays>fourth of julyOh boy
>>40954069Why so salty anon?
>>40953930they're barely older than kongou
>>40954106Mate, my hometown only has one ship named after it (at current time). And said ship had a shit life.My home town's only ship will come back as an abyssal.

>>40954083Hornet was sunk to prevent capture thoughOklahoma was essentially revived via what could be considered necromancer magic to ships, and then committed suicide on the way to be scrapped during a very convenient storm....
>>40954131Seeing the Weather forecasters is calling for rain/thunderstorms then, Planefag might have the only fireworks I'll get to see that night.

>Arizona about to be launched wearing nothing but a slightly too small stars and stripeswhat a hussy someone draw Settle seeing this in a history book or something and Arizona getting all flustered and taking the book

>>40954193What about the SMS Konigsberg?
>>40954241That's how destroyers are born. They grow up into battleships and carriers.

>>40954262kinky things
>>40954311Is that how lolis and chibis get made?
I wonder if we'll ever meet the eggheads who've been poring over every scrap and fragment of Abyssal wreckage
So let me get this straight.Arizona is a standard-type battleship.Nevada was the first standard type, with the Colorado's being the final ones.Does that mean that all of the standard type ships from Nevada until Colorado will look similar to Arizona, just with minor differences?We get an entire fleet of small chested, fragile looking BB girls?how the fuck does this work?
>>40954288>Don't forget the champagne soaking the flag and dripping down her everything.anon, that might be the lewdest thing I have ever readGET ON IT PIXELFAG
>>40954335Thats not the way it works. Ships of the same class will look similar. Thats it.
>>40954262The eldritch abomination bites back.
>>40954359Sometimes, only sometimes. Shokaku and Zuikaku are nothing alike after all.
>>40954361kinky
>>40954359Thing is, most of the standard types were more similar to each other than the individual ships of sone other classes.
>>40954359ship families tend to have common traits; such as the Akatsuki's being very adorable and prone to hats.Even the baby of the Takao family, Choukai is pretty cute/hot.>>40954375Correct as there's some visible differences among some families as well.

These don't really look that much in common with Arizona
>>40954380I dunno about you, but I'd gladly wear the evidence of love-bites from, say, Yamato.
>>40954324Sure, why not.
>>40954262
>>40953942All of those ships are Abyssals now, mate.
>>40954029Least people have tried, she'll at least know that much, sure she'd love a little action after 90 years of just sitting around.And she knew this day would come.
>>40953955I'd imagine she'd be a very prim and proper sort of woman--the sort who'd have to fashion her hair in a bonnet before setting out to sea, kinda like the old illustrations of Lady Columbia.
>>40954442keep in mind that most fanartist aren't that good at ship details/family traits as the official bunch.

>>40954487that's just one artist compared to a bunch others.
"On the bed, cuddling another ship. We traded places because she's exhausted and I have work to do.""Get me some painkillers."
>>40954478I mean, the theme is rather constant
You stare blearily at Wainwright, trying to process the oil-stained jeans combined with the half-buttoned dress shirt. “Uh. You. Wainwright.” He glowers. “Very good. Now where the hell is my patient?” You jerk your thumb at the bed, where Arizona is clinging tightly to the little blanketed bundle that is Naka. Wainwright studies the fuzzy cocoon before turning a quizzical look upon you. “Long story,” you say fuzzily. “Listen, you think-”“And who's Miss Cardiac Arrest here?” he says, tilting his head at Yamato, who seems to be in the process of smothering herself as you fumble to buckle your pants. “Uh, that's kind of class-”The hefty breaker bar comes down on the padded seat of the guest chair hard enough to make it bounce.“-AMATO MISS YAMATO HOLD FIRE CHILL OUT Jee-sus,” you snap back. “Just don't tell anyone or Yamato - I mean Goto will - I-” you grab your head in both hands and take a deep, stabilizing breath, trying not to cry. “Wainwright, my leg and head and everything is hurting like a motherfucker so if they let you into the medication cabinet, I'm begging you, *get me something.*”
>>40954335the game makers used a bunch of artists, some decent, some potato.sometimes a class got split up and drawn by more than one artist, and pic related happens.basically shipsluts can look like anything as long as it's moe.
He does a decent impression of a fish for a few seconds - and then sighs, sagging as he does so. “Yeah, sure. Just... wait here.” You manage to get most of your underclothes on by the time he gets back - uniform slacks and undershirt. Your uniform jacket is so rumpled and dirty that you can't bear to put it on. Wainwright returns in a few minutes with two pills and a plastic cup. “Here,” he says, dumping the pills into your hand. He's opening the door to the bathroom before you can call out a warning. He's met with a truly rousing shriek of terror followed by something impacting the door with Toyota-tier impetus, sending him reeling within an ace of being knocked on his ass. He blinks. “Uh-”“N-N-NEVER W-W-W-ALK IN ON A L-L-LADY!” Yamato stammers through the door.“Uh... all due respect, lady, you're fully dressed and-”“TH-THATS NOT THE P-P-POOOINT!”
>>40954487Yea, I would say cute.https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2050212?tags=choukai_%28kantai_collection%29
>>40954559The hell is wrong with this girl.
>>40954578She's very sheltered.
You just pop the big pills in your mouth and manage to dry-swallow them painfully down your parched throat, wincing as the huge oblong bastards gouge their way down your gullet. Wainwright turns a sidelong glance at you, pointing to the door and mouthing 'really?'You shrug and shake your head, deciding to change the topic to something more fathomable. “Uh, what's with the breaker bar?” “Classified,” he sniffs. “Ship-girl maintenance?” You raise an eyebrow. “Fixing a tire? Gonna change her oil, too?”“You're the one using your dipstick, from the looks of it,” Wainwright shoots back with a glare. You snort, massaging your head as you wait for the painkillers to kick in. “A little protective, are we?”“Says the guy who almost got his arms pulled off and beaten to death with 'em becu-” “THANK, YOU, MARINE,” you say, pauses loaded with sarcasm. “But seriously, just what the hell does Naka have that you're gonna crank with that thing?” Wainwright opens his mouth - then bites his lip. “That was low,” he mutters as he relaxes his grip and lets a thousand great penis jokes fly away untold. “I've got my own marine to practice on,” you explain. “So what's with it?”He smirks at you. “Admiral, you're the first one with the balls to ask.” He seems amused by this. “It's not a breaker bar. It's a sleepy stick. Lay it up someone's head, they take a nap.” He pulls up his untucked shirt to reveal the blued butt of an M9 in a crossdraw holster tucked against his belly. “Maybe a long nap.”
>>40954578pent up sexual frustration
>>40954578dude walked in on her in the bathroom, so it's sort of justified
>>40954578She's a hikki m8.
You squint at him. “Still worried?”“As you should be,” he retorts. “Naka keeps giving her bodyguard the goddamned slip, and once she's discharged it'll be damn near impossible.” “How close *is* she to being discharged?” “Eh,” he says, waggling his hand up and down in midair. “It's not like her keel was broken, but she was basically gutted damn near to the waterline where those torpedoes blew. She can walk around okay - even thinks she's hiding the pain, little shitbird - and she doesn't technically need a hospital bed anymore, but I'm keeping her here for observation. Make sure her bandages are changed regularly, so she doesn't get an infection or anything.” You lean back in the guest chair, enjoying its abundant comfyness. “How long will she be in ordinary, you think?” His expression takes a set like concrete. “Four to five weeks, I should think. They heal fast, but she needs a *lot* of structural reinforcement.” You give him a long, searching stare, just long enough to convey that you think he's lying to your face, then nod slowly. “You're the expert,” you state, and leave it at that. “Now, uh-” you tap your head. “How long am *I* in ordinary?” Wainwright shrugs helplessly. “I was a medic, Admiral. This brain surgery shit is beyond me. Why don't we see your doctor?” “Lead on.”
>>40954455Not likely, many of them might be, but some might have refused the call or did the spiritual equivalent or rolling over and going back to bed.And even the Abyssals could have some problems of their own.>Abyssal Spanish and American veterans from the Spanish American War era are constantly trying to one up one another in kills because some grudges never die.
>>40954578Sheltered, virginal battleship.
>>40954598I'm more asking in general. But yeah.
>>40954578she never leaves port
>>40954510>A Russian, a Japanese, and an American all head out for a night on the townThis sounds like the setup for a dad joke or a raunchy grandpa story.
Wainwright leads you at a considerately slow gait to the office of your surgeon, who sits you down and calls you a raving fucking moron for not seeking immediate medical attention when you first started to suffer headaches. You think about your little constellation of orbiting headache-inducers, starting with Hate and ending with Hate, for he is the alpha and omega of Pains In Your Skull, and snicker. This does not endear the doctor to you. He explains that the surgery was thankfully simple and quick, as such things go, but until the little capillaries in your brain heal up you need to take it easy, cut down on the caffeine and above all, keep your blood pressure down. This last bit inspires a giggle that starts a landslide. Wainwright helps you limp out of the room as you wail with laughter, pursued by the Dark Terrible Stare of the Physician Scorned. He helps you as far as the guest lobby before pausing. “I ought to get back up there,” he says apologetically, clearly not wanting to leave Naka unguarded for too long. “Think you'll be okay?”“I'll bully a Sergeant into giving me a ride,” you tell him. “Call someone,” he says. “The doc wasn't kidding when he said you need an escort; you might not be steady on your feet for a day or two. And if you keel over a-”“I'll press my fucking life-alert button so the nice big lads in the white coats will come and fix my fucking hip,” you say, shoving him good-naturedly. “Get the fuck out of here, Marine.”
>>40954628>Mikasa and Aurora get in a drunken brawl with eachother>Olympia punches a random Spaniard in the face
Wainwright snorts, and gets. You hobble into the lobby to find none other than Corporal Hate asleep in one of those awful little guest chairs, head lolling against the wall behind him, fast asleep. He's wearing only an OD green tank top, his uniform shirt covering Hornet, who's lying with her body across four chairs, head pillowed on Hate's lap. You turn and look out the glass doors of the base hospital to see thirty-odd corgis sitting and staring at Hate woefully, their sad, soulful eyes begging for breakfast. Once you open that door the horde will be unleashed, and your quiet escape spoiled. Best to take the bull by the horns. >Wake up Hate and have him accompany you - you've got a battle to plan, and what you need more than anything is a man who can keep the shipgirls off you - or Goto - long enough to accomplish that. Send Hornet upstairs to nudge poor Arizona awake and help corral Naka for Wainwright.>Wake Hornet up and have her accompany you - you owe her an apology for blowing up on her yesterday, and she's going to be part of the carrier task force anyways.

The navy dispersed the survivors in an attempt to conceal the sinking in the interest of morale in Japan.

>>40955536Just re-read that story, still amazes me.Iowa turret debacle in a nutshell for those who don't know the story:>Iowa guns deteriorating from lack of maintenance, all gunnery exercises cancelled because they are considered too dangerous>Hey, hey navy, can we fix these broke ass guns so we don't all die? LOL NOPE take that million bucks and fix the engines instead>Two officers get a bright idea, "hey lets overload these guns with stronger powder than they were designed for so we can shoot farther!">Navy middle management gives them the go ahead without consulting or informing superiors>Turret 1 carries out experiment without incident, but the officer in charge refuses to cooperate with further tests>They use Turret 2 instead, gun misfires during experiment, almost kills entire turret crew as the powder ignites BEFORE the breech is closed.>Several months later perform a new exercise, decide to use 44 year old powder bags to fire a heavier shell than they are designed for. They also use 5 bags instead of the standard 6 which no one ever trained for and the gun is not designed for.>It's even printed right on the bags saying NOT to do that>Center gun misfires with breech open, the explosion kills all 47 men in the turret, only the 12 men down in the powder magazine survive>Damage control reports the inside of the turret is glowing red hot, flood entire turret with water to put out the fire>All bodies are removed without recording location or cause of death>Damaged equipment is thrown overboard>The scene of the crime is cleaned and repainted.Official navy verdict on the accident: A GAY GUY DID IT, HE WAS BUTTMAD AND DELIBERATELY SABOTAGED THE TURRET.(They later threw that out and had someone else investigate. Coming to the conclusion that the accident had happened because of poor training, improper usage and loading of old powder and the general broken ass condition of the gun and assorted machinery.)

You study the dreamland duo for a moment, thinking through your options in terms of what combination of psychotic marine and traumatized shipgirl is least likely to impede your duties as a United States Naval Officer today, and realize with a start that this is Goto's life. This is Goto's *existence.* Except he's not stuck with two devoted, sweet, self-blaming girls counterbalanced by Wee Willie Fuckup and Death Rides A DE. He has all that and more, plus Kongou, who alone throws the whole equation into a cocked hat.Sixteen MONTHS of that shit. Christ. No matter who gets stuck with Settle Support for the day, you can't walk out of here without letting these two know you're all right; not after they slept in the hospital lobby for your sake. You lean over and poke Hornet's cheek gently. She murmurs in her sleep and shuffles a little further under Hate's shirt, protecting herself from the dry chill of the AC vent overhead. You snap your fingers over her face. “Up! Upsie-Daisy! Wake up! Reveille!” You even whistle reveille to no avail. “Way hay and up she rises! CHICKEN ARISE! C'MON!” Hornet finally opens her eyes and blinks blearily. “Ahdmiral?”“It's almost 0800 honey, time to wake up and smell the WAAA!” you yelp as Hornet fairly *pops* off the chairs; her whole body seeming to flex and jump airborne like a piece of flexed spring steel being released. Before you know what's happening, she's hugging you fiercely. You hear your spine pop as she squeezes several nasty kinks out of it just by gripping you - you start to worry when your heels lift off the floor. She lets up the pressure a little bit, but keeps her arms cinched around you. “Are you okay?” she whispers.
Shouldn't we make sure the subs we scuttled of Hawaii don't decide to finish the job? As in the I-400 series, those things are just chilling at the bottom of the ocean right next to Hawaii.
“Doc says so, at least.” “Good,” she says. Hornet's all lean, toned muscle; her slender figure just makes her seem tougher; like a sword blade that will bend rather than break. She rests her forehead atop your shoulder, holding you tightly. A wave of dizziness strikes you, forcing you to lean against her as you pat her back awkwardly. “Hornet,” you begin, “I owe you an apology-”She cuts you off by kissing you on the cheek.“-about, the, day other, before in that I, uh.” “I've got a lot to say too,” Hornet says, leaning back to look you in the eyes, her expression solemn and intense. “And...” she dispells her half-formed words with a subtle shake of her head. “Thank you. *Thank you,* Admiral. I've been waiting all night to say thank you.” She turns and ever-so-gently lowers you into a chair as the room seems to wobble and spin a bit. “We can talk about it after the operation.” You try to look up at her, but twitch your head and blink as her face seems to swim around in front of your eyes. You feel her small brown hand massaging your scalp affectionately, and for a minute you almost forget about your headache. “Is Arizona still upstairs?”You make a sound that might've been an affirmative. “Ah doo belieeev dem viccerdinz are kikkin ihn,” you say woozily. “Just rest here,” Hornet says. “I'll find a nurse. And I'll see to Arizona... and Hate, for that matter.”You shake your head. “Jess, could you hep me outshide... Goto's... expecting me-”“Admiral, if you were meant to pull all that weight alone, you would've been born a harbor tug.” She gives you one last pat and skips away to the desk, and a moment later you hear them paging for a nurse.
>>40955752Cause you know, it's tradition to break a bottle over the bow of newly launched ships. Which, when you think about it means that every USN shipgirl was at one point nearly naked and covered in wine. No wonder Arizona hides the history books.>>40956284Greatly looking forward to it.
>>40956342>“Admiral, if you were meant to pull all that weight alone, you would've been born a harbor tug.”Or an ore hauler?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A
Before you can steal a little more rack-time, Corporal Hate slumps against you, his arm falling across your shoulders companionably. “Aaaaaaaay skippa.” “Hate,” you say, seizing your senses a little more firmly with an effort of will. “You... are drunk.” “Cuzzah YOU,” he says, tapping your skull with his as aggressively as he can. “Inna dish hoshpital. Fhukkin hate hoshpitals.” “Yeah,” you mutter. You spent plenty of time in one - and Hate, as well. “They suck.” “The fhukkin... like... ish bullshit, yunno. Like dair ah'em and dakkadakka poppop watchin deez muddafuggaz drop and, aaay valhalla 'ere I cum muffafuggas. Cuz. dats howIroll. yeah.” he says, pausing to focus his thoughts and polish his erudite diction. “But thenyoush indis place that SMELLLLLLLLS LIIIIIIIIKE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT,” he yodels, thrusting an Angry Finger at the reception desk, “ahand it HUURTS and HURTS so fuhkkin much, so, so fhukin muh and you're like, lemme, jes, finish me, you know, but pussyfuckerbitchtitFUUUUUUUUUUUCKING QUAAAAAACKS,” he thunders at the ceiling, flapping his free arm to illustrate, “WON'T FUKKKIN SAK UP'N DO IT-” he smashes his head into the wall behind him so hard that you hear the plasterboard crunch. “Buh yuhknow, what shaves you?” “A razor?”“That's shutpid, ur sthupid, y'listen here nigger,” he slurs into your ear companionably. “Ish dis tosh, so soft, all tiny and ghentl'n'shit, n, askin you, telln you, you die'n'me I dump youinnasheet with PUSSY written on it don't you, don't you go nowhere muffafugga, ur mine, dun you leave me alone, you're the... only one now...” he wiggles his head side-to-side like he's sifting the thoughts through a bullshit strainer. “Ish... ish errythin... y'know?” “I do,” you say.

>>40956314Damn, no picture-taking. The request came too late!
“LYIN, LIKE, A ruuuuuuuuuuuuug ya dumb shit,” he opines, and passes out again. Shoukaku comes to your rescue a little later, patiently explaining that the drugs they've pumped you full of to keep your blood pressure low combined with your lack of liquid intake has dropped your blood pressure a little too low. She keeps this chat up so effectively that you haven't noticed she's slipped an IV needle into your arm until after she's administered one to Hate as well. She leaves and returns with an entire carafe of coffee liberated from the staff break room and proceeds to feed it to Hate, who imbibes it in small sips while staring brazenly at her chest. You're just starting to feel steady again when Hornet comes back down the hallway. “How are dey?” you manage. “Hornet's brushing Naka's hair,” Hornet says. You snort. “How she taking that?” “She doesn't have a choice - Arizona won't let her get away.” She smiles, looking tremendously amused. “But I still can't get Yamato out of the bathroom.” “... Yamato?” Shoukaku says, giving you a look that even her wondrous social warmth can't blunt. “Yeah... to get that girl out, we're gonna need a door-breaching team-” Hate snatches the carafe from Shoukaku's hands and tips it bottom-up. Everyone in the room, even the receptionist, watch in mute amazement as Hate chugs 3/4ths of a pot in one go, steam rising from his nostrils. He sets it aside and stands with exaggerated care, then gropes around for his cover. He perches the battered hat on his head, pushing it back and forth with both hands as he struggles to verify it's on straight before he notices the ceiling overhead and tosses it over his shoulder with disgust. “HOOORNIT!” Hate chops his knife-hand through the air straight out before him. “MUSH!” Shoukaku watches with a blank expression of wonder as Hornet leads him upstairs. “Where... where did you find him?” “The pound,” you reply honestly.

Shoukaku helps you outside and flags down an unfortunate seaman to drive you both to your apartment, where she waits politely in the main room while you blunder through a hasty toilet. You emerge looking shipshape again - if nothing else, Annapolis teaches you how to clean yourself up perfectly while half-dead and a quarter-conscious. You toss the empty IV bag in the trash and shake some food into the fishbowl. The creature within seems to give you a narrow-eyed look before it deigns to eat, as if scolding you for neglecting it so long. Your “volunteer” driver ferries you to the administration building and roars off in his motor-pool jeep before you can change your mind and further disrupt his day. “Admiral, do you mind if I ask you something?” Shoukaku says as she escorts you up the walk. She's keeping her hand on the inside of your elbow, letting you hobble unassisted, but ready to catch you if needed. “Shoot.”“Do you live... frugally?” “Hell no,” you snort. “Just haven't had time to unpack. I've got boxes and boxes of shit down at the post office waiting for me to pick 'em up.”“Oh,” Shoukaku says thoughtfully. “It... has been a rather fast introduction, hasn't it?” “No sh-oot-”“You can say shit, Admiral,” Shoukaku giggles. “It sure has been a right crock of it dumped in you in your first week, you know?” >You've got a few moments to ask her something in the relative privacy of the halls before you reach the CIC for the days planning. >Ask Shoukaku about the other CVs - are you on solid-enough ground with them that it won't endanger the operation?>Ask Shoukaku about Goto - was his first weeks like this?

>>40956682IV Epaulettes.Fancy.
>>40956657>Ask Shoukaku about Goto - was his first weeks like this?Shoukaku is one of the older kanmusu if I recall correctly, besides basically questioning her competence is rather insulting.
>>40956657>Ask Shoukaku about Goto - was his first weeks like this?At some point we should appologize for laughing at his Kongou, um, 'situation'.
>>40956657>Ask Shoukaku about the other CVs - are you on solid-enough ground with them that it won't endanger the operation?We need to give the fish some more fresh water so it won't die from old water. Shit we need to get the water air thingie soon.

>>40956657>>Ask Shoukaku about the other CVs - are you on solid-enough ground with them that it won't endanger the operation?Business first, we'll probably have a chance to discuss Goto's history with her later.
>>40956626>>40956606>>40956566>>40956471Guys. He's talking about what Iowa did to him, I think.
>You've got a few moments to ask her something in the relative privacy of the halls before you reach the CIC for the days planning. Is this an option or did you greentext on accident?>Ask Shoukaku about the beginning. What was it like for Goto and her.
>>40956657Is Shoukaku still wearing the sexy nurse outfit? Because this could be hilarious walking into the CIC with Goto and company.
>>40956657ASK SHOUKAKU ABOUT HOW THE FREAKING RESUPPLY.DO THEY HUG FULL SIZED SHELLS AND SHRINK THEM OR WHAT?
>>40956751That's the impression that I got, though you could read it both ways
>>40956673NO>>40956657ASK SHOUKAKU ABOUT GOTO - WERE HIS FIRST WEEKS LIKE THIS?
>>40956734>We need to give the fish some more fresh waterSalt water. It's a dogfish.
>Ask Shoukaku about the beginning. What was it like for Goto and her.>>40956753But Shoukaku is always sexy?

>>40956753Yes.Because Yes.
Does this mean if we get enough waifuing done we will end up getting shoved into a closet with a yandere redhead?
>>40956657>Ask Shoukaku about the beginning. What was it like for Goto and her.

>>40956657>Ask Shoukaku about the other CVs - are you on solid-enough ground with them that it won't endanger the operation?Pretty sure the answer to the second question is a resounding YES.

>>40956908Aye.Shoukaku a best
>>40956931Alright, "less unstable than most of the others".
>>40956805If we get lex it would be nice to get her as originally intended... basically our own Hood, just worse armor...
>>40956911Shit, the USB chord IS new and chinese, and I don't have a card reader or another device on me. My problem is that when I plug it in my computer doesn't even detect it.I guess it's uploading to imgur then.

>>40956986... You mean just like most people?
>>40956986http://www.combinedfleet.com/shoksink.htmThreadly reminder that Shokaku's last memories of WWII would be pretty traumatic.
>>40957014Yes?The scenario statement stands
>>40956908If we are we're not making a very good go at it. She shows up to our hospital bed in a sexy nurse's outfit to "cheer us up" and we send her away to cuddle with Arizona.
>>40956931
>>40956657>[x] Ask Shoukaku about the other CVs - are you on solid-enough ground with them that it won't endanger the operation?>ALSO THIS PLEASE >>40956765
I would say Taihos death is more traumatic considering she farted herself to death.
>>40957035She seems understanding, though it helps that Ari comes off as a worried daughter and not a romantic rival.
>>40957035Which is why we need to actually make some effort towards it. The situation at the hospital wasn't good for romance, so we engineer a good situation.>>40957034... Still not seeing a problem.
>>40956928Sound's like she'd get along with Akagi and Kaga.
>>40957060Until Naka dropped da bombshell
>>40956985o'bannon when
>>40956773DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING MOVING COMPANY TO YOU.
>>40957035Shokaku's fairly understanding, she's not unfamiliar with seeing someone who needs to be comforted (Akagi PTSD too stronk)
>>40957091YES

>>40957124Shit! We're almost out of room!
>>40957054Taihou died because her DC officers were idiots. Shokaku had most of her crew incinerated as they were preparing to abandon ship.
>>40957035thinking on it, that happened without our input for the most part; we choose to page a nurse (not expecting Shoukaku), but not everything else that followed.

>>40957193Both, obviously.
>>40957091only when you forget your belt.
>>40957294>>40957295Fuck. Need to remember to label them correctly.
>>40957282Thats USN CV mom Langley though
>>40957282CV-1 =/= CV-2
Can we add her for a complete set of damaged waifus? Then again I prefer Chinese lex for now until the illustration if finished...
>>40956805In modern age she'd serve as a pretty damn good amphibious assault ship, park along shore and provide her own fire support.

>>40957124>>40956950>>40956883At least you can find them Sentinel. The photos I've taken over the... er, last decade, are spread across three drives and the total size is well over four terabytes? Somewhere, buried in this mess, are a fuckton of photos of the USS Massachusetts, USS Lionfish, USS Joseph P. Kennedy, and the Hiddensee (I think it's the only soviet corvette museum ship in the US).Also they're spread across like 5 different camera bodies, and some of these are on film, like, camera film, film, for an extra "fuck you".I'm kinda pissed really. There were really nice shots of Massachusetts in there and I've wasted two and a half hours searching to no avail today.

>>40957212>no bow
>>40957434Get Willie to do it.Should reduce the amount of clutter.Just insure it first.
>>40957446Lex came and left before the Garand was standard issue.Hence the M1903.
>>40957360Dude how have you filled 4 terabytes with just photos?
>>40957446[PING]
>>40957446Wrong gun. That's a Springfield she's holding not an M1
>>40957476>.png
>>40957475Hi Res photos, i'd wager.Also being old.
>>40957434I thought Naka is a sort of cripple now? Isn't that a dick move to maker move our shit about?
>>40957475he's a photoguy irl
>>40957122Has anyone tried to use Willie for an insurance scam yet? Get her to help and then write it off whatever breaks?
>>40957394>Either it was touched off by one of the fires, or was set off by tumbling as the ship nosed forward, but at 1408 an aerial bomb on the hangar deck forward exploded. Immediately the volatile gases that had been accumulating below were ignited, and the Shokaku was rent by an ominous grumble deep down inside. This was followed by a truly devastating cacophony of "four terrific explosions" followed by several smaller ones as the forward bomb and torpedo magazines were touched off. In a prolonged convulsion of three minutes the Shokaku literally began to blow apart at the seams.>The men gathered aft were caught completely off-guard--they had assumed they had several minutes to evacuate; in reality they now had only seconds. They were sent tumbling and sliding down the flight deck as Shokaku's shattered bow plunged under the waves. Water surged over and across the flight deck and poured in a torrent through the open No.1 elevator into the hangar. The inrush yanked the stricken carrier downward, causing her fantail to rear terrifyingly and suddenly into the sky.>Screaming and frantically trying to grab anything to hold onto, the mass of humanity on Shokaku's flight deck aft slid down the incline to their deaths and a "fiery hell" as they fell headlong into the open and blazing No.3 elevator into the cavernous inferno that had been the hangar.
>>40957501She's not stupid. She'll just delegate the job to someone who can. THat's why we hired her as secretary int he first place.
>>40957501She's our secretary ship.I'm sure she'll bat her lovely little eyes and play up 'oh i'm an injured little girl' at some strong MPs and get them to do all the work for her.
>>40957212it's like whoever drew that was trying to outdo every fanservicy Kantai at once.
>>40957514>a "fiery hell"Sounds like a Zinger burger, yeah.
>>40957537Shes Lady Lex anon.Shes fucking STACKEDeverything about her was already extremely sexual
>>40957514*What happens when I ram Shokaku full of MK14 torpedoes in the eastern Solomons in SH4 Every Time...*I swear those three escort DDs are mental. Literally kill 2 carriers and they just derp along.
>>40957571SH4's AI was not very good. At all.
How long would Lex last in our universe before someone or something pounded her.
>>40957571Oh, We should give all the DDs copies of that. Modded, of course.If they learn how Subs operate firsthand, they can counter them better.
>>40957612May 1942.
>>40957612If we go flank speed we can have Lex and Settle in a closet before you can scream 'stranger danger! stranger danger!'
>>40956931I think most anons are going after Shoukaku because she personifies every goddamn moe-moe anime girl type in one white-haired bundle, up to and including crying cutely so that they have something to coo over.Also, a nice set of tits.I can't wait to see how it blows up in thier faces.
>>40957663Lex might break a few of Settles bonesshe does displace over 45000 tons after all
>>40957612Ten minutes.
>>40957571>What happens when I ram Shokaku full of MK14 torpedoes in the eastern Solomons in SH4 Every Time...You hear a series of clunks, premature explosions and torpedoes going under their targets?At least before the one "working" torpedo does a circular run and kills you?
>>40956766>>40956751Same here. Didn't she say something like that to Hate?
>>40957504>>40957497>>4095747580,000+ RAW photos is about 4 terabytes of data (25-50 megabytes or so each. File sizes have increased over years as I've changed camera bodies). The one's I've actively worked on in photoshop have large file sizes as well. The couple hundred slides we've scanned from our old archives were at 5400 dpi? Basically, huge file sizes but you can print them at almost any size. I'm looking for a bunch of shots from West Point as well for Ghost and Merc for their quests as well (Para-jump demos and such).Seems like a total waste, but memory is cheap, but I can't argue with the results. This has been downsized and artifacted to hell by now, but it's vibrant and very close to the original shot. Anyways, while I was typing and rambling, I set the fucking hard drives to start importing and organizing. Maybe this weekend i dunno.
>>40957669Can't wait to see what sort of psychosis or issues she hasyandere shokaku who kidnaps us and plays innocent when interrogated when.
>>40957669but she doesnt wear glasses.
>>40957703BUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRDDDDD
>>40957703Fun fact; in the game you can manually set the running depth to something sane, set the fuse to contact rather than magnetic incidence, and basically fix most of the stupid-ass doctrinal problems the Mk14s had.Gross violation of navy policy, but hey, so is shooting fishing boats with my deck gun for target practice.wwwwwwwwww
>>40957669None of these girls are really emotionally stable.The worst ones are likely the ones that had to watch most of the crew die.The problem the Japanese had was there own Damage control was not too good in comparison.You get Sammy who wants to live this life how her last one ended.You have poor Willie, who concentrates on her few failures and misses what she did good and then got her whole crew out alive.

>>40957738>set the fuse to contact rather than magnetic incidence, and basically fix most of the stupid-ass doctrinal problems the Mk14s had.Only one problem: the contact fuse on the Mk 14 was so shit that unless you hit the ship at a 45 degree angle the force of hitting the ship would snap the contact detonator. The torpedo would just sink down harmlessly unexploded.
>>40957812Say "B8" really fast.Still don't get it? It's bait.
>>40957845Still more reliable than the magnetic pistol.
I still love that Shoukaku is in that nurses outfit.
>>40957845How the fuck did we manage to wreck the Jap shipping with these pieces of shit?
>>40957863Balls and deck guns.
>>40957856The zeon secretary outfit is love.And theres that meido shoukaku decu drew
>>40957740Ayup. We were there on vacation and I took my kit along for their stuntshow. Absolutely perfect weather and a ton of sunlight, which meant I could keep the aperture tight, ISO low, and the shutter speed really fucking high (1/2000th) and pretty much freeze vehicles and actors in mid jump etc. Had a ton of fun that day.
>>40957845Or get stuck in the enemy ship and just stay there as a trophy.
>>40957863deck guns, and Japan being SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT at ASW

Why was Hornet thanking Settle, I mean he didn't say anything wrong and mostly goto was talking.
>>40957612Fairy Pappy and the fairy Black Sheep Squadron already pounded her.>>40957739And then you have Aoba.She is not sorry for sinking Furutaka, Kako, Murakumo, Fubuki and for thatessage she sent Kumano.
>>40957943Hate also just told her about LA
>>40957877Here's the maid Shoukaku image!

>>40954621Underrated post
>>40958127Yeah U-boats are not very fast as a rule. To use the german u-boats as an example.Type VII 17.7 knots surfaced 6.7 submergedType IX 18.2 knots surfaced 7.7 submergedType XXI 15.6 knots surfaced 17.2 submerged 6.1 silent runningType XXIII 9.7 knots surfaced 12.5 submergedPre-WW2 subs would be much slower than this. To put this into perspective most merchant shipping moved at 12 knots. A typical enemy corvette could move 16 knots, a frigate 20 knots, and your typical destroyer could move at 30+ knots.

“Yeah, almost like there's a war on,” you reply noncommittally. “Now can I ask you something?” “My three sizes?” You huff at her. “Flirt.”“I aim to please, Admiral.”“Is Kaga backed up some, now?”“Backed... up?” Shoukaku blinks. “Oh! Like they mean in those cowboy movies the girls-”“Yeah, you know. Not acting like I'm walking scum every time I'm in the room.”Shoukaku pats your shoulder. “She's really not that bad at all, she's just... falling back on what she knows.”“But she won't give me trouble?”“Hardly. After that demonstration yesterday, she takes you seriously, at least.”“And Hornet?”“Hornet showed her up and highlighted just what got her, Akagi and Hiryuu killed at Midway,” Shoukaku says quietly, pulling you closer by your elbow to speak into your ear. “She learned her lesson, all right, but she can't openly admit it. She can't admit it to herself, I think. She was the Pride of Japan once, and she still carries that on her shoulders. She... she tries to carry us all, sometimes.” Shoukaku looks down at the hallway floor, pensive. “Sometimes I wonder if she's not trying to fool herself with that... that air of superiority. Like the high-class have; this Essence that you're born with, so innate to you that you can't possibly lose it.”
>>40958355or planefag's sister DEMANDS ATTENTION and toilet glock is called to duty
>>40958111Isn't that just Shoukaku without her chest armor?
>>40958343Fuck the Alaskas. They have an Iowa - sized hull and Iowa-sized crew for cruiser-level armor, armament and propulsion. I'd much rather have had two Montanas or another two Iowas instead.
>>40958109Cottonclad Abyssal when?Yes they were really a thing.
>>40958394More or less.Which is why I mentioned her combat outfit.
“That sounds like the kind of aura easily punctured,” you murmur.“Yes, you understand.”“So what about that thing that starts with “M” and ends with “IDWA-” Shoukaku elbows you just enough to jostle the name out of your mouth. “That's my point!” she hisses. Heeding her wisdom, you button up before entering the CIC. The room is mostly deserted of the usual operations staff; the main wall display showing a huge overhead map of the Pacific; little icons all over highlighting bases, ships and probable enemy operating areas. There's more of the latter on the map than you're comfortable with. Staring up at the screen with tired eyes are Goto and Admiral Robert L. Thomas, commander of 7th fleet. Goto's holding a smoldering cigarette in his mouth that he seems to have forgotten about, and Lockwood is tossing a half-empty bottle of Pepsi between his hands. “Defend everywhere, be strong nowhere,” Thomas says wearily. “Or... some Sun Tzu shit like that. Pardon my French.” “Mmm,” Goto concurs, staring up at the map. “You'd think they'd want to cover Singapore and Indonesia,” Thomas sighs. “Fits their party line perfectly. Just Defending Regional Security,” he mutters, the air quotes apparent in his tone.“They've got enough patrol boats to cover their own coast,” Goto replies thoughtfully. “All their bluewater stuff is tied up with convoys-”“-and they need the convoys desperately, and their littoral shit doesn't have the legs, and air attacks will massacre them and nobody down there's got airpower and even if they did Singapore's government won't have them.”
>>40958377Now, I'm not saying that I'd shoot the cockgobbler for free, but.... beer is pretty cheap, yaknow.
>>40958404I never been able to find much information on the Alaskas. Were they really that lack luster? Any why?
“And Borneo and Sumatra would sooner give birth to porcupines on fire than host the JSDF,” Goto says.Thomas glances askance at him.“What?” Goto says with a shrug. “It's true.” You slip out of Shoukaku's grasp and cough politely to attract their attention. They turn around, and you salute crisply as you're able.Thomas's Pepsi bounces off his opposite hand and rolls across the floor, forgotten. Goto's cigarette falls out of his mouth. They both turn to look at each other, than turn back to you. You try to nudge your hat down with your saluting hand to cover your rising eyebrows - what's with them?“Settle,” Thomas says first. “What the hell are you doing on your feet?” “Saluting, sir.” Thomas blinks, than returns your salute quickly. As soon as your hand lowers, he repeats his question. “What are you doing ambulatory?” “Reporting for duty,” you reply slowly, half-expecting a trick question to pop out of the dim corners. “Didn't they cut into your head?” Goto asks bluntly. “The naval surgeon said I'm good to go, as long as I don't do any jumping jacks,” you reply. Goto and Thomas share a quick look of surprise, then they both seem to shrug without moving. “Well, take a seat, Settle, and I'll give you the sitrep,” Thomas says, shuffling through some papers on the central table and fishing out a manilla folder. “Take a gander.” You gander. The document is a sitrep on 7ths fleet ready and operational status, and it's a tale of woe - worn-out ships, ships badly in need of refit and repair and several ships still trucking with patched over battle damage months old. The flagship herself, USS Ronald Reagan, is in good enough shape, but her air wing is depleted from losses and constant operations since the war began, and the bill has finally come due.
>>40958404INDEED
“Well,” you say flatly.“Exactly,” Thomas sighs. “The kanmasu are going to have to carry this one, I'm afraid.”“That's why we've got them,” Goto replies. “So what's the strike force looking like?” you ask. “That's what we could use your opinion on,” Goto replies. He slides over a legal pad filled with scrawling. The first notes compare and contrast CARDIV 1 and 5. Kaga and Akagi are considered the best at launching uniform strikes that can hit the enemy with “maximum inertia and concentration of force,” and to navigate the best - which means you can risk extreme-range strikes with more impunity. On the other hand, Shoukaku and Zuikaku are much more practiced in effective CAP doctrine the Japanese developed after Midway.Under a line labeled “sea control/follow-up/supplemental scouting” is two lines - “SUBS” and “SURFACE GROUP” with a big question mark after them. Lastly is a lot of scribbling under “ASW cover,” where the choices seem to boil down to Ryujo, the light carrier with the funny hat you met in here yesterday, or two names that you're unfamiliar with - “Oregon” and “New Jersey.” You flick your eyes up at Goto for clarification.
>>40958463Goddamn, I want to peel her out of her rigging.
>>40958435They were classified as large cruisers by the US, but battlecruisers by pretty much everyone else. They were intended to be cruiser killers but by the time they were completed there was a bit of an issue in that all of the cruisers they were intended to kill were already dead.
>>40958469Gotta be subs.
>>40958469>“New Jersey.”Well now.
“Assuming the carrier battle goes our way, we'll want to move in and mop up stragglers trying to motor out of airstrike range before the next morning. I think a light surface action group could do it - we've got plenty of heavy cruisers chomping at the bit and even some destroyers in shape to sortie, all the damn littoral patrols be damned. Our girls excel at night action; they'd crush them.”“We need to hold something back for sudden attacks elsewhere,” Thomas counters, “and the subs have even less to do than the cruisers, right now. Without a supply line to attack... or even abyssals in-transit - if they *do* transit - the subs are pretty much useless. You don't send diesel boats charging to the rescue if there's an attack somewhere; you send cruisers. Against an abyssal carrier group, though - especially with the hulls we've got available - I think they could manage Nautilus redux; a major pain in the ass for the enemy.”
>>40958497But why the size and crew requirements?
>>40958469>“Oregon” and “New Jersey.”I'm not too well versed on USN warships. But aren't those two Nuclear submarines?
“Well, if you're just picking off survivors after a successful air battle-” “-a fast surface force is better,” Thomas finishes for Goto. “But the subs can harass them during the daylight action... which brings me to the next issue. You said something about smelling subs in the area yesterday, Settle?”“Yes sir.” “You have a good nose,” Thomas says. “Any way you dice it, they know we're coming, and I think they're laying for us. They'll have subs. And that could cause all sorts of damn mayhem for us.” You think of Midway - USS Nautilus's endless, dogged attacks that perchance led some of Yorktown's bombers to the Japanese fleet. I-168 sealing Yorktown's fate as she was on the brink of being saved. Even Mogami's collision which sealed Mikuma's fate; emergency evasives after a submarine was spotted in the dark. In short, a massive wrench in the works. “I'm pulling for Ryujo,” Goto says. “An entire deck just for ASW patrols.”“The only good news for 7th fleet is on that sheet of paper,” Thomas counters. “Two brand-spanking-new Virgina-class SSNs. Bring those with us and they'll devour any hostile subs that come sniffing around the carriers.” You frown at the legal pad, thinking furiously, then glancing back up at the map and all those populated island chains you're responsible for defending. Whatever you send after those carriers won't be available to respond to any other attack - but you need to dispatch a proper force that can deal with the unexpected. >(vote for one from each category.)>Send Cardiv 1.>Send Cardiv 5>Send the Light Surface Group for the anti-surface complement.>Send your ship-girls (and ship-boy) submarines for the anti-surface complement. >Send Ryujo for the ASW complement.>Send the two fast-attack subs as the ASW complement.

We'll also want to send some AA escorts, possibly a Burke or something.Don't send the Virginias. The last time the Abyssals pulled a fast one on us we almost lost Arizona, Naka and a cutter.

>>40958711>kirito plays ggo.gif
>>40958679Hey planefag does the 7th have any LCS it could spare for ASW?
Who is in Cardiv 1 and who is in Cardiv 5?
>>40958560>Send Cardiv 1.>Send your ship-girls (and ship-boy) submarines for the anti-surface complement. >Send Ryujo for the ASW complement.
>>40958712Planefag has previously hinted that Abyssals get graped in the mouth when the encounter modern subs.
>>40958741Cardiv 1= Kaga and AkagiCardiv 5: Zaikaku and Shoukaku
>>40958741Cardiv 1 is Kaga and Akagi. Cardiv 5 is Shoukaku and Zuikaku. The other fleet carriers are either in no shape to sortie at the moment, or desperately needed to provide air cover to Borneo and Sumatra.
>>40958560Please tell me the carriers we send will have sufficient tin can escorts, and not lol ALL SUBS.
>>40958741Kaga and Akagi cardiv 1 Shokaku and Zukaku Cardiv 5
>>40958560Okay. So.This force has shown an remarkable ability to get strikes off, so we want good CAP abilities. And I'm inclined to send the surface force out with them, but... we really need to get a sense of how we can employ subs. Both in this battle and in general. So I'm thinking:>Send Cardiv 5>Send your ship-girls (and ship-boy) submarines for the anti-surface complement.and... hmm. Joint ops worked pretty well last time, let's try that again.>Send the two fast-attack subs as the ASW complement.
>>40958244I19 and I58 are confirmed.
>>40958758Seconded, I'm guessing its the case but just to be sure
>>40958758>>40958754Yeah, carrier group will have its own escorts yes?

>>40958560>Send Cardiv 1.>Send the Light Surface Group for the anti-surface complement.>Send Ryujo for the ASW complement.
>>40958754Cardiv 1 thenALPHA STRIKEAlso >Send the Light Surface Group for the anti-surface complement.>Send the two fast-attack subs as the ASW complement.
>>40958758Carrier divisions include a destroyer division. According to Wikipedia that would be Akebono and Ushio.
>>40958737>>40958711>Stuff Harder INSIDE one of the Virgnia's torpedo tubes>Now we can stealth insert Harder RIGHT on top of the enemy>Just tell him we're giving him Dead Silence too.That game had the best MP out of the series.And by "best" I mean "absolutely horribly broken and unbalanced" which is why it was so much fun.
>>40958679>>40958712Changing vote from 5 to 1. With Hornet going along this is the best chance for Cardiv 1 to utilize their strike skills safely.>>40958750I don't remember that part. Is it true? We know the Abyssals fuck with mundane sensors...
>>40958739>Hey planefag does the 7th have any LCS it could spare for ASW?Unfortunately, no. They're largely occupied trying to catch abyssal subs moving through the Celebes Sea in a darling display of role reversal. They're vital in the latter role because, unlike most local ASW assets, they can defend themselves fairly well against air or surface attack, and with the abyssals you never know where the bastards will pop up.
>>40958791>firing Harder out of a torpedo tubePLANEFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG
>>40958540Because they were 33,000 tons. And they weren't really lackluster, it was more of a case of "Yes, but why?" Yes, we CAN build large cruisers/battlecruisers, but there wasn't really any need for them.
>>40958789>just two dd's>for Hornet, Akagi, and KagaEven Taffy 3 has more able-bodied hulls.
>>40958791It was the last one with Stopping Power as a perkwhich meant it was the last GOOD one, as far as MP went
>>40958809>Even Taffy 3 has more able-bodied hulls.Well that was when it was just Kaga and Akagi. In this case I'm sure we'd have one or two more at least.
>>40958725oops lol
>>40958809Taffy 3 was also batshit through and through, but that's another matter entirely.Shame that Sammy can't keep up with the fleet carriers
>>40958789Aren't those JUST their plane-guard DDs?I would hope that they'd receive some sort of surface escort force as part of this plan.
>>40958805Also, they took up slips, material and labor that would have been better to use for Montanas, more Iowas, or more Essexes.
>>40958710$4,000,000 / pop WOO
>>40958805I imagine the weight came from snowballing effects.
