You feel your way back to the conference room in a daze, the pressure in your skull building towards bursting. For the hundredth time since you were handed that letter with the embossed Navy emblem as you glared dirks and daggers at your physical therapist's back, you wonder what the hell they were thinking, promoting someone as (relatively) young as you to a star.

It's not unusual - for a Navy in a global war - but you're not ready.

Maybe you never will be.

Maybe nobody is.

As the conference room door swings open, bathing you in the hubub and chaos and paperwork of War, you stiffen your back and clear your mind as much as possible. You go to war with the Navy and the leaders you've got. You've been called upon to deliver, and nobody gives a damn if you're not ready.

Least of all the enemy.

[ ] Meet and brief the warships contending - start with Jintsuu over there and call in the rest of them; the Chuuni Cuties and the Torpedo Trollops. Getting your core team on the same page is vital.
[ ] See Crab first - look into the possibility of getting some of those radar headsets you tried on Arizona and Kongou into service quick enough for this fight. Radar is indispensable in a night-fight.
[ ] Contact the ASEAN liason - see if you can't talk to some of the Captains your girls will be fighting alongside. Establishing even a little common ground before going into battle might avoid the clusterfuck that ensued the last time a divided command fought in the Sunda Strait.

Haha, so uh, shit has started to kinda go down in our campaign! We get a mission to investigate an underwater cave system infested with Abyssals. Unfortunately, Seydlitz and Graf Spee get separated from the group, and when we find them again, they've managed to capture a Re-class Abyssal and lost quite a lot of SAN in the process!

Suffice to say, the two kraut ships were not exactly the same after that. Add in a fishing trip gone HORRIBLY WRONG when Tashkent and Vetehinen nearly blue on blue by accident, and Portland not being too fond of the idea of possibly having to fight alongside two (crazier than normal) krauts, and we have BREAKING OF THE FELLOWSHIP levels of group drama!

Suffice to say the Admiral got so pissed he literally crushed full shot glass with his bare hand, which promptly got us all to shut up and return to our rooms with no supper. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next!

On the brighter side of things, Victorious borrows one of Hoel's uniforms, gets mistaken for a destroyer, and gets press ganged into torpedo practice. She somehow manages to klutz her way through it, and ends up befriending some adorably an cute Fletcher triplet!

It really isn't. We know of exactly two peons- Hate, and Naka. If we actually had other staff members, I would expect that we would at least learn their names at some point. Or have Settle refer to handing something off to his staff, or well, anything.
You may think you've successfully implied the existence of an actual staff, but you've done nothing of the sort.

Planefag, the vast majority of quest-readers are conditioned to believe their character is the only one that actually DOES things. That the world revolves around them.

It's not always going to be obvious that other shit will get done without us.

Finally, we don't know jack shit about any peons we have. We haven't even met them.

I'm constantly surprised when you remind us we have a staff beyond Hate and Naka.

I dislike double votes on a deep, fundamental level, but I was under the impression thst Settle's chronic lack of delegation was a quest contrivance meant to firther a certain mood and zanny funtimes atmosphere while also grounding negative plot developments in "things we've been avoiding" when it's time for things to go dramatic.

If I had known it was some kind of feelsy storygame "you, the player, decide what gets focus" mechanic I'd have voted differently a bunch of times.

This makes perfect sense for an Iowa. As a giant old platform meant to provide support fire for marines, it is inherently weak against submarines and fast boats. Organic helicopter support for drone launching, anti submarine/anti surface targets, and the ability to in a pinch, deploy marine reinforcements make this an ideal flagship for a MEU.

Iowa's TDS was the result of a lot of compromise and was an inelegant and ineffective solution. Pretty much every bit of reputable literature on the thing clearly indicates her TDS was badly flawed compared to her immediate predecessors and her planned successors.

All the CLs being dispatched to the battle area are veterans of plenty of battles - in two wars, even - and often fought together, so you expect they'll do well this time, too. The ASEAN ships and crews engaged in multiple co-operative exercises with their fellows and US forces in the past several years; a reaction to growing Chinese strength in the region. Plus, the new command system of networked cameras and communications that has worked so well in your prior battles should help reduce the fog-of-war; at least where keeping everyone appraised of everyone else's locations are is concerned.

That just leaves the matter of night-fighting. As well-trained and equipped as Japanese warships were for the job, there's no substitute for radar. The funny little headsets you tried with Arizona and Kongou, utilizing the guts of a Hellfire-L, would be perfect for this fight.

You just hope you've got more than two early prototypes available by now.

After a little phone tag, you manage to track down Crab's current whereabouts - the massive graving dock; the only drydock in a thousand miles capable of hosting a Nimitz class carrier. You whistle up a ride from the base motor pool and head across base with Hamp (firmly buckled into the rear passenger seat.) Your driver curses quietly as he dodges vehicle after vehicle - it seems have the JGSDF is rolling around the base, reinforcing air and sea defenses in the wake of those threatening calls. You recall the panic in city schools that ensues when some shithead calls in a fake bomb threat, and frown - what if this was the response they wanted? Diverting defenses from other coastal areas? You can't imagine the abyssals actually believed their request would be honored - you were quite clear the first time they pulled that shit...

... and the first time, there wasn't even a voice, so to speak. Just an awful, silibant hissing that *suggested* syllables in a certain order, a kind of slime that oozed into your mind and lingered, unwelcome, long after it was heard. The caller of an hour ago sounded... *lucid.* Sane. Intelligible.

The intel guys would be going atomic apeshit just about now, you figure. It changes everything - a complete bolt from the blue.

Unless you know Naka, that is-

The brakes squeal harshly as the ensign brings your jeep to a halt. He leans over to turn up the AC. “Shall I wait for you, sir?”

“Please.”

Hamp pops out into the sultry summer heat like a caged lion loosed; he doesn't seem to like riding in anything if he's not driving it - or so you gathered from his backseat-driver glare and silent mouthed criticisms. You hobble after him, whacking his heel with your cane to get him to match your pace.

The main drydock at Yokosuka is a relic of the Second World War, built to accommodate the largest battleships the Japanese had, the formidable Yamato class. It was more than big enough to service several generations of American supercarriers as well, which - ironically - took over the Yamato's role as the ultimate protector of Japanese security.

How fucking wrong can you be.

>The side protection (torpedo defense) and the triple bottom systems provide protection against underwater threats such as torpedoes, mines and near-miss explosions. Both of these multi-layered systems are intended to absorb the energy from an underwater explosion equivalent to a 700 pound charge of TNT.
>The Navy derived at this amount of protection based on intelligence information gathered in the 1930’s. At that time, US Naval Intelligence was unaware of the advances the Japanese had made in torpedo technology. One of these advances was the Japanese 24 inch diameter "Long Lance" torpedo, which carried a charge equivalent to 891 pounds of TNT. A Long Lance torpedo essentially defeated the USS North Carolina’s side protective system. The ship was hit by chance at its narrowest, and therefore most vulnerable part of the side protection system.
.An Iowa Class battleship would have taken lighter damage from the torpedo due to an improved torpedo protection system over the North Carolina Class.

>The Iowa Class torpedo defense system is virtually the same as in the previous South Dakota Class battleships. The side protection system consists of four tanks on the outboard side of the hull extending from the 3rd deck to the bottom of the ship. The two outboard tanks are liquid loaded with fuel oil or ballast and the two inboard tanks are kept void. The liquid layers are intended to deform and absorb the shock from the explosion and contain most of the shards from the damaged structure. The innermost void is expected to contain any leakage into the interior ship spaces. The armor belt is designed to stop fragments that penetrate the second torpedo bulkhead.


It is by no means "inferior" to anything, save for PERHAPS the system employed on modern French battleships. It is superior to preceding systems in all ways.

Bigger bulges =/= better defense.
>>
>>45058418
>bolt from the blue
Oh you.

Like any dock its size, it is truly massive - a stepped-sided concrete trench deep enough to swallow a cruiser or destroyer up to its hull, and much, much longer. You remember how the dock in San Diego seemed to swallow your Burke whole; plenty of space to each side and yawning empty space fore and aft. But never, ever, ever has a massive graving dock seemed as vast as it does now - occupied by the most diminutive ship imaginable.

“HEEEEEEEEEELP!” comes a shrill female voice from the bottom of the dock. You lean over the safety railing and peer downward to see a small figure with long blonde hair trying her damndest to climb the first concrete “step” that forms the sides of the dock. Unfortunately, her slender frame is too short to make any progress. “THIS ISN'T FUUNNNYYYYYYYY!”

A few hundred feet down is a large man ensconced in a reclining pool-chair placed atop the dock's rim. Lost somewhere in a shirt that started as dazzle camouflage and wandered into a Hawaiian floral print, he's looking up at the clouds lazily when the girl's complaint drifts up to him.

“HA!” he exclaims, sitting upright and leaning over to point with the neck of his beer bottle. “AHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!”

“NOOOOOOO!”

The man - whom you assume can only be Crab - begins laughing again, letting his mirth serve as final counterpoint to her assertion.

“LET ME OUT POOOO~OOOOOI~”

“WHAT'S THAT?” Crab bellows down, his impressive baritone echoing up and down the length of the huge dock. “I CAN'T HEAR YOU!”

Yuudachi is hopping frantically now, her hands batting at the edge of the concrete step. She looks down in horror and squeals before skipping back a few steps - an inch of water is slowly creeping towards her feet as the dock... well, leaks, more than properly floods.

“I SAID LEMME OUT LEMME OUT LEMME OOOOOOUT!” Yuudachi repeats.

“SORRY, ALL I COULD HEAR WAS POI POI POIPOIPOIPOIPOIPOIPOIPOIPOIPOIPOIPOOOOOOI!” Crab roars, sending his beer bottle whistling through open space. Somehow, incredibly, it sails clean over the huge dock in a graceful parabolic arc before shattering with a tiny tinkle on the far side sidewalk.

You reach conversation range of Crab just as he cracks open another brewski.

“Hey, Settle.”

“Uh...”

Crab looks at you, his expression hidden behind a gigantic pair of oakley sunglasses as Yuudachi's squeals and cries and shouts of rage drift up from below. “What.”

“Uhm.”

“... what does Uhm mean,” Crab says. “The fuck is that, Swahilli?”

“What the fuck are you doing?”

“Oh. Well, after that flyboy jock dipshit face-planted into Akagi, well, we know shipsluts-”

“Hey,” Hamp says.

“You're Northhampton?”

“Yeah. And I'm not a slut.”

“Slut, Yankee, same diff,” Crab shrugs. “Anyways we went around shaking down allies for any info and the Brits tell us they managed to refit one of their girls when she panicked and fullsized or some shit.”
>>
>>45058435
Is that supposed to be Essex?
>>
>>45058545

>>
“Wait, the Brits had a shipgirl summon her full-sized hull?”

“I just fucking said that. How many pieces of shrapnel did you have in your head again?”

“And they just sat on it?”

“Blah blah politics OPSEC dunno don't give a fuck. Anyway, we're trying the same approach.”

You glance down at the panicking Yuudachi, who's now pulling on her hair as she bellows, the water coming up to her ankles. “I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIIIIIIIIIIIIM!”

“IT'S SINK OR SUPERSIZE BITCH! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Crab tilts his beer towards the sky and chugs about half of it in one go, then reclines in his pool chair again. He fishes an old ballcap off the ground next to his beer cooler (ALESTORM, declares the faded lettering,) and pulls it on to shade his eyes.

“I'M SORRY I'M SORRY WHY WHY WHY POOOI!”

You see Crab's body go slack with the utter relaxation of a man on Cloud Nine - slowly floating his way towards nirvana.

“... can't she just... uh... summon her... thingamajigs and walk on the god damned water?” Hamp muses, peering down into the drydock with a confused look.

“Maybe,” Crab says. “Maybe. But the part of her brain allocated to thinking of basic fucking solutions to simple god damned problems was replaced with a machine that just repeats POI POI POI POI *POI POI POI GOD DAMNED MOTHER-FUCKING-NEVER-ENDING POOOOOOI*!” The second empty bottle goes lofting in a gorgeous parabolic arc over the dock, glinting prettily against the blue sky as it tumbles end-for-end, flying high and free, powered by limitless rage.

“... how did you get her down there?” Hamp asks.

“Put a scratch-n'sniff sticker at the bottom.”

Aside from the fact that what you posted is completely bog-standard for torpedo protection of the '30s, it fails to account for the fact that the extension of Iowa's main belt all the way down as a torpedo bulkhead *severely* compromised the whole system's effectiveness. in terms of torpedo protection - wrong kind of steel, wrong structure and bracing, wrong everything.

If a Torpedo actually hit the Iowa, it would completely compromise the main belt in the same manner you just shitcanned Yamato for doing.

Bulges have nothing to do with it. It's what lies underneath that fucks everything up.
>>
>>45058243
no one asked you
>>
“I'M GONNA DIIIIIIE I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS-”

“STICK WITH THE PROD!” Crab bellows back.

“WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!?”

“IT MEANS-” Crab sits up to suck in a lungful of breath so impressive you feel a slight draft on the back of your neck - “POOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!” His bellow booms and echoes over the wide open dock area of Fleet Activities Yokosuka with dark and terrible gravity growling in its belly, his rage made manifest in the acoustic spectrum. You imagine several seismographs in or near Tokyo just twitched slightly. Thus emptied, Crab falls back in his chair with a contended sigh.

“I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THE THING!” Yuudachi protests, the water climbing towards her calves... very, very slowly. “I'M GONNA SIIIIINK!”

From behind his cooler Crab produces a megaphone - having apparently expended his budgeted Effort for this task. “JUST GO TO YOUR HAPPY PLACE,” his amplified electronic voice echoes around the dock.

“MY HAPPY PLACE IS NOT IN THIS DOCK, POOOIIIIII! LET ME OUT!” She seems to catch sight of you. “ADMIRAL! ADMIRAL! HELP ME! MAKE HIM HELP ME!”

Crab appears to consider the prospect of you making him do jack shit highly unlikely.

Yuudachi will already hate Crab anyway so bailing her out will only make us more of a shining night type image, and even though Crab basically hates the sluts, he probably realizes killing/drowning them is a BAD IDEA, so he'll probably stop the "test" before it goes too far. Probably

The reason the Yamato system failed is because.

A. Her bulge system was fucking pants on head retarded, and incredibly weak for its size.

B. It relied on Japanese welds to hold it together. The same welds that had their heavy cruisers support structure literally cracking apart during any sort of rough weather during the 30's.

American welding wasn't literally worse than Hitler, and can actually withstand the explosion without fucking falling apart. Furthermore, the bottom of the belt is Class B plate, which is specifically designed to deform rather than break apart like the brittle, badly flawed pre-ww1 era Vickers Hardened armor used on Yamato.

TLDR: Eat a dick.

Yamato is named after Japan. She's literally the embodiment of their national culture. Of all the various shipgirls, Yamato is the least likely to consider defecting.

But I really don't see any of them being that interested in the idea. The shipgirls are being relatively well treated, and many seem to feel a strong sense of loyalty to their native country. The only ones I could see doing it are Nake (who's grown tired of Japan's popular culture), Tenryuu (I'm guessing she's sick of the IJN's passivity by now) and Shigure ("Someone please love me")

Only thing I can recall you ever saying about the options we don't pick is that shit gets worse in the background when we ignore it, but that it's guaranteed to happen because there's not enough time to do everything.

I can think of nothing in this quest that has established any kind of rule for how to tell what options not taken are and are not handled by peons - we certainly don't see Settle giving the orders for them. We didn't see him give any orders related to the other options THIS time! Did they happen?

I frankly don't care how you get your results. However, you're wasting time by staying there gloating. They do have a point about interviewing the ships that did manage a full manifestation. Set a recording device or some sort of monitor and then go.

"Hamp

Phones are a thing. And Hamp has one. An appointment could have been made. For that matter so does Akagi, and she has shown a willingness to be interviewed by the Spooks. Crab is just acting like this for sheer unmitigated joy of being a complete asshole. And you notice he didn't try this shit with say, Sendai, who would kick his fucking ass like nobody's business. Cause he's a coward and bully. And he's drinking on duty, while operating heavy machinery. That's against regs and a serious safety hazard.

Terror and Erebus are about 5'3", with thin, waifish builds that - if you could peel them out of their fucking coats for any length of time - have been visibly worsened by starvation.

The thing to remember is that /relative to ships of their time/, Terror & Erebus had the appropriate /length/, but maybe 1/10th the tonnage of top-line fighters. They had Literally One Job, which was to turn structures into parking lots, and were fitted more or less for that. If - IF - they were to go human again, they'd be petite and scrappy, with visible scars from the neck down from weathering shore bombardments.

>>45059680
I'd believe that if Crab wasn't doing this mainly to be a dick, that and this might undo some progress with Shigure (letting one's sister get traumatized isn't a good way to prevent her from having a relapse)

Crab's the real problem then the method as if someone less of an asshole was in charge, they'd do a more efficent method than use it as a blank check to traumatize some shipgirl with a verbal tic.

You peer down at the flustered, tap-dancing shipgirl as water eddies slowly about her ankles.

“... a scratch and sniff sticker?”

“I shit you negative,” Crab replies. “She was still looking for it when I blocked off the stairs.”

“... well. That's... something,” you say dryly. “Came to ask you about those goofy looking radar headsets we were making-”

“What about 'em?” Crab asks. “I've received components for at least six; they just need proper mounting.”

“We just got a surprise mission tasking,” you tell him. “And it's gonna be a night battle. How fast can you mount them?”

“Me? I don't do that shit,” Crab advises you. “I've got a few geeks who aren't completely in-fucking-competent with a buzzbox, they can get that shit set up with time to spare. Especially if I'm revving up Thor just to hear the wheel do that cool skiirrllllll thing.”

“... why,” you say flatly.

“Because,” Crab says. “That sound is to an angle grinder what revving is to a CHAINSAW! I HOPE YOU KNOW I PACK A CHAIN-SAW, WHAT!” Crab air guitars, beer bottle dangling from between two fingers adroitly. “A CHAINSAW, WHAT! A MUTHAFUKKIN CHAIN-SAW, WHAT!” He pulls a phone from his shirt pocket and starts tapping out a text message with his thumb, barely glancing at the screen.

“... how do you type that fast, like that?” Hamp wonders.

“Not that hard, it's mostly pre-made phrases saved to memory.”

Hamp quirks an eyebrow. “To send technical orders?”

“Most of them are form letters,” Crab replies airily as Yuudachi's winsome cries keep intensifying. “Dear douchenozzle/fuckface/shitbag, get off your fucking ass and do <thing> you were supposed to do this morning/last week/last month/ever in your miserable fucking life but you just can't be arsed instead of jacking off/whining about remedial TIG classes you whiny cocksucker/trying to duck shifts working on that LCS because baaaw aluminum is hard.” He peers at at his phone and adds a few more taps.

“What was that?” Hamp asks.

“PS - I always hated you the most. Yes, you.”

“Did you send that to all of them?”

“Keeps 'em guessing,” Crab says, sipping at his beer again. “You'll have your headsets on time.”

“Efficient,” you observe.

“I got mah fukkin ways,” Crab agrees. “I'm a goddamn savant.”

“Of the idiot variety,” Hamp says drolly.

Crab rotates his head to regard Hamp with his sunglasses-mirrored gaze. “Next time I fix you, I will weld a steel dildo to your forehead.”

“Hard up for action?” Hamp returns levelly.

“What crawled up your ass and died?”

“A filthy redneck son of a b-” Hamp is cut off as Crab shoves the blunt end of his empty beer bottle in his mouth before picking up his megaphone again. “FINE! NEW TACTIC! YOU WANT HELP!?”

“YESSSSSSS POOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIII~” Yuudachi wails.

“FOLLOW MY LEAD!” Crab's megaphone blares. “RUN UP THE FOREMAST DOWN THE POOPDECK!”

Yuudachi stares, her mouth hanging slack as water eddies about her calves.

“RUN THE JIB UP THE BOWMAST! HAUL UP THE MAIN YARDS! FURL FULL CANVAS UP THE MIZZENSPIRT!”

A strange shadow seems to creep over Yuudachi's face, visible even from this distance. Somehow, without any tilt of her head that you can detect from here, her eyes have already vanished in the surprisingly dark shadow cast by her own hair.

How odd.

“HOIST YON FUCKIN SAILS, YUH FOUR-MASTED DOUBLE-BLASTED FUCKIN SEAMEN SUCKING SCHOONER-SLU-” Crab pauses as Hamp taps him on the shoulder, using the neck of the bottle jammed in his mouth. He turns the megaphone onto Hamp and Publicly Addresses him at point-blank range. “THE FUCK YOU WANT, HIPSTER HULL?”

They'll never use them, but they still have them.

Eyes wide open and fixed on the large man, Hamp tightens his jaw. A sharp crinkling SNAP sounds in the air - and then a very peculiar crushing sound. The bottleneck lurches upward as Hamp sucks it in with his lips, chewing and chewing and chewing - and with a final swallow, just like that, it's gone.

Crab blinks.

Hamp glares.

Crab reaches back for his cooler, very slowly... and produces another beer bottle. Cautiously, he raises it, and guides it towards Hamp's mouth. The ship-boy leans forward, seizes the end between his teeth and consumes it. There's a crack, and then a sucking sound. The metal cap on the end buckles, then implodes as the bottle's sucked dry - and the bottle follows.

Crab tilts his head, squinting at Hamp, and reaches for a third bottle-

- when the sound of air being rapidly displaced ruffles through your hair. You all sense a certain tension in the air, a kind of electrostatic frisson creeping over your skin. You all turn just in time to see a familiar blonde-haired girl leaping from the deck of a full-sized destroyer now sitting in the bottom of the drydock. She sails through the air, her leap high enough to shame any Olympian who ever lived - and lands on the concrete pier near you with a sharp CRACK as her metallic boots make contact. You and Hamp are staring at the destroyer-from-nowhere; the odd two-stacks separated by superstructure, the small, tower-like forecastle - but Crab is concerned with the oncoming Yuudachi. Her arms hang wide at her sides, hands curled into hooks. For a second you can almost swear you see a faint aura rising from her, but it's just her fine platinum-blonde hair rising behind her in the sea breeze. Every inch and expression in her form speaks to her killer intent.

“You,” she hisses. “You fucking yankee DOG. You swine. You farm-animal fornicator-”

Crab squints at her, rubbing his chin as she approaches.

“I'm going to rip your guts out for that. I'm going to shatter your bones and spike your kidneys on them and roast them like marshmallows. I'm going tOOOB-” she manages as the end of a beer bottle is popped right into her mouth without warning.

Crab steps back, holding his chin as he patiently awaits the outcome of Trial #3.

Pro fucking tip:

A) I don't fucking run the support shops. Crab does. If you want to fucking have it out with Crab about what he does on duty, talk to him. At this point he's stop lossed and no fucking JAG will touch his ass because they know that even if they go after him for UCMJ violations his civil suit will fucking wreck the fuck out of the navy.

B) I literally could not give less of a fuck since I have *much* better shit to spend my time doing than bitching at Crab about drinking on duty operating heavy machinery. I don't care.

C) At this point Yokosuka is a fucking black hole of regs. Not as in 'there are so many that no one can fucking function" but as in "They're mostly fucking guidelines than actual rules". The girls threw a lot of shit right out the fucking window and meat like crab that can actually work on them is rare enough that you can get away with just about fucking anything as long as you're not somehow rendering them combat ineffective. And I'm pretty sure there's a fucking waiver in this case anyfuckingway.

>>45060326
also for the record, IRL we have real shipyard workers like Crab who can do pretty much whatever the fuck they want because they GET THE JOB DONE and have magic hands/instutional knowledge that is literally a national security asset. I know stories that I can't say because ~they implicate too many people~ about how much the shipyards pay the Crab types and are willing to legally cover for them because they GET SHIT DONE.

I work with them in my IRL job, so for me Crab is like a refreshingly shockingly realistic character, so planefag, 10/10 for this guy.

With military force reductions, combined with a lot of telented people saying "fuck this shit I'm out," you get a stubborn smart person who stays in for xyz reason, and he ends up knowing all of the shit, thus becoming the critical nucleus of shipboard knowledge. Why do you think Warrent Officers exist/LDOs exist, because The navy is willing to toss $$$$ at technical experts to get them to train the next generation, rather than loose them to a shipyard and have to pay a contractor $$$$. The Virginias had this issue, Seawolf was a nightmare, 78 will end up like this because with the improvements made to 79 and 80, they will be nearly unique ships, I mean the radar alone will be redesigned for 80, meaning FCs will have to totally requal..

Cmon, he's obviously based on one of the cabal. I'm guessing Ghost or Mouse.

[X] Toss Poi over your shoulder and bring her with you

You're surprised that a Marine needs help to fire a gun?
>>
>>45060961
I don't think his rifle has a crew, but he probably wound up consulting hers.
>>
>>45060928
You didn't know? Planefag was bitten by a radioactive shop teacher when he was in middle school. Since then he's lived a double life while fighting crime. His alter ego is pretty famous around here.
>>
>>45060977
Ghost is Hate. Dunno who plays Crab.
>>
>>45060964
I got mine from last Summer event. I didn't really feel the need for her since I literally had a shitton of buckets to spare during events.

HATE FAE ON IOWA WHEN?
>>
>>45061023
You mean Hate seamen on Iowa when?
>>
>>45061035
PART OF THE SHIP, PART OF THE CREW
>>
>>45060795
Anyone with any amount of common sense.
>>
>>45061035
If he doesn't finish inside her I'll be disappointed in him for not being a real marine.
>>
>>45060990
She's currently in shipmode though. I don't want to shatter our knees and shoulder and wrists.
>>
>>45061045
I would pay if all of the Iowa fairies were tiny, cute and angry Hates
>>
>>45061051
Dude, I've played most CoC campaigns. Little fae are no shit. They're probably just 1/1D3.
>>
>>45061067

dyel bro

>>45061035
Hate is Iowa's Seaman!

Imagine a BB full of tiny little Hates.
You get Iowa.
>>
If they came back, I shudder to think what mobile dry docks would look like as shipgirls.
>>
>>45061057
Do you really think he'll have the choice of pulling out in the first place?
>>
>>45060934
Is Yamato's bird fairy cuter than Iowa's freedom fairy?
>>
>>45061081
>>45061068
>Iowa is never lonely because she has mini-Hate to cheer her up
>>
>>45061083
Mombotes. Get your mind out of the gutter.
>>
>>45060961

Nah, mine's conventional.

I mean, where the fuck would I put a guncrew anyway? Hollow out an ACOG or Eotech, maybe. Put little binocular rangefinders on there?

... wait, that's not a half fucking bad idea.

Unbirthing, anon. Unbirthing.

>>45061083
Like a elementary school bodybuilder. 4'3" and ripped beyond imagination.
>>
>>45060964
I always forget about her repair ability, I have a positive bucket balance even though I bucket for anything longer than one hour.
>>
>>45061096
How would that work, would mini-hate be fuckin psychic or some shit and just KNOW?
>>
>>45061107
Welp.

What have I done.
>>
>>45061068
>Iowa class gunturrets
>full of Marines
Seems legit
>>
>>45061119
Don't you mean un-berthing?

>>45061147
You're a witty little cunt, I'll give you that.

Boooooooo

On your sword and on your torpedo.

Portable surgery table, of course.

And now I'm wondering if USS Medusa will have the ability to turn people to stone and have snakes for hair.
>>
>>45060230
>If they came back, I shudder to think what mobile dry docks would look like as shipgirls.
A Godsend.
>>
>>45061187
Prolly not given that has nothing to do with the ship but I wouldn't be surprised if she has some crazy hair.
>>
>>45061128
hot
>>
>>45061194
I am now picturing a small girl water walking, while holding a fuckin DDG over her head in a dead lift.
>>
>>45061166
If Tenders would be gigantic mom boats with bandages and first aid equipment and baskets of food, mobile dry docks would be the super swole power lifting girls, able to lift absurd things.
>>
>>45061224
Holding a supercarrier.

>>45061083
their fitout is a squat rack and barbell
destroyers use them as a swing set

>>45061147
I've arrived and shot! Also, fuck you anon.

>>45061224
Guys shipgirls have ship parts too. That's what the cranes are for.

Sorry to ruin your fantasies.

NEW THREAD >>45061156

Last update for the night, we also have a bit of Nakatime and another few writeups inbound!
>>
>>45061249
The original speculator or the one who commented on that?
>>
>>45061249
You know we wouldn't settle for anything less
>>
>>45061107
Do it. It will be magnificent.
>>
>>45061268
I had to take a shot for the boat pun. That's what it was about.
>>
On the one hand, I can respect Crab’s accumulated knowledge, skills, and experience, I admire his professional work-ethic (and desperate attempts to pummel a similar mentality into his underlings/eventual successors), and I can fully understand why he’s so pissed off by being stop-lossed and taking it out on anyone who comes within reach.

On the other hand, a better bedside manner would probably get him better treatment from, well, everybody, including Personnel Command, and might actually prompt them to do something to make him marginally less unhappy in his current circumstances. Because acting like a raging bag of suppurating dicks, while probably gratifying, is *not* getting him anywhere.
>>
>>45061323

It got him results in this last thread, though!
>>
>>45056451
I'd go with the USA intentionally making the war take longer or the fact that the elevens were also up to some shit.
>>
>>45058594
Isn't our would goddamn job to do what we can to see shipsluts not get stressed out as much as possible?
