“They have the range, Naka,” you observe calmly. “Shut off your lights and steer course two-five-three degrees.”

“Copy,” she replies breathlessly as a salvo of light shells rains into the water behind her - not too close, but not comfortably distant, either. “What am I doing when I get there?”

“Smoke,” you instruct. “Drop trou and ride dirty, honey.”

“Are you a bad influence on Harder or is he a b-” she's cut short by another cascade of light shells hitting the water ahead and to the right, gouts of sand and seaweed flying high as they strike the shallow bottom near the island's shore. “Aaaand that was a bracket,” she says quietly.

“Kitakami, Ooi, st-”

“We're ready, Ad-”

“Launching,” Kitakami's flat voice intones.

“Kitakami, you're-”

“It's not the Admiral's place to micromanage each ship!” Kitakami snaps back. Her go-pro feed jiggles a bit as she heels into a hard turn, waiting till she's leveled out a bit before swinging out her tubes and unleashing a hellacious broadside. Long Lances leap through the air like uncoiling snakes, arcing into the dark fog-shrouded water four at a time, till ten sets are away, screaming south in a wide spread.

“Admiral?” Ooi inquires.

“Go,” you instruct her. “All of them.” In a night brawl like this any Long Lances on deck are simply a liability, and you're unlikely to get a better chance to unleash them than this. Ten more quadruplets of long lethal fish slide into the drink. The tactical plot updates with two closely-overlapping shaded cones - the rough area the Type 93 oxygen torpedoes are currently screaming through. They overlap nicely on the mostly-orderly rows of the densely-packed convoy trying to bull its way through the strait.

You don't know where they were headed, but their new itineraries are closing at 52 knots.

The Malyasian gunboats are pressing their attack on their eldritch counterparts, fog swirling in on the long clean tracks their high prows slice through the night at forty-five knots. The Kasturi trails behind at twenty-eight, her newly-reinstalled four-inch forward gun barking steadily, walking shells towards the darting phantoms of hostile boats half-glimpsed in the fog. The Spica's open up with their 57mm turrets, the terrible rapid thunder of the autoloading weapons booming through the mist. Sheets of water douse the mist as they bank hard, weaving through one another's wakes, incoming cannon fire splashing wide as they swing their fantails through violent turns, 40mm aft turrets adding to the din. You switch to the Global Hawk's IR feed as the dueling speedboats merge and begin circling each other at close range, their helmsman never letting them rest for a second; machine gun tracers licking through the night and ricocheting off the water to skip skyward like lost comets. The drone operators flip through the Hawk's filters, combining them in various multi-sensor schemes to try and clarify the picture, but for whatever reason you can see nothing more distinct than the churning of the mist over the racing duelists below.
>>
And through this maelstrom charges Naka. She weaves to and fro as best she can, but without the radar systems and IFF equipment on the gunboats she dare not fire into the melee lest she strike her own allies. The abyssal cruisers fire slackens for a few minutes; primaries and secondaries both - from what you can glimpse of their masts (and rigging!?) above the fog, they seem to be executing a simultaneous turn to port, hard as they can.

You glance askance at your watch. Twelve minutes to cover 14,000 odd yards - and you're only about halfway there.

The two cruisers looming in the dark continue sailing their lonely battle-line south, right down the middle of the strait, eight-inchers thundering to the East and six-inchers West. Two small digital dials are superimposed on the upper-left corner of the map, counting down - maybe a minute left till the Long Lances meet the hapless convoy.

The Lekir is the first to see blood drawn as she and her Spica escort circle well north of the convoy, escaping the treacherous confines of Sunda's narrowest point. A great fireball climbs high above the leading edge of the mass of contacts that jitters and fades and morphs in and out of resolution on the tactical plot; lighting, if only for a few seconds, the mass of ships that crowd Sunda Strait.

“Are those fucking longboats?” Goto breathes.

“Does it matter?” you return.

“Not if they draw more than five feet,” he agrees.

They don't. The carnage begins to unfold with horrific intensity; some vessels on the leading edge taking two or even three hits. Kitakami and Ooi were careful to space themselves as widely as the Strait would allow; and the hasty and ill-advised evasives of the longboats serve to provide even better broadside angles. The Hawk switches to thermal, then reverse thermal; the world becoming a washed-out white plain with the flickering specters of dancing flames its only inhabitants. More and more sprout as the leading quarter of the convoy is struck again and again, sinking ships absorbing torpedoes for their fellows.

No matter. Ooi's salvo is close behind.

The abyssals gun line has completed their turn, swirling fog leaving a faint trace of their 180 degree emergency turns. The leader now the trailer, they surge through the mist as they strive to regain lost speed, chasing the two shadowed cruisers south. The secondary battery opens up on Naka again, a rough ladder salvo that drops raggedly to either side. Naka's camera feed begins to dip and sway alarmingly in its mount as she strains her boilers to the max, slamming her rudder from side to side, but the quick-firing secondaries ranging her easily as she chases through the wakes of the big cruisers their primaries are already engaging.

“Flare ship on station, sir,” one of the Ops room people says in your ears. “Awaiting tasking.”

Sorry this went up almost an hour late. First I had to fight with GIMP to try and put a few god damned labels on the CMANO map to help jog anon's memory and after fucking with the new goddamned text-tool interface in GIMP I finally fucking gave up. I used to rely on the GIMP a lot, but for years now every successive upgrade has removed important functionality, made existing functionality harder to use and just fucked shit up, like this fucking "export" bullshit. If I wanted Paint Shop Pro, I'd fucking use that in the first place, assholes.

Anyone know a good freeware/open source image editing program that isn't the fucking GIMP?

We need intel and the convoy can be dealt with by KTKM and Ooi.

We need Jintsuu and Sendai to start moving back to the southeastern side of the island, they still have some torps left don't they? They can deny area to the incoming cruisers or score free hits, or at least draw fire for Naka and the two probable friendlies.

planefag, do our two FFGs have fiiring solutions for their 5 inchers on the spotlighting ships of the enemy fleet?

And where are those exocets?

By lighting it the fuck up NOW, however, we force the enemy into evasives or knowing that they're facing massive incoming that's far more accurate, plus it gives any remaining torps we have a much better aiming solution.

Plus it'll make ramming exocets down their face a lot easier.

Ah, thank you for the update on that, then.

Well, we need to keep them out of the fight but they could set up a short line a little closer, the aster 15 is short ranged after all, so they should close a little more to maybe a mile or two inside 5 inch range.

At this point we need all the gun we can firing, and even if they can't get their missiles in play their rapid 5" fire on the convoy could tip the balance if it means we can divert more CLs to torp runs and slamming HE into those fucking unknowns.

You can expect those to start flying shortly, btw. The flare ship can absolutely *shit* flares however, and they last longer, too. Treat it as an effective combat bonus to whatever you are engaging, or the ability to search an area of ocean without devoting secondaries to hurling shells out to peek.

Superstructure means fucking everything you retard. You lose your radar, and your fucking FINISHED in a night battle.

You lose your Radio, and you're all fucking alone.

You lose your primary FCS, and now you're shafted because you're stuck using local control, which can also be knocked out by the sheer shock of shells hitting the turret, or striking the rangefinders on the turrets themselves. This is in addition to the fact that local control is both inefficient, and inferior to the primary FCS.

Don't underestimate the value of volume of fire. Arizona BARELY won against a pair of predreadnoughts at point blank ranges during the day.

So, tactical analysis as of now.

Lekir and one gunboat currently have a front-row seat to the longboats getting blown the fuck up, to the northwest.

KTKM and Ooi (how the fuck do you even pronounce ooi) have just blown their wads, so they're hanging out with the chunniboat and her sister to block of their half of the strait.

The frigates are still holding position, in reserve.

Jintsuu and Sendai haven't had their movements updated recently- we know they're in the eastern half of the strait, we know they both fired torpedos already, and that's about it.

Houston and Perth are still steaming south, counter to the invasion convoy, which is still lighting them up with spotlights. Houston is firing at the cruiser line, Perth at the spotlights in the convoy.

The cruiser line has reversed course to maintain fire on Houston, Perth, and Naka.

Naka is moving to join Houston and Perth to provide smoke. She still has her full load of torpedoes.

Katsuri and the remaining four gunboats are currently stuck in with a gaggle of abyssal torpedo boats, keeping them off of Naka and Houston/Perth's backs.

Flare ship is on station.

F-16s are on CAP station

Hawks yet to enter the field.

Hate still in reserve.

With the laser pointer in your “hook,” you circle the dark ocean between Krakatoa and the Java coast. “Have them light the hell out of that area,” you instruct. “And keep the Global Hawk watching, too. I'm tired of getting ambushed by these assholes.”

The operator watches the little mouse cursor that chases your laser pointer like a curious puppy, then confirms the order and starts giving the Combat Shadow... Talon... whatever the fuck they tasked to you its IP and ingress headings.

“Fuck,” Naka whispers under her breath as a scattering of light shells thunders into the ocean in a ragged ring around her, the spray blurring the go-pro feed for long seconds before the saltwater slips from the treated lens. She turns to look at her harasser, which seems to be the former lead-ship of the abyssal cruiser division, now tailing his compatriots chasing Naka's course south. “Fuck *you,*” she hisses, unloading her own broadside. The shells punch through the misty darkness, the faint blurry streaks visibly widening as they vanish into the darkness - and then the Java coastline is lashed with the bright sulfurous light of star-shells as they bloom to life high above. The hulking form of a late-1880s warship is revealed, conflicting shadows from the multiple shells throwing strange angles of shadow every which way. Naka manages to drop her first salvo only three hundred yards short despite that. The second abyssal cruiser - something with tall masts barely glimpsed in the sallow light that slides off their slick-looking shafts - lets fly with its own staggered salvo, shell splashes marching steadily closer to the bobbing, weaving bollio.

Switching to the Global Hawk, you get a pretty decent look to compare with the director on the Kasturi - she's apparently lost interest in the fleeing abyssal PT boats and is lobbing 100mm shells at the tailing cruiser with her solitary gun. More muzzle flashes brighten the darkness from the uppermost decks - quick-firing guns, and a lot of them.

“It never Shigure's but it pours,” Naka says, her tone rather empty as she returns fire; shells dropping depressingly wide. Her mad dodging is disrupting her own solutions, but she's running out of salvos to pursue; two ships worth of QF guns churning the water around her into froth. The patterns are none too tight, but worryingly persistent - she's got some armor, but she's also patched together with duct tape and hope.

“Five-thousand,” Naka whispers, “Five-hundred and a hair for that cute little ass-wiggle you're gonna try, you son-of-a-” her seven small turrets bark again, the meager salvo whistling away through the dark -

- and landing athwart the abyssals beam with tremendous blasts. The vessel vanishes from sight behind the towering water columns; the very fog itself dispelled by the concussion.

“Wwhwhaaa-” Naka stammers, sounding very much like her old self for a half-second. “Bombs!?”

“Seven,” you whisper to yourself, eyes fixed on your wristwatch. “Eight. Nine. Te-”

This time the hulking cruiser emerges from the drenching still rocking as it rights itself, hull plates stove in by tremendous force.

“She's firing explosive,” you tell Naka. “Suppressing those secondaries with splinters.”

“Who?”

You smile thinly. “You'll see. Start making smoke.”

Naka's finally gaining on the two cruisers - they seem to be sluggish, perhaps still building steam. The tailing ship is lost to view behind a straddling salvo of HE shells, a stray shell splinter whistling past Naka's head - but on the mast of the taller ship, just barely poking above the fog, a tattered ensign waves. In the coal-black sky above abyssal flares ignite, smoldering sullenly. In the star-shells red glare you can see the shrapnel shredded American flag waving from her mast.

“Hello, Houston,” you whisper. “Hell of an entrance.”

That's the personal issue - BB's rely a lot on that one fucking shot hitting and doing massive damage. Perfectly fine for slugging it out with BB's, but thin armored cruisers are really a BB's most annoying foe as they just flamethrower you to death and you can't hit them at all.

USS Monitor was provided with a full sailing rig. For use at sea, of course, when traveling long-distance down the coast. Setting it up took some time during which they were vulnerable, however.

So on her maiden voyage, the crew sailed two miles from homeport, stopped, looked both ways, and then proceeded to, neatly and orderly dump that shit in the fucking ocean.

So uh, some INTERESTING shit has gone down in the past couple of sessions...

First up, we have the Krauts being Krauts, with Graf Spee and Seydlitz capturing a couple humanoid Abyssals, finding out that they might possibly be shipgirls or even regular human girls twisted into Abyssal forms, and resolving to rehabilitate them. The Admiral greenlights it, but warns them to keep it a secret from the higher ups, as they've got spies hidden in the crew. Local head scientist suffers minor SAN loss from the revelations.

Victorious and Hoel get all buddy buddy, and even do a bit of clothes swapping. Unfortunately, while Victorious is trying out Hoel's uniform, she gets mistaken for a Fletcher, gets drafted into torpedo run practice, and somehow, SOMEHOW blunders her way through it, inadvertently making friends with three adorable Fletcher imoutos, who think she's a fellow Fletcher called "USS Robin". Victorious tries to convince her new friends that she's actually a carrier, and asks Hoel to back her up. Unfortunately, Victorious rolls a critfail to persuade so Hoel instead playfully bullies Victorious by not telling them the truth. Victorious tries to summon her planes, but forgot that she left them back at base for R&R, and then the Fletchers show her their upgraded floatplane catapults, and are still not convinced she's a carrier.

At this point Victorious suffers maximum SAN loss and genuinely believes that she's actually the USS Robin. So much so that her Rig actually changes from a British carrier to an American destroyer. EVERYBODY suffers minor SAN loss upon finding this out. Local head scientist loses slightly more.

So now at this point everybody is convinced Fletcher destroyers carry some kind of contagious assimilation disease, and "Robin" is put into containment.

Meanwhile Annapolis tries to analyze. Abyssal transmissions and loses a wee bit of SAN in the process. Picks up an a new appreciation for HP Lovecraft...

The Admiral's drinking intensifies.

I am assuming - I don't actually know, but am ASSUMING that this doesn't imply doing something ridiculous like slowing down integration into the chain of command, since that would be insane of Settle to do.

Similarly, I assume that Settle is going to let Naka know what he knows here rather than continuing to be dramatic about it.

Those are the two avoidable stupid things that might happen via this choice, as far as I can figure.

The last is that anti-Japan hatebonering happens from the Housten, but the thing just saved Naka, so I'm hoping that isn't what's about to happen.

if going by KC standards, likely a rather 'healthy' 16. These days the physical/mental ages of the class goes up to 16.

Cruisers seem to range from 15 to mid 20's (Sendai sisters and the older Takao sisters)

Dunno about Jeanx's standards as Ari's a runt of a BB by KC standards.

With a word to the ops personnel, your microphone is slaved to the radios in the Global Hawk, giving you an excellent, high-power broadcaster at good altitude. The wartime frequencies of every ship that served in the USN, as well as their codes have been long-since archived for quick lookup. A small army of unseen and unthanked ensigns and warrant officers are doing their best to ensure your first words will be heard loud and clear.

Now you just need to make them count.

You take a breath, open your mouth -

- and *roar* as a heavy salvo of shells nails Naka dead-on. Her Go-Pro rocks violently. It tilts down, following her eyes as her hands feel her middle cautiously. “HE, belt,” she says, the relief in her voice a little too intense - but you doubt anyone'd note it unless they knew about the rent in her middle.

The abyss.

“Beg your *pardon!?*” a sweet voice with a slight southern lilt replies.

“... hi I'm Rear Admiral Settle and we're uh, helping,” you offer.

“... isn't that girl-”

“Yes,” Naka says flatly as she finally overtakes the trailing vessel. “It's me.” Smoke begins to billow from the stacks of her outfit; chemical fires churning out thick voluminous smoke that mingles with the drifting fog beautifully. “Yes, it's me.”

>>45348947
All I'm going to say is that the two had creative differences. Navy had a personal issue with how Planefag was running things and decided to call it quits. Simple as that.

“... ain't you-”

“Java Sea, yes.”

“... yer that midget lass that-”

“Yes, all forty. I'm on YOUR side now,” Naka strains, her tone a bit terse as another salvo of five-inch shells rains into the water near her.

“I needn't have been worried,” she replies. “You couldn't hit a bull's ass at ten feet with a handful of ri-”

“Are we really going to do this NOW?” Naka says, overtaking Houston's stern, drawing the cloak of smoke cover between the beleagured defenders of Sunda Strait and the hostile gunline. Their big guns fall silent, the Malaysian fast-attack forces racing forward to lose the eager salvos of bored secondaries in the tailing edge of Naka's smokescreen. Within moments Houston's swiveled her big eight inch batteries to starboard, joining Perth (for Perth it must be) in drenching the massive convoy in fire. From the sound of it their starboard secondaries have been hammering away nonstop for the last hour, and the Global Hawk's camera is showing the grim evidence of their efficiency. The tiny black bobbing craniums of *something* are thrashing about amongst the splintered and burning remains of the longboats; a few light escorts weaving and bobbing through what's left of the invasion transports after eighty Long Lances went smashing through their formation.

“Lucifer One-One,” a smooth Pilots Voice croons into your ear. “Making our run.”

The Hawks camera slews south as a hint of motion against the sky suggests the C-130 moving in - even on thermals it's exhaust are shrouded against IRST and heat-seeking missiles. Then come the flares, white-hued and blazing hot, illuminating the ocean for miles and miles. You scan it quickly, knowing a youngster with better eyes than you is doing the same thing in the ops room -

- and sure enough, the camera picks a speck out of the sea and zooms in quickly; flicking through filters even as the image refocuses. Thermal, IR, light-enhancement - and then the meta-filters, various combinations flipping through ever faster as some young whizkid warrant officer works his magic.
And just like that, he ceases - on a stark negative image of something white plowing through the dark seas, its lines just solid enough to suggest the shape.

Two masts... and two turrets, fore and aft.

Shipgirl Essex when, Halley?

Ah, the Laconic response.

Don't turn her into Yamato 2: Electric Boogaloo.

The worst thing you can do to a ship is tell them they're useless. We should find a job for Arizona and not just bench her permanently.

And by "find a job" I don't mean insult her and give her non-ship related things to do.

TOO

SLOW

NOT ENOUGH AA

DECK ARMOR TOO THIN

You know the fuck what? I'm going to go ask her. I'm going to go ask a stupid fucking question and get a stupid look that' I'll fucking deserve just to prove you two fucking wrong. She replaced the fucking gun, it's no longer a part of her, you dipshits. Is a lizard's tail still fucking part of it after it detaches it and grows a new one?

Technically, yes.

Could Ari get the same AA suite and additional deck-armor that Pensyy got as a remodel or something?

Too bad the US uses the Phalanx instead.

>>45349888
You're not dealing with lizards, Hate.

You're dealing with the dead back to fight again. It's probably not in her control, but she might dream about it.

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE FUCKING HALO TO YOU, SHITHEAD? DO YOU SEE AN ONION RING OF DOOM HERE?
FUCK OFF BACK TO SB ORBITANON

...AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT TAKING MY FUCKING IDEAS I WILL WRECK YOUR FACE

Aya, I knew about that. That's what I had in mind when I mentioned it - though with an order of magnitude more firepower.

Fenrir is for long range sniping
Jormungandr is for when everything in front of you needs to die right the fuck now

Running planefag's stuff through Gizoogle is a GO. FUNFUNFUNFUN

"They have tha range, Naka," you observe calmly. "Shut off yo' lights n' steer course two-five-three degrees."

"Copy," she replies breathlessly as a salvo of light shells rains tha fuck into tha wata behind her - not too close yo, but not comfortably distant, either n' shit. "What is I bustin when I git there?"

"Smoke," you instruct. "Drop trou n' ride dirty, honey."

"Is you a gangbangin' finger-lickin' dirty-ass shitty-ass influence on Harder or is he a funky-ass b-" dat thugged-out biiiatch cut short by another cascade of light shells hittin tha wata ahead n' ta tha right, goutz of sand n' seaweed flyin high as they strike tha shallow bottom near tha islandz shore. "Aaaand dat was a funky-ass bracket," her big-ass booty say on tha fuckin' down-lowly.

"Kitakami, Ooi, st-"

"We ready, Ad-"

"Launching," Kitakamiz flat voice intones.

"Kitakami, you is-"

"It aint nuthin but not tha Admiralz place ta micromanage each ship!" Kitakami snaps back yo. Her go-pro feed jigglez a lil' bit as dat freaky freaky biatch heels tha fuck into a hard turn, waitin till she leveled up a lil' bit before swingin up her tubes n' unleashin a hellacious broadside. Long Lances leap all up in tha air like uncoilin snakes, arcin tha fuck into tha dark fog-shrouded wata four at a time, till ten sets is away, beatboxin downtown up in a wide spread. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka!

"Admiral?" Ooi inquires.

I mean, Akagi didn't summon a rusted-out hulk. Hamp didn't show up in a rusted-out hulk. Houston and Perth seem to be entirely shipshape. Same with Yuudachi.

That's five cases right there proving that summoning it has it pop up in the shipgirl's condition, not the wreck's. No proof on the wreck's condition staying the same yet.

Nah, just have Willie there to act as AA cover, she and Ari get along well as is.

I can't see how Mikasa and Aurora meeting will end well.

Though if Mikasa is anything like her dream version it's doubtful she'll be the one to start a fight.

I'd post a reaction pic if I could.

Do we know the two mast ship? What is so special about her?
>>
>>45350680
USS Iowa, BB-4. Showed up in the first battle of the thread, put a shell into Arizona's face, managed to slip away after Ari shot her up and literally blew BB-3 the fuck out.
>>
>>45350680
She's BB-4. The first Iowa. Arizona fought her way back in the first few threads.
