“PARKER!” Your flung injunction pins him to the floor mid-stride. “STAYWHEREYOUARE!”

Parker stays, still staring longingly at the door as he hunches his shoulders a bit. You snatch your smartphone out of your pocket and hastily tap at “J” in your contacts list, then tap for Jintsuu. The phone rings twice, then Jintsuu's characteristic good nature comes through. “Hello~”

“Jintsuu!” you exclaim. “I need you to put Naka in a deep hole, right the fuck now!

“I - ah - don't know if Harder's into that, Teitoku, but I can try?”

“I mean keep her away from any kind of goddamned TV or social media anything, you hear me? If she sees the news right now we're fucked.”

“... what? What happened-”

“Something that's not her fault and is actually a good thing.”

“... so-”

“Multiply by Bollio.”

“... oh. oh. Okay, we're just helping her get tape markers on the stage for rehearsals, so I might not be able to look into it till later, okay?”

“Wait, what?”

“I'll call you back about that! Bye!” You hear the phone rustling into a pocket, but the call doesn't terminate for several seconds longer - Naka's muffled voice greeting her sister in the background with some quip about her eyes having it, or whatnot.

You slip your phone into your pocket, then tap your thigh in frustration, a thousand new potentials and problems spinning through your head.

Then you round on Parker.

“YOU!”

Parker cringes even more and turns - ever-so-slowly - to face you.

“Me?”

“You,” you say, stalking towards him, a strange kind of calm fury sweeping over you. “You knew.

To his credit, he doesn't dodge your gaze. He just nods.

Kongou's already striding through the break-room door towing a reluctant Willie by her wrist, the destroyer's feet gliding over the floor with a subdued “weeki weeki” sound. Kongou slings her charge past her. Willie stiffens in abject terror, her hat rising by a quarter-inch with her hair. She weekiweeki's across the floor till you arrest her gently with your forearm. Willie seizes it and clings tightly.

“Who knew what!?” Kongou asks cheerfully. She pauses and cocks her head as she searches the ceiling. “And WHEN, Dess!?” she finishes, her eyes sparkling with wicked glee.

Parker rubs a palm up and down one side of his face, dragging his jaw open in a silent scream of horror. “Not here.”

“Indeed,” you agree. Parker strides past you towards the battered metal door in the far wall of the break room, sporting a unisex bathroom symbol.

“What not here!?” Kongou says, quite aware she's being dodged. She bounces over, bare feet squeaking on the cold tile floor. “Tell me what's going on!”

“Why?” Parker snaps irritably.

“Because the people have a right to know!” Kongou declares.
>>
Parker's clawed hands reach out from his sides as if he wishes he could go full Samson and pull the entire classified intel building down on Kongou's head; the only reply that can truly answer her blasphemy. “Ghaaaaddddammitshutup.”

“YOU CAN'T SHUT ME UP!” Kongou declares, looking a bit huffy. “TRUTH IS ETERNAL!”

“Truth,” Parker growls, “is for me to-”

“NO!”

“WHAT!?” he growls, the caffeine in his system causing his pulse to bounce so hard it lifts him off his heels and curls his fists.

“YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TROOOF! she cries as you shove Willie towards her. The little destroyer flies across the tile at high speed, emitting a high-pithced little wail that merges with the rapid ekiekiekiekiekiekieki from her feet before she cannonballs into Kongou. The slender woman steps back with the impact, bracing with the ball of her foot. Before she can recover, you and Parker have absconded into the bathroom. Shooting the bolt, you both put your backs to the door and brace a foot against the nearby commode. The heavy steel door jumps once with a powerful impact - and then you hear a faint “dessu,” followed by an audible Kongou Pout.

“... so,” Parker says with a sigh.

“Yeah.”

“So.” Parker rejoins.

“Yeah.”

“Yep.”

“Spit it out before I ram that fucking plunger down your-”

“You really want to fucking talk to me like that in a locked room with no witnesses-”

Try it you fucking skinny desk jokey-”

“Look who's fucking TALKING!” Parker snarls, shoving you hard - and bumping himself up against the opposite wall even as you stumble into the hand dryer. He sizes you up again and apparently adds a bit better this time - but the wild look in his eyes simply simmers down to a jumpy kind of fire.

Lekir and Kasturi were launched in 1984, and Kasturi sank less than 48 hours ago.

But simply - it means that ANY ship has the possibility of coming back. That ALL ships have a "shipgirl" inside.

That doesn't mean that a modern ship coming back as a ship-girl wouldn't be OP as all fuck.

Let's assume that a Burke get's sunk and comes back as a ship-girl. She no longer has to go back into port, summon her hull and have her missiles re-loaded manually, she can re-generate them like any other ship-girl assuming she eats enough. and theoretically she can use any missile that can be launched by a Burke. SAMs, Tomahawks, LRASM and VLS launched torpedoes.

The leveling effect is based on "effective in their era" IIRC.

Though by that logic wouldn't the Chunni boats be more effective due to how early they were made? I mean isn't that the reason why Kongou and her sisters are still rather effective despite having an outdated concept in WW2 (they were made about 15+ years before it kicked off)
>>
>>164303
Because we don't need to modify the tubes, just the missiles
Tomahawks and Harpoons have had torpedo-tube-launched variants, off the top of my head if I remember right
>>
>>164297
No, I was thinking Harpoons and Tomahawks don't carry the same explosive power of high-capacity shells.

Then again, a precision hit to the boiler could work, I guess.

>>164303
That's now how torp tubes on surface vessels work, mate.

Does that mean Canada will finally take care of her aging DDs?

>'Why can't we *just* modify the torpedo tubes to fire missiles instead?'
Wrong angle, torpedo tubes are at 90*, most missile tubes (for naval missiles) are at around 45*.

Also, your friend is drunk. he should go home.

>>164311
No, she just spams them with "Back In Control" by Sabaton

Modern submarines can launch missiles just in a different way.
>>
>>164315
>Though by that logic wouldn't the Chunni boats be more effective due to how early they were made?

I devoted some ink in quest and out of quest to this effect; it's not that their firepower is obsolete or anything, but rather their design scheme is optimized for a fleet role that no longer exists with other ships in the fleet. So it's hard to find a thing they're good at.

Sunda Straight was something they were good at, incidentally.

My tabletop buddies actually mathhammered it out, and found out that tomahawk missiles are actually smaller and lighter than mk16 torpedoes Fletchers usually carried, meaning they could potentially become tomahawk launch platforms.

No, it's literally been explained. The Leveling effect is really not as complicated as you people make it out.
Any ship that was top tier when it was built, is top tier now. Any ship that was meh when it was built is still meh, but it's meh by modern standards. They still have the limitations of their technology, but the leveling effect, well, levels the playing field.

It's not hard to understand. If something was comparably powerful at its prime, it's powerful now against modern vessels. If it was something you didn't want to fuck with back then, you don't want to fuck with it now. If it was state of the art in its prime, you can guess how it is now.

See, I thought it was OP because a modern ship-girl could get more missiles by literally just eating a large amount of food, as opposed to having to pull into port, summon her hull and re-arm manually. This would make her insanely cheap to operate when compared to a normal Burke.

I'm surprised the base hasn't just bought a bunch of Legos a communal thing. Everyone likes legos, it could be a nice thing to do while they repair.

Plus, a few hundred dollars for Legos--assuming the military can't negotiate some kind of discount--is a drop in the bucket for a military budget.

A guard steps on a few Lego bricks, loses his balance, falls at just the right angle and busts his knee - and breaks his radio at the same time.

While he's on his way back to the closest checkpoint, a group of malcontents sneak onto the premises, with malevolent intentions regarding one of our command staff.

Either Settle has to shank someone again, or one of our aides is found dead the next morning, his throat slit open and his eyes - and ID card - missing.

Alternatively, the guard in question notices the lego pieces ahead, bends down to pick them up, and is assaulted by said incursive strike force, slain with no undue conflict, and the body shortly after hid somewhere while the rest of the combatants go after their primary objective.

All because *someone* didn't clean up after themselves.

Man, when I was growing up in the 80s, I had Lego and my little brother had Duplo.

That or he took 10 minutes to vent his rage somewhere.
On that note, I apologize for being an idiot and somehow forgetting how the levelling effect works.
>>
I don't get how people keep misunderstanding the leveling effect. It's so intuitive.

It's literally a conversion manual. Specs don't matter, exact details don't matter, assuming the intent is the same. Chaff is meant to blind, so it gets converted to a language abyssals can understand. Missiles screw up because there's no parallel to their targetting fidelity, although if they're good enough they still hit pretty hard, pretty often.

Shipgirl Katsuri will have modern weapons, but modern =/= better with the leveling effect in play. If Katsuri was great in her prime, her missiles will hit more often for more damage, ect.

“... why didn't you tell me?”

“Tell you what!?” Parker snaps. “Tell you what!? I don't even know what you think I know-”

“Alive.”

The whisper fills the sterile little space to bursting. Parker meets your eyes for a split-second, and the fear in them is met with a shiver from your own spine.

He rubs his face with both hands. “Jesus.”

“Yeah.”

Another silence.

“All of them?”

“I was listening to Mustin humming 'anchors aweigh' not twenty minutes ago,” Parker says, his voice so low you're scarce sure you heard him.

Jesus,” you repeat, your voice a hoarse whisper. The white walls are pressing in on you, closing on your throat. “How long have you known?”

“Few nights after I refined the algorithm,” he mutters. “Heard a freighter whistling... I, just fucking said that, out loud.” He smacks his forehead with the heel of one hand. “This isn't happening.”

“This isn't happening,” you repeat.

“This can't fucking happen.”

“It's on fucking TV,” you retort.

Parker slams his heel into the door behind him violently, and says nothing. You've nothing to say, either - your head feels empty, almost adrift, the full implications too awesome - and too terrible - to fully grasp in this moment. Without asking, you know Parker's been ignoring it - shoving it far to the back of his mind to focus on every other task, every other pressing matter his expertise is so desperately needed for.

You can't blame him.

“Can we get the fuck out of here?” Parker growls. When you decline to object, he reaches behind him and leans on the handle, the lock disengaging automatically. You both stumble backwards out of the bathroom to find Kongou popping something white and coney into her mouth.

“... Kongou?”

“Mmmhmm?” she asks, smiling widely without parting her lips.

“... what's in your mouth?”

“Hmmm, mmmm, ummm?” she says, shrugging while trying to chew very surreptitiously. You slide your gaze towards the water cooler in one corner - and the stack of paper cones stacked to one side of it.

“Hmm dumm knowmm whhmm thatmm ishmm?!” Kongou tries, then swallows with visible difficulty. “Are you thirsty, Yankeetoku?”

A light clitterclatter of nails on tile echoes from the door as a corgi comes trotting in - sans outfit, but still sporting a little white sailors hat nonetheless. It gambols over to the sagging sofa where Parker's parked himself, seats itself, and stares up at the intel weenie expectantly. After a few seconds of Parker staring through the floor, it flattens its ears back and chuffs once.

Parker blinks; bleary eyes focusing slowly on the mutt. “... McHale.”

The dog barks once. Yes, that is indeed my name, so kind of you to remember.

“... come.” The word's scarce left his mouth before the dog's landing in his lap, turning in a few circles to properly cover his uniform shirt with dog hair before settling down contentedly, his little cap staying on with supernatural ease. As Parker begins to stroke his back absentmindedly, you drop your own hand onto Willie's shoulder and squeeze it reassuringly.

“... Settle.”

“Yeah.”

“It's not enough to work with,” he says flatly, stroking the dog slowly.

“No.”

“You know I can't... do much. They've got every spook-ass-sumbitch in the Alphabet Agencies chewing this one over, all of them cleared higher than I d-”

“I can take care of that.”

“Lately, I~'ve been hating losin sleep,” Parker sing-songs in an awful, raspy voice. “Dreamin about the leave that we could see, but Chief I've been workin hard, because no more cushy hours when we've been countin stars...”

You blink. “Uh-”

“Count your stars,” Parker says quietly. “You're a few short for that.”

“Got the lyrics wrong. It's 'lovin prayin hard',” you correct him. (You think.) “Just need someone to pray to.”

“And you've got one?”

“Damn tootin.”

“... I read you. Shake it loose, and I'll... do the things, you know?”

“Parker?”

“Yuh?”

“Go home.”

He shakes his head absently, still stroking the dog. “Still too much to-”

“Parker, that's-” you feel the word die in your throat at the purity of his sardonic stare; withering the cliche on your lips. You turn to your Marine. “Hate.”

“Hmm?” he says, turning away from a vending machine with his face full of Mrs. Vickies Jalapeno Chips.

“Parker needs a nap,” you say. “Do you have your sleepy stick?”

“Yrhrrm!” he confirms, producing a spring-loaded baton from his back pocket like magic.

“Marine tested,” you say, “and doctor approved!”

Parker blinks, too tired to process the humor. “What, really.”

You feel the dull, dour reality of it descend on you. “Actually, yes.”

“... oh,” he says airly. “Oh. Okay. I'll... just for a while.”

“I'll leave you to it.”

He nods at you, saluting the empty space where you were standing. Guiding Willie towards the door (under her own locomotion,) you're stopped at the threshold by a last interjection. “Willie!”

She stops, shivering under your hand as if she's expecting a reprimand.

“Remember to keep your guard up when you jab, okay?”

“O-o-ohk-k-k-kay,” she stammers.

Hate follows you into the hallway again, happily munching on his chips. Kongou has wandered away to chat with the Marine guarding the Even More Secure Area, and he seems to be enjoying it immensely. Kongou waves him goodbye and comes hopping over to you, her Styrofoam cup of tea still in hand.

“Hey,” you say.

“Yankeetokou~” she sing-songs. “Have a good bongou in the bathroom with Parker-san?”

“Hate was too jealous of our love, so he interrupted,” you return absently, hearing the reflexive bird from Hate taking flight behind you. “Have a nice chat?”

“Oh yes,” Kongou says as she walks beside you towards the door. “Sgt. Wilkins is a very nice young man.”

“And what did he know?” you ask as you push the door open and hold it for her.

“Jack diddly DESS!” Kongou snarls as soon as she clears the threshhold. “Tell me! TELL ME!”

“Tell you what?”

She swoons limply and falls against your left arm, clutching it tightly as she dangles. Toes dragging in the grass as you stride towards the SUV, she moans - “Tellllllllll meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~”

“Is ss-s-something w-w-rong?” Willie stammers, shivering under your guiding hand.

“Wrong?” Shoukaku asks as she pops open the vehicle's door - she slipped ahead to steal shotgun. Or something else; you notice a smartphone vanishing into her pocket. Her face clouds almost immediately when she sees you. “... Ryan?”

You freeze.

Shoukaku starts to curl inwards as she turns red, like a folded paper crane set alight.

“RYAN!?” Kongou exclaims.

“What?” you snap, shaking your arm to try and dislodge her. “WHAT?”

“RYYyyYYyyYYYyyYYyaaaAAaaaAAAnnnn!?” her voice oscillates mockingly. “YOU HAVE A FIRST NAME, DESS!”

“It's fake,” Hate informs her drolly as he pockets the crumpled-up chip bag. “He dropped out of the CNO's brasshole as a fully-formed turd, he never had a childhood.” He grabs one of her hands and pries it off your arm easily, thrusting her styrofoam cup into it. “And don't hand me shit like that, I'm not yer fuckin maid.”

“You wouldn't look any good in the outfit anyway!” Kongou sniffs.

“If it wasn't tea I would've chugged it just to show you,” he bitches, still sore over having to help someone without it being his idea. He barrels into the back of the SUV without breaking stride, slamming the door against the heat harshly, and sprawls over the backseat in a way that brooks no dissent.

“It's coffee,” Kongou sniffs imperiously. “Sgt. Wilkins saw I was out of tea and gave me a refill!”

“Well, shit,” Hate says. “Want me to hold it for you again?”

“Sure~” Kongou says sweetly. “Just sit up and cup your hands around your groin for me, dess~”

“Never outside of Thailand,” Hate opines before draping an arm over his eyes. He's limp and incommunicado within seconds.

With Willie safely ensconced between you and Shoukaku, you start the SUV's engine. The air conditioning roars to life, bathing you in its blessed cool wind. Above, seagulls wheel in aimless circles around the microwave tower, for no good reason you can name.

“... Admiral Settle?” Shoukaku asks with quiet politeness.

You keep staring at the tower.

“Admiral?”

“Huh?”

“Were we...”

Kongou's head appears between Shoukaku and Willie, thrust in from the rear seat. “Oooh, is this the part where you kissu, dessuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUU~” she complains as Shoukaku's elbow applies steady, firm pressure to push her back behind the seats. She never breaks eye contact with you. “Settle, is something wrong?”

You can't. No. You can't, not... not to her, not after everything you said last night, you can't even begin to admit to the fears creeping over you right now. But Willie is shivering silently beside you, her hands wrapped into a little ball in her lap as she tries to vanish into the seat cushions.

Bingo. Which is why SAMs in anti-surface mode inflict damage, but not very heavy damage and it doesn't penetrate armor worth a damn.

On the other hand, a ship can easily land a lot of those hits in the first minute of combat, compared to a more drawn out firefight required for traditional ships. Not everything translates perfectly. It's... weird. But for the most part, when it comes to "power levels," they level out.

And it's twenty Shipwrecks, yes. It'd hit as hard as a battlecruiser ought, that's for damn sure. And it would take it as poorly as a battlecruiser would, since they're not really armored. As one expects from a battlecruiser.

I had to put down my hand-me-down lawnmower today (all the way from 1949, converted from a standard unpowered push-mower to a gas-powered mower in 1964). It had more rust on - and in - it than the average Minmatar cruiser, and simply refused to start.

Huh. One wonders..

Hell, maybe that speedboat your neighbor has is alive!

The *Suzanne* probably wants to murder my immediate family then. Fishing boat developed multiple leaks, and my uncle took the Russian approach to the boat - aka, pull it up the bank, turn it over, and just leave it there to rust away.

A year ago, my cousins and I finally gave 'er a Viking funeral. With rather copious amounts of ammonium nitrate.

On the other hand going from "Kasturi came back" to "Shit what if all ships can come back" is not a big leap and from there to "Wait do they ALL remember" is even smaller.

The part about ships being alive even before becoming girls isn't really as important as the implications that can be deduced without that info anyways.

>>164937
I know it's not about the Kasturi, that it's that all ships have a living soul, down to civilian freighters.

I'm saying that seeing Kasturi, a modern ship come back as a shipgirl would make it obvious that more than just WW2 and earlier ships have souls that can come back. From there, it's not as big of a logical leap to get to where Parker is currently.

I would argue that it would not change, from what we know, scrapping is considered to be a "peaceful" end for a ship. I imagine that conditions for scrapping would improve, no more getting tore apart by Indians.

Kind of. Yes, a shipgirl might be able to overcome the fact that her design was absolute shit, but a superior design from the same time period fighting with the same amount of relative skill/tenacity will blow them the fuck out of the water.

Sure. assuming you fucking believe the russkies are telling the truth about their shit's capabilities, and not just posturing because outside of a few notable weapon systems, everything they fucking build is complete fucking garbage.

>would actually be capable of deleting conventional CVBGs
no, it would not be able to, just like how a conventional Kirov cannot delete a CBG.

"This shit is really weird."

My point. Which planefag has ignored in favor of posting a strange image. ~sasuga planefag~
>>
>>165133
Personally I'd take the leveling effect on a per-element basis, rather than overall with the ship. Planefag uses it pretty piecemeal, like how for example it leveled smokescreens (visual disruption) and ECMs (radar disruption) into morally equivalent.
So think torp vs armor, or stuff like that.
>>
>>165127
But the implications for the normal fleet... Also, I was the guy that proposed the signal from Petropavlovsk might have been from the Russian shipgirl program, and I know it's a stupid idea in reflection, but based on the Deutschland write up and Lutzow's description of it, any shipgirl that ended up in Russia is going to be in for a bad time to put it charitably.

Oh, you mean the modcop STG-44 he built?

what the fuck about it?

Don't get me wrong, the AK isn't the worst rifle I've ever fucking seen, and it works really well for what it's designed to fucking do, which is give untrained conscript trash enough firepower to do something other than die in combat. It's durability is a reflection of the fact that it's designed for untrained conscript trash who can't be fucked to maintain their weapons assuming they're even fucking taught how to. Incidentally, this is why every third world shithole and fourth rate warlord, dictator, and shithead gives AKs to their 'armies'. they're cheap, they're damn near fucking idiot proof, and they work.

That's why, after the task force hit Ramadi, they were able to recover and account for nearly every fucking rifle. Haji doesn't like AR platform weapons, not even the ACRs and shit we had. He can't fucking maintain the damn things.

To be fair, I've said that, if I were getting dropped into a combat zone somewhere and didn't know what the hell to expect in terms of logistical support and the situation on the ground, just that I needed to select one rifle to keep myself alive, I'd probably grab an AKM, since I can find ammo for it anywhere, fix it with a hammer and a swift kick, and if it breaks beyond that, I can get it fixed in any bicycle shop.

Though, I must say, it is quite easy to lose ships when one doesn't have a viewer active - almost lost Tatsuta on my second last run through 1-5 (currently attempting to boost up a certain shipgirl to Kai Ni because FUCK CARRIERS) due to not being able to check the statuses of my currently deployed fleet in the AAR.

To elaborate more on this, before I knew of Kancolle, my opinion on the total destruction of the IJN was somewhere around FUCK YEAH (with the exception of the scrapping of the Hosho, which, being the world's first purpose-built aircraft carrier, really should have been saved and turned into a museum ship).

But then when one puts faces, identities, to the ships... well, then one starts thinking somewhat differently. And then one then contemplates the loss of life incurred when the actual ship sank...

...The IJN still had it coming, though.

“Nothing's wrong,” you stress. “It's just a lot to think about, that's all.”

“What is?”

“What we talked about last night,” you say to offer a technical truth.

A second later Kongou and Hate's heads pop out on either side of Willies, mooning at you and Shoukaku both. Hate's gone full-on Hudson Grin, staring at you in the rearview mirror. You plant your elbow on his nose and push. He's already set his feet against the back floor, but by tightening your belt and adjusting the angle you scrape up enough leverage to out-exert him by a hair. He sinks out of sight behind the middle seat with your elbow slowly forcing him down and back, his one good eye still giving you a wild look to complement the half of a smug-ass grin plastered on his face. Shoukaku places her hands demurely in her lap and keeps very quiet as you drive down the hill towards the main administration building, where Work awaits. You ask if Shoukaku wants to be dropped off at the dorms, or the docks, but she declines, citing work waiting for her at the main offices.

Which is news to you, but you hold your objections and your queries. Pausing long enough to hook your parking hang-tag on the rearview mirror, you pile out, lock the doors and head inside, looking for Goto's office. Hate ambles along behind you with a kind of half-smile on his face - he kept his cover on when he walked in the door and he seems to be doing that passive left-right-left scan with his eyes without moving his head, so you suspect he's got Henry with him. Willie is with you as well, and she's got a handful of your pantleg again.

Shedding those two proves pretty simple. You pause by the guard station, where an extremely bored Navy Security Forces man in a black bulletproof vest is busy juggling a frag grenade as he stares at the door. You wait for him to notice you, which prompts him to drop the grenade. He dives to scramble for it, but it rolls and skitters away across the linoleum. He begins to crawl after it. Then he freezes. Then, very, very slowly, he rises and offers the best salute a man can manage while cowering before his doom. His “Sir” limps out of his mouth like a puppy that just pissed on the carpet.

You let him squirm on your piercing gaze for a moment - then you slide your eyes towards the security force's stable of rides located in a large closet off to one side, used for patrolling the sidewalks and areas around the big administration building. Then you glance askance at Hate, and shake Willie slightly with your hand.

The security man fixes his gaze on the far wall as Hate slinks away with his charge to liberate themselves some entertainment.

Kongo, however, latches onto you like a limpet mine and refuses to leave. You tour the building twice, changing elevators and stairwells, your cane click click clacking along at a steady pace, but the chilly A/C in the building doesn't seem to faze Kongou one bit - nor do the open stares of the many junior officers and ensigns she passes in the hallways, even when one drops a binder and pivots to watch her bikini-clad ass stroll past. She just follows you close, carrying her untouched coffee.

At last you try for a different tactic - she is barefoot. It's mean, but you really, really don't need to drag a bikini-clad Kongou to Goto's door. Strolling outside, you hit the sidewalk.

Summer in southern Japan can be a real doozy - and today, you could probably cook an egg on the sidewalk. Kongou takes one step onto the concrete-

“OOH EE AAH OOH AERGH~” she squeals. Your only warning is a brief, high-pitched “eeeee-” and then a hundred odd pounds of Kongou lands square on your back. You stagger, catching yourself with your cane - and the weight persists. You straighten slowly, but she's already locked her long, lithe legs firmly around your waist, her arms cinched tight around your shoulders, coffee still safe in one hand.

“Yanketoku, it hurts!”

“Kongou-”

“Everyone is watching~” she singsongs sweetly into your ear.

Your eyes twitch askance before you arrest the impulse. “Yes. Of course,” you growl. She just giggles. With great and visible reluctance, you hook your arms under her legs and carry her down the sidewalk, turn left, and head for the small side-door on the north side of the building; the “smokers” entrance, as it's known.

“Yanketokou is strong~” Kongou giggles.

“I'll seduce Goto for this,” you promise.

“Oh, Yanketokou, jealousy doesn't what did you what.”

“What?”

“Goto-san!?” she exclaims, her arms cinching tightly around your shoulders. “What!?”

What?” you ask with irritation.

She ruffles your hair under your cover with one slender hand. “Yanketoku is so funny~”

“Keep telling yourself that.”

“And why would I have to do that! It's obvious! Yankeetoku is very funny! Yankeetoku is a comedian! Like that Patty Oldfart!”

“Which one?”

“The, uh, uh,-” she snaps her fingers. “Stove that rabu rabu people!”

“... rapes?”

“YEAH!” Kongou exclaims. “THE STOVE THAT R-”

“-EALLY NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT,” you shout over her.

“Oh. Sorry~” she says, patting your head apologetically and hugging a bit tighter.

“Besides, it isn't.”

“Isn't?”

“Isn't.”

“Isn't what, desu?”

“If they like it, you know?”

“LIKE WHAT!?” Kongou declares, in a right panic now.

“Wha-”

“Oh don't you start that again!” Kongou declares. “I'll desstroy you and everything you ever loved!

“No you won't,” you say.

“DON'T TEST THE DESS!” Kongou roars, baffing your head with both hands like she's playing a drum. “I'LL - I'LL -” you feel the weight on your back shift suddenly, and just like that a passing ensign who was busy staring at Kongou's ass is hopping after you in shock, one sock pulled half-way off his foot. Kongou's back in position, baffing your hat with the man's shoe. “BURY YOU!”

“Maybe,” you say. “Maybe. But you won't destroy everything I love.”

“SEE IF I DON'T, DESS!”

“Like what?”

“LIKE YOUR FAMILY!”

“Sure, fuck'em.”

“LIKE YOUR SHIPGIRLS!”

“They'll just pop right back up. Like daisies.”

“LIKE YOUR BAD AMERICAN MEDIA THAT GLORIFIES FILTHY BOXER SCUM!”

“Sure, Pixar's the new hotness, everyone knows that.”

“WHAT!” Kongou huffs, crossing her arms under her chest, resting the assemblage on your dome. “WHAT DO YOU LIKE SO MUCH I CAN'T KILL!”

“Godo-”

“NO YOU DESSING DON'T USE HIS NAAAAME-”

“HIM!?”

“YES, HIM-”

“Belgium isn't a HIM!”

“GOTO IS TOO A what.”

“Belgium!”

“You're dodging!” Kongou declares, raising one hand for help. “REFEREE! HE'S DODGING!”

“Godiva chocolates,” you explain, “come from Belgium. Germans couldn't destroy Belgium. What makes you think you can?”

“I was built in England,” Kongou says sniffing stiffly, “so I technically won both wars!” You can sense her nose climbing skyward. “So don't you dare tell me whaaaaaaTHEDESSISTHAT-”

You freeze as a huge dark shadow falls over you, your shoulders hunching for the inevitable fall of whatever just occluded far, far too much sunlight -

- and then it's gone.

Faintly, from the waterfront you hear the distinctive buzzsaw sound of CIWS systems engaging.

“... Kongou?”

“Th-th-th-the-”

“No.”

“But-”

“No.”

“But I sa-”

“NO,” you snap. “You heard test-firing.”

“THEY DON'T TEST IN HARBOR!”

“Someone's in trouble then! Their immediate commanding officer will be very upset,” you say with disappointment.

Kongou likes her ride well enough that she declines to dismount once you re-enter the building. She pushes the odd door open for you by extending her leg and pressing with one dainty foot, and every time you pass someone in the hallway, she lifts your cap for you and waves as they stare. One of them - a colonel, by the stripes - stops long enough to open his mouth and begin to ask you just what in the actual name of fuck you are doing, but Kongou just giggles and asks “Do you want a turn!?” That threat is enough to send him packing with a worried look on his face.

At long last you reach Goto's office - and find his receiving area, and his secretary's hands full. Shimakaze is there, wearing a... thing. Next to them, Hornet and Essex are fuming, arms crossed, pointedly Not Noticing each other. And standing in the middle of the room, sipping at his Starbucks unperturbed, is Hamp. Less calm are the two women trying to pull him apart.

“I GET HIM FIRST!” Haruna wails. “You don't need him, Miss Genius!”

“CO-PROSPERITY SPHERE DOES NOT MEAN HO ACLARITY QUEER!” Kirishima snarls. “YOU'RE NOT STEALING A MARCH ON ME, YOU ARMY WAFFLE!”

Haruna gasps. “You. Take. That. BACK.”

Kirishima pushes her glasses up her nose, tilting her head just right so the florescent light's reflection makes the lenses opaque. “It's too late now. The Truth is Out There-”

“B-B-B-B-ULLY!” Haruna squeals, closing her eyes and rushing past Hamp's back with both hands outstretched. It's a childishly simple attack, but apparently opaque lenses work both ways. She never sees it coming. As they tumble onto the ground and start fighting, Hamp takes a step back, turns to look, and finds you there.

His eyes slide towards Hornet cautiously, to find her still Not Looking at Essex or anything in Essex's general direction. He looks back at you - waggled his eyebrows - and then reclines against the wall, observing the clothing-ripping catfight in progress as he sips lazily at his Starbucks.

Yamato is behind Goto's secretary's desk, and sinking further and further out of sight by the second, till only her collar and ponytail is visible, the latter being worried in her hands.

“Help,” she begs quietly.

Kongou kicks her heels against your thighs harmlessly. “CHARGE!”

Not surprising; though it goes that Yoshinori is one of the founding artists, though I do think someone else would have been better for Yamato. Not to say what we got was bad, but for The Flagship/national symbol at the time sort of clashed with his ....unconventional tendencies.

Though on the other side Iowa and Yamato are sort of sisters now.

He's very good. At doing very bland things. When it comes to pushing an IP with limited amount of flagship characters at the time, you need (somewhat sensible) but still flashy-looking designs to set them apart from the background fodder, so you can go,

"Ah, this must be some kind of main character" in 3 to 5 seconds.

In Kancolle Arcade, Suzukaze's body language screams "main character" a lot compared to the early ships you would theoretically be getting at the time.

If you go by the Kantaidex and the interview, the entry slot placement of the characters is kind of a big deal. The intention was to draw in the player and make an impression that way.

So there was about ten-ish ships they were pushing to be the front and center at the beginning.

Yeah, that's all true, but not relevant for this conversation. Yamato and Musashi came out later. (They were event rewards, IIRC)
>>
>>165757
Well Konshi wouldn't have been a bad choice as his design tendencies aren't too radical yet pretty high quality. Something akin to Kongou's outfit would be a better fit than a snug suit with asymetrical stockings (which wouldn't go into style for some time); not an issue for some random shipgirl, but this is the Yamato we're talking about.

He did well with Iowa as he was channeling pin-ups and such. That being said, I hope for say Big E they go a more subdued route.

That and while Shibafu might not be too exceptional, some of his designs are popular (mainly the carriers)

Shimakaze is eye catching yes, but doesn't quite have Kongou's sustaining charm.

The asymmetrical stockings are a really useful design choice, though, because you can give to other characters. It's why Ten-Go ships have or eventually get it. It helps establish a thematic link between the characters.

I can't think of something that would be as visible yet unobstrusive.

I wouldn't put that past him as after he did her and Musashi he would come back with the duckies and his trend of working in shiptraits. And the infamous shell bra of yamato's.

Hell, Musashi's brownness stems from being soot covered and the darker camo paint she got.

Not saying she isn't, but overshadowing happens, especially when you have Miss BURNNING RABU around.

Though I wonder if this quest would have a small effect on fan opinions of things.

This is rediculous. Arizona's our bodyguard! The CNO has even reminded us of this fact personally, yet somehow we're still not getting with the program.

Nah. They kill bees often, though.

Meanwhile, in our tabletop game, one of our players has to take a leave of absence due to Army training, so press F to pay respects!

Settle was with hanging out with willy D, Hate, shoukaku and kongou and at one point had her riding on his back (pretty good for a dude with a fucked up knee) I'm pretty sure he was in good hands.

Who's this? It looks somewhat like Zara, but the hair's the wrong color (unless she's had one too many close calls and has now gone gray).

Pola, her drunk-up little sister.

Kongu is hardly what one would consider trustworthy and is, in fact, part the problem we are facing now. Moreover, we were ordered to use Arizona by Adm. Thomas. Not Willie, not a Japanese ship just caused a major security breach, /Arizona/.

It's Pola.
She's hilarious.

>Admiral, do you want to drink too? It will make your body feel warm.

>Me? I'm number one? Can I drink the wine of victory~?

It's hilarious until you remember that her crew basically drank themselves to death after she ran aground.

So, I guess no progress on that front, Lieutenant?

Maybe one should inform her that you've been watching her sleep, observing that she seems to be in distress, and that it is indeed time to 'fess up as to what the problem is.

...She wants me to wear gloves?

Hmm... okay.

Wait, there's a fucking spider in there, ain't there? Fucking almost got me there.

The AK is mechanically closer to the Garand than the StG, and the AR is a perfectly reliable weapon, as the entire action of the weapon is sealed.

I'm having trouble believing you're a real Marine.

You know its a matter of time before she migrates down to your mat.

Vietnam-stationed marines called, they want their muddied ARs back.

you're thinking of the earlier variants. The ones we have now are fine.

>>166334
that's the problem when AKs have always been a reliable choice ever since their creation.

Shiet, that's good thinking. When she climbs into bed with you in the middle of the night she's practically forced to roll half onto you.

Sorry for thinking you didn't know what was going on.

Question: Kongo and Warspite were completed roughly about the same time, yet Kongo appears to be younger (she's described as mid to late 20's while Warspite is older in her late 30's to early 40's) *nervously looks around to make sure she didn't hear that* so what gives?
>>
>>167365
Warspite lasted longer, never got her repairs in, and is English. Those all pile on the years to a shipgirl.

Also, three rounds of WTF to theEnglish for never bothering to keep their shit in good condition. It's not Russian-tier neglect, but for fucks sakes you got to fix shit eventually! Warspite went to the scrapers still with battle damage.

From JUTLAND.
>>
>>167540

They really had some weird troll logic going, with "We can't let the icon of the fleet look weak, so we can't allow her to hit the drydock!"
>>
>>167547
More like "Bloody hell, we need more ships in action AND have no funds for repair. Is she literally sinking? No? Well, carry on then!"
>>
>>166730
jesus christ how horrifying

I thought that's what sank the Hood? That the Hood was never given the refit she desperately needed that would have prevented or at least prolonged the end?

>I thought that's what sank the Hood? That the Hood was never given the refit she desperately needed that would have prevented or at least prolonged the end?
Warspite had severe damage too. She spent most of WWII barely able to turn right because of damage from Jutland.
>>
>>167868

Shit. yeah, mixed those two up. Still, the same idea probably applies. Can't let Symbols look weak; 'Heroes don't bleed' and all that.

And why the red coat, so the enemies can't see me bleed.
