A heavy shell cuts past Arizona's superstructure, cutting a wisp of blonde hair from her head. She doesn't register the hit, her eyes steady on the distant mark as her turrets fine-tune their solution. Kongou and Arizona launch their first reply as the enemies third salvo straddles them with huge, towering gouts of spray, the guns ripple-firing from the left, lances of flame marching down their broadsides in almost perfect unison; striking just short of the abyssals. Four Battleships; the greatest concentration of destructive power ever built by the hands of Man, given animation by forces incomprehensible – and now they're squaring off in battle-lines only thirteen-thousand yards distant, their incredible weaponry swiftly zeroing in on each other.

“They're pre-dreadnaughts,” Goto says, his voice low and hot. “They can saturate our superstructures, but at this range you just can't miss, even in these seas.” He says nothing more, just staring through the displays with a cold intensity in his slate-gray eyes.

He thinks you should press the attack.

“Admiral!” a harsh voice cuts in quickly. “Requesting permission for close attack!” You recognize the voice – Tenryuu.

“You've shot your wad,” you reply tersely.

“Only half, Admiral,” Tatsuta replies coolly. “We carry over thirty.”

Which means they've only half to use now – and these seas are rough on light cruisers. You switch cameras to the Philippine patrol boat shadowing the battle; giving you a good look at the abyssal shells as they skip and tumble a little before exploding in the foam and swells behind Division 1, their secondary batteries shooting almost as flat as the primaries. You don't know who or what they are; from whence or when they've come – or how much it matters weighed against their eldritch natures.

The Knight's Fork – or Nagumos. Now it's Settle's, to settle one way or another.

CLs are going to be flanking around the enemy formation, come at them from behind. Once there, they'll launch a spread of missiles to prevent maneuvering. That should split up their fire and make them easy targets for our BBs.

Hang on, the Abyssal battleships snuck up in a smokescreen. No reason we can't pulls the same trick; send the CL force around into the enemy's smoke, torpedoing them right up the arse from close range.

Better idea, but you'll be launching a half-spread at the enemy's stern if you do that - pretty much the worst possible shot. On the other hand, it's the hands-down best way not to get their asses shot off, and you might get lucky.

Ru-class abyssals are roughly on par with Nagato class in terms of armor and firepower. The CLs couldn't do much unless they hit with torpedoes, which is highly unlikely at this point.

Razzle-dazzle camo. To sight on a moving ship, you need to have it's bearing, it's range, it's heading, and it's speed. Razzle-dazle makes it very difficult to determine the target's heading, particularly if you're moving too.
No much use once you get RADAR involved, or gunnery computers* that can integrate from multiple spotters to determine all these factors, but it's very effective against unassisted human gunners.

* As a sidenote: mechanical gunnery computers are fucking awesome.

“Division Two, close to optimal range from the enemy cruisers and commence fire. Flank speed; try to circle in front and cross their T if you get a chance.”

“Acknowledged, Admiral,” Tatsuta replies a touch too quickly, followed by a few seconds of static as she keeps her mic depressed for some reason. The three abyssal cruisers can't be ignored, and Division One's secondary batteries aren't going to cut it, either – but your four CLs are fragile and the only escorts you've got. It's time to mass firepower, as the enemy has, instead of rushing into the teeth of an unknown foe with a half-load of torpedoes.

Fourth and fifth salvos now, the vapor-trails of heavy shells barely visible in the heavy rain before they impact; both sides straddling their targets now. Both your battleships are almost lost in a sea of shell-splashes as the abyssal cruisers pour out a withering fire from their broadside quick-firing batteries; bright sparks and flashes appearing on your girls as the shells find superstructure or go skipping off their impenetrable armor. The close range suits you in that regard; though the abyssal's rain of steel might shred your ships rangefinders to hell, at this range it won't cost you much, and they'll never manage a truly debilitating hit. And before they're trashed, they'll take a toll – your BB's secondary batteries are giving good account against the cruisers; smoke and shrapnel and fire spouting from the abyssal's hulls as five-inch hits smash superstructure and put their poorly-protected guns out of action. The CL's fire joins the fray soon after as they close to more accurate range.

You zoom in on the abyssal battleships, your heart squeezing into a tight stony lump as the drone's high-resolution camera catches the unholy eldritch light of their eyes, a horrible radiance that seems to glint and shine all the brighter in the awful conditions, lingering in the seaspray and swells. You swallow nothing and compress your focus higher, just a little higher, on the lead ship's head as the seventh exchange of fire lands about them; the abyssal crashing face-first through the column of spray that narrowly missed her face. Her headgear – her superstructure – splays wide a strange latticework reminiscent of radar antennas; but the fine mesh seems to whip and waver in the wind, like ropes rather than wire mesh; and the tall mast atop her head is absent of rangefinders, but does have a crow's nest of sorts, and –

“Fuck,” you hiss nastily, zooming the camera out. “We fucked up, we fucked UP-”

- the field of view widens just in time to see Kongou's diminutive humanoid form lurch and crumple as something hits her in the belly; seven more gigantic splashes tearing apart the heavy swells behind her. They're focusing fire on her, of course; firing at known-range at a too-slow target through open sights, not sweating the shell-splashes; which won't do their primitive fire-control much good – and they need to even the firepower disparity quickly, they well know.

You're opening your mouth, an order on your lips, when another shell catches Kongou in the shoulder as the abyssal's secondary battery salvos rain into the sea around her. Bright light stings your eyes as something explodes in a blazing cordite flash.

“Lost a s-secondary turret,” she wheezes. “Other one fetched up against a bulkhead; I'm good!”

“What,” Goto says, his voice not quite snarling.

That's a US predreadnaught of some kind. Cage mast with a pole mast. The United States was the only navy to use cage masts, but most US battleships had both a cage foremast and a cage mainmast. Only 4 of them had just one cage mast (they were too old and small for a full refit): USS Indiana, USS Massachusetts, USS Oregon, and USS Iowa.

Out of those four, the Massachusetts and the Iowa were sunk as opposed to being scrapped, so it's probably one of those two.

“Division Two, close at best angles as fast you can!” you order swiftly. “Launch torpedoes at your discretion; target the cruisers!”

The trailing abyssal battleship rocks as Arizona scores with two 14-inch shells; one below the waterline. The “girl” leans over to clutch at her leg, listing slightly, but her fire hardly slackens. The division leader, the abyssal with the strange bridge-wings and fighting top doesn't flinch, even when Kongou's eight salvo finally scores; a spray of black blood bursting from her shoulder as the miniaturized 14-inch shell punches clean through her superstructure, shredding her back with shrapnel and flame. She simply turns her eyes heavenward, unblinking in the stinging salty spray.

Finding the drone, diminutive against the overcast, she stares right into your eyes; a small, satisfied smile haunting her lips.

And then she fires.

>>38318839
You've gotta feel at least a little bad for Yamato.

I mean, she's got all this mythology built around her, and that's got to add a lot of pressure. She knows that people expect her to go out there and fuck shit up, but at the same time she also knows that she's a mostly useless supply draining piece of shit.

Kongou seems to be melting rapidly under a rain of steel and fire; the three cruisers focusing their remaining guns on her. Blood runs down the battlewagon's pretty face as five and six-inch shells rip through her clothing and dent her skin, burning red splotches on her bared midriff as they deflect from her belt armor; scorching red blisters tearing down her slender white arms as others skip off her decks.

Goto is almost vibrating in his chair, a slight quaver in his cheek as his jaw ratchets a few notches tighter. “If Arizona was faster – “

“If Kongou was tougher-”

“But-”

Kongou's guns are halfway through a fresh salvo, the thunderous reports marching down her flank when you see a gout of water explode nearly under her feet.

“Kongou, status-”

“Penetration below the waterline,” she replies, her breathing ragged and hot and furious. You flick your eyes at the monitors, drawn by the belated flashes of the trailing abyssal.“They're penetrating my belt but they're being decapped and defuzed. I'm o-”

A twelve-inch shell doubles her over as it punches into her belly, another one plunging into the ocean and exploding, kicking Kongou's slender heel out from under her, the shattered remains of her rudder flying into the stormy skies behind her. She almost goes over, but manages to keep her 'footing' and stagger upright – just in time to meet the intermediate battery salvo; the heavy eight-inch shells punching into her legs and outstretched arm; digging deep grooves in the flesh that'd repelled the cruiser's fire.

“How?” Goto asks. “How are they penetrating her decks-”

“Intermediate batteries,” you reply. “Eight inchers, not peashooter shit.”

“They're Royal Navy?”

“No,” you say tersely, turning back to the drone's camera feed; locking your eyes with the still-staring abyssal; the enemy who's sensed your presence on the battlefield across hundreds of miles. “BB-4. USS Iowa.”

A more specific statement is "Arabs suck at modern fire-and-maneuver warfare": the cultural traits which cause this are not so much of an issue for asymmetric insurgencies and medieval warfare.

Specifically (as well-outlined in Kenneth Pollack's Arabs at War), Arabs have terrible initiative, information management, equipment utilization, creativity, and tactical understanding at the junior officer level. Their soldiers are generally reasonably good with a rifle, etc, and their strategic leadership can be top-class, but their junior officer corps leaves much to be desired.

For illustration: let's say you are an Iraqi general in command of an armored division specifically assigned as reserve to three infantry divisions. One of those infantry divisions reports a Coalition assault. Do you:

A) Mobilize the division and send out scouts to confirm the size and intentions of the Coalition assault?
B) Move out in an immediate counterattack?
C) Ask HQ for directions?
D) Do nothing, and have your division obliterated a couple hours later when the Coalition forces attack?

If your answer is D, you are an Iraqi general.

Basically, Arab culture promotes massive political-asscovering in military officers, to the point where many commanders are effectively paralyzed. Arab insurgents don't have to worry about job security, so they don't suffer the same paralysis.

There's some other shit in there too, like educational systems which favor rote memorization over anything resembling actual education or intellectual improvement.

A lot of Arab training exercises are scripted to the point at which both sides know exactly who is going to win and how. A lot of their pilots bitch when Western pilots train with them, because Western pilots take one look at the script and toss it out.

Goto snaps open like a switchblade, suddenly on his feet. “Settle,” he rasps, barely constraining his voice. “Settle, her damage-control-”

You half-nod, already speaking. “Kongou, disengage and turn away under smoke, best speed! Division Two, CLOSE ACTION, NOW!” The wakes kick up behind your CLs as they charge bow-on for the hostile cruisers, dispensing with weight-of-fire, racing for the enemy to come to grips at point-blank range.

“I can't, Admiral,” Kongou replies steadily, an odd tone in her voice. “I've lost a rudder and I'm taking moderate flooding. Smoke generators offline; aft boat deck afire – it's too late for half measures.”

“Best speed?”

“Twenty-eight knots-”

“MAKE IT!” you snap. “Steer with your screws, dammit, you've got the speed, use it while you still have it.”

“Aren't we doing any damage?” Goto asks, one hand flexing into a white-knuckled fist.

“Not fast enough,” you reply. Your battlewagons are tearing the abyssals apart; heavy batteries striking with superior accuracy. Both hostile ships are listing slightly from penetrations below waterline; their speed slacking significantly – but their primary and intermediate batteries continue to bellow; their well-protected main guns untouched; their incredible impenetrable citadels withstanding even fourteen-inch direct hits even as their sterns and bows are shot to pieces. Kongo's secondary turrets are all smashed; fires raging along her decks and her old-fashioned flowing outfit, flames licking at bloodsoaked silk. Her face is set in a rictus of pain, black blood trickling from a hole in her cheek through which white teeth gleam as her primary turrets continue to speak with telling effect, continuing her duel with BB-4, USS Iowa reborn – and very, very fucking angry.

>>38319613

She's pulling ahead of Arizona; already heeling off to the right, away from the enemy battleline, when her aft turret suddenly slews wildly, the guns elevating far too high.

“Aft boiler penetration;” Kongou says steadily, no hint of pain or panic in her voice anymore. “I've lost power. Switching to manual traverse.”

A second of shock bolts across the room; only the cooling fans on the computer equipment stirring.

“Admiral Goto,” she says softly. “Admiral, I-”

“What's she doing!?” Goto barks suddenly. “What the hell is she doing-”

“Her job,” you say tersely, a part of you suddenly angry with Goto for flaking on you at the worst possible-”

“Not her, HER!” he snarls, leaping forward to jab his finger at another monitor and wiggle it about like a sword. “WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING?”

Arizona is swinging her bow away from Kongou's stern – and directly towards the abyssal flagship. That the cruisers lie between her and them doesn't seem to factor in – she makes no attempt to change course even as the lead cruiser heels about to bring its unmolested port broadside to bear.

>the fight Arizona was built for
A reference to her superiority over pre-dreads and also the fact that she was more heavily gunned to the front?

Fucking this. Dirty elevens can't see our confusion. Everything goes as planned.

Preferably over open mike directed to all the base.

>>38319913
More like a reference to the fact she got sunk before America even(officially) entered the war.
She's probably not even doing it to cover Kongou's ass, she's just the excuse for her to taste real combat between battleships for the first time.

Kick her ass, Arizona
PF, I gotta ask, when the shipgirls got rezzed, did their wrecks disappear? Like, is BB-39 still rusting in Pearl as this is happening? Or did the wrecks vanish?

You're going to check his privilege?

The only other thing she could really do is shoot the cruisers, and we've got our own cruisers to handle them.

>>38320061
All of them. Especially his snogging privileges.

>>38319613
I think he mentioned that radar and other sensors get all sorts of fucky with them

>>38320096
I wonder if shipgirls can communicate with regular ships.

>>38320109
As if he cares about that.

He loses his "badass" privilege. The admiral will confiscate all his pairs of sunglassesa and visor caps, and give him a dinky sailor hat in return.

I imagine it'd be a rather lewd experience for the shipgirls
All these seamen inside of me...my main batteries are moving on their own~

>>38320131
Doubt it. For all intents and purposes, most fluff has it down as they're all just women with armaments and radar. "Girls with ship souls".

>>38320131
Belay that. I have a new business idea.

You know all those destroyer girls? Do they have free weekends? If so, miss, would you consider signing as a part-timer with my container ship company? We need tugs and we pay generously!

Also hasn't Settle got some old business with the Iowa?
Also are these admirals just convenient descendants of their namesakes or

Especially useful for shipping companies worried about piracy.

>>38320009

more on that question soon

>>38320284
Or, an alternative but similar question...assuming that the ships neednt've actually sunk to become shipgirls, did the Mikasa up and vanish from Yokosuka to go and become Abyssal?

>>38320284
So, options
1) the wrecks stay, no further hijinks
2) the wrecks vanish, a bunch of tourists are either taking a swim or in Hell
3) the wreck is necessary, and the abyssals went and made one

Interesting read, thanks fa/tg/uy.

>Diving on USS Oriskany

>>38320426
Probably preferable to PART OF THE SHIP, PART OF THE CREW

>>38320284
How awkward would it be if an old sailor ever met a shipgirl of a ship he once served on?

>>38318543
That was truly enlightening my good anon. I thank you for sharing that with me.

>>38320490
Probably somewhere between incredibly sweet/heartwarming, incredibly awkward, or incredible alcohol consumption

>>38320490
In one of the threads it was mentioned that meetings with former crew was tried as a method of summoning them.

>>38320385
There are a few ships in kancolle that survived long enough to be scrapped rather than sunk. Unless they straight up don't exist in this version of Kancolle, then we can safely say that you don't need a wreck to become a shipgirl.

I think it was implied in earlier threads that there was some trouble with ships still afloat, though.

>>38320458
Even more...amusing if it WERE part of the ship, part of the crew
>Diving on HMS Victoria (or any other diveable pre-dreadnought)
>PART OF THE SHIP PART OF THE CREW
>the crew is now you and bunch of 1890s British dudes
>"who the fuck is this guy?!"

You know, I just remembered the existences of the ship's cat.

Would this translate to all the shipgirls having a strange affinity for cats?

And probably have a boat load of superstitions revolving cats
