Goto nods throughout your lecture, his face serious, dark eyes focused on you. And as soon as you finish, he replies with one word.

“Bullshit.”

“... what.”

“Bull. Shit.” Goto replies, his voice low and intense. “Do you really believe that they're 'just ships?' Was Hornet right when she told you she's just disposable, just another ship to fight and die for those who built her? She told me she told you. She told me the same. She said she'd been too much of a coward, a regretful coward; hadn't been firm enough, strong enough, she let you see her weakness and that made you feel bad for her. Kaga pretty much said the same thing; apologized for being a failure, for not being strong enough to resist those traumas. Are they right, Settle? Are they just... ships?”

>We don't know what the hell they are, Goto. They were built as weapons. Some of them remember it – just look at Harder, or Sammy. They're bloodthirsty. Who's to say that they don't all remember, and it's just buried deeper with some of them, like Kaga? She's usually so reserved – I saw a whole 'nother side of her yesterday.

>.... no. No, I don't. Nobody who can cry when they think you're not looking is 'just' anything. But we're fighting a war, and we're striking a delicate balancing act, Goto. We have to treat them like weapons of we're going to use them like weapons. The touchy-feely can wait for after the war. That's the way it is with human soldiers, too. We can't let this fly apart at the seams.

We need them to work together as allies now, but they used to be enemies, and a lot of them still carry those old grudges. And my taking sides and making it personal wasn't going to do any good in smoothing over those old wounds.

On a mostly-irrelevant note, it's been a few threads since it was brought up but I still like the idea of making Sammy Kongou's *special friend* in order to keep her under control. I don't think the corgis alone will suffice.

“... no,” you say quietly. “No. Sure, nobody knows what they *are,* but I know damn well what they're not. They're not just machines. They walk, they talk, they ambush you with teatime teikoku-” Goto flinches at this - “and... they cry, when they think you're not looking.”

That hangs in the air between you for a minute... until Goto nods.

So he's seen it, too. At least once.

Maybe more.

“But,” you continue, firm now, “we're no different. I've got a limp. You've got your scars somewhere, I'm sure. That's a soldiers lot. We're not allowed to cry until the job's done. Then we can cry all we want, but until then, we have to be strong.” You squeeze the arm of your chair till you can hear it creak. “And we Admirals are supposed to be strong for our crews. For everyone. That's *our* damn job and... I'm just not good at it, I guess.”

Goto nods. “Yeah. Yeah, that's what they told me. That's the standard line.” He sighs, and drains his own scotch in one go before refilling both glasses. “But Settle – it's wrong.” He turns his shotglass between his fingers as he gazes out the slanted blinds over one window, avoiding your eyes. “Sixteen months, Settle. I'm still not sure what I'm doing. I've just had enough time to get into habits that make it look like I do, you know? Like ducking into a broom closet whenever I hear that goddamn electric kettle start whistling.” He frowns for a moment, then meets your gaze again. “They don't know what they are, any more than we do. Less, even. Far less. They just woke up one day in a flesh-and-blood body... except for when it's not – and they've got some people telling them that they're monsters, and others telling them that they're warships-” he shakes his head and looks down into his scotch, like he'll find some answers there. After a moment, he decides to check the bottom of the glass instead, coughing a little as it goes down.

>>39702908

“I know the USN is putting them right back on the Naval Register again. Acting like they just showed up in port one day, unsunk, with their old crew moving around like ghosts you don't need to pay. Just ships, nothing to see here, move along.” He taps the empty glass on the desk. “We haven't quite caved to that – nobody wants to give the damned nationalists any more ammunition – but every report calls them non-biological entities or some shit like that.”

He sighs. “Drink that.”

You drink that, and let him refill it. “So what are you driving at?” you ask him.

“I'm telling you that they're sticking with what they know,” he replies. “The shipgirls, and the Navy. But that just isn't going to cut it, Settle. They *are* girls, even if some of them don't believe it themselves. People. And they're looking for reasons. Reasons to fight, reasons to exist. And if we don't give them some, the ones they've decided on might start looking mighty thin.”

The hair stands up on the back of your neck, but your mouth contradicts the chill: “No, no no, none of mine would ever-”

“But they would die for you, huh? Like little miss martyr, the CV that couldn't?”

Now you're the one studying your glass.

>>But they would die for you, huh? Like little miss martyr, the CV that couldn't

Damn that's cold goto

“You treat them like humans, you defend them like they're your daughters and then when it gets a little heated you feel guilty because that's not what you're supposed to do. Well, fuck what you're supposed to do. I've been doing it for sixteen months, Settle. I had to learn the hard way. I suggest you benefit from my experience and trust me when I say you did the right thing.”

You sit silently as you absorb his opinion and his alcohol.

>But within seconds the nighttime heavens flashed into daylight as a great explosion shook the Fuso. The Hutchins, eight miles away, reported “two faint [explosions] and a loud snap.” The Fuso’s immolation could be seen as far away as Oldendorf’s battle line some twenty-five nautical miles to the north. Lookouts aboard the Mississippi reported “flames reaching above the mastheads.” It must have been a magazine explosion, for nothing else could explain its terrifying power— or its lurid result. American radar operators watched their scopes in wonderment as the Fuso’s single large radar signature split apart. Her keel and armored hull shattered by the force of the blast, the great 39,154-ton ship broke in two. Consumed by flames as hot as a steel mill’s forge and bright enough to illuminate warships nearby, the Fuso’s innards were revealed in cross-section. The pieces refused to sink. Burning and smoking furiously but seemingly animated by defiant spirits, they remained stubbornly afloat. The bow and the stern of the Fuso had acquired separate lives. Each piece clung bizarrely to life, populated by crewmen who refused to concede their ship’s destruction by doing the prudent thing and abandoning her.

Hell, your own carriers were beating the shit out of each other. I don't see how I'm not getting a court-martial for letting that slip up, and it was the direct result of what you've just described

>Nishimura was reeling, and the U.S. battleships had yet to open fire on the faltering Japanese fleet. At 3: 53 A.M. the “Wee Vee” opened the major gunfire phase of the battle, the onetime gunnery champ of the fleet unleashing the power of her sixteen-inch guns for the first time at an enemy ship. Two minutes later the Tennessee and the California joined the barrage with their fourteen-inch rifles. The West Virginia’s gunnery officer laughed aloud as he announced a first-salvo hit to his captain. The Ya-mashiro, struck all around her towering pagoda mast, was quickly enveloped in flames.
Meanwhile, Admiral Berkey’s cruisers had found the range themselves. The light cruisers Denver, Columbia, Boise, and Phoenix made up for their thin skin with offensive firepower that was simply vicious. The Boise’s gunnery officer, Lt. Cdr. William F. Cassidy, wasn’t even pausing to spot the fall of his six-inch salvos on radar. He had them locked in continuous rapid fire.

votes called, etc. Having a lot of trouble posting atm.

>>39703177
>In just eighteen minutes of shooting, Oldendorf’s left-flank cruisers fired 3,100 rounds at the Japanese column: “It seemed as if every ship on the flank forces of the battle line opened at once, and there was a semicircle of fire which landed squarely on one point, the leading battleship.” That hapless ship was the Yamashiro.

>Silhouetted by her own fires raging amidships, the Yamashiro straddled the light cruiser Denver and hit the destroyer Albert W. Grant with her 5.5-inch secondary battery. But Oldendorf’s ships were too powerful and too numerous, as the cold eyes of their radar gazed through the darkness upon the dying ship. The American gunners were on their game now, their adrenaline overflowing as the pneumatic hoists whisked shells from the magazines up to the gun crews, who placed them onto loading trays, slid the trays into breech blocks, discharged the shells at the enemy, and ejected the empty casings through the bottoms of the turrets to the decks below as the cycle began again and again.

>Flames appeared to consume the Yamashiro’s entire length. At 4: 11, having swung out to the west in an effort to unmask and fire her amidships gun turret, the battleship absorbed two more destroyer torpedoes. Listing heavily to port, the Yamashiro capsized and sank at 4: 19, taking with her Admiral Nishimura, Captain Shinoda, and the vast majority of her fourteen hundred men.

Well damn that is alright then. From the vibes the Quest Posts were giving me i was just think that if his boat had gotten destroyed, and they brought back as a shipgrill, the reaction would be...pretty interesting to say the fucking least.

>Naval combat is nothing like ground war, but that does not make it any less terrifying. Death comes suddenly, shrieking down with little warning from the sky. If a two-thousand-pound projectile fired from long range has your number— if the lazy, decaying parabola of its trajectory terminates on or near your ship— you are finished, no matter how fine your reflexes or how assiduous your training. In size and explosive power, naval gunfire in this war dwarfed anything in the Army’s arsenal. The biggest howitzer that MacArthur’s troops used fired a 155-millimeter shell, about the same size as the six-inch rounds of light cruisers. Battleship shells were several orders of magnitude heavier. When they struck, they shredded armor, burned steel, and vaporized flesh. They killed any number of ways: by flame, by shock, or by storm of flying shrapnel.

“... Goto?”

“Yeah?”

“Have you ever held a command? Your own boat?”

“Of course. A few, in fact.”

“How did you handle having them taken away?”

“... not well,” he replies. “I should've been honored. The JSDF is nowhere near the size of the USN, you know. Very few people get promoted to any sort of flag rank. But I still missed my boat, you know? It was mine. Even if it wasn't a warship.”

You look up in surprise. “Not a warship?”

Goto snorts. “Not too many of those to go around, not in the JSDF. Just a supply ship. Got sent on a lot of disaster relief. But she was mine, and we did good work together. I was out... I was out for years. And then one day they come and tell me that another one of those monsters has shown up, but she's pretty as the day is long and prideful and confident and she's telling anybody who will listen that she's the IJN Kongou, come back to serve and protect. Reporting for duty.” He smiles. “These girls made me a Captain again, in a sense.” He leans back in his chair, waiting for you.

“... I already lost one boat, Goto,” you reply, your voice low. “And now that they've sent me here, I might never have a chance to make it right with her. They'll give that hull to someone else, someone who doesn't care, just sees a worn-out Flight I hull.” You pinch the bridge of your nose, closing your eyes, and breathing in deeply. “I don't feel like the fucking A-team, here.”

Goto grins. “From what I heard, you saved that boat.”

“Tell that to my XO. But you better shout – it's a long way to Arlington.”

“Well,” Goto says. “I was looking forward to fucking with you when you came in here all serious, but you just couldn't wait to get down to the nitty-gritty of getting your ass chewed. Just like you ordered Arizona into that point-blank slugfest in your first engagement, even though it was eating you alive.”

You grit your teeth. “Can everyone-”

“FUCK no,” Goto snaps. “There's exactly two men on earth who know what we do. That's us. The first time Kongou took a hit-” he shudders. “I've been there. I KNOW.”

You shrug, unconvinced, and shove the shotglass at him. It loosened you up a lot more than you'd expected – just what the clever bastard was going for, probably. He goes to drink it himself when a flurry of rapid taps assails the window.

“What the – oh for *fucks* sake,” he grumps, rolling his chair to the window and raising the blinds to reveal a frantic Kongou and Kirishima. He grunts as the window sticks for a moment in the humid Japanese air before giving with a squeal. “Kongou, we've talked about coming in through the damn window-”

“Emergency!” she declares defensively. “Someone kidnapped Admiral Settle!”

“... what.”

“We were feeding him breakfast and teatime and someone ran in and hit us with a table and WOOOSH!” Kongou declares, flinging her arms into the air. “It happened so fast we didn't even see who or what or oh my god Settle what the hell-” she coughs “I, mean-” she blushes. “Goto!”

“What!?” he replies, irritated and probably properly buzzed.

“It was you!”

“JESUS!” he snaps, shoving her head out of the way and slamming the window closed again, making sure to dog the latch. A few seconds later you can hear Kongou industriously trying to lift it again.

“Do you feel like a Captain yet?” you ask him.

>>39703308

Yamato.

Most of them just had to deal with failing their crew. Yamato was supposed to be a symbol of her entire nation, and yet she spent most of the war in dock, and at the end was claimed by the sea without ever getting to fight the way she was built to.

...fuck, I'd be surprised if she's not an Abyssal in this quest, if the guesses about where they come from are right.

“Fuck. You,” he says empathetically. “And what was that about?”

“Uh. Arizona came to see me. Saw the door was kicked in-”

Goto does the addition swiftly. “... ah.”

“She insisted on escorting me here, after that. She was sure Kaga was going to murder me in an alley.”

“Mmmhmm,” he replies, turning to the laptop on his desk and clicking a few times. “Well, that was very smart of her. She's waiting outside, then?”

“Yeah. Don't talk too loud; if she thinks Kongou's coming in through the window she's going to enter with extreme dynamism.”

“Oh, I don't think we need to worry,” Goto says. He spins the laptop around.

On the screen is a grainy CCTV feed of Goto's office door. You can clearly see Arizona leaning against it, the end of a water cooler paper cone pressed against the wood to funnel the sounds into her ear.

So far the ships that have come back range from the Civil War era to WWII, which may suggest soft limits on whatever is bringing them back. If, like I think, it's based on the 'idea' of the ship. Ships that are too old have faded too much in public memory, ships that went down recently are still too 'unsettled'.

This is almost completely baseless speculation on my part, though.

Willie D cries because she's a horrible little fuckup who tried to murder FDR.

She has never forgiven herself for that.

Nagato cries because she could not defend Japan when her country needed it the most. That and not discovering cute fluffy hamsters, hedgehogs and shit. But she's making up for the latter, hopefully.

Yukikaze and Shigure, holy shit. Seeing everyone you know and love die in front of your eyes, then being blamed for it, tripple holy shit.

Yamato just wanted to b us- Oh fuck it, I love her more than I love Chitose. This is depressing me.

Keep in mind that unlike the first battle, there was a heavy cruiser in the mix this time, and Graf Spee was damaged. Even if it won, there were plenty more reinforcements on the way. They were doomed from the start. The captain made the right choice. Thought it pains me that he had to make that choice at all.

You get up from Goto's chair, swaying just enough to let you know you imbibed too much on a mostly empty stomach – that clever fucker really did lure you in good, didn't he, and you started out so well – and carefully creep up on the door. You take the knob in hand as gently as possible, and YANK it open, sending Arizona and her little paper cone sprawling across the floor.

“There,” you snap. “Are you happy, Goto? Lets get everyone into this little room, broadcast everything ol Admiral Settle thinks and feels to the world at-fucking-large!” You dash for the window. He sees what you're about to do, and snarls savagely as he dives of his chair to stop you – but you skip over his grasping hands and flip open the latch. The window slams open instantly, and Kongou thrusts her head and arms in, wrapping them around your midsection. “I KNEW YOU COULDN'T RESIST ME, ADMIRAL~”

The only warning you have of Arizona's approach is a faint breeze, almost as if every air molecule near Arizona is getting the fuck out of the way. The girl's silence is, on occasion, tremendously off-putting, no matter how much Goto might envy you for it. Crumpled papers go flying as Arizona slams the little plastic waistbasket near the desk over Kongou's head and starts jabbing her in the ribs with a pencil, eliciting sharp little “DESS DESS DESS DESS DESS!” from the surprised victim.

“Why!?” Goto says forlornly, looking up at you from the floor. “Stop them! Stop!”

You look down.

“No.”

>You feel humiliated as hell. Of all the everyone you didn't want to hear all that shit you just said – well, Hate's at the top of the list, but Arizona's damn near tied for it. God dammit. God damn Goto and his fucking get-the-admiral-drunk-and-talk-about-our-feelings bullshit.

>You feel angry. You trained your whole goddamned life for a war, spent all that time making your boat ready and able for it, and you lost her in the opening salvo and now you're playing nursemaid? Talking about your fucking feelings with some nip like it's an episode of the View? Fuck this. Fuck them all. FUCK.

Higgins: It seems that reports of my... scrapping... have been greatly exaggerated.

Admiral Settle: This isn't possible...

Higgins: Oh I assure you, it is.

Admiral Settle: How?

Higgins: Not how. Why? We were never meant to be here.

Admiral Settle: What happened at Los Angeles was out of my control...

Higgins: Was it? None of this would've happened if you just stopped. But on you sailed. And for what?

Admiral Settle: We tried to salvage you.

Higgins: You're no savior. Your talents lie elsewhere.

Admiral Settle: This isn't my fault.

Higgins: It takes a strong Commanding Officer to order shipgirls to their deaths. And if the objective is unachievable, you... settle... on something easier. The truth, Settle, is that you're here because you wanted to feel like something you're not: A hero. I'm here because you can't accept what you've done to me... to your crew. It broke you. You needed someone to blame, so you cast it on your XO. A dead man. I know the truth is hard to hear, Teitoku, but it's time. You're all that's left and we can't live this lie forever. I'm going to count to five, then I'm pulling the trigger.

Admiral Settle: You're not real. This is all in my head.

Higgins: Are you sure? Maybe it's the Abyssals! One.

Admiral Settle: No... everything, all of this, it was his fault!

Higgins: If that's what you believe then sink me! Two!

Admiral Settle: I-I didn't mean to hurt anybody...

Higgins: A warrior always does, and for those short minutes... you were a warrior. Not anymore. Three. Four. Is this really what you want Admiral? So be it. Five!

Getting back to the PTSD over sinking thing, I'd like to put forth Mutsu. Here's one of the Big Seven, funded through national pride and she doesn't go down in battle. She was in port and it wasn't attacked. She went down because a disgruntled sailor started a fire in her #3 turret and the resulting magazine explosion broke her in half. She was stabbed in the back by one of her own, and that's gotta hurt.
