“Hey.”

“The human pilots are telling me they're bugging out,” she replies. “We spotted a wave of strike craft but they turned and ran when they saw our fighters.”

“Good,” you tell her. “Recover your planes, but keep a CAP airborne.”

“Copy,” she says crisply before hanging up.

You limp back to your damn golf-cart and slump in the seat, your headache and pained leg seeming to push through your thoughts once more. You cradle your forehead in your hands.

It's over.

Twenty minutes later, you're standing in Yokosuka's armored underground CIC, not far from the room where you commanded the first naval battle with American shipgirls. In your hands is a scanned copy of the base commander's handwritten list of damage.

“Doesn't look too bad, does it?” you comment.

“We got lucky,” someone says from behind you. Glancing over your shoulder, you see Goto entering. You make to rise, but he gestures for you to stay seated. He's carrying the long white box with that damned cane; you vaguely recall dropping it when you plucked Naka out of her wheelchair. “Where'd you find this?”

“One of the girls picked it up, gave it to me for delivery,” he says. “Kaga told me what you were up to. The hell were you doing running around when bombs were falling?” He looks honestly curious.

>>40023761
It's not entirely impractical, though.
She's on land so she wouldn't be sinking (though fubuki fumbled and cartwheeled plenty of times and didn't manage to sink by capsizing, go figure), and worst case scenario she might scratch her "outfit" or damage it a little when the recoil is stopped short by the ground.

>>40023815
That's exactly what I mean, see how they're fucking ON LAND right now too- and how Harder was operating at all.
There's gotta be some sort of internal limit to things though

>>40023740
>>40023715
Also consider that it's hard to coordinate an air defense network if you're trying to score kills yourself.

Think of the assault on Foy in Band of Brothers. Dike had well and truly fucked up. Winters wanted to retake command of his old company but was told off since he's now a colonel and needs to do colonel stuff. So he taps Speirs to relieve Dike, and Speirs runs through a village full of Germans and turns things around.

-That someone should have some experience with NBEs
-That someone should also not hold some other significant command position, so that if/when he gets offed by them, it's not a setback in other areas.

You swivel your chair around to face him, and shrug. “I was outside with Naka when it happened – didn't have much of a choice. I knew you and Admiral Thomas would beat me here, so there wasn't much point in stumbling in late, was there?”

Goto looks thoughtful. “I suppose that's true.” He snags a roller chair from a nearby desk and plops down next to you, reclining it as far as possible to stare at the ceiling. “Christ, it's been a long day already and it isn't even four o'clock.”

“Tell me about it.”

“No, you,” he rejoins. “Did they find the attacker?”

“No such luck,” you gripe. “The survivors just vanished a few hundred nautical miles out, and we have no idea where their carrier might be in the rather large potential range. You point at the computerized map that takes up most of the rear wall of the CIC, where the depressingly large search range is boxed out in red.

Goto grunts. “It's never that easy, is it?”

“No,” you reply. “No, it's not. I was just on the phone with the air wing commander from Yokota.”

“USAF or JSDF?”

“Both. They reported a sixty percent hit rate for air-to-air missiles and about fifty for the SAMs, long and short range. The Type 91 missiles did a bit better.”

Goto raises his eyebrows. “Really?”

“Because of that visible-light feature,” you explain. “Something about recording the target's silhouette at time of launch, and comparing it with the thermal track so flares can't fool them. Abyssals radar outline is....” you waggle your hand in air uncertainly and Goto nods, clearly familiar - “-and the infa-red is marginally better, but usually what you see is what you get.”

“Until they do that...”

“... transforming thing,” you finish, the mental image of a radial engine spinning torque-wise as the chitinous body of the abyssal explodes behind it fresh in your mind.

“Fifty, sixty percent,” Goto muses quietly. “I was hoping for better.”

“Me too,” you admit.

“Did the SM-2s do any better?”

“You'd have to ask Thomas, but I imagine he's got his hands full right now.”

Goto grunts, conceding the point. He leans over, invading your space without a care as he tries to read the paper in your hand. “So how bad is it?”

“Mostly superficial,” you reply. “The level bombers got clobbered pretty hard by the Patriots – and the batteries engaged some of their bombs in mid-air, apparently. A few buildings got flattened, but nothing terribly important.”

Goto's eyebrows shoot up. “The McDonalds got nailed?”

“He what!?”

“Yeah. Firing his twin-twenty-mike-mike like a goddamn rifle. Nailed it in front of the NEX, and it went down due south, so...”

“Ha!” Goto snorts. “I like him already.” He reclines in his chair again, rubbing his eyes wearily. “Well, we're alive. I guess we should've expected it.”

“We didn't?” you ask. “We've got more missile launchers around this damn place than a Chinese parade.”

“Sure, but-” he sighs. “It's fucking Yokosuka. They must be pissed off something fierce if they're gunning for the best defended port in Asia. I never thought they'd actually do it.”

“A surprise attack on the main Japanese anchorage!?” you gasp. Goto takes his hat off and halfheartedly boffs you in the face with it. “Seriously, though. Sixteen months of constant operations, usually in home waters or the Sea of Japan and they've never had the balls to attack our shore installations – anyone's, much less Yokosuka.

“There was LA,” you remind him.

“An undefended target – or so they thought.” He shrugs. “But now we know there's a carrier in the area that's hot to trot.”

“And she won't be without friends,” you observe. He nods. “Lets put together a task force, then.”

The large aircraft on the aft end of the flight deck are indeed Vigilantes. They were initially outfitted for nuclear strike, but were eventually converted to photo-recon aircraft. The smaller aircraft just forward of the Vigilantes look like A-4 Skyhawks, which were a light-strike aircraft. On the bow, it looks like a mix of F-8 Crusaders and F-4 phantoms, which were multi-role aircraft.

That's a DE and some PT boats. faster, smaller, harder to hit, and with significantly shittier (in the case of the PT boats) communications ability. i.e. Far weaker radios, and we'd only be getting responses in barks and yips from 6/7.

Destroyers are terrible scouts, you idiots. Send CLs with floatplanes or use Hornet's SBDs when dawn breaks.

Well, destroyers are at their best at night. But it's true that darkness kinda interferes with the whole recon thing.

Also, dawn plane ambush.

There are good McDonald's, because it franchises, which basically means "renting out the brand to other people."

“Not much point in putting together a task force before we know where we're sending them,” you point out. “We need to scout around, first?”

“How, though?” he grumps in frustration. “They only show up on satellite recon when they feel like it and planes rarely spot them. It seems that the bastards just sink under the waves until they feel like striking.”

“We don't actually *know* how they work,” you point out. “If they really do vanish underwater, how long before an attack they tend to surface, if that dark cloud thing that seems to accompany them shows up only when we do or only when they manifest – we just don't know.” You jerk your thumb at the mapscreen behind you. “I did read the briefings. You've basically been reacting to their moves for sixteen months – that's all you could do,” you say hastily as Goto moves to object. “We both know that's no way to do things, but now I think we've finally got the numbers to make a difference.”

“How so?”

“Try to be on top of them as they manifest,” you reply. “Let's try to nail the bastards before they kill any civilians, this time.”

Goto's brow furrows as he thinks – and then he nods. “It's worth a shot,” he agrees. “And even if it doesn't pay off, it won't cost us, either. Who were you thinking of?”

>Send Jintsuu, Sendai and one of their associated destroyer division(s) out searching.
>Send Tatsuta and Tenryuu with one of their associated destroyer divisions.
>On second thought, send those heavy “aviation” cruisers, Tone and Chikuma – they can search with aircraft, and are better able to take care of themselves if they're attacked. Unless they're attacked by air. RIP

Ah, the recon ships. So it's their job to test-drive dicks before letting the carriers have a go.

Sendai? I honestly thought she wasn't around considering her nil presence around Jintsuu or Naka.

Send Willie and Sammy with them

Yes, what are the odds of being attacked by aircraft when scouting out a carrier group.
