Tokyo, you soon discover, is busy. New York has a particular grandness to it, a sense of immense scale; the city seeming to tower over you at all times – but her vastness is impersonal; a wide, yawing immensity that dwarfs and humbles. Tokyo is like an anthive, with many “streets” that consist of a constant flowing river of humanity. The last time you were shoving your way through such a crowded corridor someone was shouting “up and fore on the port side, down and aft on the starboard side” over loudspeakers – it's that bad. The sheer noise is impressive – even with most people just trying to get somewhere, the simple sound of hundreds of people walking and jostling each other is significant; even more so in the narrow warrens of high walls that reflect every sound. And then there's simple mobility – it requires rubbing shoulders to get anywhere. The corgi is soon having a hard time of it with all the ankles about, and when he resorts to his inbred skill – ankle nipping – Hate picks him up and carries him in both arms, clearing a little breathing room with an expression that says “we have nukes on-base and I know how to get the key.”

Shoukaku pauses for a moment at the end of a cul-de-sac, seeming lost.

“There used to be...” she looks around apprehensively. “Wasn't there a road here?”

“Ask for directions?” you suggest.

She nods, leading you and Hate into the nearest building – a barbershop. The elderly proprietor takes one look at two white boys and the japanese girl and settles on English as the proper route. “Hello!” he says, spinning a chair around with a flourish. “Can I help you?”

“E-English!?”

He smiles. “I used to do discount haircuts for American sailors and marines during the Korean war years,” he says, nodding at you and Hate. “No barber can do much business if they don't know how to chat. Even with military men!”

“A-ah!” Shoukaku brightens again. “I was just wondering... there used to be a road down this way, where the street ends-”

“Eh?” he says, looking surprised. “No, not since... well this used to be a thoroughfare, but that was before the fire.”

“Oh no, it was here in the thirties, and it ran parallel,” Shoukaku insists seriously. “Mayflower, or something-”

“Ha!” the proprietor says. “That was my old street! How does a beauteous young thing like you know about that? Did your family used to live here? Anyone I know?”

“J-just someone I knew,” Shoukaku says. “But what happened to it?”

“The fire, honey.”

“But-”

“The war.”

Shoukaku falls silent as suddenly as if she'd been slapped.

“... did the Americans change it, or-”

“The whole block burned to the ground,” he says matter-of-factly. “Hell, half the city did, honey.” He nods at you and Hate respectfully. “I'm not complaining – young men like you have put enough money back in our pockets ten times over since then, I figure. Made my living off it.” His cheerful expression finally slips a bit. “Are you okay, honey?”

Shoukaku's face has gone slack, like it's gone numb on her. “I... no, it's okay, I just...” she shakes her head. “In that case, could you tell us how to get to Akihabara?”

And then, for no reason whatsoever, Hate begins to laugh.

Akihabara is otaku central. Nerd, cosplay and maid cafés as far as the eye can see.

>>40081761
Akihabara was known as the Electric Town back in the day because of all the radios and other appliances.

Now it's the otaku and tech capital of Japan.

>>40081618

We had a CIWS mount that would always radiate the techs even when the damn thing was electrically secured.

Akihabara is still Electric City, to a degree. Oh yeah, it has the Maid Cafes and all the otaku shit, but if you go down literally ANY side street you'll still be able to find all the electronics and gizmos you could imagine. Hell, one time I found a store that specialized in older models of stuff from the sixties and seventies.

It's a natural progression, after all. Electronics leads to videogames and tv and other such things leads to otaku leads to aid cafes and such.

Hell, I bet those same otakus are a significant part of the clientele for those specialist shops.

After the elderly barber gives Shoukaku a good description of the route, she's able to lead you through the tides of humanity to a small rail station that will take you directly to this “Akihabara” district – only two stops, since you're already in the city – for whatever that means, in Tokyo. The train rolls to a stop, and you all step on.

“Trains still have conductors?” Shoukaku whispers to you, eyeballing a smartly-uniformed man wearing white gloves.

“Not quite,” Hate mutters. “Watch.”

The gentleman with the white gloves begins pushing people – gently, but firmly – and they obliglingly shift positions, shuffling closer and closer till everyone's packed in tightly. When he reaches Hate, the Lance Corporal does his damnedest to make his eyes pop right out of his head, which sends the poor fellow scurrying. His work complete, the doors hiss closed, and the train rolls away from the station.

Hate then turns the Stare on you – because you managed to position yourself next to Shoukaku in the press instead of him. You give him a sly grin and shake your head a fraction of an inch – bad marine. Down, devil dog, down. Shoukaku, on the other hand, has that stunned look again.

“Shoukaku?”

“I'm fine!” she insists, but there's a brittle quality to her brightness.

You query with a dubious eyebrow.

“It's just...” she shrugs, as much as she can. “I don't remember it being so crowded. At all.”

“It got bigger,” Hate says deadpan.

You ride in companionable silence as the train jolts and jostles towards the next stop, where the press of humanity ebbs and flows around you. Hate makes a valiant effort to get next to Shoukaku, but you manage to slip ahead of him again.

Shoukaku has been silent for minutes now, still with that expression on her face. A sinking feeling sets into your gut as you begin to think you made a mistake.

“Shoukaku-”

“EEP!”

“Huh?”

“N-nothing.”

She sets her face like a mask, and doesn't make a sound – but something is itching at the back of your neck. That feeling that something is off. With the train this crowded, there isn't many places to look to give Shoukaku privacy with her emotions, so you glance down -

- and see the hem of your companion's skirt rising on it's own, ever-so-slowly. Shoukaku's long, stockinged legs are tense with tension, as well.

I mean, fuck... we were only supplying the opposing armies with a metric fuck-ton of aircraft and tanks. How dare they go after the arms dealer that was providing equipment to their enemies and not them!

>>40082521

No. Things are quiet in the history books between Korea and Vietnam, and from 'Nam to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Forgive me for having the gall to presume everyone else on an American image board, with the most visitors being American, are Americans.

Nazi party and Hitler bad, average German infantryman in the trenches not so much.

>>40082521
Mine didn't really, other than "The USA tried and failed to keep a bunch of pet dictators around," basically, but reading I've done shows that basically we propped up a bunch of little Nazi Germanies all in the name of "Fuck communism."

While, you know, fuck communism, I don't exactly agree with that.

>>40082560
Germany only declared war on us after we did, and they did it because they were allied with Japan. I mean, Hitler probably would have come gunning for us eventually, but even he's not stupid enough to try to sneak attack our Pacific anchorage and then expect to get away with it.

Short answer: No.

There isn't really a uniform textbook that's used across all schools. There are a number of different publishing houses that produce them. Howard Zinn's A People's History of The United States was in vogue in some of the Western states when I went through high school, and I had it again (alongside a mildly-right and very pro-right pair of textbooks) when I was in junior college. Zinn mentions all the fucked up parts of American history he can.

STORIES FROM THE FLEET PART TWO: GREMLINS IN THE DEEP SINK (or just a ghost)

Every enlisted sailor does crank-time. For three months, new arrivals (and sometimes the ones who thought they could hide) are temporarily assigned to Supply Department, Mess Division. The name might be different, the facilities might be better, but you are now at the very bottom of the fish barrel. The Lowest Common Denominator. Even that FNG deck seaman who just checked on board can get you to do something.

From 0530 until usually 1800 for 90 days I did my time in the mess deck. I worked various stations in it, for sure; but the one that I loathed with an undying passion was the Deep Sink. Pots and pans and more pots and pans, from before sunup until long after sunset I would scrub the various cookery that would get deposited there. Three sinks: the first, a moderate temperature where I would scrub off the grit; the second, a higher temperature full of soapy water where I would wash the items; the third, scaldingly hot where I would soak them sterile before washing them down with cold water.

The sinks were stainless steel, held in a stainless steel countertop, much like your average line kitchen in a restaurant. They were held in their own private area of the galley, and there was no way anyone could enter it without me knowing. There was literally nothing underneath them except for the plumbing. Or so I thought.

Technically, you have some options in this situation. Hate, for one, knows all sorts of neat tricks – such as this little trick with pressure on a thumbnail that makes the most vocal shitbag sit down, shut his fucking beak and maintain silence like a good little boy. Hate even boasts that he pulled it off in formation once, which seems impossible – but then again, it's Hate.

Of course, even Hate will have problems with his hands full of Corgi – but the corgi is uniquely advantaged by small size. You can see him, in your minds eye, stepping on heads till he reaches the offender and laying into him; a scene both horrifying and hilarious, if hardly low-profile.

These thoughts drift through your mind in retrospect, only after you simply reach over Sshoukaku's shoulder and seize the shitbag's face in your hand. You are a large man, and he is not – you cover his mouth and nose with your palm.

And you squeeze.

One morning, just after the breakfast rush, I was working in the Sinks by myself when I felt something sharply poke my shin. I glanced down, expecting SOMETHING, only to find empty air. I checked under the sinks, but there was nothing that could've jabbed me like that. I paid it no mind that day.

The very next day, sometime just before lunch, I felt something jab my shin again. I glanced down quicker this time, but again I only found air. I checked under the sinks again, once more finding nothing. I was starting to get a little pissed off at whatever was doing this.

That night, it happened again. It was during dinner. Only this time I looked down fast enough to see SOMETHING pull away from my leg. It looked like a cross between a melted candle and a boney finger with an extra knuckle and about six inches too long. I dropped down to look under the sinks to see what it was, but it was gone.

There's an unwritten rule for US history textbooks: because recent history is so politically charged, 50 years have to pass until they feel confident enough to start putting words to paper about it. Only today's children have a shot at learning what really happened during the Cold War.

The next morning, before I even really started working, I glanced down and caught whatever it is/was in the act. It had extended out a good foot from the edge of the sinks. It paused like I had somehow caught it doing something it shouldn't be doing, then it quickly pulled back under the sinks. I dropped down, only to see it literally disappear in front of me. I didn't know what to think. So, I said the first thing that came to mind: "Please stop fucking with me so I can get this shit over with".

The next few weeks I worked in the Deep Sink went by much more smoother than they had previously. I was able to keep on top of the incoming scullery work, and the cooks in charge of me even let me take longer breaks. And that thing that had kept poking me? It never bothered me again.

Yeah. Ship life be fucked, yo. I'll do spoopy ghost stories next thread.

You were never a big gym rat – the enlisted facilities are populated by some disturbing-looking gym rats that turn your stomach away, and even the scented and hallowed lands in Officer Country are full of pushover staff fucks trotting on fancy treadmills while staring at an overhead TV playing a shitty soap, in an accidental imitation of their usual workday. But for all that, you did work out regularly – if there's any fat captains in the fleet, you've never met one. Stress and a coffee-only diet works for some, but you needed the exercise.

After LA – and the leg – a lot of your options went out the window in that regard. No more squats, no more of this, no more of that – and when you were in the hospital it was even worse. You'd always worked on grip strength - you can't grab a heavy bar without it, after all – and once you were laid up in that fucking hospital it was one of the only things to do. Squeeze that little hand exerciser, day in, day out.

So when you want to grip something, you can fucking well grip it HARD – and right now you're gripping fuckface's air supply with all the strength you can muster. You use your hold to tilt his head, so you can look into his eyes past Shoukaku's ear – they're wide-open, bloodshot, and panicked. His hands struggle up to your wrist to pry and scratch at it, then they move desperately to your palm, but you've got him dead to rights, and just keep squeezing, trying to embed your fingerprints into his fucking jawbone.

A voice chatters over the PA in Japanese, the train slows to a halt, and the doors open. You wait till Shoukaku takes her first steps out before releasing him – with a gentle shove, so he falls back into the men behind him, who are forced to catch his limp form.

You're well away from the station, already mingling into the general flow of foot traffic before Hate breaks the silence.

>>40082743
to add to this, I'm Australian-Indonesian. Don't you tell me that "it's not like your country ever suffered from warcrimes". Indonesia was abandoned by the Dutch and Australia was shaping up to being forced into becoming a client state for the East-Asian Co Prosperity Sphere. Australia stood alone against the Japanese in the Pacific while we waited for your fat arses to get mobilised, and since then do any of you yank cunts bother to acknowledge what we did?

“I thought you were going to suffocate that bastard.”

You and Shoukaku look up like deer in the headlights, both of you astonished that he actually mentioned it.

He looks at you both, his quizzical expression mirrored by the fuzzy face just under his chin. “What?”

“Hey look at that a restaurant lets go check it out!” you exclaim, pointing over Hate's shoulder before barreling past him with Shoukaku in tow (HURR HURR) gripped by her wrist. Twisting and sliding through the crowd, you stop so suddenly that Shoukaku bumps into your back.

Staring you full in the face is a division of shipgirls in a battle line – and they're all looking right at you.

“READY!” shouts Koungou.

“AIM!” returns Haruna and Hiei.

“FIRE!” bellows Kirishima, and their cannons explode with little poofs of confetti just as Shoukaku flattens you to the pavement.

That seems remarkably inefficient.

Why would a gun be loaded that way?

>>40083027

Yeah, sometimes that works. My personal theory is that ALL warships are haunted to some degree or another, and that oftentimes it's not so much the ghosts of dead sailors, as the actual spirit of the ship itself.

I mean, you don't put have a ship continually crewed for decades as a time by hundreds of individuals without SOME /x/-level shit getting into the steel.

I was an atheist when I joined the Navy. I'm not any more. Take that for what you will.

I don't think cosplayers have functional cannons.

Even the crazy ones with loads of money.

>>40083181

Stripper clips were invented in an older era, when the magazine of most rifles was "internal" (like most bolt-action rifles are.) Back then, the only way to carry ammo in a readily-loaded state was in a stripper clip.

Even after removable magazines were invented, stripper clips proved useful as speedloaders for said magazines - in fact you can still see bandoleers of .223 ammo that include a "guide" that attaches to the raised ridge on many M-16 mags so you can quickly load the mags with bullets.

The One Nao Show drama was top fucking notch, if you know the one.

I guess haunting is kind of embarressing if someone catches you in the middle of it.

>>40083082

Not to mention most school-age kids stateside are dumber than bricks made of dogshit. It's what we get for glorifying the jocks and making fun of the various nerd and geeks and shit for the past... Jesus. Fifty plus years? longer?

This is setting aside all the various political and religious dipshits that feel like pushing their particular narrative is perfectly acceptable even when it files in the face of every ounce of data we have.

unfortunately you're a deviation from the norm, ask any rando strategy fapper on /k/ about kokoda and your answer will be misinformed or furious googling

Thanks for sharing these stories, by the way - they really speak to the wasted potential I see in Kancolle.

>>40083200
Because Shoukaku, who is reacting as though it was a real attack, has not realized this yet.

God, everything before college was HELL. I had one middle school history teacher try to tell the class that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because the Japanese emperor was evil.

>>40083217
I'm sure Goto would thank us for it anyway, given his normal reaction to Kongou.

and why didn't we do this to Kaga when the chance was presented and Hornet had to save us?

>>40083183

NAVHOS Beaufort, near PI, is supposedly turbo haunted. Spent some time there, used to chat with one of the nurses. We'd watch lights moving on the other side of the building. the part that was undergoing renovation and remodeling and was empty past 1700 or so.

Shit was real fun.

>>40083281
tap, tap, tap

>>40083245
"we" as in the audience. It feels like some of the people here think it's an actual attack by actual shipgirls.

Possibly because some of them actually think that, apparently.

Because Kaga was about to literally rip us limb from fucking limb? We don't have plotshields against shipgirls like Hate does.

>>40083293
That and one can't underestimate Kongou and her sisters when they're out to do something.

>>40083286
Because we are a large man. She is several thousand tons of steel and fire. 2+2=us getting REKT

VOTES CALLED OVERHWELMINGLY, WRITING

>>40083239
>ask any rando strategy fapper on /k/

>giving a fuck about what anyone on /k/ says

Things I have learned on /k/:

1. The Glock, one of the finest polymer-frame handguns manufactured, EXPLODES LOLOLOL

2. The Sherman tank SUCKS LOLOLOL because it couldn't slug it out with tanks twice its weight.

3. The US Air Force should be using Extra 300s with open cockpits so the pilots can use 1911s, because maneuverability is the only thing that matters in a fighter.

4. The Mini-14, a rifle based on the M-14, which is in turn based on the M-1, (two of the most rugged battle rifles in history,) is a piece of shit, and Ruger, a company with a good reputation for quality, is also shit.

5. Aircraft carriers, which offer the most complete means of power projection ever devised short of ICBMs, are as good as dead because of:

5a. -a magical chink missile that isn't in service yet,
5b. -cavitating torpedoes, that cannot see out of their own cavitation bubble, much less steer,
5c. -the Sunburn, a Russkie missile the US Navy has had years to develop countermeasures for - and have.

6. Revolvers are delicate pieces of shit because their childishly simple pawl-and-ratchet mechanism rivals Swiss watches for fragile complexity.

7. The M-92F Beretta (weight, 970 grams) and M1911 (1,105g) are huge, heavy pieces of shit, but the the IMI Jericho 941 (1,000g) the CZ-75 (1,120g) and Browning Hi-Power (1,000g) are light and easy to carry.

8. The NATO 5.56mm/.223 is a magic fragmenting bullet that explodes on impact to create OVER 9,000 wound vectors, but the FN 5.7mm, a similar projectile moving at slightly slower velocities, is shit.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point- anything you learn on /k/ is almost always complete and utter horseshit, and you should always believe the opposite of what /k/ says.

>>40083283
Hah! What is this, a fairy-tale session now?

>>40083281
>>40083291
NOOOPPPE FUCK THAT

I'll admit that I watched Pearl harbor, and was shuddering after the scene with the guys hands trying to reach out of Arizona.

>>40083312
>>40083316
A fair point.

>>40083293
I just assumed they were real cannons but loaded with confetti or blanks or whatever it is. Fairy magic, it can do whatever.

>>40083226
The Swedes did that shit.

Oh, I got more stories, both spoopy and derpy. I'll prep some for next thread, as I might not make it to the end of Date Night.

Kancolle brought a lot of old recollections from my time in. Ships that are the reincarnated spirits of warships gives me the biggest fearboner as I still love sailing and miss my time in.

>>40083324
Just remember, that if at anytime during this quest, you hearing tapping noises coming from Arizona...somebody is doing a really sick prank, or there is some mad spook about to go down.

Don't forget the Russians could take literally any and every US ship down moments after war were declared because of magic supersonic missiles and the fact that AEGIS can't shoot down drone.

Fucking Vatniks, yo.

If it's the former, whoever is responsible will soon be the same.

i.e. FORMER

>>40083358
Oh man, but do you remember that scene where the crewmen outside desperately tried to weld arizona's hull just to get people out?
THEY WERE ALREADY CHEERING INSIDE FOR CHRISTSAKES, AND THEN A MOMENT LATER THEY WERE DEAD

We're gonna add "WHICH DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST" because China basically steals their miltech from other countries.

Also The Exocet and other missiles like it have existed for a while and carriers are still a thing.
