“Exactly.” A sigh. “I've been trying to contact you or Goto since this happened last night. I think I slept. I'm not sure.” His voice is ragged and his tongue sounds thickened with exhaustion - he's not lying. “We've got an MP on Naka's door now but if that guy could get in here -”

“Wainwright, I'm on my way. Just lie down and go to sleep.”

“After we talk.”

“I'll ask Naka-”

“Ooooh, hooo hooooo noooo,” he says, managing to smother a weary laugh. “No fucking way you're listening to more nuttery from that kid. She's gonna downplay it hard, you know that.”

“We'll see about that. Now get some fucking sleep. That's an order. You still follow those, right?” You press the terminate call button, kind of wishing you still had a physical handset you could slam down.

Fuck, you ARE old. And angry. But mostly old.

In no mood for waiting, you exploit the privileges of rank and commandeer a ride; making some poor rating sweat bullets as you breathe down his neck till he drops you off at the infirmary, roaring away in his jeep before you can change your mind. You limp up to Naka's room, but when you get there the door is wide open, there's no guard and Naka is most obviously not in attendence.

The Zero's good performance during the early partially due to the high quality of Japan's pilots, but mostly due to the fact that the majority of US aircraft it was encountering during that time were outdated. We're not even talking Wildcats and P-40s here, the USAAF was trying to go heard to head with P-26s and Buffaloes. Also, Japan's inability to produce powerful engines doomed the Zero to obsolesce. The Hellcat started out as just a Wildcat with a more powerful engine.

While I do agree with you that the Zero's abilities are a bit overblown, roll rate isn't exactly the sole determining factor in what makes a good fighter aircraft.

Weak Engine

Cannons didn't have enough ammo, and had a slow muzzle velocity compared to other 20mm. It's 7.7 machine guns were not very good against American aircraft.

Bad at rolling, therefore bad at scissoring.

Bad at high speed turns. I've heard that the p-40 could actually out-turn it as long it kept it's nose down.

Fragile, no self sealing fuel tanks.

I think the reason people at the time thought the Zero was a big deal was because it was a modern(ish) plane designed and produced by a power that was not European or American.

HAW

It's the most important characteristic of maneuverability. Every single maneuver aside from a loop begins with a roll, at least a partial one. You cannot even win vertical contest if your foe can change planes considerably faster than you can.

Probably a big part of it was that, for all the assertions flying around in this thread, the Zero was still a much better dogfighter than anything the Americans had. It built up quite a reputation in the months in between "oh god the Japanese are invincible" and "well... once you stop trying to dogfight it, it's actually not that bad to face."

The weaknesses of the Zero were disguised by the fact that, in the early war, most Western allies obliged the Zero pilots by trying to out-turn them*. However, they did eventually learn to pick their engagements, not get into extended dogfights, and leverage their firepower and vastly superior durability to their advantage.

*AFAIK, the only exceptions were P-38s at very low altitude, and most American fighters at very high speed; the Zero couldn't take the same sort of G-forces. Of course, a high-G high-speed turn very quickly turns into a high-G low-speed turn.

SEAMAN SMITH: The Lowest (Uncommon) Denominator

Every ship, every unit, in every military or paramilitary organization has one. An Eternal Boot; the Perma-FNG; a Wee-Willie Fuckup. Usually, no one quite knows just how bad this individual is until it is too late; they've already made it through Basic, passed tech school, and made it through indoc on the ship. It is only then, when there is no getting rid of them, that the true horror that those damn recruiters have inflicted on the Fleet is revealed. Then, they usually become the ship's pet mascot, kept away from anything explosive, and barred from the Hazmat locker.

Seaman Smith (his real last name), was ours. I didn't learn his history until late into his life on the ship. Here was a guy who sounded prepubescent yet had a Pedro-stash, and couldn't lift ten pounds to save his life. Everyone knew, even without asking, that he was a quota-boy, one of the many recruits brought into the Navy to fill the recruitment quota for that month. Everything about this guy screamed "walking liberty incident waiting to happen".

He was a seaman, unrated, and so assigned to the proud tutelage of the Boatswain's Mates. One day, he was assigned to do deck 'preservation' and take a belt sander to the frequent rust-bubbles that appeared on the weatherdecks. As my job was limited in port, I simply watched that belt-sander abuse the kid. One Bosun, this one a rated E-3 (Boatswain's Mate Seaman), came up to him and showed him how to properly work the sander and keep in under control, then left.

After about five minutes, the sander started kicking Smith's ass again. This time, a BM3 (Bosun 3rd Class aka E-4) came up and showed him how to keep it under control. Five minutes after he left, Smith had lost control. A First Class was next and... you can see where I'm going with this. It ended with one of two Master Chiefs on our ship kicking Smith off the belt sander, and sending him to go do something... safer.

Going in? Expect to know fuck and all, though a high ASVAB score is needed for most intel jobs. Once you're in? They'll teach you what you need to know, and you'll learn everything else in time.

Cryptologic Technician is divided up into several fields: SIGINT (what I did), HUMINT (terps and the like), maintenance of classified systems, etc.

Then there's Intelligence Specialist, which is heavily rooted in the actual analysis of data collected. Which is also what I did.

I wore many hats on my ship. There's a lot you won't learn until it Too Late and Your Fate Is Sealed.

Considering what *just* happened, Naka... nipping off on her own rather irritates you. You presume her MP is with her, and while you appreciate his executing his duty properly, you feel a demonstration of the seriousness of the situation is required. Slipping into the room, you ease yourself into the attached bathroom and lean against the wall, selecting the biggest bath-towel available as your weapon. While you wait, you fish your phone out of your pocket and check your e-mail. All you find is one from the Lance Corporal titled “Re: Stanley.”

You click on it.

“whatever loser western cartoons are for fucking babies too long didn't watch”

You snort. Big surprise there. As you're slipping your phone away, it buzzes discreetly.

“Yo.”

“Who is this?”

“SS-257.”

You type back quickly. “You learn phones fasr”

“Faster than you it seems”

You hear a shuffling sound from outside and quickly pocket your phone so the buzzing doesn't you away. Listening carefully, you peer through the crack 'twixt door and jamb till you see the back of Naka's head - and then you fling the door wide on well-oiled hinges.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MAIWAUFU!” you scream, hurling the towel at Naka. To her credit, she twirls on one heel without a peep of surprise, but she loses her poise when the bathtowel covers her. Swinging away wildly, she stumbles backwards to buy time and manages to trip over a stool; stumbling and plopping square on her fanny. She rips the towel off in a huff, sees you, and hurls it at you. You let it wumph into your face and drape over your shoulders with quiet cane-wielding dignity.

“Real funny, asshole,” Naka mutters.

You wait expectantly for a few seconds, then toss the towel off. “Where's your guard?”

“He was told to leave. I don't know why. Goto asked the same thing and got very pissed off when I told him.” She shrugs. “So, what brings you to visit the fleet's idol Naka-chan?”

“Just the slight matter of an organized crime related thug getting his ass kicked after sneaking across a heavily-guarded military base and into your room.”

“Oh, really.” She crosses her arms and pouts at you, cocking her head ever-so-slightly. It's so practiced that you have to admire it. “And why did you decide to scare me?”

“I originally had a point to make about security, but honestly, it was pretty funny.”

She cracks a smile at last, a sly, begrudging one - the Real Naka, who is struggling to stand, but can't. “Help, please?”

Leaning your cane against her bedrails, you step over, stoop and scoop her up in both arms. There's no aspect of a 'ship' to her at all; she's just a girl right now, and barely eighty pounds of girl at that. She's still got her arms crossed over her slight chest, and she's giving you a coy look.

“Not a word,” she says primly.

“Not even one tonnage joke?”

“Not even one.”

“I was going to say you're light.”

“Put me down or I'll punch *your* lights out.”

You lay her in her bed gently, catching the suppressed sigh of relief as she stretches out in the bed. “Do I look like Jintsuu?”

“... wow, Settle,” Naka says, sounding impressed. “That's low.”

“I try.” You pull up the guest chair again and plop into it. “So, Naka, just what the fuck was a yak doing in here? What did he say? What did he want?”
Naka tucks her hands under her head, closes her eyes and quirks her mouth. “He wanted me to join his studio as their newest idol.”

“... really.”

“How much do you know about the idol industry, Settle?”

“Aside from it getting popular on the West Coast recently? Not much.”

“Well... some studios are good. But some of them exploit their girls as much as possible. Control their lives every waking moment of the day. And I guess some people say there's a revolving door between it and the softcore porn industry. Which the Yakuza have plenty of fingers in, as you can imagine.”

You frown. “And you do this idol shtick knowing all this...?”

“Goto pulled me aside when I first started. Gave me the low-down on what to expect,” she tells you.

“And you told him...”

“That having every aspect of your life controlled by an uncaring semi-criminal entity that's likely to whore you out as to look at you is something a military man must be familiar with,” she replies. “He wasn't amused. He told me I was far more valuable than any pop starlet of the week...” she smiles slightly, then sighs. “Of course, that was... over a year ago.”

That's mostly because it'd be a pain take down. Lot of World War 2 bunkers were left up simply because they were too hard to destroy.

Some of the Flak towers in Germany are still standing simply because they are nearly impossible to destroy.

The only one they actually succeeded was the Zoo one and even that was a pain.

British filled it full of explosives and set it off, one tower fell but the main one was still standing.

So they tried again, this time filling the building with 25 tons of explosives before setting it off.

Huge explosion, lots of dust, and when the smoke cleared the tower was still standing.

So the British tried a third time, spending months drilling holes in the cement and filling them with dynamite to around 35 tons worth of it throughout the tower.

Then, and only then, did the tower fall.

As one American Reporter commented after the second blast. "Made in Germany".

Large criminal organizations can really only thrive with the weakness of or tacit support from the government.

No, as planefag has it, conventional ships are good enough, and they can win but still take a beating in the process.
So the logic goes, why sacrifice millions of dollars of equipment and human lives, when shipgirls are as good as a full ship, their repairs are much cheaper, and even if they get knocked around and beaten near to death, there's still no dead human sailors to worry about.

>>40437636
no, the point is that quarters and food for 1 shipslut is far less expensive than quarters and food for a ship's crew, let alone maintenance and fuel costs

>>40437621
>the mob was a bunch of patriotic perps who hated the axis powers.
I heard that they were threatening work slowdowns at the shipyards until the federal government gave them a deal.

SEAMAN SMITH ON LIBERTY

Smith was kind of an odd duck both on and off the ship. His usualy routine after working hours in port would be to, like so many others, go to base liberty and leech the internet and relax. Only Smith's routine was somewhat... different. He'd go to base liberty to sleep.

Smith, like so many others E-4 and below, would always have to return to the ship before 0000, commonly referred to as 'Cinderella Liberty'. Unlike most sailors, though, Smith would usually be asleep right up until the wire. From 1630 until 2340 he'd be out, and it'd take the collective might of the five other poor schmucks left in liberty to get him up and on his way back to the ship.

Once he'd get back to the ship, however, he'd promptly sit his ass down in either one of the crew lounges or the mess deck and fiddle-fuck around on his computer until just before reveille. At that time, he'd pop into his bunk and fall asleep until muster, when all the other people from deck department would physically remove him from said bunk.

He'd then spend the rest of the day falling asleep doing damn near anything. Mopping? Caught leaning against the bulkhead with his eyes closed. Stuck cleaning out a gear locker? Asleep in said gear locker. Helming the ship? ASLEEP AT THE GODDAMN WHEEL Not on my goddamn watch.

The theory was that he suffered from narcolepsy, which is an instant out from the Navy, no questions asked. They actually sent Smith to a psychological analysis unit on one of the other US bases in Japan, where it was discovered that he was just plain stupid when it came to sleeping.

Seaman Smith, ladies and gentlemen.

(One more Smith story, maybe before planefag updates dohoho)

>>40437741
>Helming the ship? ASLEEP AT THE GODDAMN WHEEL

isn't that an instant court martial

>>40437636
There's also the consideration that it takes time to build new warships, and the shipgirls are welcome reinforcements while the various naval powers bring their war production back up to full capacity.

If you're getting swamped just by pure numbers, you kind of take what you can get.

>too stupid to stay awake

Well. That's a new one.

>>40437760

It is. And that was a joke, of sorts.

No one ever let him get close to the wheel. Even in port.

>>40437636
It's simple math.

Abyssals either are, or are using their own form of ship sluts, the issue is that there are thousands of warships littering the ocean floor from the past several centuries of war, these ships, no matter how dated they were to be if they were bought back as they were, are somehow equal in strength to a modern war ship of the same class.
whistles

So to put it to math.
Number of potential abyssals > Number of active, reserve, and museum ships

Abyssal ship class = Modern ship class

The end result is that the enemy has the potential for a navy larger than any seen before that can somehow go toe to toe against any modern navy.

There's also the slight idea of having a zombie ship thing where any ship sunk by an abyssal could come back as an abyssal.

And we don't want modern warship Abyssals.

What about all of those target ships that have been sunk over the years like Decommissioned Carriers and such?

Real talk, what's the most modern warship that has been lost at sea? We need to come up with a way to beat it before Deme throws it at us ;^)

You pick up on that right away. “What difference does a year make?”

“Well, besides being one of the first few ships they had at all,” Naka says, “back then Goto was... he was a lot more like you.”

“What's that supposed to mean?”

“You know - professional. Like you're supposed to be. He was really by the book though; way more than you. And earnest.” She smiles sadly. “He had to let that go pretty quick... too many girls pouring in, too fast, and all of them kind of quirky in their own way. I guess I didn't help a lot with that.”

“... Goto?” you say. “By the book? Serious? GOTO!?”

“A girl like Kongou will take a toll on a man,” she giggles. “Back then he really didn't approve of a resurrected shipgirl being treated as trite entertainment by smelly otakus. I pointed out that I never really needed to talk to them. I mean I'm not even as popular as a girl that doesn't even exist.”

“Anime?”

“No, like, an actual idol that does concerts, but she doesn't exist. They call them Vocaloids. Computer-generated voice synthesizers with cute girl art made to go with them.” She shakes her head, looking a little sad. “But my point is, I don't have to interact with them, or even leave the base. Unlike-” she picks up a remote from the tray table next to her, and points it at-

-one entire wall lights up; a truly massive LCD TV set near the bed lighting up with a local news channel. As the anchor voices over in rapid-fire Japanese, you watch yourself choking round-boy half to death with your cane on a shaky cell-phone cam.

“-you,” Naka finishes smugly.

“That was Shoukaku's doing and bite me,” you intone levelly, but she just giggles again. “Rumor is she's been talking you up around base.”

“... what?”

“Yep.”

You know that asking what she's been saying about you will constitute giving Naka a victory, so you must not, even though you want to - and she knows that, too. “You're very good at changing the topic.”

“Well, you asked.”

“So this Yakuza requests you join his studio, and you-”

“Turned him down very politely and firmly-”

“So how do we get from that to you breaking-”

“Accidentally-”

“Accidentally breaking his goddamn leg?”

Naka turns her face to you, staring at you seriously through the side-bars of the bed. “He threatened to hurt someone I care about. Willie was there - he even threatened her.”

You process that for all of two seconds - and then you chuckle. “Wow.”

“Yeah.” She smiles brightly. “It was so scary, I just panicked, and manifested my ship-form, and you know how clumsy idols can be~”

Your phone buzzes again, causing Naka to hoist an eyebrow. “Who's that?”

“Probably Harder,” you tell her. “I just gave him a load of my books to read, and he was a little... confused.”

“Just a *little?*” Naka frowns. “He's been bothering my destroyers all over base. Even if he doesn't say anything, he just... watches them.”

“.... watches them?”
“And if they look at him too long, he just makes this motion like he's adjusting a dial. Someone asked I-19 what it meant and she said it looks like entering data into a TDC.” She grumps. “Ikazuchi nearly had a breakdown over it, and as long as I'm in this shitty place, I can't do anything about it.”

“You want me to talk to him about it? Lay down the law?”

She shakes her head. “I can handle him well enough-”

“Yeah, I've seen how you do that.”

Technically nuclear weapons belong to the Department of Energy, and they're on load to the DoD. I don't know if that will matter when a ship comes back, but it might.

She winks at you. “Got that right. But every time he'll say something like, 'I'm going to blow your bulkheads clean out your side' and I'll be like 'sure you can handle me without detonating prematurely, sugar?' and he turns three shades of red and just... fades into the background like he's going deep again to seethe quietly to the hum of the bilge-pumps.”

“... poetic.”

“Thank you. But I can't get him to stick around long enough for a real conversation. Could you help me out with that? If I don't set things straight with him soon...”

“I'll take care of it.”

“Thanks, Admiral.”

“No problem.” You lean back in your chair. “We'll have you a new bodyguard before I leave here. You said Goto heard about this already?”

“Apparently. He was here not five minutes before you were. He's upstairs now talking to the Yakuza; they gave him his own room.”

Would she still be known as the General Belgrano, though? Or would she take up her original name--Phoenix?

I think we should cover this.

Depends on how you define "modern" and "lost". The Kursk is certainly a contender, but she was raised and scraped.

If SH4 has taught me anything it is that manual targeting VIA periscope is a colossal bitch.

Goto's got our back. He'd do a better job at getting where Naka is coming from anyhow.

Talk to her about assigning some destroyers to her command. Maybe ask about how the air raid went (from her perspective) after we parted ways.

I want to see if we need to threaten him or trip and hit him with our cane. a bunch of times. In any case, I want him brigged and fed to Hate later. Maybe there can be a trial when Hate's done.
