THREAD 35: TWITTER: twitter.com/planefagARCHIVE: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Kant-O-Celle%20QuestLying in a hard hospital bed, with Arizona sleeping soundly on your chest (all cried out and, judging from the circles around her eyes, exhausted after a late-night vigil,) you contemplate your options. Some kind soul left you your watch; turning your wrist over you discover that it's 0430. You sigh quietly - you've been kicking a tin can down Memory Lane while there's a combat sortie to plan. Christ.But, for all that, you're awake, you're alive, and there's abyssals on the rampage out there. >Call Goto. Yes, it's only 0430, but if you've read him right he might not've been to bed yet; handling both your workloads. No time like the present. >Call Goto's staff, get his secretary on the horn. The poor bastard's probably grabbing the few hours of sleep he'll get out of the next thirty-six; and that's what secretaries are for. >Call your own secretary to get a sitrep, first - if you've got to wake someone up, it may as well be someone with enough rapport to not hate you too much for it. >Call Hate - he's your best friend, when you get right down to it, and here you are being very not-dead after an apparent scare. >Press the nurse call button, let the doctors know you are not a vegetable, all evidence to the contrary, and badger them for an extra blanket for Arizona. No sense in putting the cart before the horse, imminent combat be damned. >Gonna grab some soup for dinner, next update will be even later than usual lol planefig y u so slo

>>40865626Sorry Hate, you ain't allowed to flirt with other shipgirls anymore.You belong to Iowa now.
>>40865590lolnope. I know how 4chan works; I respect her too much to throw a picture of her to the wolves.
>>40865560Last thread proved that Hate is better than Yamato. Besides, Hate is Iowa's husbando

>>40865649You do realize LA happened before we got here, right? Everything that happened between me and her, it was before I stepped foot onto this fucking weirdass island full of fucking weirdass people.
>>40865697Yeah but now the people you break the 4th wall to talk to know about it.
>>40865623
>>40865697Hate x Iowa is OTP now. It's been decided, you cant stop it.
>>40865651Well, I can't argue with that.Any actresses or whatnot that look like her? For the record, when I picture your stories I'm seeing you as Alec Baldwin circa Hunt for Red October, with increasing amounts of Goldblum in your mannerisms as you go without adequate sleep.
>>40865560Speaking of calling Yamato: Goto's ringtone for her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BhvLvQ08RM
>>40865623When was that even mentioned? Or is it just your fetish?

>>40865651Good call, otherwise everything would be revealed. No description other then Hot Ensign.Granted, people will still research now.>>40865754Yeah, don't ask for that shit.
>>40865697It's only time before she gets assigned here Corporal. And then what do you think will happen (aside from a few jokes from Settle and Sammy)?
>>40865754If navyfag looks like anybody, it's planefag honestly. They got that headshape goin' on
>>40865697So Hate, looking forward to seeing more of taffy 3 show up and hang around with Sammy?
>>40865781I mean the scenes in the stories in-thread. You seriously don't picture them in your mind as you read them? You didn't see the Great Belt Sander Rodeo in your mind's eye while reading about Seaman Smith?
>>40865754>I'm seeing you as Alec Baldwin circa Hunt for Red October, with increasing amounts of Goldblum in your mannerisms as you go without adequate sleep.AhahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHot Ensign always reminded me a little of Angelina Jolie mixed with Natalie Portman, and slightly shorter than myself (6'0").
>>40865841Fisticuffs with Yamato?>>40865854Willie should ask Sammy about her sister shops sometime
Best Showboat better show up soon. Because a modern battleship is sorely needed.Cruisers too, but mainly battleships
>>40865775It didn't. Planefag likes to troll players by declaring certain speculation to be cannon or not. Such as Yound spawning.
>>40865885Like Canadian ship sluts showing up at hockey games now?
So from the last thread, we know that shipgirls can control the the "real" ship they correspond to if they have access to it (i.e. it's not laying at the bottom of the ocean), and even do the same kind of reality-warping bullshit to restore it to combat-ready status in the blink of an eye. Wonder if our shipgirls can learn to just manifest their full-on ship form the way the Abyssals apparently can? Not sure what combat advantage it would provide, since they're as effective as the real ship would be anyway, but it would be damn cool to watch.
>>40865885>Young spawningAll 12 of them?Even the lone male?
>>40865351>Press the nurse call button, let the doctors know you are not a vegetable, all evidence to the contrary, and badger them for an extra blanket for Arizona. No sense in putting the cart before the horse, imminent combat be damned. last thread was bananas, did we just have a fucking stroke?
>>40865858If it wasn't for my physical and psychological deficiencies almost guaranteeing that I'd get turned away at the door, I'd have to seriously consider enlisting now. "Join the Navy! See the world! Totally not a sausagefest anymore, except for the submarines!"
Votes called pretty solidly for >Nurse button and >Call your own secretary!writing~
>>40865922It would make upgrades and refits MUCH more straightforward to perform, for one
>>40865938Joke's on you, boss, I'm already up.Good evening, everybody!
>>40865885>implying Young totally didn't establish a secret cabal of witchies after bouncing half the world's airforcekids these days
>>40865958That reminds me, do shipgirls even sleep?
>>40865958Good evening Naka. How are you feeling tonight?
>>40865958So, how did that meeting between you and Harder go, Naka-chan?Been up to no good?
>>40865985Poorly!>>40865986Poorly!
>>40865922It's also a limitation if they can't dismiss it at that point. If Iowa wants to join us, she'd probably have to steam across the whole Pacific instead of taking a plane.Unless more weird shit happens, of course
>>40866007Tell the skipper we need more booze. I may have cleaned the locker out.
>>40865938Pretty much the 'professional officer of the navy' thing we've had going so far I'm guessing.
>>40865885Young spawned his own JFW. Totally canon.
>>40865922Probably would take a lot of resources to do it. Magic only goes so far; at some point they'd need actual metal to use for their full ship-forms.Also it's probably not good for them mentally to go back and forth between human and warship shape. It would both be confusing for the non-consciousness-related parts of their brains and existentially unsettling for the consciousness-related parts.
>>40866057I hope we can keep it up, in the face of all that is planefag and SAN loss
>>40866007How poorly is that? 'Had an unleasant chat' kind of poorly or 'Oh god everything is on fire' poorly?
>>40866005It's coming up soon. I haven't seen Harder once since then, which means either he's preparing by meditating on the universe under a waterfall, or he's just going to shoot me in the back with a whole spread of torpedoes to get out of it.>>40866042That reminds me, I still need to get a few volunteers from the girls for a drunkenness test. For science.>>40866095Dunno, but it's early yet!
>>40866095Harder couldn't get...harder
>>40866042If you don't either have your own still or know someone on-base who does I would be fucking shocked.
>>40866157Was the pink paint an Operation Petticoat reference, or just a shot in the proverbial dark against his masculinity?
I recommend that we don't let Iowa watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2&3. She might get some... ideas...
>>40866157>That reminds me, I still need to get a few volunteers from the girls for a drunkenness test. For science.Just stay away from my private stash, missy. My shit is more expensive than that swill Goto drinks.
>>40866157Send 'em my way. Later though. I'm busy now.
>>40866197See, I'm not sure the girls would be able to access that sort of thing from their shipself. The fae, absolutely, but I don't think they'll be pulling casks from little hatches on their arms.>>40866215>Iowa and Higgins watching Battleship, enraprured
>>40866200It was Fubuki depth-charging him during practice. That’s the color of paint in her training rounds.
>>40866200it was naka doing the whole paint can over door trick IIRC
>>40865916That's canon though.
>>40866157I'll volunteer. Sadly to say, I think my dear sister is a bit of a light weight when it comes to drinking.
>>40866281I'm pretty sure neither physics nor the conversation that happened support that conclusion>>40866303Yeah, I was asking as to the choice of color
>>40865878Fucking IOWA is around. The rest of the museum girls will come back when they are ready,
>Call Hate - he's your best friend, when you get right down to it, and here you are being very not-dead after an apparent scare.
>>40866312Have you tried drinking with her before she spends time with DesDiv6?Just saying, she probably goes through at least one or two flasks of high-proof shit each day to not shoot either them or herself.
>>40866095
>>40866404's a bit late lad.
>>40865878Remember when hate was on Iowa? He stated that all her WW2 gear returned, at some points replacing the modern systems.
OHOHOHO! USS IOWA PLEASES OLD MEN FOR MONEY!
>>40866464Well, yeah. that's cos she liked that configuration more.
>>40866404Nice job TF34, you sure got to the San Bernardino Strait in time.
>>40866483I wonder what Iowa would think about Willie?Or vice versa.
>>40866483Do not bully!
>>40866505s'alright, Johnston, Hoel, Sammy and crew got that on lockdown.
>>40866483Just like Rin then
>>40866512>Iowa comes over>Willie spewing spaghetti from all barrelsHawawawa
>>40866504>Well, yeah. that's cos she liked that configuration more.That configuration was likely better for fighting the enemy of the day, Abyssals.Especially with the leveling effect.Not fighting the Russian navy.Wonder if she can mix and match configurations though.
>>40866512Not highly, I'd imagine.
>>40866549An important question is, does shipgirl radar fare better against abyssal contacts than conventional gear? Willie's performance in the air raid certainly supports so
>>40866549>Russian>NavyHAHAHAHAHA. You mean that shit that got blown to kingdom fucking come when the bitches showed up? That navy? Or the rustbucket deathtraps they call submarines? maybe the handful of surly girls they've had come back that've done fuck all except guzzle vodka by the drum and bitch about how great the old days were. That Russian navy?
Okay. So.My earlier guess, that the Iowas couldn't come back, was wrong. Clearly a ship doesn't need to be 'finished' in order to come back. It is definitely significant that Iowa was controlling her physical body, as well as the Abyssals for that matter, but signifying what, I don't know. It could just be the early manifestations were like that, and later ones came back only as the girl form, but we know that Hornet came back within a week or two of LA, and presumably in her current form.It's also telling that Iowa came back in her 1940s configuration, rather than her 1980s one, which seems to support the theory that there is a 'window' within which ships can be called back, which could also explain why most of the ships we've seen so far – at least on the Abyssal side – are from around the early 1900s. Although now I wonder, since a ship doesn't need to be 'finished' in order to come back, why don't we see multiple instances of particularly long-lived ships coming back from different points in her career. Which would provide a rather neat answer to the Ship of Theseus question. How is a ship the same ship if all its original parts have been replaced? Answer: it's not. (Of course, a steel battleship wouldn't have had anywhere near all of her matériel replaced, but still.) On a meta level that might explain why Naka is such a common drop.Yet Iowa clearly remembered her time as a museum ship, which shouldn't be the case if future versions were 'overwriting' past ones. Hmm.
>>40866608AhahahahahahahahahahahahaBeautiful
>>40866200>Was the pink paint an Operation Petticoat reference, or just a shot in the proverbial dark against his masculinity?A little of both, though it wasn't so much a shot in the dark as it was shooting at a bomber coming in from the sun.
>>40866608Considering that the Russo - Japanese War Russian Navy is what came back as shipgirls, it's probably for the best that they haven't tried to contribute to the war effort.
>>40866608Wait, the Russian ships came back female?How interesting.
>>40866608They came back as girls? Shit, I had heard they came back as male ships, like Harder.Fucking Rooskies should've signed the damn treaty...brb contacting my secret squirrel contacts
>>40866681>shooting a bomber comming out of the sunYou mean dive bombers right?
>>40866681...fair enough, he's not exactly subtle
>>40866608Russian shipgirl jokes when?>Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, two subgirls, Soviet and American, come to the surface. The Soviet one is old and rusty; the American one is new and shiny. On the Soviet one, the faries lounges about without any order, and a drunken girl yells at them: "Who threw a valenok (traditional Russian winter footwear made of felt) on the control board? I'm asking you, who threw a valenok on the control board?!". From the American subgirl, a shaved, sober and well-dressed girl, notes sarcastically: "You know, folks, in America...". The Russian girl dismissively brushes her off: "America??! Ain't no fucking America no more!" (Turns back to the faries) "Who threw a valenok on the control board?!"
>>40866609no the real question is can incomplete ships come back like the USS Illinois and USS Kentucky of the Iowa class
>>40866608>Russian ships take vodka by the drum instead of oilAs expected.
>>40866608You know if Kursk has come back?
>>40866608Why would Russian ships come back as women?
>>40866608>HAHAHAHAHA. You mean that shit that got blown to kingdom fucking come when the bitches showed up? That navy? Or the rustbucket deathtraps they call submarines?Nah the Soviet Navy of the 80's. Where the threat was either subs, cruise missiles or planes.Even though the only true ships they had to project force were the subs.Ships were just recommissioned to give the soviets even a worse case of the economic shits.
>>40866716Well, they might be ship boys.It's a known fact that russian women can be very masculine.
>>40866483Seems like a honest job to me.
The first thing you do is reach out and press the nurse call button; a little blinking red LED informing you that Help Is On The Way. Your responsibilities loom large, but your deep desire to understand *what the fuck just happened* is slightly larger. You're downright afraid to go feeling around your body, but do so anyway - discovering a large fluffy gauze bandage on the upper-right side of your dome. Probably means they shaved your hair, too. Oh well, you're used to wearing a cover everywhere anyways, you can get away with it indoors. Maybe you'll even stick your hands in your pockets. Yep, that star is going straight to your head. The transformation into Flag-Rank-Fucker is well underway, if not complete. Hell, you're even in bed with a beautiful underling. You rub Arizona's hair affectionately, and find the energy to chuckle. Once upon a time, that would've been a serious concern. But after seeing how much baggage the “kanmasu” carry, how displaced out of time they are, even understanding how deep and powerful the undertow of awful memories can be - the thought of those gulfs being bridged by mere lust is laughable. You've got to cling to each other as tightly as possible just to keep semi-sane, really - maybe that's why Kongou is always driving Goto up the wall. And, come to think, maybe he likes being driven, just a little bit - it's so much easier than dealing with the darkness welling from within these girls. You think back to the date with Shoukaku - how stunned you were when she showed up in casual dress, looking for all the world like an ordinary young woman (aside from that shimmering quicksilver hair, enchanting, haunting,) and how quickly the facade of normality had slipped; as she found entire sections of “her” city obliterated during the War; her sudden pathetic eagerness to know if humanity viewed her as a person or as a disposable machine. Fraternization is small-fry compared to *that.*
>>40865922I wonder if that's the differentiator between shipgirls and Abyssals: Abyssals are those whose vessels have been repaired/modified by whatever Cthonian menace is skulking about on the seabed, giving them their distinctive 'abomination' appearance. Shipgirls are those who have become separated from their vessels, so whoever is messing with the wrecks have no power over them and they turn up as just the shipgirl without the vessel. Underwater surveys may make it possible to identify possible a handful of future Abyssals (if a known wreck has suddenly gone missing) or possible shipgirls to summon (if a wreck is discovered unmolested).
>>40866768Because the only exception to the all women rule is Harder. Logic stands that they would return as women.
>>40866764I'd be more interested if pic related came back.
>>40866768Because since when has anything ever gone right for any Russian not in charge?
>>40866722>also has that book of Soviet jokes
The door latch works with a quiet click-clack, and you hear the nurse arriving, her sensible shoes click-clacking across the tiled floor. The privacy curtain is tugged aside gently, and you find yourself staring at your nurse.Who is Shoukaku. In a nurse uniform. A very, very flattering pale-pink nurse uniform that ends halfway down her thigh, where the tight white stockings take over. The clipboard she clutches against her chest does little to hide how the tight starched fabric accentuates her impressive bust, and as always that shimmering silver waist-length hair is impossible to ignore, especially with the little pink cap on her head setting it off so nicely. Her warm, affectionate smile seems to slide right off her face as she gets a good look at you. You and Arizona, who is still fast asleep on your chest, her arms wrapped possessively around your middle; rich red locks tumbling across your tear-damped shirt. Suddenly, fraternization seems like a big deal again. >Can I get a blanket for her, please?>... okay, you first. >... what the actual fu->I CAN EXPLAIN >write-in?
>>40866807>Implying Harder isn't a reverse trap.

>>40866829>>... okay, you first.What is even going on anymore?
>>40866829Hot damn she wants the Settle bad.>... okay, you first. Eca de Queiroz
>>40866829"Well, I am standing at attention now.">What?"You heard me."
>>40866829>... okay, you first.HELLO NURSE!
>>40866829>Can I get a blanket for her, please?There are a couple different ways to interpret "you first" under the circumstances. Shoukaku's most likely interpretation would most likely not match our actual meaning. (Unless it does huehue)
>>40866829>Lie back down: "OK, still concussed. Thank you".>>40866947Top kek.
>>40867016Well the "protect the Admiral" thing is obvious.What's not so obvious is if Arizona might also want the D. That, I'm unsure of, and whether there may be other lurking things.
>>40866829>>Can I get a blanket for her, please?What a nice surprise, but yeah first things first: getting Ari a blanket.
>>40866947This
>>40867016Shoukaku just wants our precious bodily fluids.ftfy.

>>40867030Well after LA he has been kind of... horny.
>>40866829>>... okay, you first.Well... This is welcomed.
>>40867067Vampire shipsluts? Wait.. it's all starting to come together...The clouds of darkness, the unwholesome, pale nubile beautiful bodies, strange and mysterious bodies, and a desire for black and white fluids.

So, you need to design a new ship class to fight the Abyssals with.What would you choose as the main Armament?What would you choose as the secondary battery?What Size class would you want?
>>40866829>>40867093This works.
>>408670973 out of 5 groans anon
>>40867121RailgunsAlso railguns.Annnnd railguns.Because there's absolutely no comparison to what kind of weapon they are, so they may 'break' the leveling effect because they operate entirely differently.
>>40867121It'd have to be cost effective, since the Abyssals can pop up out of nowhere and it takes so much money to sink one. I'd say going back to having armor would be useful, considering what the Abyssals are. Perhaps something like a WWII heavy cruiser?
>>40867121Cruiser. But with larger main batteries, say ten or eleven inches?
>>40866829>... what the actual fu-Then>Can I get a blanket for her, please?
>>40867121Cruisers. Probably with guns on the fore end, missile tubes on the aft end. Secondaries? Prolly something that can function as anti aircraft and anti-missile systems.Cruisers.

>>40867176>"I think it's a battleship thing, honestly. Less chatty than Kongou, too.>>40867121Main armament: railguns. A 5" deck gun won't cut it against many Abyssals, and a 16" deck gun is going to mean building a new battleship to put it on.Secondary battery: 5" deck gun(s) and a VLS. Missiles are proven technology, and an excellent "oh shit" button, even if hideously expensive.Size: Initially, probably a destroyer. Maybe a noveau-battleship or cruiser if the railgun thing works out.
>>40867316Welcome to life with Planefag's quests running.ENJOY YOUR NEW LIFE.
>>40867316Nah it's pretty logical when you think about. They're ships but they're also girls, and some girls want the D.
>>40867176>"I think it's a battleship thing, honestly. Less chatty than Kongou, too.sheeeit we're being used as a waifu pillow
>>... okay, you first.
>>40867240So primary missile ship.Can the AGS piece the heavy armor that the abyssals are mounting? Since most of the dangerous ships mount enough of it to be a serious problem.Question on last thread.Was the one screaming to let them die when Settle was dragged off the ship the Higgins itself?
>>40867378I don't understand why you guys keep insisting that bundles of horrid, terrible trauma and severe cases of guilt want the dick. If anything, they want to figure out who and what the fuck they are, and what it means to be what the fuck they are, rather than get laid constantly. Seriously, dude. Not everything is constantly all about getting your fiction dick wet.
>>40867409...Probably not, no.Probably just unźfuckingźlucky bridge crewman
>>40867176Planefag I meant Settle was dreaming, not dead.That's fine too though.
>>40867439I think waifu sentiment needs tempering but shagging is a pretty good way to feel human
>>40867316Welcome to my world.
>tfw turned down the chance to call Goto's secretaryAnd so REDACTED-chan continues to not matter.
>"I didn't make it, did I."
So when HMS Sheffield (D80), Coventry (D118), Ardent (F184) and Antelope (F170) all arrive, how long until they get assigned to Yakosuka because they keep causing problems with Argentina.And would SS Atlantic Conveyor come back and how would she react to seeing the one that got away?
>>40867482>using the term waifu seriouslyI knew this would happen some day. What have we become.
>>40867439I simply said "some girls want the D". And that's true. Some people are horny. Some are not. That's kind of the point of people being people. Particularly when they form emotional connections.I don't think Arizona is after Settle's dick, but Shoukaku is making it pretty obvious that she does, or at the very least is very interested in him as a man.This too can be a form of coping, you know. Assert their humanity by acting like humans.
>>40867548forgot my pic
>>40867571I don;t think the question is whether Shoukaku wants Settle's dick, but whether she wants anything else.
>>40867439You are, suddenly, alive.You remember clearly being a vehicle, crewed by men, and them dying as you fought and died.You also remember a vague amalgam of your crew's knowledge- the languages they spoke, the skills they knew, the noodle shops they loved back home.People are telling you you're still a ship. People are telling you you're a human, just like your crew was.The first is obvious enough to prove- ships sail, carriers launch aircraft, etc.How do you prove to yourself that you're human?You live.You read, you play games, you sing, you explore fashion, and perhaps you love.
>>40867409Yeah, mainly a missile ship. I'm prety sure that the AGS would be able to pierce enemy Armour with the right shells (or putting the rounds in from above).Though the ship's primary mission would be supporting ship-grills, hence the well deck and laser targeting missiles.
>>40867618Sure but the original statement was "the world has gone weird" in what I assume was response to the fact Shoukaku just showed up in a sexy nurse outfit.And the intentions there are pretty clear to me.
>>40867637I should mention that missile ships are probably not the best idea against Abyssals.
>>40867637Considering the number of abyssals I'd say a missile ship wouldn't be very effective because of cost and production constraints. Last thread made that pretty clear.
>>40867637Missile ships run into the same problem as existing ships:Missiles are freaking expensive.Also, the AGS will sink unarmored modern warships, but are likely to bounce off the armor of old battleships and ironclads even without the Leveling Effect. You need something to cheaply and efficiently kill old, heavily-armored warships with bullshit magic.
>>40867666Neither are big-ass battle ships. Besides, it's meant to support ship-girls. In an Ideal scenario the ship would carry a group of ship-girls and two AA ships (Burkes or type 45s)
>>40867661Outside of porn, I don't think there's anywhere where one of your coworkers can show up in a sexy nurses outfit and not have it be considered weird.
>>40867720>Also, the AGS will sink unarmored modern warships, but are likely to bounce off the armor of old battleships and ironclads even without the Leveling Effect. You need something to cheaply and efficiently kill old, heavily-armored warships with bullshit magic.Can the R&D upscale the AGS to say a 255mm gun eventually? Or would that require a too fucking big a ship, near WW1 Battle ship size.
>>40867720>You need something to cheaply and efficiently kill old, heavily-armored warships with bullshit magic.What're the price figures on precision guided bombs, and modern torpedoes? Because I'm thinking the cheap option is going to involve hitting below the waterline or from above.
>>40867121>Main armamentDrone carrier. You want as many birds as possible, dropping Paveways.The Abyssals are all older ships, so have little to no AA (and no experience with aerial threats). RADAR isn't worth a damn against them, but optical designation and IR work just fine.>What would you choose as the secondary battery?A whole load of C-RAM variant Phalanx. The RAM is rather pointless against incoming dumb shellfire, but the Higgins demonstrated that the ol' lead-farter can do the job.An armoured core might be a good idea. CODLAG, keep the motors and a small battery unit inside the armoured core, along with the fighting compartment. Fuel bunkers, turbines and generators sit outside the core. Armoury sits on the periphery well away from the core, and if any VLS cells are added they are also PVLS.Building a vessel that can take a hit and keep fighting is not going to be cheap or easy. Better to build one that can stay as far as possible. The armoured core allows it to survive a hit in case it is snuck up upon, with the holdout battery allowing for a sprint to safety.
>>40867723Battleships would be an infinitely better choice than a missile ship. More cost efficient and more effective as well.Missiles CAN be useful, but to rely almost entirely on modern AShM against heavily armored warships of bygone eras is probably not the best of ideas. Remember, Higgins was fucked until Iowa came along.
>>40867730Unless you work at a hospital and she's just that hot.
>>40867803Real nurse outfits are not sexy dude, they're hella practical
>>40867792>Remember, Higgins was fucked until Iowa came along.Remember, Higgins wasn't allowed to engage in her element since she was fighting a defensive action. She was faster than the ships she was fighting, and if she'd been able to just run and shoot she'd have done a hell of a lot better.
>>40867548>Atlantic Conveyor>converted merchantman>merchantMANAircraft carrier trap.
>>40867730Halloween party. Your move.
>>40867838Yeah. Guess what. You're not always going to be able to run and shoot, because defensive battles are not exactly uncommon.
>>40867792The Idea would be that the ship would not engage the enemy directly. The Idea is that it would carry about some ship-girls on longer range patrols and provide long range support (sort of like an aircraft carrier, but for whole ship-girls).The missiles would preferably be capable of hitting over the horizon or beyond the range of enemy weapon systems.
>>40867838She was also horribly outnumbered and her targeting was fucked.
>>40867836I know. Which is why it would take one hell of a hot woman to make it look sexy.
>>40867869...I want to work where you do
>>40867730Reality or fiction? As in the latter....If Goto was laid up in Bed, Kongou would most certainly try to play the hot nurse, and heaven help anyone that tries to stop her.
>>40867838She also started at point-blank range, rather suboptimal for a modern destroyer.>>40867883Why put shipgirls on a slow, sinkable ship, when you can keep them on land and drop them out the back of a C-5 when necessary?
>>40867903Sexy nurse outfit as in what Shokaku is wearing in >>40866829 as opposed to just scrubs.
>>40867730This is anime land, anon.
Just gonna leave this here. Big E and the battle of Santa Cruz
>>40867910Never said my workplace had Halloween parties. Just that it was a place outside of porn that a coworker could turn up in a sexy nurse outfit and not have it be considered weird.
>>40867838Nah, even places where we were able to get Harpoons and Tomahawks in play at range, there were major issues with tracking and acquisition. LRASM performance is classified above me but judging by how fucked up Charleston and Virginia beach and Norfolk got, I'm willing to fucking bet it wasn't too hot either.
>>40867952It happened once.Once.
>>40867990Any particular reason why besides the fact that's probably Shokaku's aircraft attacking her.
>>40868053And then Goto stayed healthy through sheer willpower since that time?
>>40868053Tell the story Naka.
If we're talking efficiency, we could get infinitely more out of more attack submarines than we would from battleships. A Virginia class sub, god forbid a Seawolf, would be an OCP to WW2 based abyssals, even more than jet aircraft. They can move much longer distances than WW2 subs at much higher speeds all the while being functionally invisible to any WW2 sonar. The torpedos on most submarines these days would also be a one shot against the majority if not most abyssals.
>>40868037>CharlestonSo how many people did the Hunley take with it this time?
>>40868053And since then Goto's decided on death before bedrest?
>>40867518yamato was such a squib it's unrealfucking titanic was better at being unsinkable than yamato was at being a battleship
>>40868069Shoukaku was sunk before she ever entered combat or launched combat aircraft.
>>40868053Hmm.This smells like toplel.
>>40868089I thought planefag already said Abyssals aren't limited by WW2 sonar capabilities? Not sure WW2 ASW would be enough to stop them anyway, but they could at least see them.
>>40868037>NorfolkChances that Iowa's sister, Wisconsin woke up pissed too? REDACTED
>>40868100What, no she wasn't. Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz, Philippine Sea. She was there, dude.You might be thinking of Shinano
>>40868089Abyssals have displayed sonar capacity well in excess of their base models, so their exact ASW capabilities are utter unknowns to us.
>>40868086I think this is one of those stories that can only be summarized as " black romcom shenanigans" and that Kongou was somehow chastised enough to not try it again.
>>40868135Oh yeah, my mistake.
>>40868091I don't know. Fuck, I don't know if she was even there, officially the compositions of the forces that attacked the cities are classified too. But I hear it was bigger than the group that hit LA and they're still pulling remains out of the wreckage on the south side and on Sullivan's island.

>>40868131Not a fucking clue. I don't have access to the roster of active 'hulls' and don't get told unless they're on the way here.

>>40868275So several US Naval bases got hit hard, how bad has the rest of the world been hit?Any comment on the Chinese? Were they hit hard too, or are they so quite it makes you wonder if they will just claim all of the Chinese Sea since the rest of the naval powers are putting out fires?
>>40868345Let's just say I'm doing double duty on the Abyssal problem as well as the Chinese.
>>40868323OH, IT'S ROLL AND TOSS AND POUND AND PITCHAND CREAK AND GROAN YOU SON OF A BITCH,OH, BOY, IT'S A HELL OF A LIFE ON OUR DESTROYER.
>>40868307Can't wait
>>40868345I imagine that the Abyssals tried to push up the Thames and got fucked over by HMS Belfast. and that they tried to attack major bases like Portsmouth and Vladivostok.
>>40868345Ocean-going ships can get most of the way up the Yangtze. The Chinese should be extra fucked.
>>40868345>Chinese shipgirlsA bunch of Junks, that will collectively shit themselves if the Brits decide to send Nemesis over.
Hey destroyers are usually younger girls in the game/this universe right?
>>40868439Usually. Sometimes they aren't. It depends on how the devs were feeling.
>>40868131Now I want to see Wisconsin and North Carolina go on a road trip of ass kicking until they get to Pearl.>You pissed? I'm pissed too. Let's go fuck shit up
>>40868452You think Higgins if she does come back might be DesDiv6 young?
>>40868439Generally speaking, ship size directly correlates to apparent age.
>>40868345Ok, fucking, look, a lotta that shit is fucking rumor. Not a lot of AARs got filed, if you catch my meaning, and there was a big fucking scramble to get some kinda defense in place for costal cities. From what I understand, though, just about everyone that wasn't landlocked got hit. Never more than a dozen bitches of all classes, but they hit fast enough no one got anything to counter them in place. LA was lucky, and there were still a few thousand dead. But rumors also say they missed a few places. Like, they hit Scapa flow, shit like that. And I don't know about the Chinese past that there was a rumor going around they were issuing warnings for the girls to stay the fuck out of those fucking islands they've been bickering with the Japs over since forever.
>>40868083That or he's only sick for the two hours a day he can get out of her sight.>>40868086>>40868093>>40868113>>40868145>>40868199Well, I can tell you that early on when he was running himself ragged keeping up with us, he neglected eating and sleeping enough--plus I think he always drank a lot, even back then--and it had the obvious effects on his health.So then he wound up laid up. Of course, doting on the lot of us, a few of the more impressionable ones had formed some ... erm, attachments. And Kongou was always Kongou. You don't know fury until you've seen her chasing three destroyers out of the Admiral's bedroom with a ladle and a pink "raburabu" apron. The apron, and ... well, I wasn't looking too closely, but not much else.Oh! That's not true.She had a hat on. One of her little ear-clip-things, circling around its edge as she ran around with the spoon. Rumor is she got Goto to let her feed him after she literally started spoonfeeding him whiskey
>>40868487A true elephant lady trying to capture Settle's heart?I suppose this is ignoring that she's about the size of a WW II cruiser.
“Must be a battleship thing,” you say matter-of-factly. “Less chatty than Kongou, too.” Shoukaku blinks. “*Thing,*” she says, her tone locked and loaded. “Well, maybe just a flagship thing,” you clarify, stroking Arizona's hair and tucking her loose bangs back behind her ears, making her look presentable again. “Akagi doesn't seem to fit the pattern, but still. They want their admirals, for some reason.” “She seems to have found hers,” Shoukaku says softly - maybe even sadly. “She seems quite fond of you... she wouldn't leave your side for anything, no matter how much we cajoled.” Shoukaku smiles at you, and it hurts you to see how hard it is for her to lift her expression to it. “She trust-” “No,” you cut her off abruptly. “No, Shoukaku, it's not like that.”She tilts her head, and deliberately scans you and Arizona from head to foot. “It doesn't look like that fr-”“Issac C. Kidd,” you cut her off. “You ever hear about him?” She blinks. “Who?” “Rear Admiral. My own rank. They named a class of destroyers and an Arleigh-Burke after him. Won the Medal of Honor. Died on Arizona's bridge during the attack on Pearl.” Shoukaku's face pales. “O-oh. I, uh-” “They found his Annapolis class ring fused to the rear wall of her bridge, afterwards.” “I'm s-sorry-”“You remember what we talked about? On our date? About Arizona, and me?”She nods. “You already left one ship in a dry-dock, and you don't intend to leave another.” “Right. She just feels the same way.” You cover your eyes, rubbing your temples as an excuse to hide your tears. The roughness in your voice - well, you're thirsty and sick, aren't you? “That's all it is, Shoukaku. We've all got our regrets, and that one's hers.”
>>40867548“A-4C aircraft that belongs to Lieutenant Casco, refueling May the 9th, during the mission which he wouldn’t come back, ending up as a turd of sovereignty on our islands”.
>>40868439itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat.
“... I'll fetch her a blanket,” Shoukaku says, her voice gentle with sympathy. With that, she slips out, heading for a linen closet. Searching the room, you find your cell phone and a few other personal affects laid on the small table to your side. You flip through the menu, find Naka's contact number, and call. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_DV9b0x7v4The disgustingly sugary tunes of some old ear-worm you vaguely remember begin chiming tinnily from one corner of the room. “Aaaaah, drat.” Your cane is leaning against the table. Snatching it up, you sweep the privacy curtain all the way open with the tip to find Naka reclining in the adjustable guest chair and blinking sleepily. A pair of earphones are resting around her neck, cord leading to a CD player on her thigh. And, of course, she's got a nurse uniform on. “It would seem the tables haaaAAAAAAVEEEE TUuuuhhhrned, wuh,” she says through a long yawn and stretch, “Misther Bhond.” “How long have you been awake?” you demand. “Since Shoukaku came in. I was hoping it wouldn't stick, but then you called.”“Hmm. I don't suppose you know what the HELL happened to me in the command room, Nurse Naka?”
>>40868439Elementary to high school age, yeah. Later models tend to look older. The general correlation is bigger ship -> older (and bigger) girl.
“You had shrapnel moving in your brain,” she says bluntly.You feel the gauze on your skull gingerly. “Fuck. How bad?” “No more brain damage than you came in with,” she says brightly. “Gave you some drug cocktail to reduce bleeding and put you through an emery - uh, Em Ar Eye - and just yanked it out with a tiny cut and a little robot with a magnet.” You wince at the word 'yank.' “Your bedside manner needs some work, you know that?” “It stops you from asking and puts you off-guard, letting me steer the conversation.” She yawns, trying to cover her mouth primly but running out of strength halfway there. “So Shoukaku raided your agencies costume department or something?” She grins at you sleepily. “Other way around. She found where they keep the spare staff uniforms and I had her scare me one up, too.”You give her a lidded-eyed look. “Kick a man when he's down, eh?”“Just trying to get him back up,” she says, giving you a wink and an impish grin, no less bright for her weariness. “But no, Shoukaku did that entirely for your benefit.”
>>40868439>>40868487>>40868488>>40868487>>40868488Thing is, Burkes are a hell of a lot bigger and heavier than WW2-era destroyers, closer to heavy cruisers than anything.
“Uhm,” you say, glancing at the floor. You're not quite sure how to answer that, so you return the serve. “So who are *you* benefiting?” She gives you a lazy, smoky, wicked smile. “Harder's meeting me later today, per your orders.”“Kid,” you say with naked admiration, “next time I hear someone hand-wringing over ship-girls emphasizing with humanity, I'm giving them your business card.” Naka doesn't grin at this - she simply bites one knuckle as she regards you with dark, serious eyes. “Yeah... I spent a lot of time learning. How to read people, and... and stuff. I was amazed at how much talking people do without, uh, talking.” Her usual frolicsome flair is absent. “So you pick up on words unspoken...” “...” you reply.You watch her struggle with her phrasing for a few seconds before she rolls her weary eyes upwards with a sigh. “Okay. Her?” She points at Arizona. “She is all-” she makes a circle with thumb and forefinger, and starts thrusting her other index finger through it, rapidly intensifying the speed faster and faster till her dainty little hands collapse together in a mismash of flailing fingers that slowly expand into a jazz-hands finish. You lock eyes with the petite, hollow-eyed light cruiser, and see nothing but exhausted, flat frankness. >... that doesn't make any sense.

>>40868628Arizona not daughter tier?
>>40868628>>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.Curious where she's going with this mainly. Still gotta clear things up with Nurse Shoukaku
>>40868628YooooooouDense motherfucker!... sir.
>>40868628>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.CURIOSITY KILLED THE SETTLE
>>40868628>Don't even talk about that. I couldn't possibly - nobody could. She's - she's holy ground, Naka. Literally. I don't even want to think about it.>But please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.
>>40868628"How bad is it and how fast do I need to outrun Goto?"
>>40868608Told you that shit was gonna come back and bite you in the dick if you didn't get it yanked while we were laid up. Oh no, You fucking said, I'll be fine, docs say it's stable and they need me!I'm surrounded by fuckbirds.
>>40868628>>>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.Gorramned red button...
Soooooooo...is this /tg/ goin ahead on Arizona route or no?
>>40868608>“You had shrapnel moving in your brain,” she says bluntly....those headaches are slightly more concerning with this revelation, I must say>>40868628>...Fascinating. Moving on?
>>40868628>...that doesn't make any sense. This is nothing like my Chinese cartoons!
>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations. Also:>“Just trying to get him back up,” she says, giving you a wink and an impish grin, no less bright for her weariness. “But no, Shoukaku did that entirely for your benefit.”I want a write in option to thank her for looking out for us. Girl is waifuing us hard, might as well make sure she's appreciated.
>>40868716I will be.
>>40868628>>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.Because seriously, I'm a cripple and I just logiced this away to Shoukaku.
>>40868628>other"Naka, are you implying something?"
>>40868684I dunno man. I would have agreed with you near the beginning of the quest, but nowadays...I dunno I feel like her and Settle just fit together pretty well.
>>40868716Nah people are just curious about her theory, at most it'd be a Arizona fans and Shoukaku fans fighting it out.
>>40868628>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Hospital Ship Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.
>>40868628>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations. Flookin late to KCQ again.
>>40868716An Admiral ought to command a fleet.Waifu all the ships
>>40868742Family yes, romance, not so much.
>>40868747Why not both?After all, battleships are natural escorts for carriers.
>>40868628>>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.In our most deadpan sarcastic voice ever.
>>40868716Yes Arizona best girl
>>40868716Nah.No waifus, only Admiral.
>>40868716I'm taking the Route of Fleet Admirals: Arizona, Shoukaku, Higgins. I can borrow Harder from Naka, and then I'll have my own balanced flotilla.
>>40868689You'll thank me for this shit later. I'm going to save you a lot of fucking effort.
>>40868716I'm okay with it.
>>40868754
>>40868628So wait, if the nurse outfit Shoukaku is wearing was for our benefit, why is Naka wearing her's now and mussing it all up instead of waiting to change? Did Naka secretly want to surprise us first and fell asleep before we woke up?
>>40868628>>... that doesn't make any sense. She's an American Battleship, not a damn schoolgirl with a crush because some has-been cripple halfassed a job best left to professionals. This isn't your damn chinese cartoons, as they say in the vernacular.

She's - she's holy ground, Naka. Literally. I don't even want to think about it.Um, for the people picking the second option... remember how Shoukaku replied to Hate's joke?Yeah Naka is just going to get more vulgar.
>>40868772Arizona's a good 12 knot slower than Shokaku.
>>40868716Looks like itTHERE ARE NO BRAKES ON THE ARIZONA TRAIN
>>40868716No waifus, only Admiral
>>40868716 Shokaku route goooooooo!!Any relationship with Arizona is not going to be a healthy one. She's so scarred from pearl that she's become a giant dependent mess of insecurity. Giving her the D isn't going to fix anything.She needs friendship and a commanding figure to help her (i.e an admiral). Honestly, I can see the best thing we can do for her is to become a older brother/father figure for her.Also, Shokaku is so much more emotionally well adjusted it's not even funny.
>>40868793:^)Seriously though I'd rather have harem than drama & shitposting and if you have to pick one drama is inevitable
>>40868816>Shokaku is so much more emotionally well adjusted it's not even funny.Nah, we just haven't found her triggers yet.
>>40868798Shes wearing it so she can fuck with Harder later.
>>40868816>Any relationship with Arizona is not going to be a healthy one.But unhealthy relationships are so much more interesting to read
>>40868816I have to agree on this. Ari does seem more like a loyal daughter than a wife/mother.
>>40868830>implying harem won't cause just as much dramaThis is a quest with waifus in it. You can't NOT have drama.
>>40868805Semantics.
>>40868816I don't think any relationship with settle is going to be healthy for a while either.
>>40868798Are you literally fucking illiterate, anon?Does planefag need to include helpful little summaries for the reading-impaired like you?>>40868628>“So who are *you* benefiting?” >She gives you a lazy, smoky, wicked smile. “Harder's meeting me later today, per your orders.”
>>40868628>Don't even talk about that. I couldn't possibly - nobody could. She's - she's holy ground, Naka. Literally. I don't even want to think about it.WE ARE PROFESSIONALLY PROFESSIONAL WE BEHAVE IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER
>>40868772Planefag would not allow it. He hates harem routes. And loves shitstorms>>40868816Agreed.>>40868838The japanese shipgirls seem less a bundle of issues.>>40868843Then watch springer.
>>40868838Pretty sure we already saw her inadequacy issues, and her reactions to things are pretty sane. Not every girl has to be a ticking time bomb.
>>40868787Wait, they just HAVE A PICTURE for HOW THIS FEELS?...I love the internet! I LOVE THE FUTURE!
Eh, less focus on waifu drama and get a sit rep. There are still ships in an active combat zone
>>40868816>>40868716I'm going to play it by ear and go with whatever makes the most sense in terms with the narrative.
>>40868873>The japanese shipgirls seem less a bundle of issues.Kaga.But on average I'd say you're right. Probably because they've already been around for a while with a fairly decent support network.
>>40868838Which already makes her more adjusted than Arizona, seeing as Arizona literally has her hands on the trigger all the time.>>40868843So you want to read about Arizona's eventual crash and burn because Settle got too close to tackle the problem?I thought you guys liked Arizona
>>40868716Speaking as an anon who lived through the Minnafag wars, the answer is yes. I see all the same things I saw then. The shitstorm is going to be intense.
>>40868873>The japanese shipgirls seem less a bundle of issuesThat just means they're better at hiding them.Those sneaky Nip bastards!
>>40868628>Don't even talk about that. I couldn't possibly - nobody could. She's - she's holy ground, Naka. Literally. I don't even want to think about it.
>>40868628>"You've lost me here Naka"
>>40868816Planefag is going to throw a giant wrench into your whole plan by making Arizona not respond well to being daughter-zoned.
>>40868608>shrapnel in our head>MRIlawdyi hope she's misremembering that. gosh darn newfangled medical technobabble etc.>>40868628>... please elaborate on your fascinating theorem, Dr. Naka, as evidenced by your keen and careful observations.
I'd still like to try for a no-romance run. Settle ain't sane enough for this shit.Besides, think of how much more fun it would be to play wingman for all the ships. Just look at Naka!>>40868898Also this.
>>40868891>>40868787
>>40868900>I thought you guys liked ArizonaI do. That is precisely why I want to see her crash and burn.
>>40868953Remove yourself.
>>40868787Cpl. Hate, I have a question. If Admiral Settle were to hypothetically order you to, say, take Willie Dee and Sammy out shopping at a mall instead of the PX... on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being a JDAM and 10 being Castle Bravo, how shit would be your day?>>40868945Cool your jets, Anon. They're contributing to the main story and are Planefag approved.
>>40868804All the better. Comedy options are the best options!
>>40868940Nah, it just bounced around inside our empty skull.
>>40868628>>Don't even talk about that. I couldn't possibly - nobody could. She's - she's holy ground, Naka. Literally. I don't even want to think about it.
>>40868930Oh, almost certainly. But I'd rather have that then some kind of creepy pseudo-incestuous codependent thing going on.
>>40868942>Settle ain't sane enough for this shit.Besides, he only has Higgings on his mind.
>>40868867I dunno m8. Naka passed out in our room wearing the nurse outfit. She obviously had the intention of trolling us before moving onto Harder.
>>40868942>implying Young was sane enough to have a romance>It still FUCKING happened.>>40868898Aka excuses for doing what you want.
>>40868900Which is why you don't take advantage of her insecurities?
>>Don't even talk about that. I couldn't possibly - nobody could. She's - she's holy ground, Naka. Literally. I don't even want to think about it.
>>40868983It was always going to happen. Whose quest do you think you're in?
>Shoucuckold
>>4086897621
>>40868997Ha!
>>40868997Not after today's surgery he doesn't!
>>40868976>Cool your jets, Anon. They're contributing to the main story and are Planefag approved.It't not the namefagging, I don't care about namefagging.It's Hate introducing the girls to more and more of the internet.
>>40869000Maybe she just wanted to minimize the chance she gets caught by other people in a sexy nurse outfit?
>>40868990>some kind of creepy pseudo-incestuous codependent thingNot sure what you're talking about.Naka is making it quite clear that Arizona wants to be on top of the Admiral's flagpole.
VOTES FUCKING CALLED WOOP>>40869025SOME MEN JUST WANT TO SEE TOKYO BURN AGAIN
>>40869014Let the booze flow.
>>40868901So deme is going to pick a waifu for us and railroad her through?
>>40868997Haw>>40869002Young was batshit, Settle's just lost SAN points
>>40868930Boo fucking hoo. Seeing as Settle is focused on her long term well being and she hasn't been getting better by herself, she's going to need to swallow her medicine.People with trauma don't actually get better when you give them what their traumatized brains want.
>>40869050This escalated huh?
>Planefag actually OPENING a routeTotally legit. Not even remotely suspicious.
>>40869025Rumor has it that one of them found a thing on fanfiction.net about her. Along with pictures from HF.Fucking, don't look at me. The world's already fucked, I'm just adding to it.
>>40869050wow, I was hoping we could at least one thread without historical shitposting. thanks planefag
>>40869052>So deme is going to pick a waifu for us and railroad her through?Said it once and I'll say it again; no routelocks in this quest. >>40869063YOU LITERALLY WENT ON A GODDAMNED DATE WITH HER LIKE WTF
>>40869057>People with trauma don't actually get better when you give them what their traumatized brains want.

>>40869072>YOU LITERALLY WENT ON A GODDAMNED DATE WITH HER LIKE WTFA date with Arizona? When the hell was this?
>>40869032That's kind of dumb when she could have just changed at a later date and not gotten her uniform that well-slept-in appeal. I'm still betting she wanted to troll Settle first but Shoukaku ruined it.
>>40869072>no routelocks in this quest.Harem confirmed.
>>40869072>No RoutelocksSomeone else said that. It didn't end well. like a certain highschool story>>40869103Unlimited shitstorm works is more like it
>>40869097>A date with Arizona? When the hell was this?date with Shoukaku
>>40869072Based Planefag, give us more Shokaku so people can chill on the kneejerk reactions about routelocking
>>40869095>PF is going to pick the most popular waifu and railroad us through. Which is pretty much required in this placeAn Admiral's fleet needs more than one ship, anon.
>>40869103An admiral needs a fleets after all.
>>40869072>no routelocks in this quest.So even now there is hope for man to stand alone
>>40869014Thank you, Corporal, that was most enlightening.>>40869025Oh, that. Well, it was also inevitable, Anon. Be thankful Sakanami isn't in this quest. Yet.

Planefag should Witcher 3 a harem route, we end up alone if we try playing the field.
>>40869126Just give us more non-AZ in general. It's not about Shoukaku, it's about /tg/ having commitmentphobia
>>40869161Don't worry, plane fag will kill everyone off before we have a chance to waifu any of them.

>>40869355Does arizona actually look like the 'let's go on a date' kinda gal?That whole time with Willie, Settle, and Arizona was basically the equivalent of the date arc with Shokaku. A quiet affair where Settle and Arizona rely on each other to get what they need done. Something that matches Arizona's reserved, professional persona perfectly.WOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE PLANEFAG KNOWS HIS CHARACTERS!!!
>>40869443But if I read them in the original moonspeak I can't laugh at the awful writing while I fap.
>planefag thread>suddenly waifuing arguments and stuff>anothernormalthread.webmNow where are my history arguments and talks of Ruhrstahl?
>>40869447Just an FYI, there are a few shops near the base where you can purchase chainsaws. Just say that you are going to kill Abyssals with said chainsaws, I'm pretty sure that the shop keepers will give you them for free.
>>40869473Asleep for now.They will return later.
>>40869450That entire situation reminded me of a mother and father taking their daughter to a museum.
Planefag, have we ever gotten confirmation on the effectiveness of modern submarines against abyssals?
>>40869262Friendly reminder its likely there's a mini Fae she-hate around in Iowa, likely with her own fleet of fae corgi. >Fap angel introduces Iowa to the quest. >She has someone for Hate to meet. >In her hands is a fae in modern marine uniform, with little fluff balls in rows behind her. >Fae-hate reaches behind herself.>doing... something. >points arms at hate when done. >She's taped little drawn fingers in the middle of her little mitten hands>with a minute 'oorah'.
>>40869492Welp, good time to bring out some oni-grade sake then.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyJqz8p2Kqo
>>40869443That would require them spending money on possibly bad if not also horrific porn of themselves.
>>40869494I woulda said that Arizona was more the bigger sister in that case as Willie was looking up to her for guidance and Arizona was deferring to Settle.Either way sentiments about the same.
>>40869482Thank you, I'll make note of that. Tenryuu does tend to favor using her sword more in melee than anything else.
>>40869513This sounds like a great idea
>>40869355This whole argument isn't even about Shoukaku. The Arizonafaggotry has reached critical mass, the otherfags have realized we're on her route. Overall though, /tg/ seems a whole lot more accepting of an AZ romance than Minna's.
>>40869513That's adorable!Speaking of which: as promised, Arizona ship-bell WAFF after the quest.
>>40869561Arizona is kuudere. Minna was tsundere. Which one do you think is more divisive?
do you have a spreadsheet on the points we have earned on each route, i need to keep track
>>40869591kek
>>40869513Doubt it. Maybe, but I highly fucking doubt it.
>>40869561>we're on her routeExcuse you, what?
>>40869561Too bad Arizona is sacred ground, and if we touch her, the ghosts of thousands of men in uniforms, blue and grey and blue and white and khaki and olive drab and BDUs will rise up in one huge chorus, one word on their lips: No.And they will rend us asunder like the vengeful, angry God of the Old Testament, laying waste to Sodom and Gomorrah, all because you had to get your fictional fucking dick wet, you sad tosser.
>>40869603At this point in time, I'll give it 50/50 odds. Things are getting fucking weird lately.
>>40869616Are... Are you saying the others voting Arizona DON'T want that to happen?
>>40869616you seem upset
>>40869561Because she hasn't overran the damn quest like Minna didAlso we're not on her route yet and mixed with Planefag's statement of there being no routelocks....>>40869513That'd be pretty cute.
>>40869513I doubt that, Hate's right here. Though I imagine shit's going to end up like DS2
>>40869561>the otherfags have realized we're on her routeAre you off your rocker or something, laddie?

>>40869663>years later, I am still asspained at losing a waifuwar
>>40869513Make sure to have Iowa say Fae-Hate is a product of her and Hate's love.
>>40869561>This whole argument isn't even about Shoukaku. The Arizonafaggotry has reached critical mass, the otherfags have realized we're on her route.My point way back in >>40869063 was that up until Naka's "wants the D" insinuation, there WASN'T an Arizona route. Suddenly Arizona goes from silent, competent protector (with a loss-of-charge complex) to having an interest in Settle's Mk-46? Totally non-suspicious.
>>40869616Since Arizona is a graveyard, does that mean if we fuck her witches can't get us?
>>40869561You wouldn't stick your dick into a mass grave, would you?>mfw Arizona's twat has corpses in itAnyway, we aren't actually on her route.
>>40869616You know what.Trust planefag.However the romantic situation ends up, he will make it worth reading.THIS IS TO ALL WAIFUFAGS
why notinstead of screamingwaifu waifu waifuwe just try to act like normal human beings for a second alrightwhat would a rational person do oh who am I kidding go for the threesome or try to foist them off on someone else because being an admiral is time consuming
>>40869545Also, you might want to star reading up on psychological warfare and electronic warfare. Just in case Goto catches wind of what's about to happen and manages to stop you.
>>40869677I'm sorry man BUT there is 80 people here all with differing opinions and levels of autism.
>>40869677>Gensokyo Gakuen QuestDo eetIn conjunction with AWiY
>>40869652I personally voted for option two just so that we could hear Naka's reasoning.I have no intention of romancing Arizona, I don't really care about advancing with Shoukaku. But of course this is votes so that's just my voice.
>>40869616>Fear mongering to prevent people from waifuing ArizonaThat's pretty low-tier.In any case, if Arizona really wants the TTK it will be hard to dissuade her. Settle's resistance would crumble with relative ease. And nobody else would dare step between Arizona and her goal. Some would encourage it.
“I do not believe you,” you say with prim precision.Naka blinks. “My theory,” you say, touching your chest with a flourish of your hand. “Shipgirl with terrible trauma from her past latches onto the closest one-star admiral in an attempt to make up for past regrets and failings. Ooooooooor, YOUR theory-” you flip a fingergun level with Naka - “soul of America's most beloved and mourned battleship falls in love with a crippled old has-been because he half-assed a procedure best left to professionals. I'm sorry, but that's some Chinese cartoon tier bullshit, Naka. Gonna have to pitch me better logic than that.” Naka tilts her head forward and squeezes it slowly in her hands, breathing shallowly. “Logic,” she moans. “Boys and their god damned logic.” “Sorry, I left my Ouija board at...” you sigh. “Do I even have to say anything there?” “Nope,” you concede. “Talking with a literal ship spirit and still-”“Open mouth, insert foot.”“Yeeap.” Naka smiles through her tiredness - somehow you two always find the right wavelength in a conversation, no matter what. “Well for your information, oh great and logical Admiral, I don't even bother with that can of worms. I just know what I see.”You do, too - Arizona's a quiet, dutiful girl with unshakable poise and courage, eyes always steadfast on her duty. “And what do you see?” “Well... earlier, in the command room? When you were hanging onto her shoulder, and kind of leaning on her?”
>>40869705We're on 4chan. No normal, rational, or intelligent people to be found.And yes, I'm mentally screaming at people "shut up until we actually know more".
>>40869616And you think Shokaku didn't take a couple hundred men down with her?
>>40869652I don't want that to happen. But you fuckers gotta latch onto the closest, most broken girl available through some misguided notion that the dick will fix everything. Here's a tip, buddy. It fuckin' won't.>>40869659Just kind of.>>40869701Don't know what you're talking about. But no, fucking a mass military gravesite isn't copacetic.
>>40869612>>40869665VN/4chan speak for "Eveyone who doesn't want a relationship with Arizon just figured out we're about to start a relationship with Arizona."
>>40869677>reminding me that Gensokyo High is dead>reminding me that Touhouvania is deadI miss Taisa.
So are people still theorizing the lack of her bell is what keeps Arizona mute? Actually, there is another ship girl that lost her bell in the war too, and she is a loud drunk.
>>40865865They better not be out there having fun without me.
You peer at her. “Weren't you watching the battle?” “Yeah, but my *ears* still work. She didn't take a single breath while you were touching her.” “That's....”True, your memory reports. You didn't really think about it at the time, but-“Conversations with multiple people, she only ever looks at you,” Naka continues. “When you say something to her and turn away, she just keeps looking at you, waiting for you to turn back. When you're not there and someone mentions your name, she looks up like she just heard her own. When she overhears someone talking bad about you, she tenses up like a wound spring.” Naka says this all matter-of-factly; and you know her well enough by now not to doubt her honesty. “Haven't you noticed anything like that? Anything at all?”Well... when you put the radar set on h- “none of that is contradictory,” you insist. “If she's fixated on me because she's trying to make up for Kidd - fuck, she *is* fixated on me.” You squeeze your eyes shut and drag a clawed hand through your mussed hair. “Aw, *hell*.”“Admiral Settle,” Naka says seriously, “I think that's your own demons talking, not hers.”“The hell you say?” “I heard what you said to Shoukaku,” she says, her voice low and sympathetic. “About not losing another ship. Don't you think you're projecting?” >What the fuck would you know about it? >Too far, shitbird. You don't know the half of it. >How do you think I understand it so well, kid?
>>40869762Yeah, but fucking over Jap sailors is an American tradition
>>40869769>tfw I'm playing touhouvania 2 later
>>40869729>Kongou comes to the conclusion that Arizona wants Settle for herself.>Decides to 'assist.'>Goto laughs. And laughs. And laughs.
>>40869791>>Too far, shitbird. You don't know the half of it.
>>40869791>>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?The other two have too much hate in them. This one is the only appropriate one to say to Naka.
>>40869791>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?No need to bite Naka's head off.
>>40869791>>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?
>>40869791>Too far, shitbird. You don't know the half of it.

>>40869791>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?No anger, no defensiveness, only weary weight
>>40869762>Men went around calling for comrades, and several hundreds of men gathered on the flight deck for roll call even though the ocean had "already begun to swallow the front, having started to wash over the forecastle deck and was rising nearly to the level of the flight deck forward". Still the roll call continued for many sections, while others threw rafts and debris overboard and then lept after them.>Fires and explosions continued to increase, and then suddenly the ship upended, causing "sevaral hundreds" of men to slide from their feet on the flight deck aft all the way down to a fiery hell as they fell helplessly into the open fire-filled No.3 elevator; others tried to hang on for dear life.
>>40869791>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?Lets just talk, I think both of them are too tired for a real argument.
>>40869791>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?Don't bite Naka's head off. She is just calling it like she sees it.
>>40869825And I'd be sitting right next to him with the popcorn. I'd fucking PAY to see that shit.
>>40869791>>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?no need to bite her head off
>>40869843There is a vast and terrible gulf between shiro-tier and real character tier. People being dense as hell is just evidence of a writer too lazy to appreciate how very, very good people are at lying to themselves.
>>40869843I mean, planefag has said that he reads our discussions and considers them for shit like intent
>>40869753Can I get a sauce, anon? Google does nothing.

>>40869791>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?Don't be mean to Naka!She's one of our best friends!
>>40869791To hit the nail more squarely on the head (Thankfully Naka something's aware of) the shipgirls are women now. Sure, sure, they had a bunch of guys in them and knew exactly what goes on with the physical department-but here's the thing: They've never had to contend with hormones or personal interactions.TEENAGE hormones.And now in the middle of it you have a gal you saved the life of by pulling a bullet out of her, then one who has been hanging around a little more that has shown interest.There's some back-and-forth here but do either of them really know you as a person? Where will this actually lead as a relationship? Hell, how well does Settle know these ships personalities now as human beings?Setting that aside for the moment.>How do you think I understand it so well, kid?Time for Settle to grow up a little. He's an admiral now.
>>40869894Can't argue with that logic, chief.
>>40869894>how very, very good people are at lying to themselves.You mean like pretending the girl with a crush on you only "really" likes you because you're a stand in for her greatest failure?

>>40869773>Jun'yō's ship's bell was recovered by the U.S. Navy near Saipan, having been separated from the ship by a bomb impact. The bell currently resides at Fordham University's Rose Hill Campus in The Bronx. It was gifted to the school by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz in 1944, "As a Memorial to Our Dear Young Dead of World War II," according to the associated memorial plaque. It was blessed by Cardinal Spellman, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, and "[w]as first rung at Fordham by the President of the United States, the Honorable Harry S. Truman on 11 May 1946, the Charter Centenary of the University."Top Kek, why are American's such assholes?
>>40870088Uh, how many posts this thread gets doesn't matter anymore. It's in autosage, the only thing that matters is how many new threads are created and how many threads behind it are bumped.
>>40868571[x] Ask if they all have nurse outfits. Then suggest dirty coveralls and a toolbox so they can infiltrate more places.
>>40870124Because fuck you that's why.
>>40870124>American's such assholes?Because why not.
>>40869763You...you do realize that sex doesn't have to be literally the first thing you do when you realize "oh I have an emotional connection to this person"? Whether this turns out romantic or not, it doesn't have to be tactless WOO 3 DAYS LATER WE'RE MARRIED AND ALREADY PREGGERS. >>40868863 has it right, they're both pretty messed up and ended up depending on each other. And neither are stupid (or young) enough to go Romeo/Juliette kind of full retard. Especially with Naka and Hate calling their bullshit.
>>40870124What, do you want us to give it back to them?Like the Japanese need anymore Imperial shit for them to cling to.
>>40870191>Especially with Naka and Hate calling their bullshit.Don't forget Goto as well.
>>40870124The most interesting thing about this is that this implies they found a fucking cast-brass BELL floating adrift.

>>40870258At least, he thinks he is.
>>40870254
>>40870198Why do people bitch about the jps using their ww2 shit to make fiction? It's no different from the scores of ww2-based fiction America is still putting out.
>>40870253Probably recovery divers found it underwater, dude.
>>40869894I have been shiro/harem-protag-tier dense before. Come to think of it I was a harem protagonist.
>>40870276Because it's not AMERICAN fiction?
>>40870254I thought they Air-mailed that.>>40870276Because Japan on facism resulted in nothing good for anyone.
>>40870258>Reminder that Settle is an all-American slab of delicious beefIt was totally the outfit making him look well built.
>>40870198Well, in the content of the story, the USA could show some good will by giving some war prizes back to the ship girls. Like said Jun'yo's bell or Nagato's flag if they are around or show up later.
>>40870268That's from the torpedo lesbians, mate. They've got an objective eye
>>40870276Because America has literally done nothing wrong ever in history, and everyone we fought against totally deserved it.
>>40870124You're asking why we took their bell?BECAUSE FREEDOM RINGS
>>40870276Because America and Britain didn't start aggressive wars of imperial conquest, looking to completely dominate their sphere, and nor did we perform atrocities like the Rape of Nanking.
>>40870276I think its the whole turning warships and aces into little girls thing. Like I dunno man.
>>40869861Why?Why would you do roll call as you sink into the ocean and a burning elevator shaft?
>>40870294>Because Japan on facism resulted in nothing good for anyone.Fairly sure the fact that people learned about operation crossroads from porn will not change the fact that Japan isn't allowed to have an offensive military.

Neat
>>40870322>Hawaii>India>South AfricaTo be fair, I think if China had it's own meiji restoration, it would have turned around and conquered Japan just like how imperial japan conquered korea.
>>40870366>massive dose of revisionism or just blind autism.Have you seen American media?
>>40870322At least not during the 20th century. Japan was behind, they were being imperialist after Imperialism stopped being cool.
>>40870352Ask a random nip and they'll shuffle their feet and go "that was fucked up" too, you know. You're comparing an average with a vocal minority.>>40870366a) Have you seen american media?b) Fiction 101: The heroes win.

>>40870387I'm pretty sure one of our most famous war movies is about a bunch of GI's that desert the Army to go rob a bank.
>>40870403And by heroes I mean protagonists, bad choice of words there.
You snicker. “How do you think I understand it so well, kid?” She blinks, her mouth falling open as she stares at you. “Like that whole Shell Incident. I couldn't help myself.” The visions of LA flash through your mind again, vivid and awful once again after that goddamned coma-induced dream. “I don't think she can, either. Me, Hate - we both lost people in that battle. And then we had to watch the military and the media make us poster boys to boost morale because we were one of the few success stories of that whole godawful first month, and -” you sigh. “Arizona sailed right by her own memorial on the way to her old berth. She dropped anchor on the other side of it. She sat there next to her own goddamn corpse, with a thousand of her boys still IN it. And she didn't shy away from it, because that was her *assigned berth,* Naka. No matter how much she wanted to turn and run away from it.” Naka sits up in her guest chair, staring at the floor. “You can't get away from it, though. No matter where you go. It happened, and it was your fault.” Her voice is so sepulchral and hollow that it chills you. She draws up her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around her skinny legs. “So all you have left is... duty.” You remain silent, because there's nothing left to say. Naka understands just as well as you do, it seems. She hides her face against her knees, and shortly you see her shaking slightly, as if she's sobbing, but used to keeping it silent. You pick up your cane, intending to slide the privacy curtain shut out of respect for her, but before you can poke the thin white barrier back with your awkward whacks, you see her peek at Arizona - and in those dark, wet eyes is nothing but seething envy. >Go back to sleep - none of you are in any condition to get any work done tonight. Not after that.>Like the girl said - all you have is duty. Get her working, get both your minds back on track.

>>40870432>Go back to sleep - none of you are in any condition to get any work done tonight. Not after that.It's 4:30 in the morning, but still.We'll really have to help take the load off Goto when we get up.
>>40870432>Go back to sleep - none of you are in any condition to get any work done tonight. Not after that.We just had metal bits removed from our thinky meats. It would probably be smart to rest up a bit.
>>40870432>Like the girl said - all you have is duty. Get her working, get both your minds back on track.But give her a bit of sympathy first
>>40870449The difference being that we did win it all in WW2Nobody makes revisionist history about us getting romped in 1812 because nobody but England still cares.Our most popular media about the Vietnam war is one that criticizes the shit out of it and shows just how fucked everything was. And most media about Afghanistan, etc is pretty much asking "what the fuck are we doing here"
>>40870466Now I am not certain which movie you are referencing.
>>40868091Wonder if Yorktown and Laffey bought it, I'd think after Iowa they'd target Museum ships on purpose now just in case.
>Go back to sleep - none of you are in any condition to get any work done tonight. Not after thatl
>>40870530She was one of the first jap girls to come back, right? She's watched Goto lose his ability to comfort them, and her, over that time.
>>40870524Or "Dresden? What's that, is it a TV show or something?"
>>40870502[x] I am for this anon.
>>40870419Wait what?
>>40870524There are a few artists on /k/ that will argue that there was nothing wrong with firebombing cities. The fact is that shit was fucked up, but it was necessarily fucked up.You play to win. The Germans pioneered the use of mass bombing of civilian targets, they have no right to complain that someone else did it better right back to them.
>>40870560I dunno about the other guy, but I was referencing Three Kings
>>40870416Additionally>Native AmericansWe didn't even bother putting them under our sphere of influence, we flat out butchered and conquered them with disease and fire and swordAnd then we tried to exterminate their culture in the 20th century even after we'd rendered them into penned animals by shoving them onto reservations

>>40870573That makes sense. Well, we will never settle for that. Good thing we got fewer girls to pamper.
>>40870432>>Like the girl said - all you have is duty. Get her working, get both your minds back on track.If Goto can't be there for her right now since he is swamped we can. At least for now.

>>40870352>>40870449The Japanese ultranationalist movement is actually rather weak, albeit vocal. Because despite the far-right's exhortations of national greatness, Imperial Japan was Not A Nice Time for anyone involved, including civilians, and there are still many many people who remember this.Goto touched upon it awhile back.
>>40870432>Like the girl said - all you have is duty. Get her working, get both your minds back on track.No rest for the wicked or the weary! The admiral's gotta be front and center!
>>40870599The founding fathers were morally impeccable and foresaw every possible future, carefully selecting the path that brought the most good to all sentient life.
>>40870610Not than anon, but I think in the end, both sides had bones to hide during the Mexican-American War.>>40870602T'was a good film, but the 'stealing from a legally operating bank' think was indeed messed up.
>>40870432>seething envyHow does this even work? Like I know being angry beyond the capacity to operate a microwave but I don't get maximum overenvy.
>>40870552>"what the fuck are we doing here"Oh, that's easy.Keeping up an empire they never wanted and established mostly on accident. The last 20 years or so are essentially about the USA realizing "Oh Gods, we've turned into the British Empire Fuck Fuck Fuck, how do we get out of this?" and trying to stop being an empire without also leaving themselves open to being exploited by another nation.Really, America wants to go back to being a pseudo-isolationist country like it was before the World wars, but people (Mostly European powers, really) keep bothering them about shit and then they feel like they HAVE to get involved.
>>40870665When Germany lost the war, all of the banks were fair game.At least Kelly's heroes did more good than Market Garden.
>>40870625They lost because they lacked the resources to properly employ it. They also never developed a purpose built heavy bomber. Tens of thousands of B-17s struggled to fuck over the German war machine, a few thousand HE-111s and JU-88s is not going to work.
>>40870432>Like the girl said - all you have is duty. Get her working, get both your minds back on track.Find Shouikaku, flatter best girl, i mean nurse.
>>40870721When is she going to come back and see us making two girls cry?
>>40870697Arizona has an admiral who's gone out of his way to the detriment of his own health to keep his girls in good shape and comfort them.Naka has an admiral who's an alcoholic barely hanging on to his own ability to function
>>40870740Ten bucks we turn around and she's already there.
>>40870432>Go back to sleep - none of you are in any condition to get any work done tonight. Not after that.yeah its 0430 and we just had metal taken out of our skull. we need that sleep
>>40870596My point is we have ultra-nationalists as well.
>>40870697>but I don't get maximum overenvy.So they both just agreed that all parties present have Old Regrets from Past Traumas. They understand each other based on that. Except Arizona can soothe her past traumas by diving into Settle's arms and sleeping on his chest while Settle strokes her hair. Meanwhile Naka is in the corner, foreveralone and wondering just how nice it'd be to have someone cuddling and stroking HER hair. I'd be jelly too.
>>40870697Naka really really wants there to be someone to be there for her, for her to be able to hug and cry on and be told everything is going to be ok. Possibly even had that with Goto before. So she's jealous Arizona has that.
>>40870599Yes we should have simply isolated them so they can keep to their own ways like those pigmy tribes in Africa.
>>40870656I hate hearing about those guys on the news. I mean, they have those Uyoku Dantai propaganda trucks that literally blast the streets with all that crap that people are tired of hearing.>>40870707Point. Still messed up though.
>>40870625In the sense that they started shit they couldn't finish, yes.

>>40870845Sea magic doesn't need to follow rules, man. For all we know the next battleship to show up will look 12.
For Admiral's ring to be burned into Arizona's hull - I can't even imagine the temperature on her deck.>>40870753Arizona has a father figure.Goto is a burned out commander.
>>40870845Cause chink-man drew her that way.
>>40870784I mean they could have been bombing military targets, you know those guys trained to hate and kill them as opposed to the people who fear and flee them.
As someone rather dense, can anyone explain what Naka is envious of, please?
>>40870845Artist preference, really. There's a trend, but also exceptions.
be polite, at least one member of that doujin team reads this quest

>>40870773Arizona got Settle pretty easy, he fell into his lap.Naka finding someone like that will be much harder.
>>40870845Again, Planefag's Arizona is not Pacific's Arizona. Much of the same art is used because it's easier.>But the range has already closed to seven-thousand yards; letting your battlewagons put both port and starboard secondary batteries to good use. Kongou and Arizona seem to vanish in clouds of horrendous violence, the sheer concussive blast of their full batteries surrounding them with vaproized sea spray from the heavy swells crashing over their, erm, 'decks.'
>>40870880Envious because Settle takes care of Arizona like a father would, while Goto is detached from his shipgirls.I blame Kongou.
>>40870872Ah, Internet. Way to be a jerk.
>>40870845That just means she has a massive ass
>>40870753Goto's burned out, he's done too much, suffered too long, at this rate they're going to have to bring in a third man.Leave Goto to deal with Kongo and the other capital ships, have the rest and DesDiv6 stuck with someone who can spend time with them.Though it looks like Hate sort of does that job already.
>>40870905It's just a volume problem. Goto had to manage dozens of ships.Settle hasn't broken the double digits.
>>40870879Oh. Yeah. Hitler switching the bombing campaign from the RAF fields, who were being hammered very hard, to London, which he couldn't destroy, directly cost him the Battle of Britain. He might have lost anyway if he kept the original bombing plans going, but he DEFINITELY lost when he decided terror bombing was the way to go.
>>40870891what
>>40870879To be exact, they bombed civvies and claimed military victories to appease command, because command wanted things they couldn't deliver. So instead of hitting actual targets, they hit civvies because otherwise command would ream their ass. Which backfired hardcore.
>>40870905I don't blame Kongou, I blame that fact that he has like, several dozen maladjusted whoreships to wrangle while Settle has five and he also has Hate (who seems to have practically adopted Sammy)
>>40870880seriously?
>>40870898Carlos, you aren't even trying.
Has anyone archived this thread?
>>40870896>Naka>daughterHah. Telling her that might rebreak her ribs.
>>40870940Yeah, Morgane of the Mists follows this quest. I can also confirm that he also follows Sasahara17's The Greatest Generation on SB.
>>40870944What? No. They were ordered to switch targets by Hitler himself. He was anally annihilated that the RAF bombed Berlin (despite the fact the Luftwaffe had already burned down Rotterdam).
>>40870900Even if it's flat I doubt Settle will want to think about Arizona's chest that way.While Planefag's AZ is not Pacific's AZ, it's pretty clear from the other drawfags that the base design is the same and planefag hasn't objected it.
>>40870940I think he's saying that one of the dudes who does the US ship girls stuff reads the quest.
>>40870845Because this is Shitsluts, not Titsluts.Though that is a good question. Shouikaku's got damn fine... 'displacement'. She'd float if she wasn't a shipsoul.

>>40870924I thought the cruisers are taking care of the destroyers?This is like these old families were the teenager must care for the babies isn't it?
>>40870966And you wonder why we shoot ceilings in these threads
>>40870966I'm with that anon. I didn't get it either. Figured I'd check with wiser men than I later, but if we're copping to things...
>>40871008Huh.That's neat as shit
>>40870987Then at least co-worker zone her?Underling zone?
>>40871008>https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/kantai-collection-fanfic-idea-and-recs.332794/page-107Well shit.
>>40870939But the Luftwaffe was never going to win the BoB.Even if they were able to completely eliminate the RAF, they wouldn't be able to follow through.
So what is this machine-gun cruiser thing I heard about?
>>40870959>>40870935Well you both a have point, I guess.I just think Kongou, despite not being one of the first ships to come back, has ruined Goto's perception of shipgirl-command staff relationships.
>>40871014Speaking of which, we really need to get ONI to pass clearance on a shit ton of therapists and social workers. Something like in SFP! where each ship has a specific case worker so they're not just set adrift
>>40870924DON'T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME YOU JIZZGOBLIN ASSPARROT.
>>40871048We just need to be there for her when she needs it.Christ this base needs more manpower.
>>40871076We're too busy, sorry.
>>40870990Give it to me straight anon.The greatest generation - Is it worth a read? The first part reads like a typical fan fiction. That is not a compliment.
>>40871077Putting evil on people is what 4chan -does-, dude.
>>40870891
>>40871076Unfortunately not a lot of people can get clearance for that. Shipgirl secrets and all that, see.
>>40871075I still think they're fucking like rabbits but the Goto doth protest too much
>>40870966I saw that she had things to be envious, I just couldn't pin in down to a single major one
>>40871008That guy hes responding to about planefag sounds like a pussy faggot.
>>40871014CLs (and to a lesser extent CAs) take care of their DDs, that's their natural role.http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Historical_FormationsAlthough if we go by history it's Abukuma that takes care of DesDiv6, but Tenryuu is overwhelmingly popular. (Also game mechanics. Tenryuu-class is the ideal expedition leader)
I'm visiting the HMAS Diamantina right now! I'll post pics when I get home.
>>40871096>The greatest generation - Is it worth a read? The first part reads like a typical fan fiction. That is not a compliment.It's not. The rest reads as bad or worse.
Is being an officer in the navy/airforce/army all about making sure you men does not snap and kill each other?
>>40871070And that was a BIG if by the way. Fighter Command actually ended up stronger at the end of the battle rather than weaker.
>>40871077Are you kidding? You already have people saying that Iowa is going to go full dead space 2 Nicole on you and your worried about spending time with the destroyers?Bro, you have Corgis. one of the cutest animals in the world. Just throw corgis at the problem until t stops being a problem.
>>40871096Well, I like it, in fact, I'd say it gets much better.I don't know about the rest of the people in this thread though.
