One of your earliest memories is playing tic-tac-toe with your grandfather; all whiskered warmth and love; his grizzled smile as you marveled at how he could always win if he took the first move; taking the center square. Later, at the Academy, the fencing instructor making you practice till you could stride towards a wall, stop, and reach your arm out to just barely brush it with your fingertips, measuring the distance to the millimeter by eye and intuition. Your first fencing matches, the struggle to master the basic parry and later the riposte; the uncanny realization that the movements were incredibly simple, and the great and over-riding difficulty was *timing* them. Victory, always, determined by seconds and millimeters.

Spread before you on the tactical map is Time and Space; interwoven into one fabric (Einstein only gave numbers to what Alexander knew, you realize,) the tapestry upon which life and death are about to be recorded. Reduced to such symbolic sterility, you almost feel as if you could reach out and *grab* it up in your hands, pull and *stretch* it to fit your needs; becoming distant when the enemy wants you near and near where he wants you far. Reality falls into place with a soft, subtle “click.”

“Hornet,” you say, your voice sounding distant and hollow to your own ears. “Launch your spotted SBDs and vector them for that Surface Action Group to your south, where they will commence anti-surface strikes. They are to make best time at military power to and from the objective, and loiter at altitude when they return to you. When they've cleared the decks, turn and sail due east at flank speed.”

“Aye, sir,” Hornet says.

By coincidence or unholy design, your forces stand upon the first point of a perfect triangle, with Iwo Jima at the second and the abyssal carriers at the third; each side almost exactly 225 nautical miles apart. Unimpeded, their strikes will arrive simultaneously. But steaming east, towards the abyssals and away from Iwo... assuming their strikes are launching right now, it should give you... twenty-five minutes between waves, give or take a few.

Ninety miles to the surface group, and ninety miles back. The SBDs should drop their bombs and be back over Hornet, fuel-light and at optimal combat weight in sixty-six minutes, roughly. The abyssal's carrier strike, which you're sailing towards, will arrive in about seventy-two.

Assuming the abyssal carriers keep their course, your strike should meet them in approximately eighty-four minutes. The P-8 Poseidons out of Yokota make 440 knots at cruise, meaning they'll arrive in seventy-one minutes... making their attacks just before the coordinated strike package rolls in.

The pieces are falling together into an image that's terribly familiar, and yet... it's the way to win. It's the *only* way to win, it seems – you don't feel like a commander so much as water flowing through a downhill channel, following the path of least resistance, picking up velocity towards terrible and chaotic rapids.

“Mustin, Fitzgerald. Devote eighty percent of your Tomahawks to an anti-runway strike against Iwo Jima. They're cut into volcanic rock, so don't hold back.” The affirmatives of the skippers drift back to you; and within a few minutes the screen lights up with the little tracks of Tomahawks beginning their long, sea-skimming trek towards runways that've been programmed into target catalogs for decades... just in case. Time to impact – about thirty minutes. Iwo's first strike package will be its last.

With plenty of Time to kill before the fireworks really start in earnest, you turn to the conventional forces at your disposal – as limited as they are. A squadron of Super Hornets at Atsugi from the carrier; armed and already taxiing. Japanese F-2s in the air and tanking up even now for their final inbound leg to adopt a CAP over your forces. And four F-22s from Kaneda, pushing the limits of their impressive range. You relay the orders that will bring them into play at the last possible minute, giving them as much combat time as possible – and with fighters punching afterburner at low altitude, at the limits of their range, that time is terribly limited indeed.

The dice are cast and sailing... and all you can do now is wait for them to land.

No, definitely not afterburners.

>>41755731
According to the map, the F-22s are just barely in range. I suggest using them to attack with BVRAAMs to maximize potential offensive range (area in which they can kill a bitch in).

The Reagan has hornets, and while they are not stealthy like the F-22 they can carry air-launched harpoons. Assuming that they are Super-hornets not the stock A-D variants. I suggest using them as missile trucks.

The Yokota AFB has already been covered.

We know abyssals can fuck with radar and visible radiation to an extent. Would modern stealth technology be useful against them? Or would it just be extra weight? Most abyssals are far too primitive to have access to radar or sonar anyways. In any case they already know we're here so the F-22s are likely armed to the teeth, stealth be damned.

Well, we a need ship fast enough to keep up with Hornet, with enough AAA and firepower to fend off almost any real threat. And American cruisers had ridiculous levels of AAA and firepower by the end. Picking up a Cleveland class would, granted, make all the Japanese light cruiser spontaneously explode in envy...

>>41756580

I would absolutely go for an Atlanta.

Not that I'm surprised after all the shenanigans, but can't fathom what that particular one means.

Let's see, the most useful cruisers would probably be USS San Diego and USS San Francisco going by there war record.

Given your previous choices of ship, the most likely are probably USS Atlanta and USS Houston.

For maximum trolls of the waifu-fags and for whatever Hate is planning with his Yankee comment, the best choice is USS Marblehead, given her personality in Pacific and where she's named after.

That's not an end dumbass, Yokosuka never died, therefore Yokosuka cannot "come back", Iwo Jima 'died' when she was abandoned.

Seeing how Yokosuka was never abandoned by either side, as she continued to be a JSDF base, she is not coming back as anything.

End of story, you're not getting your way here, get the fuck over yourself.

According to Hate, Iowa remebered her time as a park. This indicates that she wasn't 'dead', and came back regardless.

Furthermore, she came back in her 1940s configuration, which suggests that the returning phenomenon is not time-limited.

And Iwo Jima does (did?) have a JMSDF air base on it, along with the JAXA station.

None of this guarantees Yokosuka will come back as an abyssal, of course. But given all this, on what grounds are you ruling out that possibility?

I don't know for sure, but I will say that a Mk77 bomb weighs 750 pounds, and the B-52 can carry 51 M.117s

sure, let's go with that. Only time she'll be able to get to him without him forcibly denying her the spoils of his loins.

But the question is, when a museum ship "re-activates". Do they revert to their original weapons that they were first commissioned with. Or do they come back with their weapons load at the end of the war?

We all know the rules.

Take a drink.

god dammit iku

It's clear that both Hachi and Iku want Harder's D.

Makes me wonder if he'll end up with a small harem.

I am curious to the survival of this feline.

I'll probably stick to the faux-german so popular in old Hollywood, so I don't have to deal with Google Translate and hearing people bitch about my sucky German (it's been over ten years since I last practiced, fuk u)

There might be more of it in the future (far future, depending on how long planefag keeps KCQ running), but I'm going to be shifting my focus to more secret squirrel stuff (boring) and using some of the other supporting cast I've mentioned.

I most likely will not have a storytime ready before the end of the thread, though :(

You *wait.*

The sunlight shimmers and glimmers on the surface far above your head.

There are demons in the ocean. You can't see them, but you've expecting them for hours, and now you've finally got the hydrophone contact – the distant murmur of a great galloping gaggle of assholes making best time miles away... and closing. You've been working your way forward, trying to get into a good firing position for when they pull alongside. Shortly you'll be attempting the most difficult attack in the book – an approach to a carrier group, in the day, in clear water. You've been poking your periscope up every now and then and haven't picked up any search radars on your radials, so you're currently debating the risk of surfacing to make a perilous dash towards -

“Harrrrrrrdeeeerr~saaaaaaaahn,” a familiar voice purrsighs into your ear. Your periscope mast was also equipped with a very compact “satellite phone,” whatever the fuck that is, allowing you the highly unusual luxury of radio communications with “your” wolfpack at periscope depth with minimal risk of hostile interception. Every time you stick your snout up, I-8 is there crooning into your ear.

“I'm already whet, Harder-saaaa~aaahn~!” A fiendish, almost-embarrassed giggle.

You're starting to reconsider the surface dash. Being spotted and dive-bombed by an abyssal search plane would be a swift and honorable death, but part of you fears her ongoing sluttery will poison your soul and follow you into the afterlife.

“What depth have you been keeping?!” you snap back. “I thought you were to the south of me.”

“I've been... going dowhn~” she sighs.
