You step inside to find the slightly jittery image of a Global Hawk's primary reece camera frozen on the screen. Admiral Thomas wields the remote and the recording begins. Two men in JMSDF flight suits are crammed into a tiny rubber raft, with a third floating in the water and clinging to the meager gunwhales. One of them is just slipping into the water, giving his mate a turn in the raft when all three of them look up in alarm.”

“The Hawk was tracking a sea-skimmer on the surface radar at that point,” Thomas tells you. “But watch, watch-”

As the shadow of a fast-moving aircraft races over the glassy waves towards the little raft, *something* explodes from the water like a tube-launched ASM. You have a heartbeat to recognize the miniscule glitter of Harder's borrowed dog-tags before he hits the airmen in the raft and arcs into the water with one in each skinny arm.

“... uh,” Goto says.

“Well,” you concur.

Thomas smiles at the screen. “Those Pacific War boats were competitive about lifeguard duty, I know, but-” he grins at the screen. “Guess I didn't know the half of it.” He turns to you. “So, what'd he say?”

“Mostly griping about his passengers,” you say. “He didn't appreciate being ridden by a horse.”

“That airman assured me he was just assuming a lookout position atop the periscope shears,” Goto says with a remarkably straight face.

“Damage? Current movements?”

“Heading home on all four mains,” Goto replies. “He should be in easy air range of Japan by morning, so he's skipping the batteries. He got roughed up some by depth charges, but he's making nineteen knots despite a little flooding.”

“Why did he call you, anyway?” Thomas queries.

“The charges trashed his radio aerial, and the waterproof satellite phone they gave him for a backup doesn't have a memory for numbers or anything. Mine was the only one he knew.”

“Huh. Well, the other boats just checked in a few minutes ago – they got battered pretty good, but they're intact and heading home. Looked like we scraped out of this without casualties.”

“How's the counterstrike on Iwo going?” you query.

“Global Strike Command tells me they'll have bombs on the island inside thirty hours, at the most. Forty-eight iron bombs apiece. Strike Eagles are gonna scrub the place down for AA before they roll in."

“Who's handling the landings and extractions?” Goto asks.

“I'm trying to work that out right now, actually. The JMSDF marines are chomping at the bit for the action right now.”

Goto eyes Thomas cagily. “... and?”

Thomas shrugs. “And what? That's decided above both our heads.”

Goto searches the air dreamily, as if searching for something falling from the clouds.

Thomas sighs. “Honestly? If we rush the job on the LHA in the graving dock, we're pushing our luck, and re-assigning one would play merry hell with our littoral coverage. But the Kaga's available and perfectly suited.”

Goto rocks back on his heels. “Ah.”

“Yeah.”

“I'll see what I can do, then.”

“I'd appreciate it.” Thomas takes the time to trade salutes with you both (a little more formal than the reflexive motions you exchanged at the door) and excuses himself. He's clearly weary, and he's got more work – and more decisions – yet to do.

FUCK yeah! Planefag's back! That said... I just caught up on the last two threads that I missed. Mother FUCKER.

Hate has an 18-inch rifle. What on- How does that even-?! Oh god, we're FUCKED. There's got to be some kind of drawback to that. Even with all the recoil absorbers in the world, that thing's probably better mounted on a bipod at the LEAST and that's if it even WORKS... I dunno, something just pisses me off about Hate and Yamato getting along so well, even if it makes perfect sense.

And even though Hate was MASSIVELY out of line (pretty much prompting at least an NJP from anyone less lenient than Settle), he has a point... What good's a marine that isn't in the thick of it? He's no officer, that's for damn sure... Just like Yamato is wasted not being used, even though her sheer cost means she should be deployed for only the most crucial missions, as I said a few threads back.

I'm SO hoping the invasion of Iwo Jima includes 30-cm-high Japanese and US marine fairies. Little teams packing mortars, rocket launchers, recoilless rifles and machine guns would be the BUSINESS.

Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution forbids Japan to become an aggressor in conflict. It entails that they will not deploy any fully offensive weapon, like fleet carriers, marines, or tactical/strategic missile systems.


The Helicopter Destroyer thing is a way to circumvent that ruling.

>>42175711
Japan is not allowed to have CVs, last I checked. But nobody really cares if they don't call their CVs CVs.

>>42175731

I've got a solution. It's not any more fucking dangerous than any other problem solving I've used before.

>>42175711
It's all Very Japanese and you wouldn't understand.

Japan's constitution doesn't allow it to have any projection of force that isn't strictly for self-defense. A carrier would go beyond that, a "helicopter destroyer" doesn't.

Apparently they took a page from the eye-talians.

>>42175492

IIRC, they're "destroyers" because they lack guns, missiles, etc. that would classify them as a cruiser or battleship, and mass amount of helicopters isn't a payload that bumps them to "carrier" by outdated treaties.

They can be converted pretty easily to take the F35b. If the PLAN goes offensive it wouldn't take long to do the conversion. Problem right now is the SDF doesn't own any 35bs or have any pilots rated to fly them.

To be fair, Article 9 is (possibly deliberately) very vague, as it only prevents Japan from using "offensive weapons". The trick is that how you define "offensive" is very subjective. Carriers that can launch strikes planes are offensive, but destroyers configured to carry lots of ASW helicopters are considered defensive.

Plus, with all the shit China is pulling these days, it's in the US' interest to let Japan get some bigger toys to play with.

Irrelevant to the DDH-184 Kaga. By the time you refit her to be really capable of fixed-wing operations, you might as well make a new ship; you could maybe land the odd F-35, but she's not built for extensive fixed-wing operations, even for STOVL birds.

Honestly I don't see the issue with Japan having a carrier, even a full one. Given that they don't exactly maintain military force in other countries to the extent that the US, Russia, or China do, having A carrier doesn't mean they're about to start. They barely have the capacity to assist in UN endeavors as is.

Even assuming, at the absolute worst case, that Japan suddenly finds imperial ambitions again, we live in a pretty different fucking world from 1941. These ambitions would be exceedingly short-lived and disastrous for Japan to even attempt.

Besides there's nothing that Japan would do that China, the Koreas, or anyone in Asia really, wouldn't find fault with. Then you have the Japanese themselves sharing a generally negative outlook on military service of any kind outside of some fat otakus who think GATE has a really good message of Japanese military independence.

>>42176174

The thing about 'offensive weapons' is that this makes as much fucking sense as calling firearms 'assault weapons'.

I think Japan's honestly worried about slipping into old ways even a little. In their cultural mindset, they tried isolation and Japanese culture and got shot at and beaten, so that didn't work. They tried expansionism and European culture and got beaten and NUKED so that didn't work. Now they're trying super hard to be American and capitalist and it's... Not got them killed yet. That must mean it's working! DISREGARD ALL ACQUIRE AMERICANISM.

Japan is very focused. Honestly, it's a strength and a weakness.

Yeah, the thing is that the Japanese government uses loopholes to get things past THEIR OWN PEOPLE. The average Japanese citizen is extremely pacifist and generally does not support the idea of a strong military, partly due to fear of returning to the "bad old days".

“... Kaga? Isn't she all shot up?”

“Eh?” Goto says, giving you a funny look. Goto sobered up fast after Harder called in and you went stumbling from your flat to hike to Administration; but now that the call of duty is fading, he's setting back into the pleasant booze-buzz again. You are, at least. “Oh. No. The Izumo-class helicopter destroyer, is what he's talking about. The one they launched in 2015.”

You squint at him, searching through your booze-fuzzed brain. “... right, I recall now. Hasn't she been laid up for years now? I thought the shakedown cruise shook loose all sorts of problems and such. Lots of bitching, big scandal, so on and such, she went right back to the yards?”

Goto visibly pauses, too fuzzy to mask his expression completely – and then gives a little roll of his shoulders; not quite a shrug. “All a smokescreen, actually.”

“... a ruse?”

“Not completely,” Goto replies. “The fires in the parliament that kicked it up were real enough – usual nationalist dickwaving and such. But the mechanical issues were complete bullshit.”

You lean against the wall and cross your arms, properly intrigued now. “Oh ho ho. Pray tell, why did they need an excuse to sneak them back into drydock?”

But, she was doing it to protect her squadron in hopes of keeping them combat effective in a war where literally it was only witches that could do anything meaningful to the enemy in question. You're talking about kids here. Forming deep emotional attachments to each other is bad enough if the worst should happen, she was trying to limit bad shit from happening.

It wasn't that what she did was right, it was that it was understandable given what she's been through. That to me makes her a far more interesting character than, say, Lynette, who's purpose is to have no purpose beyond being Yoshika's body pillow and cheerleader.

Goto smirks, cracking his neck and sighing. “Argh. Felt that one. Catapults.”

“... catapults. For the 'no F-35Bs thank you' navy?”

“Ayeah,” Goto replies. “That was nationalist's doing. The fact that your own LHAs didn't bother with catapults really appealed, I think. That and stealing a march on the Brits.”

You squint. “Who were waiting on the electromagnetic catapult that *we* were developing then, if I recall correctly?”

“They were sure we could beat you to the punch on that,” Goto says with a shrug. “All the institutional knowledge with the maglev train manufacturers and such. Well, long story short, they managed it.”

Now *you* rock back on your heels as you slide your hands into your pockets, studying the ceiling. “Aaaannnnd so letting the nationalists play with their toy at last won't go over well in certain circles.”

“Yeah, no shit,” Goto replies brusquely. “Oh, and then there's the small teeny tiny itsy-bitsy matter of-”

“The Japanese-”

“-invading fucking Iwo Jima,” you both finish together. “Yeah,” Goto rejoins with another sigh, slumping against the wall more than leaning, now. “But the Kaga's got catapults and the LHAs don't, so they can sling F-35Bs off with more boom loaded. And they can only fit a flight's worth or so, so that matters a lot.”

“Does Kaga know about it?”

“The ship or the drama?”

“Yes.”

He nods. “We talked about it, once, not long after she first came back. She turned her nose up at the word 'catapult' and opined that if the first one didn't need them, neither does the second.” You snigger, and Goto grins back. “Yeah, I'm looking forward to hitting her with that when she comes back.” He stretches, making you both wince as his back cracks and pops. “Augh, god, fuck those office chairs,” he says with real feeling. “Did you wanna chat about anything else, or is that it?”

Just because she was trying to protect her witches does not excuse her actions. If anything, they compromised the witches WORSE because they formed that much tighter relationships with each other and put them in greater danger of falling apart if one of them had been hurt/killed.

Besides, the support crews were part of her squadron and under her command too. At the very fucking best she was displaying highly unprofessional favoritism towards the witches.

It's about fucking time we started thinking about stopping these abyssal cluster-fucks before they BECOME cluster-fucks.

No idea what to do now.

Wonder what she'd been up to.

Hamp too if we have time.

>[X] Write-in vote: Ask Goto about something (specify.)
"Since we're going after Iwo... what happened with you?"

We must know just in case Iwo pulls ENEMY CONTROL on Goto during the invasion.

Maybe those small scars, not hypertrophic or keloid scars.

Shoukaku. It makes more sense than checking on Arizona, honestly.

She was freaking out during the whole OP. Might want to see how she's feeling now.

>>42177053
Because cats are better than ramps when it comes to tossing heavily loaded aircraft.

Don't forget the United States Army Navy Army (aka "Marines") and the UNited States Army Navy Army Air Force (marine aviation)

That "I TOUCH MYSELF" song was likely about masturbation. I mean, you SHOULD know that, but I dunno how fucked your sex ed has been.

Hell, did you even get sex ed? You'd think they'd brief you on your new body, but I dunno if they'd think it's taboo to talk to a woman about sex.

>>42176871

which I'm pretty sure amounts to turning around and asking what's up

Shoukaku

FFS guys, aren't you at least curious about why Shokaku was freaking out?

I thought you'd want some delicious drama.

Guys, just a thought.

We're more likely than not exhausted and still somewhat drunk. You really want to go fishing for your shipwaifu at this time?

Just saiyan.

The waifu wars are just as entertaining as this quest. And here I am just waiting for Salt Lake city to show up in thread.

A long night that turned into drunkenly looking up veteran stories. And crying.

I was drunk.

>>42177183
Sheesh, you ask a guy on a date and apparently you become his caregiver. If he needs looking at I'll drag him over to Wainwright.

>>42177221
Best time to go fishing. You'll put too much bait out there and suddenly you wake up covered in shipsluts.

I tried not to antagonize Marines more than necessary ... they fight dirty.

Is it just me or did i count a tie.
