How do you think Hoell or Cole will react to the WHO saying that processed meats (i.e. bacon, hot dogs, etc.) cause cancer?

"What do you mean by 'trouble?'" You growl, raising one of your eyebrows.

Portland takes a deep breath and marches up to you and leans forward slightly in an attempt to be intimidating. Maybe it would've worked on a pussy little destroyer fresh from the shipyard, but sure as squat wouldn't work on you. Nevertheless, Portland leans forward as close a she can without actually physically touching you.

"Let me be frank." Portland glowers. "I've heard and read up on what you've done, and I saw what you did earlier today."

"Really? How?" Johnston asks.

"Drone footage." Portland says simply, then sees the confused looks Johnston and Heerman give. "I'll explain later."

"Hey, don't ignore me!" You scowl. "Get to the point."

"Those cowboy antics of yours are the exact sort of thing that gets ships sunk." Portland says bluntly. "Getting into close combat with Abyssals like that was a reckless and unnecessary call."

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

Yes, Samar took place on St. Crispin's Day.

She's a cruiser, she's supposed to be more conservative. Destroyers on the other hand do best when acting bat-shit crazy.

Perhaps a response along the lines of 'I'm a destroyer, it's what they pay me for'.

Such a shame Gearings came in rather late to the war, otherwise we'd probably be able to equip them with DASH helicopter drones with torpedoes.

>>43381916
Perhaps combine this with the 'if I wanted to be safe, I'd join the coast guard'

>>43381753
More than a shit load of action, she was one of the ships that saw the MOST action throughout the war. 16 Battle Stars, places her in the top 10.

"Oh." You expression immediately darkens and lean forward as well, ramming your forehead against Portland's. Since she was already so close, it didn't really cause that much damage, but to her credit she's not even phased by the impact. "Those are some brave words, coming from a ship that was never at Samar."

"But plenty of other battles." Portland retorts easily.

"Heh, fine." You grin as you concede the point. You knew of Portland's hefty battle record before Leyte Gulf. "But either way, if we wanted to play safe without any risk, we would've joined the Coast Guard."

Now THAT hits Portland in the gut, as she finally leans back without a word, still glaring daggers at you.

"Anyways, we're wasting enough time already." She harumphs, resetting her glasses. "We should go meet the Admiral. He wants to meet you three."

Hm, there's something about the way she talks about him...

You decide it was best to stay quiet and follow her for now. You were still pretty new to this whole "being alive" thing and even though you kind of vaguely remembered this base as Pearl Harbor, it looked far, FAR different from your hazy memories. Right now Portland here was your only lifeline.

However, you do file that little fact away at the back of your mind for later use.

"She seems a little.... stiff, doesn't she?" Johnston whispers in your ear.

"Stiffer than battleship grade armor plate, that's for sure." You roll her eyes. "Where does she get off being so high and mighty like that?"

"Maybe because she was at Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal, just for starters?" Heerman points out.

"Okay, okay." You sigh. "Still doesn't give her free license to be a bitch like that."

"Oh, I'm sure she'll soften up over time!" Johnston says optimistically.

"Like all trust a fucking cruiser." You grumble.

"It's nothing." You shake your head.

"Hey, quiet down back there." Portland grunts.

She leads you away from the landing pad, taking a path straight to a large structure you assumed to be the main administration building, where all the big shot officers set up shop. You'd only ever seen the place form a distance, considering back then you couldn't come ashore back in the old days. As you continue to walk, you notice a great deal of activity, which wasn't surprising. Pearl Harbor was always a busy place, especially during wartime. You could get a glimpse of the harbor inside, packed full of grey ships of all sizes and shapes. Really dinky looking ones, though, all armed with puny little cannons that didn't match any one of your 5 inchers in size.

"Geez, no wonder we came back. The Navy must have really went to hell." You mutter to nobody in particular.

Up in the air, you could see planes and other aicraft you couldn't immediately identify circling in the air, no doubt on air patrol. Along the shore, you saw weapons emplacements and fortifications hastily built along the coast looking outward, as if they were expecting an amphibious assault. That was never a good sign.

As you near the administration building, you started seeing more and more of the base staff. They were all pretty much human, but you couldn't immediately tell if there were any shipgirls among them or not. The three of you immediately drew stares and hushed whispers as you passed by. Were shipgirls like you really that out of place?

"Practically everybody's seen that footage of you grand slamming that Abyssal destroyer." Portland grunts without turning around, as if reading your mind.

You hold back from chewing out Portland for getting her baseball terminology wrong, but it was OH SO HARD.

>>43382771
Finally, Portland stops you front of a very ornate wooden door. There's only a simple plaque bolted on, reading "ADMIRAL".

"All right, we're about to meet the Admiral. He's in charge of not only shipgirls, but practically every ship in the Pacific Ocean, so you WILL show him the proper respect, is that clear?" Portland hisses. "So help me god, I will break your superstructures in two if you don't!"

"Yeah, yeah, we hear ya." You roll your eyes.

"Why do I have such a bad feeling about this..." Portland groans as she regains her composure and opens the door.

Here's how it went. Halsey thought that 3rd Fleet was covering the San Bernadino Strait. They weren't. Then, he locates a major Japanese carrier group, consisting of most of Japan's remaining carriers. You know, carriers, the most powerful weapon on the seas. That right there was the last real carrier group they had. Taking it out of the war was seen as a crucial act, as it would ensure our fleets would be pretty much unconstested in the air other than by land based aviation. Thus, since Halsey believed his flanks were secured and there was such a valuable target in front of him, he moved in for the kill.

It was the correct decision to make based on the information he had available. Unfortunately, he did not know that Ozawa's fleet was a decoy, nor did he know that they were effectively out of action due to a lack of carrier pilots. Even more unfortunately, he did not know that the San Bernadino Strait was unguarded.

So, in short, Halsey is not the man to blame for the San Bernadino Strait being unguarded, and he made the right decision based on the information available.

>>43383136
I flipped around the fleets, whoops.

And they did turn around. Then they turned back.

>>43383201
7/11, yeah. I believe we went with two Medium Lasers and two SRM-4s, which is comparable to a Jenner's 7/11, 4x MdLas and 1x SRM-4. The big thing was that we did it on a shoestring budget with whatever parts we could get our hands on,

>>43383232
Yeah, it's nice but...
To me, the quest wasn't about the design. It was more about the near-autistic participation of everyone involved.

You decide that considering this guy was an Admiral, you should at least show him the proper amount of respect as a ship under his command. Honestly, he couldn't be any worse than Halsey, right? You take a deep breath and walk calmly in. You honestly didn't know what to expect, but you were still somewhat surprised to see a rather older man sitting behind the desk, with a thick, white beard and hair almost blending in with his white uniform. He seems to be busy with some kind of paperwork, and doesn't even seem to realize you've come in.

"Sir." Portland coughs loudly to get his attention. "The new arrivals are here, as requested."

"Ah yes, yes! Of course!" The Admiral's head snaps up faster than a sailor hearing the words 'shore leave'. "Hoel, Johnston, Heerman, it's wonderful to see you join the fold!"

"Sir!" You and your sisters snap straight and salute, no doubt much to Portland's surprise. "Taffy Three reporting for duty!"

"At ease." The Admiral smiles. "Sweet Pea, that's all for now. You're dismissed."

"Yes sir!" Portland snaps a salute and then quickly reverses out of the room.

Huh, she didn't even protest the Admiral calling her by that nickname like before. Interesting...

"Now, I'm sure you three have all sorts of questions." The Admiral smiles warmly. "While we wait for your orientation crew to arrive, you can ask me anything."

>>43382993
Halsey COMMANDED the 3rd Fleet, and his dismissal of Kurita in favor of Ozawa was a classic air admiral's bias that an aircraft carrier always posed a greater threat than a battleship.

Halsey sailed north knowing that Kinkaid possessed more than a carrier task group worth of airpower (18 CVEs roughly equal about 6 fleet carriers) and a force of heavy ships as well.

Unfortunately Halsey's decision to take ALL his ships north (as opposed to leaving TF34 guarding the straight) never made it through to either Kinkaid or Nimitz, so Kinkaid sent all his heavy ships south to rape Nishimura and never thought to screen his north. And because MacArthur paranoid of the Navy plotting behind his back forbid Kinkaid and Halsey from messaging each other directly, Kinkaid only recieved the message that ALL of Halsey's ships had left early morning on the 25th...just as frantic messages started flooding in from Taffy 3.

It's a good decision to be formal.

>>43383293
Excuse me, I mixed my fleets around. For some reason I thought the Seventh Fleet was North Pacific.

Seeing as the enemy had seemingly been turned back in the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea, of course he dismissed Kurita. Kurita HAD turned back. He just doubled back yet again once night fell.

With one arm of the pincer movement crushed, and Oldendorf's BBs more than capable of crushing the Southern Force, of course he went after Ozawa. Let's face it, if Ozawa's force DID have its planes, it was by far the more dangerous foe, even if Kurita's force was still quite obviously still sailing for the San Bernadino Strait.

And yes, Halsey figured that the San Bernadino Strait was being covered by the Seventh fleet. Because of this communications failure, it wasn't.

"Give it to us straight, Admiral." You speak up. "How long were we out?"

"Well..." The Admiral sighs and gets up from his desk, pacing calmly to his office window. "You three were out for a very long time. Yes, you would like to know, but I suggest you brace yourself."

"Yeah, come on, we've taken hits before." You boast.

"The three of you have been sunk for over eighty years." The Admiral says simply, his head turning ever so slightly to gauge your reaction.

Actually, since Heerman survived till long after the war, all the way to 1982 when the Argentinians scrapped her, if this quest takes place sometime in the 2020s, she's only been sunk for 40 years or so, so she oughta know and be way more acclimated to the others...to an extent, she was Argentinian since the 50s.

"Oh, okay." You nod. "I guess that makes sense."

"Mhm." The Admiral nods. You notice a bit of a smile under his beard. "You don't seem to be too shaken up."

"Yeah, well, I'm standing here in a human body, so that's one of the least strange things I've heard all day." You shrug, until a cold hand grips your heart. "What about our crews? Did they...?"

The Admiral takes a deep breath.

"I'm sorry to say, but given the amount of time that has passed, very few, if any, of your original crew are still alive. The ones that survived, anyways."

"H-how bad was it?" Johnston stammers.

"Heerman, I believe you would know the answer." The Admiral says grimly.

Both you and Johnston whip your heads around at your sister ship, who fidgets nervously.

"What's he talking about, Heer?" You ask curiously. "You got sunk along with us, right?"

"Not... exactly..." Heerman bites her lip. "I survived the battle. Wasn't scrapped until 1982."

"Why didn't you tell us?!" You hiss, grabbing your sister ship by the shoulders.

"I... I... didn't want you to think I chickened out..." Heerman looks away, refusing to make eye contact with you. "I mean, you two got sunk and I managed to live? What kind of cruel irony is that?"

"Shit, girl, I'm glad you made it out!" You say as you bear hug Heerman. "Means our sacrifices weren't in vain!"

"I know, it's so great to see our Heerman serving until the '80s!" Johnston squeals as she picks the both of you up in her own bear hug.

"Well... the latter half of my service life wasn't anything to boast about." Heerman wheezes. "And can you please let me breathe?!"

Both you and Johnston let go, and Heerman takes a deep breathe in.

"So how bad was it?" You ask Heerman.

"Not that bad, consider what we were up against." Heerman sighs. "Include the two of you, Sammy, Gambier Bay, and St. Lo went down."

"...that's it?" You blink.

"Yeah. Shortly after that the Japs retreated." Heerman explains.

"Damn! I would've wanted to see that!" Johnston whines.

"I KNOW!" You stamp your foot in frustration. "Did we really scare 'em off that bad?"

"You did, in fact." The Admiral says with a warm smile. "The Japanese weren't expecting such a vicious fight from a few destroyers, and were convinced American reinforcements were nearby."

"Bad. Ass." You can't hide the stupid grin on your face.

"Yo, Admiral! I got those budgets you were asking about done and- HOLY SHIT!"

You and your sisters turn to see a short, blonde girl, wearing a hooded jacket and holding a stack of papers in her arms. You've never actually seen this girl before in your life, but somewhere deep in side you recognize her clear as day.
