“You are such a goddamned nerd, skip.”

You grunt at Hate, eyes still on your smartphone as you edit your e-mail for the umpteenth time. “That's skipper to you.”

“Same diff.”

“Bullshit. Skip is what you call your dog.”

“I call mine pains in the fucking a-”

“Not one more fucking word, Lieutenant.”

“You're no fun,” Hate returns before pausing to inhale another forkful of food. The mess hall laid out an extra buffet full of leftover stale stuff from breakfast - the supply situation is growing strained, and cutting down on food waste is being encouraged, if not mandated just yet. Hate and you both got used to eating crusty French Toast soaked in lots of syrup to get it edible again while shipboard, so it's almost nostalgic.

Doubly so for you, considering the e-mail you're trying to send.

“Come on, Skipper. You gonna spend your whole life with your nose in a computer screen?”

“I remember my mother giving me that fucking spiel,” you mutter at him. “Guess who wrote a paper on networked combat systems that put him on the rising star radar? Yeah. Git fucked.” You scroll through the e-mail to Mare Island Drydock LLC one more time and sigh - somehow, no matter how many times you go over it, it just feels... wrong. Too personal, or not enough, or making too many assumptions about the people entrusted with your vessel.

The ones now tending to your responsibility.

“Skip, that's some fuckin organic-certified, grade-A, hard-boiled, FDA inspected and approved horse-shit right there.”

“Yeah, whatever, stuff your fuckin face,” you snap - lowly, because you ARE in the mess.

“You have no idea what you're missing in the real world,” he says, his chair creaking as he leans over.

You don't bother looking up. “Whatever.”

Something moves in your peripheral vision, and you make a decent effort to evade, moving your hands to the left as Hate's hand reaches its pushover point and screams out of the heavens, jaws flung wide. Rotating your chair to get your shoulder in the way holds him off for a bit, your bulk crowding out his wiry quickness, but without warning he latches onto your shoulders and slings himself clean under your chair, feet whipping up to kick your phone from your grasp. You watch it with a kind of detached interest as it arcs towards a lazily-turning ceiling fan, only to land on Hate's stomach.

“You and me,” you say, “our energy levels right now, are just... so different.”

Hate springs to his feet like a gymnast, no hands needed. Taking his place again, he nods at the buffet line, where two tall, buxom girls are lining up with trays.

“... are they wearing-”

“See?” Hate says, leaning over once more to get a better look at Tenryuu's ass. “See what you miss?”

“Yeah,” you grump, turning your wrist over to check your watch. “Shouldn't they be on the goddamn plane?”

“They still have some time.”

“We're eating an early *dinner,*” you point out. “Are you sure-”

“Time sure flies when you're a flag-rank fucker with weeping women throwing themselves at your feet,” Hate intones sorrowfully. “It must be tough, skip, tell me all about it.”

“How about no.” You sigh, looking up at the girls again. “And why the hell are they wearing swimsuits? They won't have time to change.” You check your watch again. “God dammit-” You're halfway out of your chair when Hate grabs your shoulder and *squeezes* as hard as he can, muscles flexing to push you back into your chair. You turn and stare at him for a few seconds as he doubles down, then s l o w l y descend into your seat again, just so he knows you're choosing to.

He squints at you. “How many of those damned pills did you take this morning?”

“Too many.”

“No shit.” He shakes his head. “Go light on that shit Skipper - I mean it. You get hooked-”

“I died, Hate.”

“Awhat.”

“I popped myself off on pills, died, went to hell, and wouldn't you fucking know it looks exactly the same.” You hold out your hand. “Phone. Here. Now.”

Hate turns his hand to conceal your phablet behind his mitt. “Skip, you know Arizona likes you, right?”

A flush prickles its way over your shoulders. “Thanks for the hot fucking intel. How bout them WMDs?”

Hate's mouth opens slightly as he stares at you. “Oh, you dumb son of a bitch, you *did* know.” He blinks again, the gears in his head so obvious you can almost hear how badly they need some graphite. “Oh you fucking didn't, you didn't-”

“Sorry, you need to file a Fuck Off Immediately Asshole form for that information,” you reply. “PHONE. NOW.”

“You *did*,” he says with that maddening certainty of someone who's known you far, far too long. “What the hell's your problem? She follows you around like a bored Staff Sergeant. She's hankerin for something and it ain't just d-”

“ENOUGH!” you snap. “You know the goddamn fraternization regs as good as I do. I'm not in a position to willfully ignore them like you do!”

“The same regs that say Rear Admirals don't do EOD work, don't carve Yaks into bite-sized chunks and don't fucking visit fucking girls in their fucking rooms?” Hate snorts. “I've had enough bullshit this morning to last me a week-”

“You'll talk more shit in a minute than you'll stand to in a month,” you retort.

“That was Romeo's line,” he returns quickly.

“Well we've got the fucking poison down!” you snap, nudging your own untouched plate, making the slowly-congealing syrup jostle.

“You sent Arizona running out of the building crying,” Hate says, voice low and eyes intense. “And I KNOW you like her-”

“Do you?” you return, leaning forward to glare up from beneath beetled brows. “Do you really?”

“You two have some kind of goddamned telepathy-”

“You could say the same about us-”

“Except we're straight-”

“Now who's bullshitting-”

“STILL YOU!” he snaps.

You exhale slowly, body still tense. “Hate... she's a *war grave.*”

“No, she's a girl.”

“She's *NOT!*” you snap. “She doesn't *talk,* Hate. She doesn't text, she doesn't write, she barely uses morse code and even then it's almost all Q-codes. I think she's communicated a grand total of six or seven words since she's returned. That's fucked up.” Your voice drops into a low, intense hiss. “That's fucked in the HEAD, Hate.”

Hate's hands come up in claws that vibrate by your head with their barely-restrained desire to twist it off and punt it into Clueland. “NO SHIT!”

“What? You think fucking her on my desk is gonna *heal* that? Hate... I can't. I cannot do that.”

“Your cock fall off!?”

“Hate, if you were guarding the Unknown Tomb and someone walked up to it and pissed on it, you'd rip their head off and spike the body on the fence as a warning to the next ten chucklefucks.” You lean in a little closer, matching Hate glare for glare. “We can't give them their lives back. We can't repay their sacrifice, not one iota. All we can do is respect them, and...” your voice bends, forcing you silent before it breaks. “Don't you ever think? Don't you ever fucking *think* about *what* they are? They're our lost soldiers returned to Earth. Heaven exists, Hate. Hell, too. It's not academic anymore. And you think me,” you slap your chest, “me, you think I can just put the *moves* on-” you break off with a huff. “No. No, god dammit. And the longer I led her on the worse it'd get.”

“I take it the fuck back, you ARE blind,” Hate growls. “You RELY on Arizona. Anything you need done without bullshit, anything you need done Now, you give it to her. Not me. HER. She comes back and sails right to her own fucking CORPSE and looks at it and just waits to be assigned a new fucking BERTH, Settle-” Hate's eyes are either liquid fury or getting wet - “and everyone else is too busy walking fucking chalk around her and you just start *trusting* her and when it's your turn to keep the faith, you fucking *keep* it. You fuck. You FUCK.” His voice has dropped even lower, and he's so close now you're almost butting heads - physically, that is. “Never leave a man behind. That's Infantry. Alive or dead. Because our people are WORTH something; even their memory, even their clay. She's a big fucking girl Settle, it's not some rescue romance from your stupid mongolian cartoons, you sent a message that she fucking *matters*-”

“That's nothing special,” you say softly. “And you fucking know it.”

“This is squad chemistry, you knuckle-dragging Annapolis-stupid shithead,” Hate hisses. “She'll carry any weight you put on her back because YOU put it there, and then you go and kick out her motivation-”

“Her MOTIVATION,” you snap, “is defending the United States of America. An Admiral died on her bridge Hate, burned to cinders. Heroes bled their last over her deck, you idiot.” You feel the heat in your face - blush or flush of rage, tears or the burn of unblinking eyes, what does it matter any more? “She is NOT just 'some girl'.”

“She sure looked like one when she went running out of Administration bawling her eyes out,” he returns. “They ARE girls, moron, and you've treated her like a girl, and now you want to wall her off the instant it gets too heavy for your poor little feelings? You're a fucking pussy.”

“Yeah, big bad Marine can hear his balls clink together from twenty paces,” you sneer. “So big'n'bad, if Higgins manifested you'd fuck her bareback and never give a single fuck about Julie, right?”

The room falls silent as your chairs go toppling over with a light plastic clatter. Standing eye to eye with Hate, you glare each other down, breathing heavily - do it, you fucking little bastard, DO I-”

“GAH-HA-HA!”

-*fuck.*

“Someone gettin rough in here?” Tenryuu's booming voice sounds from directly behind you. “Why don't you pick on someone your own size, pal?”

In Japan, it's a thing sisters actually do for their brothers normally, because it's understood that men cannot be trusted with anything in the kitchen unless they studied under a master chef or something.

Thus, the larger ships, who need to carry considerable liquid loading just to fill their torpedo protection anyway, are loaded with excess fuel, which is then transferred to their escorts in UNREP operations to allow the tankers to shuttle back and forth between bases and the task groups, rather than being chained to them and forcing the task group to operate slower.

Rickover is the reason why the Navy to this day uses private shipyards vs the old school construction yards. When Fermi and co said "hey we can turn atoms into FREEDOM", he called Norfolk Naval and was rejected, so instead of competting with congress, he while still on the common line with the Commander called up the head of EB, and said "hey want to make some money? I got a new super sub for ya,", and thus with his allies in congress got the Natiuls ramed through.

In order to get the Los Angless class, the fast, ultra mega subs that do amazing things, he ordered the Captian of Enterprise to let a soviet submarine tail him. He ordered him, while several admirals were on board, to increase the speed by 1 knot, until Enterprise was at 30 knots.. and the soviet boat kept on trucking. That proved that everything they said about needing new subs was utter shit.

He also is infamous for telling people in interviews things like go hang out in closets, having a chair with one leg shorter to fuck with people..

Restoring old mechanical air raid sirens. They're pretty cheap if you buy 'em online, they're pretty simple, and they do need to be tested to see if you got it running again. Ideally, at 0300 with the horn sticking up against a window to muffle the sound for the rest of the base.

He was one of the guys trying to figure out how to make an engine that was both light enough to go out into the sky and capable of working, without MELTING EVERYTHING AROUND IT and or irradiating the crew to death.

To compound the issues, they had to come up with two different designs, one for a low and fast bomber that would go in under Soviet radar, and a High altitude lurker, something that could stay on station for months and carry enough food and supplies for the crew.

Interestingly, when the Navy first announced they were going to start building nuclear-powered surface ships, the plan was to build nuclear powered... DESTROYERS. Not cruisers or frigates or carriers.

It was because short range was always the thorn in the side of planners who needed to design op plans for destroyers; they just couldn't really operate independently even in peacetime.

But then Rickover showed up with plans for a full range of surface ship reactors (in destroyer, cruiser, and carrier variants), of which only the aircraft carrier version (and the cruiser one, which was just a quarter of the original carrier plant) was ready for use, and thus came Enterprise and Long Beach.

(All the nuclear "cruisers" after Long Beach were designed as "frigates" and used the destroyer-series reactors...)

Long Beach and Enterprise were the only ones that had that true box superstructure, and it was because of their early planar-array search radar (the forefather of the SPY-1 used on AEGIS ships). All other nuclear surface combatants had boxy deckhouses because, well, all US warships of that era had big boxy deckhouses to provide the extra internal volume needed to contain their systems. (Just look at the Perrys, the Spruances, and the Ticonderogas, for example.)

By refusing to treat Arizona like a person, as a woman or as a lover, we are denying her the humanity she currently has.

When Shoukaku talked to us, she was taken by how we treated her like a person. We didn't fear her as a warfighter, as a ship. We were a guy out on the town with a girl. That was it.

Yes, we treat Arizona as we do because she does represent all of the things Settle says she does. But Arizona the PERSON doesn't just want to be that, and maybe she believed that, when we met eyes with her and helped pull that shell out of her, we valued her as more than just a valuable asset and a wargrave, but as a person standing at our side, standing together against something that wants us all dead.

The reason so many shipgirls are attracted to Settle, why shipgirls are attracted to anyone, is probably because that person values them beyond whatever bad memories they may have spawned from. That person provides an anchor point to being a real human bean, which has to be an utterly confusing and even terrifying experience to them at first.

Well, I doubt you're a practicing Christian, now are you?

You notice we're not putting her in a fleet. As a flagship, no less.

We'd have to renforce her entire hull just so she could survive being towed.

>miracle she still floats
She's been rebuilt a few times, so no, it isn't.
>>
>>45126517
I get it. The horndog (see what I did there?) wants the reinforcement so he'll be the one on top of Iowa or Yamato (or both) instead of being involved in a Femdom.

It's part of a protective and quite natural instinct a lot of /tg/ has. Plus it gives feels.

I suspect that Aurora's going to be just a ceremonial flagship that doesn't leave port except on special occasions.

Remember, technically, Missouri is the flagship for CINCPAC or whatever PACFLT's commanding officer is called these days.

>>45126542
Thank you freedom Fairy!

Canada would be a politically neutral choice.

As with all things concerning that time period in Palestine... We're not sure, maybe, maybe not.

The names involved were popular at the time and, unfortunately, no Apostle thought to come back later and inscribe "Totally the grave of our Lord, Jesus Christ."
>>
>>45126616
I think you're missing the concept of "flagship" in the non-military sense. She's just going to a symbol and historical item. No one's seriously considering putting her into combat again.
>>
>>45126581
>Marine
>not already Navy
Ever read the headers on a Marine's pay stubs?

Yeah, flagship don't mean shit.

The US would put Yamato to work.

Actually, the Navy's estimate is that after her current drydocking, she'll still be 65% original material. Which is pretty goddamn impressive.

Not that bad a post-war fate, really.

I mean, what is Iowa going to do? Be her own tour guide? What about Arizona? What is she going to do after the war?

This is Russia we're talking about (originally) do not underestimate their abilities to do dumb things. They refused to call beer "alcoholic" until recently because it didn't have ENOUGH alcohol in it.

They have fake ambulances for high ranking businessmen and gov. Officials.

THEY LET MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF VIDEO EVIDENCE LEAK TO THE INTERNET OF THEIR SOLDIERS TAKING TANKS ON DRUNKEN JOY RIDES AND CRASHING THEM.

Do not underestimate their abilities to screw things up.

Modern container ships maintain 20 knots or more port-to-port, bro. They'd leave a 13-knot escort in their wakes after the first six hours.
>>
>>45126831
I'd hate to think they're our slave ships, but you're probably right. Unlike actual soldiers, shipgirls are not that replaceable. Even if we can build more, there's a wait time.

It'd be a shame if they're used as political pawns by various ultra-nationalists. Or shunned by pacifists, like the Germans.
>>
>>45126887
During peace time they are probably the first one to hit the bar and the last one home, with no one batting an eye.

like really? from BOWS? lol

I'd hope they get a good rotation program. And if they want to leave the service, are allowed to.

Again, slave ships is a bad thought.

>>45126924
And if I was a ship that faithfully served my country, I wouldn't want to return to modern Germany either.

They can always slow down. 13 knots escorted is better than 20 knots unescorted.

Those hulls are only designed to go one speed. Anything slower, and their range and fuel-efficiency actually drop like a rock. Not to mention that even in the face of the Abyssals, I doubt the modern world is going to accept those kind of delivery-delays.
