Yahagi is your first target, you probing hands testing the integrity of her bow. For their size, you they were surprisingly firm, resisting each and every one of your gentle squeezes. Then again, this was Yahagi you were feeling. Considering her martial loyalty to Yamato and the fact that she had a stick up her ass roughly the size of the one Portland keeps up hers, it could very well be that she was very physically fit.

Thankfully, Yahagi doesn't wake up from your exploratory experiment.

You then switch focus to Yamato and... holy crap. Considering Yamato was the largest and heaviest battleship every made, she was surprisingly SOFT. Almost like trying to grab a fucking cloud! Her bow seemed to mold and shape itself around your fingers no matter how they moved. It was-

"Mmmmmm, good morning, Hoel." Yamato smiles.

"ACK!" You yelp. You would've leapt into the air if it weren't for Yamato and Yahagi holding you down in the bed. "H-how long were you awake?"

"Long enough~." Yamato says in a singsong voiced, more amused than offended at what you've done.

"H-HOEL?!"

Your face turns white as your head slowly swivels like a rusted turret, and you see Anna standing their in a set of pajamas that were waaaaaaay too large for her. Her face was red like a hot iron, and her antenna was spinning around rapidly like a helicopter blade.

"HOOOEEEEEEL!" Anna wails.

"Wanna join in~?" You grin mischievously.

"W-why would I want- eek!" Anna squeaks as Yamato rises from the bed and hugs Anna, pressing her face right into her thickly armored chest.

"Oh, you're so adorable! Now I know why Hoel has such a liking for you!" Yamato giggles as she nuzzles Anna's head with her chin. Yamato was a tall woman, even by shipgirl standards.

"Hoel! H-heeeeelp!" Anna wails, her voice muffled by Yamato's armor.

"Oh no, I'm not intruding on your relationship, am I?" Yamato blinks in shocked realization.

"Anna is mine! MIIIIIINE!" You chuckle as you snatch Anna out of Yamato's grip and hold her in your own hug, like a teddy bear. "She's not for anyone else! Except maybe Woel!"

"H-hey!" Anna grunts, but she otherwise doesn't make any effort to break away from you.

"It's nice to see you so protective those dear to you." Yamato laughs lightly. "It's an aspect that wasn't lost in the War."

"I suppose." You nod.

"Mhm." Anna says in agreement.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmrning." Paz yawns loudly as she starts to stir.

"Oh dear, I should start preparing breakfast!" Yamato gasps as she quickly slides into a pair of slippers and shuffles off to the kitchen. "Please wake Yahagi for me, please!"

"Thanks, Hoel." Anna smiles as she nuzzles her head against your shoulder for a bit.

"For what?" You ask, slightly confused.

"It makes a girl feel special when someone stands up for them!" Anna winks as she skips off to the bathroom. "Come on, Paz, let's get you cleaned up!"

...huh.

Well, there was still the matter of Yahagi, who was still asleep after all this time...

Oh, this was too perfect an opportunity to get one over Yahagi. There was the tried and true method of just dumping a bucket of water on her. A well regarded mainstay of the Fletchers. Or, maybe you could try something a bit more sophisticated... like hiding her clothes so she's forced to wear an embarrassing costume all day!

Or you could just doodle on her face. Sometimes the best things in life were the simplest ones.

Well, you didn't have to do anything drastic. You just simply needed to... "misplace" Yahagi's regular clothes and let nature take its course. You pick up her uniform, which as neatly and perfectly folded, and quietly slide it into the bag Anna had brought over to carry her and Paz's extra change of clothes and other little knickknacks. Yahagi would never think to look in there.

"Heeeeey, Yahagi." You kneel down and shake the cruiser awake. "Rise and shine! It's a new day!"

Yahagi's eyes open and she looks disappointed, as if she were expecting Yamato to wake her. Nevertheless, she gives you the regular suspicious look before sitting and stretching. It's now that you see that she had stripped down to her underwear to sleep.

"Good morning, Hoel." She says crisply as she reaches for her uniform... only to grasp empty air. "W-what? It where are my clothes?!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" You ask, playing dumb.

"My uniform is gone!" Yahagi's eyes dart around, panic starting to set in. "It was right here!"

"Maybe ya just misplaced it." You shrug. "It was a pretty wild night."

"I'm absolutely sure it was here!" Yahagi insists.

"Yahagi, if you can't find your clothes, you can always just take the maid uniform back to your room!" Yamato pokes her head in momentarily. "It looks so cute on you!"

Yamato then withdraws back into the kitchen, and Yahagi gives you a suspicious look again.

"Rather convenient this would happen while you're around." She scowls.

Unfortunately, Yahagi was fast. Way faster than you expected, and before you know it, her arm is wrapped around your neck in an ironclad chokehold.

"You are fortunate we are in Yamato's quarters, otherwise there would not be enough left of you to scrap off the walls." Yahagi hisses in your ear. "However, if you are to take an eye from me, then I shall take one in return."

That's when Yahagi uses her other arm to grab YOUR uniform.

Well shit.

"The fuck is going on...?" Sam rubs her eyes groggily as she stumbles out of one of Yamato's spare bathrooms. Yeah, her quarters were just that big.

"Um-"

"Whoa." Sam stops in her tracks, now fully awake. "I'm not sure exactly what you two are into, but, uh... I'll just leave you to our business..."

And Sam practically moonwalks out of the room.

"Hm? Did something happen?" Yamato pokes her head back into the room, seemingly completely oblivious to how Yahagi was slowly choking the life out of you. "Oh! Yahagi! You're awake! That's good! Breakfast is almost ready!"

"Thank you, Yamato-senpai!" Yahagi smiles and nods, though her happy demeanor instantly vanishes once Yamato is out of sight. "Now tell me where you put my clothes and perhaps I'll consider returning yours."

"My my, I never knew you two liked dressing up this much!" Yamato says happily as she serves breakfast to an idol and a maid, in addition to the other girls.

"Shouldn't it be Yahagi serving us, then?" Sam points out as she greedily takes her plate.

"Do not push your luck, Yankee." Yahagi scowls.

"Well I think they both look cute!" Paz giggles. "Why can't the other shipgirls dress up like this all the time?"

"W-well it's not very practical, you know!" Anna says, her face still slightly flushed. You notice her cheeks redden and her antenna getting excited whenever she glances at you in your newly appropriated idol costume.

The rest of the breakfast goes by rather uneventfully when suddenly Yamato's phone rings. She quickly picks it up.

"Oh, Admiral!" Her face lights up, obviously excited for the next mission. "Yes, they're here with me. Yes. Yes. Now? Mhm. Right away, sir!"

Yamato then hangs up and turns to you all.

"The Admiral is organizing another fleetwide meeting. We must report to the briefing room right away.

"What? Now?" Yahagi goes white.

"C'mon, then!" You grin as you stand up and take Anna and Paz's hands. "Let's not keep 'em waiting!"

"Hoel are you sure about this?" Anna wonders.

"Yep!" You nod. "I'm just wearing some slightly different clothes, that's all!"

"W-well then, let's go then!" Yahagi grunts, unwilling to seem weak by backing down in front of you.

"Well, this is sure to be interesting." Sam chuckles darkly.

And so your little group goes, attracting all sorts of curious stares, muffled laughs, and quite a lot of picture taking from shipgirls of all kinds and nationalities. Not even the regular personnel, having to put up with all the oddities related to living in close proximity to shipgirls, could pretend not to notice. After all, it wasn't every day you saw a maid and an idol waltzing through the base, right?

"So many stares..." Anna whimpers.

"Sweet Pea is gonna have a field day." Sam snickers.

"Nnnnnnn, I should have worn my idol costume, too!" Paz pouts in jealousy, obviously wanting to be the center of attention instead.

"Whoooooaaaa!" The younger Fletchers all stop and gasp. "Hoel's an idol like Naka!"

"Going into a new line of work?" Johnston laughs. "Blowing up Abyssals not doing it for you?"

"Hey, I can blow up Abyssals equally well in this getup!" You retort.

"Pretty sure she just came out of a roleplay with Anna or something." Heerman observes.

"Oooooh, ERP? Why did you invite meeeee?" Johnston pouts at you.

"W-we didn't do anything of the sort!" Anna tries to explain.

"Thanks, I guess." You roll your eyes.

"The crew always be needin' a good bard or two!" Kidd nods in agreement.

"Let's just say that the both of us got into a high stakes game of cosplay chicken, and this is the result."

Yahagi shoots you an annoyed look for seemingly putting the blame on her.

"I'm not even going to pretend to understand what that meant." North Carolina shakes her head and sighs. "Just... get to the briefing and don't cause a scene, all right? This is important."

"Aye aye." You salute.

"Anna, Pacifica, I'm counting on you two to keep an eye on her." North Carolina then turns to Sam. "Sam, come with me. The Admiral needs some help on a few matters."

"Got it." Sam nods and gives you a fistbump. "See ya later."

"Later." You acknowledge.

You then proceed to the briefing, still attracting a lot of curious stares. You make sure to sit near the back, so as to be a bit less distracting for everyone, though your fellow Fletchers all seem to surround you, pushing out even Yamato and Yahagi, who split off to sit with the other Japanese ships, quite a few of them ribbing Yahagi over her choice of maid outfit, much to her annoyance.

However, everybody quiets down when the Admiral steps on to the stage, the projector screen behind him displaying a map of Alaska and the surrounding waters.

"Ladies." The Admiral acknowledges the crowd. "As you have all heard by now, we have sent a scouting mission into the Dark Zone, and have found out that the Abyssals are developing a massive weapon."

You can feel the unease simmer up throughout the gathered shipgirls as the blurry pictures you took of the Colossus cycle through the screen.

"Obviously, this means that we cannot just sit idly by to let the Abyssals complete this new weapon." The Admiral grunts. "Which means we will eventually have to make an organized offensive into the Dark Zone to disrupt the construction of this weapon, as well as strike at the heart of the Abyssal threat and end it once and for all."

There's some light applause among the crowd.

"However, in order to facilitate this, we will need to clear the Bering Sea of Abyssal activity, as well as secure the Bering Strait." The Admiral continues.

"In addition, we will need to perform additional reconnaissance missions and raids into the Dark Zone itself to gather more intel." The Captain steps in. "Of course, this does mean we will have to split our fleet elements into two operational groups to carry out these operations simultaneously."

This shouldn't even be a decision. How many other shipgirls have the equipment for scouting the DZ? Nobody has the datalink besides us, Woel, Anna and Paz.

>>1629146
>>Continue to scout the Dark Zone.

Who knows? Maybe we'll find the Abyssal Queen?

>>1629146
>>Continue to scout the Dark Zone.

I'd rather do the mundane duty of clearing the Bering Sea, but our datalink makes us the only ones who can safely navigate the DZ.

Fleet Idol Hoel to dazzle the Abyssals with her presence, kira!!!

"We will focus our conventional assets and heavy shipgirls on our efforts to clear the Bering Sea." The Admiral continues. "We will also be receiving assistance from the Army and National Guard as they push from inland to retake Nome and other coastal positions to further tighten the noose around the Bering Strait."

"Meanwhile, we'll keep some of our lighter and more specialized shipgirls for Dark Zone operations." The Captain adds. "Naturally, this is an extremely dangerous operational area, we will carefully pick who will be included."

"Excuse me, but what about assistance from foreign nations?" Enterprise asks.

"The JMSDF has agreed to release their shipgirls to assist us in the North Pacific theater." The Admiral explains. "However, their conventional fleet will remain behind to protect Asian waters, similar to our other Asian allies who are focusing on holding the Straits of Malacca. So this will largely be an American campaign."

"And how about our dear Motherland?" Gangut speaks up, holding her pipe up in her hand as if trying to look dignified.

"It's not clear whether Russia will commit any resources to support our operations, but they made it clear that they have no intentions to interfere." The Admiral responds.

Gangut nods and sits down, seemingly satisfied by the answer.

"Britain and the EU will also be performing their own campaign in the North Sea so we can press the Abyssals from multiple directions." The Admiral continues. "This means that if all goes well, we may be able to link up with our European allies."

Well, if Repulse, Dorsetshire, and Graf Spee were any indication, their fellow shipgirls were bound to be interesting.

"And this will conclude the briefing for now." The Admiral finishes. "You will each be given your individual orders and assignments once the necessary preparations are made. Dismissed."

And with that, the gathered shipgirls begin to disperse. In fact, it was starting to get close to lunch, which was probably why the Admiral was so quick to end the briefing.

Hey Merc, here's a suggestion for a last-minute new ship!

Pic related. She'll be decommissioned this year anyway, so how about one last mission for the old girl?

>>1629172
>>Hang out with the Euros.

Sigh it would be nice to see action in coastal areas and working with human forces.

You know, you could honestly hang out with Graf Spee a bit more, especially considering she tended to be a lone wolf in all senses of the word. Not only was she the only German ship in the Pacific shipgirl fleet, but she had always acted on her own in the War, which was a habit she seemed to carry in her new life.

And, as expected of a German, she was off in the training harbor drilling endlessly. You heard that occasionally some cruisers and even a number of destroyers would stop by to learn a thing or two from her about commerce raiding.

"C'mon, Anna, Paz!" You grin as you lead them on out of the briefing room. "Let's go see the German!"

"Oooh, you mean Graf Spee?" Paz's eyes light up. "I heard so much about her!"

"Yeah, everyone has." You nod. "Bit of a local legend, I guess."

"I don't know, she's kinda scary..." Anna mumbles.

"She's German, Anna. They're like, built specifically to be scary." You wave her concerns off. "Come on, it'll be fun!"

You lead the both of them to the section of the harbor set aside to train shipgirls. Currently, there were only two shipgirls present: Graf Spee and Kidd. Of course Kidd had taken a liking to her since day one, and the two were hardly seen apart.

"Greetings to ya, Hoel!" Kidd waves as she spies your approach.

"Oh, Hoel." Graf Spee turns to greet you as well and she stops cold, her face turning white with shock. "What the schiesse are you wearing?!?!"

>And that's it for tonight! As always, next thread is next week!
>However, due to weekend plans, Frontier Knight will be postponed to Monday evening!
