You close your eyes, squeeze them tightly, and focus on counting to three – you spent enough months on those fucking four-hour watch shifts to learn how to fight off hallucinations. You open your eyes and find the hallucination looking right back at you – a tiny little *person* with a head too big for its body giving you that “the fuck are you doing in the Sovereign Nation of Engineering?” look common to every Chief Engineer you've ever known.

You turn off the penlight.

The EOD truck rocks slightly as the brakes squeak gently, and you feel the weight shift as the crew pile out of the cab. You're still staring at the blank armored wall when the doors clank and creak open to reveal the two seabees and two men in bomb suits, bulky helmets tucked under their arms.

There is a long second of very, very awkward silence.

“What,” one of the EOD men say, “the fuck, are you doing.”

One of the two reasons the Hood Blew up like it did (Aprt from the obvious lack of armour). It had ammunition for all of it's AA battery - 2pdr shells and rockets primarily - stored in unarmoured containers outside of the magazines - and when I say "outside of", I mean "Stacked up in hundreds packing boxes up against the goddamn bulkheads bordering the various magazines inside the ship".

It went sky-high because fire from either the Bizzie or Prinz Eugen (more likely the Prinz given the timing) detonated the unsafely stored rocket ammo, and started the chain reaction that detonated the Hood's main magazines.

It's basically Jutland Mk. 2, Rocket Boogaloo.

>>38665919
Plus, this. The Brits have always been hilariously cavalier about storage for their shell charges.

You look at the thick armored sides of the truck, designed to straightjacket blasts from anything up to and including heavy mortar shells. You play your gaze over the bulky armored and kevlar-lined blastproof suits of the EOD team. And then you think of that tiny 12-inch shell and the even tinier people that are ministering to it, the tiny people, the TINY TINY LITTLE PEOPLE -

“Aaaaah,” you say quietly. “Aahahahah.” You give the EOD team and their enthusiastic “equipment” another glance and the giggles finally consume you, erupting into full-out laughter. The tech with chevrons Velcro'd to his armor takes about one-point five seconds to size you up and just flings his kit at you before taking off into the night like a kenyan chasing a running hamburger. This only makes you laugh harder, the way he has to bound and roll in the bulky suit reminding you of a panda trying to run; made all the more adorable by the charming, naive delusion that there's any fucking escape from this. You keel over to one side, your head bopping the steel floor of the detonation bay as your vision goes dizzy, lungs aching. Your sides haven't just hit orbit, they've begun their fucking third-stage restart and TLI burn.

The best part is, they think you're a crazy motherfucker. But that just makes it even funnier, because being crazy can't hold a fucking candle to being sane right now. Sane people can make sense of things' And there's a comprehensive, awful, twisted, brainfucking sense to this situation that's truly marvelous to behold, but also brain-warpingly horrifying in direct relation to proximity; like watching Russian artilleryman loading an ammo trailer.

You click on your penlight and look into the rent in Arizona's flat belly. Arizona herself seems to be lying in quiet mortification, both hands clapped over her face.

“Sailor,” you rasp, and bite down on the giggles JOB TO DO JOB TO DO - “you there?”

There's the glint of EYES – and you close yours as you feel the world start to go grey around the edges. “Okay. Okay. You understand me?”

From within Arizona comes a muted little sound that's reminiscent of a miniature snort.

“DON'T GIVE ME THAT SHIT SAILOR!” you roar, your eyes still squeezed closed. “I'M YOUR FUCKING ADMIRAL AND IF I GET ANY MORE SHIT FROM YOU, CHIEF, I WILL LITERALLY FUCKING EAT YOU!”

Absolute silence.

“Now,” you say hoarsely. “You're gonna go to the nearest goddamn turret and get the man who sets fuzes, and you're gonna get his ass down here on the double.”

A diminutive affirmative sound floats up from below.

“Get him to inspect that shell. Ask him if he can unscrew the fuze without setting it the fuck off. Unless you've got ords specialists on your DC team, you listen to that guy. He knows those particular fuzes better than EOD themselves do, because if he fucks up, the whole ship goes with him, starting with the magazine under his ass.”

A stronger, more confident affirmative.

“And when he inevitably tells you that the shell struck water, tumbled, and smashed through under the primary armor belt, damaging the fuze via warping, then you tell me and I cry because it's going to get hairy in here.”

Silence.

“YOU UNDERSTAND ME, CHIEF?”

The tiniest, most microscopic desu floats up from below. You take what you can get.

A few minutes later, the sad confirmation comes, and you tell them what's needed. Arizona shivers and almost yelps a few times in pain as the minute sound of pneumatic hammers, and torches fill the air with tinny sounds of destruction – they're widening the breach in Arizona's side. During this time you studiously look away from the wound, not wanting to make... make *eye* contact with... with the Little People.

You didn't make it, did you? You died on that bridge, and you got sent to Hell, which is full of Marines and shit they think is funny. It'd explain fucking everything, wouldn't it? Nice and neat. Even Hate – your HIS hell; he just doesn't know it yet. Still thinks he's got one up on the ol' skipper, he does. He-

- your desperate mental flight is halted rudely by a sound from within Arizona – a tiny bosuns whist- “Jesus Tiddlywink Christ this can't be happening,” you wheeze miserably as you reach out and grab the wire-thin steel hauser loops poking out of Arizona's body. A joke about playing Surgery strikes you and you take a few deep breaths to fight off any mad giggles – and then you LIFT.

And it *is* lifting – the thin cables draw blood as they cut into your fingers; it feels like they're anchored to Obama's ego as your arms strain to raise the live shell. You feel the load shifting slightly as … someone... carefully helps guide the shell out of the breach.

And then, finally, its out. You slowly swing it off to one side, well-wrapped in a sling of steel cable that looks like minute silver thread, and lower it with the same careful consideration you lifted it with. The multi-inch thick hardened steel plate under your knees actually flexes a little as the inches-long projectile is laid upon it. It's remarkably intact; the shattered edges of the ballistic cap visible around the pristine armored penetration cap beneath – an AP shell, thank god, thank fucking God, for all the good it's going to do anyone. You note the base is badly deformed, almost squished, confirming your suspicions – Arizona's not the first ship to get lucky like this.

About this time another part of your brain speaks up and kindly informs you that live fucking ordinance is best appreciated through telescopes. You slide your arms under Arizona, praying to every dark deity you can think of that the cosmic mystery that is the Ship Girl will work as you hoped – and thankfully, she does. At least enough for you to stagger out of the bomb disposal truck with Arizona's still-incredible weight bleeding in your arms.

You get about twenty staggering steps before the suspension of the truck squeals loudly. Your hair stands up on end as you hear the leaf springs groan miserably, expecting your lamentably short existence to be wiped out in a titanic blast capped by a cloud that spells out SETTLE IS A FUCKING MORON like those educational propaganda cartoons that previewed full-length features during The War.

That, however, does not happen.

Arizona's lightened up considerably by the time you reach the road – the truck was parked atop a barren hill overlooking Yokosuka bay. You find the EOD tech talking into a cell phone underneath a lonely lamp illuminating a dilapidated bus stop, his compatriots kicking turf nearby.

“-fucking shitlicking psycopathic fuckwad shit-spittle dipwad holy FUCK where do they find these lunatic fuckers?” he finishes with an eloquent flourish. The voice on the other end says something curt. “Fuck YOU, Crab! That fucker's probably got some of Higgin's decking still stuck in his fucking head. You want your truck back, you-”

Shifting Arizona into a fireman's carry, you reach out with your freed arm and pluck the phone right out of his hand before he knows you've come up behind him. “Ords in your truck,” you tell him. “Send an ambulance to your disposal site, I've got a bleeding girl here.” You terminate the call and hand the phone back to the bewildered technician.

You lay Arizona on the bench, and are moving to peel off your bloodstained shirt when the seabeeas gently pry you away from her and open up a proper first-aid kit. One of them guides you to a bench, and you can feel yourself dozing off even before your ass hits the wood.

But you're still awake enough to start laughing again when you hear the technician's scream float over from the vicinity of his truck.

This time, you dream of the Coast Guard cutter's pilot.

The sizzling and popping of his fat is the worst part, but thankfully you can only smell smoke and charred insulation – but that doesn't stop the images, so beautifully clear, of the flame that eats into his cheeks and sears away his lips to unshadow a rictus grin; the fat and flesh bubbling and boiling off the long fingerbones gripping the wheel. The burning skeleton in the flaming pilothouse as the structure of the cutter is engulfed in death, burning men leaping from her decks, the foreward gun still firing. The rooster tail of spray as the flaming skeleton guns the gas turbines for max acceleration; the sharp swift bow of the cutter smashing into the ironclad with a horrific rending tearing SCREAM of metal a SCREAM of skeletal laughter, laughing, laughing, laughing like teeth rattling in a cup amplified in a cavern echoing over the flames reflections dancing in the oil-slick water.

One after another, rippling right-to-left before your eyes, drawing a screen of smoke and flame across your vision – and just as they clear you see them raining down upon the entagled ships, the ironclad and the cutter. Both vessels vanish in flame, the shredded bodies of human sailors flying into the night like little flaming pinwheels as the skeletal pilot laughs, and laughs and turns to you, your vision telescoping across the hundreds of yards to come eye-to-flaming-eye-socket with the pilot and he screams YOU FUCKING KILLED US A-

It's the attack on LA, not the last battle.

>And more than enough HE to make conventional land-based artillery look like a fucking popgun, I assure you.
...Why did we ever retire the Iowa Class?

>>38668180
>I assumed it was tiny and then got huge. Or is tiny and massive.
But how can it be a twelve inch shell if it's not twelve inches to begin with?

...Would the Fairies grow if left out of the Shipgirl long enough?!?!

They don't.

>>38668234

Because the motherfucking navy hates motherfucking fun, that's why.

What did you guys think was going to happen?

>>38668230
>weight reduction bullshit
it still weighed OH GOD since it was enough to have what we were lifting it with cut into our fingers and draw blood.

>>38668234
>...Why did we ever retire the Iowa Class?
Because ship-to-ship missiles make 16-inch guns look like popguns.

>>38668234
>retire the Iowa class
I remember it was an argument between MUH GUNS versus MUH MISSILES in the upper echelons of your government that prompted the retirement of these magnificent ships.

>>38668241
You confused me there deme. Good thing
>>38668229 and >>38668232 cleared it up though.

Candy and unicorns were gonna show up and tell us we did a good job and then take us up to heaven so we can fuck the 72 shipgirls.

>>38668145
Well, she's a battleship, only in girl form.
>>38668234
It's still a 12-inch shell, just smaller.

>>38668273
Just more effective. 16" shells still are fucking boomy.

>>38668257
Nooo, I'm pretty sure the Navy fought tooth and nail to keep the Boom on standby, it's just that the Pentagon didn't want to keep paying for boats that aren't Aircraft Carriers or Missile Destroyers...
Hence why the Mighty Mo and the Big Stick are museum ships now.

I wonder if the DARPA guys can fix the 16'' inchers to have GPS guidance like the ones on the DDG's.

>>38668234


fairies do all sorts of things outside of shipgirls, like lsc.

>>38668234
>...Why did we ever retire the Iowa Class?

Because a ship that's old and has high maintenance requirements, antiquated powerplants and requires 1600 fucking crew to man is extremely expensive for what it is in the modern era - a heavy seaborne artillery platform.

>>38668234
>...Why did we ever retire the Iowa Class?

Because they were fucking old and fucking expensive to run. There was no justification for keeping a 70-year old steamship that requires 1600+ people to crew (and who have to learn how to work 70+ old equipment) for the only purpose of shore bombardment. Especially since we haven't done an amphibious assault in 20+ years. Also their range is rather small. You get about 20 miles of shore that you can hit, and then you're SOL. Kinda limited usage for the things.

>>38668273
hahahahahaha no. 16-inch shells carry far more explosive than a Tomahawk or a Harpoon. However, the Tomahawk and Harpoon have ranges in the hundreds of miles as opposed to the low dozens. The guns were simply obsolete in naval ship-to-ship warfare.

>>38668313
They did not. The Navy hated having to hold onto them, and purposefully demiled the Missouri and New Jersey just so they could get rid of them.

>>38668269
Oh yes it weighed OH GOD.
Then it became even heavier! Fun stuff.

>>38668313
You forgot about submarines there.

>>38668326
THIS POST GAVE ME HERESY

>>38668334
Probably. There's a lot more real estate to work with on a 16" shell, so to speak

>>38668349
>>38668354
Impressive hivemind

>>38668313
Other problems:

We hadn't made more 16" shells since the 40s, and the ones we had were long past their expiration date.

These ships weren't made to last 70 years, and we had no source of spares
