If you hadn't noticed, Japan has a little bit of a complex about remnants her wartime history.In reality though, if the US hadn't taken the Nagato the Japanese would almost assuredly have scrapped her themselves due to the critical materials shortages after the end o the war.

It's too bad about all those battleships, but in all honesty, it was either being scrapped in an already over saturated market, or being made into an artificial reef. Why would a battleship not choice the option that would actually help out the environment and perverse her for centuries to come?

>>40722419
I still found it strange that Kongou and Arizonia had a tough time dealing with them despite being newer/upgraded then those old dreadnoughts.

>>40722522

So all the WW2 scuttled ships come back as abyssals?

>>40722522
She was scuttled though, and that was before getting refitted as an airplane tender.

>>40722531
Planefag told us that ship's power is based on relative power to when they launched (and to a lesser extent when they served), not compared to what later ships were capable of.

>>40722531
Being an Abyssal is a considerable boost of power.

That and Arizona had no trouble slugging it out with them. Kongou is a battlecruiser (having some punch with speed, but not quite the full power/toughness)

“Hey!” you say brightly, leaning over and lifting the brim of her cap. “Have you ever been on the Mikasa over there?”

“Whwhaaaa!?” she quavers, her voice failing her entirely.

“The big battleship? No?”

“Haauuu~” she quavers helplessly, her voice failing entirely.

“Well come on, then, lets check it out!” you say enthusiastically, taking her hand and tugging on it till she reluctantly slips off the bench and follows you, still gripping Arizona's jacket with her other hand.

The IJN Mikasa is beautifully preserved; her somber grey paint still vibrant and fresh-looking under the summer sun. You lead Willie and Arizona over the wide brick plaza and around a large decorative fountain, a statue of Admiral Togo serving as its centerpiece. Willie stares up in childish wonder at the old-fashioned masts of the old predreadnaught; complete with cross-spars and enclosed fighting tops.

“It's... big,” she says softly. “I... I forgot how *big*...” Her eyes are wide as she scans the side of the ancient battlewagon, taking in the fearsome array of six-inch casemate-mounted guns along the broadside. Coaxing her up the stairway, you exchange a polite nod with the JSDF marine standing guard at the top of the stairs - given its location on the water and (now that you think about it) likely issues with more vocal nationalists, the park's visiting hours have been rather curtailed to facilitate a much heavier guard on the place - but rank hath privileges, and you're not adverse to pulling some for Willie's sake.

Willie comes to a dead halt on the rear deck, underneath a large sun awning set up to protect visitors. She stares up at the main guns of the aft turret, big twelve-inch barrels barely fitting under the awning.

You see her start to shiver. “I-is that w-w-hat the m-m-monsters l-looked like?” She glances down at the deckplates like they might bite her.

I imagine China's economy would be pretty close to collapse, or at least contraction if shipping is being interdicted that much. Watch this leads to China invading Siberia for resources.

Sadly won't happen. I am pretty sure the carrier set controls the Navy currently.

If we are lucky we might see carriers with proper actually combat drones for this, built from the ground up.

Or maybe a true long range ship killer missile, along with a newer and larger missile cruiser.

You consider pointing out that the slender brunette Willie is clinging to is the same battleship that blew a superior dreadnaught out of the water and sent another packing just last week - but Arizona is always so quiet and demure that you suspect singing her praises would just embarass her. So you settle for slipping your hand under Willie's hat and ruffling her hair affectionately. “Relax, kiddo,” you reassure her. “Mikasa's the first one they tried to summon, you know? The JSDF came up here and arrested a whole gaggle of clowns trying ouiji boards and every other damn thing and packed them off in a paddy wagon for being disruptive...” you lean over and lower your voice, “and according to the scuttlebutt that got e-mailed around after, they just picked up the candles and ouiji boards and tried again with their own people!”

Willie blinks.

“They've tried everything. EVERYTHING,” you reassure her. “But she just sits here, prim and pretty. And I can't blame her. She gave her all. I think the old gal is entitled to her retirement.”

Willie seems to calm down at that, and regains some of her curiosity. Soon she's scampering through companionways and even shouting into voice tubes. At one point you sneak up behind her and make a sound like someone's shouting back, which sends her squealing into Arizona's arms and earns you a Look Of Disapproval as the battleship calms her younger charge with headpats.

The interior of the old warship seems to hold a special fascination for Willie - and since you've got a star on your hat and two precious warships in tow, the watchful museum staff that shadow you let you have the run of the ship, occasionally stepping into unlock a chain here and there. Willie stares at the breeches of the main guns and the magazines beneath with wide, somber eyes, but she gets downright excited at the most innocuous thing of all - the crew spaces.

“There's so much ROOM!” she says, running around the main mess with her arms stretched out.

You look around the room and exchange a look with Arizona.

“... really?”

“Yeah!” she says enthusiastically. “Sailors must have loved it here! My crew was always packed in like sardines. They never even had elbow room at the tables.” She scampers off into the next room with you and Arizona trotting close behind. “Look! Look!”

You look. “It's the head,” you observe flatly.

“No, look - separate toilet seats!”

“... is that... special?”

“My heads only had a row of seats,” she explains, “and a trough underneath with water running down the length of it constantly. It emptied at the end. So the guy at the top would sometimes light toilet paper on fire and singe every butt on the way down.” She wrinkles her mouth and crosses her arms. “They were silly...”

You laugh. “Yeah, that sounds like sailors, all right.”

Willie looks down at the deckplates, scuffing the toe of one shoe against it. “I wish they'd made me a battleship.”

“Why?”

She murmurs and fidgets.

“Why, Willie?”

“I'd... I'd have firepower and enough room for my crew and they wouldn't get all angry at someone's elbow being in their ear and calling each other gaylords and holding pilots hostage for ice cream from the carriers cuz they'd have their own machine and-”

Putting aside the seawater thing a bit, Operation Crossroads showed that nuclear blasts are only good at destroying ships if the blasts happen underwater.

Above water air explosion? You'd irradiate the ships and kill the crew, but if the ship had any sort of armor better than a destroyer's, it would survive even if it was within a kilometer of the blast epicenter.

And last we checked abyssal ships didn't have crew, so...

Haven't all the Murican ships we got so far have been sunk in combat in some shape or form?

>>40724321
Why do you say that? Kongo, Inazuma and Ikazuchi were sunk by submarines, and they came back.

New ships when? I don't even care what ship it is, I just wanna meet some new ones.

Those are Athenian Greeks you idiot.
No one sends the Athenian Greeks to the mines.
The other Greeks sure.

>Only if I can take fucking pictures. I could use the fucking things to prove to hornet SOMEONE FUCKING LOVES HER JESUS FUCK.


All she wants is to be loved, and she will be loved.

Just not in the way she imagined

>>40724442
You're right. Sorry, I tend to forget the other Greeks most of the time.

Because the Athenians won't stop whining.

People seem to forget that Greeks who aren't Athenian were renowned for being swarthy, hairy, masculine motherfuckers.

oh god this is cringe worthy.

This artist seriously needs to work on the ship part of his ship girls. Many of Kancolle's artists kind of suck, but they at least put in the effort to incorporate the ship's aesthetics in the design.

It's a Saturday, the first day of summer is officially next week, and it's still hot as the dickens. I'm assuming some folks are getting gift cards or gifts, others are enjoying the lazy heat of the afternoon or evening, and still others are trying to do anything to escape this goddamn heat.

It's like you've never even met an actual Marine.

They're all like that.

Especially the women.

Hate, you've been assigned as the Admiral's person aide/war-dog handler. And you also have to teach warships how to fight.

Suffice to say that lady luck has essentially given up on you.

She gave up on me after Ramadi.

LA? LA was the gods of probability and luck forgetting to fact fucking check before committing. Everything since then, it's like being a shark. Keep fucking moving or shit's gonna catch up and END ME.

Good point, though over here it's Sunday, and it's officially tropical storm season.
