Your wounded force steams east, defanged, battered, and harried by fresh, fast enemy units. Half of the hostile destroyers have joined the light cruisers, the ones with spent torpedo tubes circling their wounded, slowed cruisers protectively. There's naught but fifteen nautical miles between you and Hornet; where the SSNs still prowl unseen, keeping that last damned sub pinned down. Goto is dragging his force to the only mutual support he's got left – the circling, prowling floatplanes, Akagki's scant handful of Vals, Fitzgerald's eight Harpoons and the uncertain presence of the Virginia-class sub's torpedoes.

Goto turns to you. “Attack them?” It's a question, not an order – he's appealing for your opinion.

“Now we preserve mass,” you tell him. “The further we run, the more we space them out. Turn around and take them piecemeal.”

“We don't have far to run,” he points out.

“Those light units won't last long -”

“Our girls are also light-”

“WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!” you roar, slashing your hand through the air and ending the discussion. An awful, hollow silence spreads through the shoddy CIC as the unspoken question hangs in the air.

You turn back to the CIC, placing your back to all eyes, and wait for the battle to resume.

Division One and Two coalesce and join together, seven destroyers and one batfuck-crazy sub-chaser. With Hornet and her attendant damage-control team barely twenty-thousand yards distant, you turn the destroyers as one and charge them into the light abyssal force.

“Settle,” Naka says at your elbow, her voice thin. “Settle, this isn't going to work.”
>>
YES
>>
How far down can a sub launch a tomahawk before the ascent capsule can't function anymore?
>>
The light cruisers charge in, heedless of the scattered shellfire of Division Three's secondary batteries – they smell blood, and their torpedo tubes are hungry for a cruiser kill. Your destroyers open fire, rushing past the ten-thousand yard mark, their gun barrels beginning to smoke as they heat up with continuous fire.

You think Naka might be right – but you don't have a choice.

Yuudachi is the first to break formation, swinging around sharply and unleashing her torpedoes at the closest abyssal CL in a wide spread. They break formation immediately, every ship fending for himself, and the mad melee begins. Two destroyers angle for Fubuki, aiming to pass her on either side and rake her flanks, but Willie Dee scrambles to her side, holding her turret in both trembling hands. She's not trying to use the turret-mounted rangefinder – instead, she just holds the gun out before her like a talisman, and screams -

“LEAVE US ALOOOOONE!”

Her salvo straddles an abyssal's bow so closely that it breaks off, hull plates buckled by the near hits. Willie tries to close ranks with Yuudachi but one of the CLs notices her from six-thousand yards and unleashes its guns, six-inch shells tearing into Willie's unarmored flesh with awful effect. Clothes afire, she stumbles and falls, screaming in agony.

“FUCK WITH BALLS YOUR OWN SIZE, YOU UGLY FLUSH-DECKED FLOOZIE!” With a cry of high-pitched rage Sammy cuts across the CL's bow, firing her five-inchers for all they're worth from point-blank range. The long, low hull fades like windblown smoke on water, and as the sea foams beneath its feet where the Pacific reclaims the displacement the abyssal comes sailing forward to meet her. Sammy just ducks under the next broadside, six-inch shells skipping off the ocean behind her harmlessly, and pops up roaring as best a small pigtailed girl can. Her chest seems to be afire with light guns; 20mm and 40mm raking the abyssal girl's face, slashing her cheeks and eyes, blinding her with sheets of shimmering bluish blood. Sammy turns hard and -

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OUR GIRLS

“SAMMY, DON'T-” Naka screams, but nothing can stop the collision that smashes both girls to the wavetops. Sammy climbs atop her stunned foe, ripping her empty triple-torpedo launcher off one thigh as she wraps a hand in the CL's hair, flowing and waving in the waves like seaweed.

“STAY AWAY FROM MY CARRIER, YOU *CUUUUUUNT!*” Sammy screams as she brings the tubes down.

You scan through the various camera feeds swiftly, trying desperately to gain some sense of the fight, sort and order the chaos, reach out and fingerfuck time and space one more time, but there's nothing to be done. Hayashimo is caught between a brace of destroyers, circling her as they pump shells into her. Her batteries are mostly silenced, and fire is raging in the long, silky black hair that seems to perpetually cover one eye.

“Do you believe me now, Kongou?” she says softly as she tries to train her torpedo tubes. She's too close to the enemy; the abyssal girl just pulls hard right and lets them pass ahead, raking Hayashimo with light AA batteries now. “There was never hope-”

A smoking missile comes arcing through the air, aiming right for one of Hayashimo's tormentors.

“You were saying!?” you blurt out with joy.

The rocket hits the water just shy of the abyssal's stern in a ballistic arc, having completely failed to track.

“Y-you were ssay-” the destroyer girl's voice breaks off into wet, wounded coughs.

The abyssal before her grins, pointed shark-teeth gleaming as she strides towards you, the eerie blue radiance of her eyes jiggling and streaking about as Hayashimo's go-pro vibrates. She reaches out to grip her throat -

- and trips, stumbles and falls flat on her ass. She lifts her heels out of the water, staring at the small, but precise blast damage.

“HAYASHIMO, HONEY – DUCK!”

She tumbles to her knees as Mustin's fore VLS belches missiles, the bright nimbus of rocket motors soaring away from her like angry fireflies as SM-2s come lancing down at the now-stationary destroyer. It looks up at the incoming missiles, those blank, blue eyes seeming to fix their glow on you, right through the Global Hawk's feed before the falling missiles blow her apart.

“Settle you have to get them out of there. You have to get them out of there,” Naka says, her tone as cold and brittle as ice. “Settle-”

“The only way out is through,” you reply, the words clinking hollow in your chest. One of the CLs breaks free of a close melee with Yukikaze and Shigure, steaming fast for the cruisers. They focus their fire on it, but as soon as it begins evasive action they shift fire to answer Fubuki's desperate cry. You see Shiranui staring at the mangled remains of her left foot, her usual inscrutable expression now simply blank, confused, totally oblivious to the shells still landing around her. A Harpoon comes screaming in, its victim unseen from that camera feed aside from the blast that rocks it. A lone destroyer breaks free, already in its “humanoid” form, so you see the awful, wicked grin on its face as it lines up its tubes on the crippled destroyer and vanishes in a nimbus of light.

You blink, reaching for the remote to switch visual filters on the Global Hawk's camera when the fireball collapses enough to be distinguished as such on the narrow-view feed; the fireball and blast of water finally separating into their component parts from a single, perfect white-out.

The submarines have arrived.

Fitzgerald is the first to take return fire, a CL singling it out for a baptism by 6-inch barrage. The skipper turns his boat head-on, a move that puts the forecastle – and his bridge and own skin – before the rest of the ship as a shield against the HE shells, his single gun barking, lobbing air-burst WP shells to blind and burn the enemy gun crews from their positions. The flaming clouds of phosphorus are blown outwards as the CL re-manifests, its four-thousand ton bulk breathing into existence as if it never left. Mustin begins chasing salvos; dashing towards the large-caliber splashes of the cruiser missing its bow, still powering in at a crawl.

You're not doing enough damage.

You just aren't doing enough damage.

“Skipper.”

Hornet.

“Skipper. This has to stop.”

“Hornet, we're not having this conversation a-”

“I remember,” she says. “But you didn't leave me.” You can see her tears on the camera feed, her own go-pro rocking as she wipes them away, but her voice is steady and pure. “I always thought, if I'd done more... maybe I would've been worth fighting for. I didn't realize how much I *had* done. Thank yo-”

“NO GODDAMN EULOGIES, WE'RE IN A FUCKING FIGHT!” you snap, feeling your voice rising and not giving a damn.

“Settle, those girls are dying,” she says simply, and you hear Naka gasping, as if she can't breathe. “You have to end this. *Go.*”

This one feels more like it's focusing on our Shipgirls. (And a dash of survivor's guilt maybe.)

The second one seems to be more about hating on the Abyssals to me.

And, you know, I'd rather focus on thinking about our ships, *caring* and worrying and fearing for them, and whether we can do enough for them -- rather than cursing the Abyssals.

So... I'm picking the first one because it feels like it focuses more on our people, rather than on cursing the circumstances.

But, that's just my personal feeling. And hey, the second one could be seen as 'not wanting anything to fuck with our girls'.

Either option could be... emotional and impactful, I guess.

That'd give us six new jeep carriers, three new DDs, and three more DEs.

I did that mission the first time without shotguns. I think it was just coincidence that I didn't have any A-team assaults ready so I ended up rolling with dual heavies, dual puncher MECs, a support and a sniper. Bit of a brickshitting moment when they started spawning behind me because of the you know what. But after that the stream was slow enough that I could let the MECs knock em down whenever they came near and just frogmarched everyone back to the pad as a group.

Those jeep carriers are perfect for convoy escort and ASW patrol, which is mentioned earlier as being desperately needed

You've been lied to.

*Cheated.*

What kind of God worth the name would go through this fucking charade, this elaborate balancing act, abyssals here, shipgirls there, continuing the fucking SHAM of a just and balanced world where reason and logic and will mattered? Is this truly your God, who let his beloved son get nailed to a fucking STICK before he'd forgive man the sin of daring to reach for the apple forbidden only by the tyrant's command? Is his miserable, childish fucking jealousy so great he can't have any man triumph through his own means, his own mind? So be it, if blood is all that will sate him – you are the sacrifice. You trained your whole life for it, labored and cultivated that useless fucking *mind*, you laid the yoke of education and the shackles of unquestioning servitude upon your own flesh, dressed yourself in white clothes and mounted to the altar willingly. It was your job, your role, and here you stand, hundreds of miles away as those who have already paid the price once are forced to suffer again.

“Cheats,” you hiss, fists collapsing into little dense knots of rage and strain at your side. “Cheats. *Cheats.*” Only a man, a monster, nay, a beast could condone this – only a cosmic disease could make his own creation struggle for survival in a game of his devising, and then let the other side cheat. Occupying Iwo Jima overnight, positioning the carriers just right for a simultaneous strike, sneaking a massive surface task-force in almost under your nose just in case the rest wasn't enough – time and space? Time and fucking *space!?* They've been cheating them since day fucking one, since they first rose out of the depths a stone's throw from the Higgins to begin their slaughter. And even now, the perversity continues.

You should be there. You should be THERE, between the reapers and the weak, waiting for the blow. You shudder from head to toe as the sheer *enormity* of it hits you at last, finally surging past the barriers and deflections and half-truths you penned it up with for sixteen long months. You should be there, right now. You *deserve* to be there. The room turns red, your pulse hammering in your ears, pain seeming to close in on your existence as your rational mind slips and slides towards the precipice, borne along by blood-slick rage. Your consciousness collapses upon that one thought till its the entire fucking universe, all that ever was or will be. You claw at the fabric of reality itself, trying to move the world with your raw will as the lever – as sure and inviolate as gravity and electromagnetism itself, you are owed.

It all ends with a click.

One click, deep and organic and *right,* like your spine snapping into place when you stretch your back. You drift through your own head, suddenly aimless and off-balance, like a stool was just pulled out from under your consciousness. There's lights, and colors, and people shaking you, and -

- you focus on the screen.

It *looks* like the click *felt-* the exact right time, the exact right place; erupting from the still waters like the tsunami caused by tectonic plates snapping back to their proper position. Water cascades from the high superstructure, sheeting down the sides of gunhouses, waterfalls pouring from the fore and aft decks to slip over the sides past the seaplane catapult towers.

It is a heavy cruiser, fresh, undamaged, at point-blank range -

- and lighting up stem-to-stern with muzzle flashes and smoke.

The full brunt of the nine-gun battery is unleashed on the closest light cruiser first; the bow-wave of its sudden surfacing still washing over the abyssal's feet when it simply disintegrates; the eight-inch shells finding the fore and aft magazines at once. You're vaguely aware of Willie sobbing, kneeling on the water's surface, trying to lift a bleeding and battered Fubuki from the depths as abyssal destroyers close in. You barely see the Mark-48 as it streaks in; more a blur of impossibly fast motion than a bubble trail. The abyssal destroyer hears it coming and tries to run, but the torpedo overtakes it in seconds, reducing the monster to a big white cloud of spray and atomized oil. Mustin is side-by-side with a burning CL, raking it with fire from its CIWS system as two men maneuver a 25mm Bushmaster's barrel with their bare, burning hands, keeping the mount trained and firing despite loss of power. Hayashimo is floating on her back, long pretty hair floating in the water about her head like a halo as her own oil burns ferociously, her personal funeral pyre. The destroyer that was savaging her is turning in hard circles, arm swinging around painfully as it screeches some inhuman sibilance, but the Seahawk is circling it faster than its guns can train; the door gunner raking her sides and face and body, searching for an ammo locker or depth charge rack.

The cruisers have formed their battle line and are following Goto's last order, focusing their regular, steady broadsides on the approaching cruiser. It's torn and mangled bow kicks up an ugly, mottled froth before it, shouldering its way roughly through the water. You watch mutely as the eight-inch guns of four heavy cruisers slam into its belt and turrets and bounce off, leaving gouges and dents, but no telling damage. The ghost ship sits motionless, its stacks cold – no steam, and no time to build it. As the abyssal cruiser – the flagship – swings clumsily to starboard, you all understand what is about to ensue.

Sheer, brutal force.

The new cruiser's triple turrets train to starboard as the abyssal cuts speed, the smashed bow slowing it to a quick halt. From six-thousand yards, it fires first, the same slow, deliberate turret-by-turret walking salvo. The first shell punches clean through the ghost ship's superstructure, a second smashing through the belt like it wasn't there, holing a cold boiler. Confident in its armor, it wants only for a good,steady shot.

Until the ghost ship begins ripping it apart.

You see the water froth at the stern as the abyssal tries to get underway again, eight-inch shells punching neat round holes in its belt armor. You begin counting to yourself between salvos – one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine -

- the cruiser's guns thunder again, the big ship barely rocking as it unleashes another simultaneous salvo. Every ten seconds – six salvos a minute, double the speed any gun that size should shoot. When a shell strikes its midships turret a universal cry rings through the room when you see the guns fly askew, the turret turning aimlessly as its traverse motors die – penetration! Her screw cavitation dies off as the fire in her guts finds her shaft galleries, seizing her bearings tight and ending any slim chance of escape. There is only the next salvo, the awful mutual slaughter – kill or be killed. With their shells ripping into each other's guts without regard for armor, victory belongs to the one slinging the most steel – and the cruiser taking your part is slinging twice as fast.

And then, without further ado, the abyssal cruiser simply explodes.

Goto stares at the screen, mouth hanging open, his orders and attempts to seize the situation completely forgotten. A flash of moving white draws your eye to D3As flying away low over the deck, leaving the listing, burning wreck of another heavy cruiser behind them, its forward battery turret askew and smoking. The massive, unpeopled hull of the new cruiser is settling in the water as the latecomers arrive, the missile-damaged cruisers pulling into optimal range, swinging slowly to port to present their intact sides and unshadow their full firepower.

“Does anyone have any torpedoes left?” you hear Shiranui asking. “Anyone?” You spot her, mangled leg trailing an oily wake behind her as she limps along on one screw. The new cruiser is already sinking, the brief five-minute exchange having ripped its pristine form open from bow to stern. The midships catapults jolt, sending their navy-blue seaplanes leaping into the sky in a cloud of black smoke. They wheel about and buzz over Sammy's head, who's trying to limp behind the smoke pall of Hayashimo's burning oil slick for cover from the eight-inch shells seeking her range.

Finding the culprit, they buzz in on the deck, replying to the tracers of AA fire by firing their own foreward guns, waggling the rudder to spray the decks and suppress the phantom gunners. One makes a broadside run, depositing its tiny bomb against the hull with a dull CLANG, popping up hard to clear the mangled superstructure before zipping away low and fast. The delayed fuze detonates a second or two later, the cruiser lurching as its hull is breached below the waterline. The second one circles around to the bow and make a run down the centerline, suicidally low and slow. The cruiser elevates its main battery at the last second and fires; the titanic muzzle blast smashing the hapless floatplane upwards like a huge invisible swat. Undeterred, it putters along and neatly lays its bomb on the A turret roof. The blast dishes in the thin armor, binding the main post and disabling the traverse.

“We're not doing enough damage!” Shiranui says, the only one still trying to contain the situation – perhaps the only one uninformed enough to think it can be done. “Doesn't anyone have any torpedoes left?”

A scant thousand yards astern of the ripped-up cruiser, the sea boils and bursts, the cold, sleek black hull of a submarine exploding from the depths as it blows its ballast.

“All out, honey,” a tired voice replies. “But maybe this will do.” Hatches along her spine pop open, and Tomahawks climb for the skies on long, graceful contrails...

… and then they come back down.

You would need A) to convert her back from a museum ship, which would be horrifically expensive, B) manage the upkeep on a 70 year old ship, which is horrifically expensive, and C) set up a training program for sailors to manage an old WWII ship, horrifically expensive.

She's not even remotely worth the expense it would take to put back into service.

Orders are given, some of them by you. Your lips move by muscle memory, tired captain subroutines twitching and flexing in your mind like muscle memory as you and Goto organize the triage. Hayashimo lies motionless on the water as Willie hoses her down; some of the water even getting on the target occasionally. She's not holed below the waterline, but her upper body is so badly wounded that she can hardly steer herself; effectively blind. Shiranui leans against the hull of Fitzgerald as a man dangling over the side on a line, feet braced against the hull, works on her mangled foot. She stares at the battered cruiser as the torch goes to work, looking thoughtful.

Shigure and Yuudachi are carrying Fubuki's mangled body between them, the brown-haired girl suspended between her comrades with chains, their buoyancy the only thing keeping her afloat. But she's not burning... and for now, she's not sinking. The cruisers are standing together to one side, staring at their savior and whispering to each other, wide-eyed.

Everyone takes a deep breath – shipgirls and humans alike – and holds it as Fitzgerald's whaleboat motors over towards the savaged cruiser. It's already rising, revealing a pristine, watertight hull as it pumps ballast overboard to lighten its load – aside from this, there are no signs of life, no signals, nothing.

“Uh, skipper-” you begin.

“If we don't do it now the intel weenies will lock her up so tight we'll never, ever, EVER have her hull see the light of day again,” the Fitzgerald's captain snaps. “You ought to know better than anyone, Settle. It's now or never.”

“... I was just going to say, be casual,” you finish.

“... oh.”

“Yeah. They're pretty laid-back.”

He jerks his thumb at Sammy, who's leaning against Takao for support as a boatload of mechanics attend to the grievous holes in her tiny torso, angle grinders and welders flaring bright as they try to keep their power tools clear of the inflatable hull. Her forehead is a bloody mess, but when she catches the men looking she turns her mirror-shaded glance to them and shoots them a big V sign, complete with maniacal cackle that can be heard across the water.

“Outliers,” you insist. “Just get on the goddamn boat, tough guy!”

He snorts, reaches for the rope ladder, and grabs a big handful of air.

“duh hell,” he says thickly, staring like a cow at a new fence at vast nothing where the heavy cruiser once sat.

The Fitzgerald's XO breaks the silence with the question on everyone's tongue, pointing at someone off-frame. “Hey, sailor!? What's your name?”

Everyone in the CIC leans forward with eager curiosity as the Fitzgerald's liberated bridge-wing camera is panned by the watch ensign towards the new shipgirl.

“What,” Goto says.

“Who?” you add, your mouth hanging open like a fainting goat caught halfway through its cud.

“Hell-o~” Naka breathes.

The tired-looking young man in the navy-blue peacoat rubs his permastubble, cracks his neck with a satisfied groan, and tilts the bottom of his coffee cup up, up, up, before lowering it sadly. “Well, that cleared my sinuses,” he says, shaking his head about quickly as if dispelling the cobwebs. “Say, Mac, think you could spare some fresh joe?”

You know all this time I was still not entirely convinced Harder was actually male. I mean, no one has "reached out and touched him" after all. I was sure sooner it'd be revealed Harder was just a very, very flat chested tomboy. But now, we have two males. Intriguing. And this begs the question: what causes a ship to come back as either male or female? Ponder this we must. For sooner or later the possibility of a mating between a male and female ship will exist. And THEN what will happen?

It was a warm morning in Portsmouth.

The early sun shined upon the clouds, illuminating the sky in bright orange. The water rippled slightly as the wind blew calmly across the sea. The lights in the distant city turning off as the natural light of day rendered street lights unnecessary. The gradual change was visible even from here, even if the sounds of city were so distant that the quiet purr of the two Rolls-Royce WR-22 gas turbines drowned them out.

Captain Joseph Bradford looked across the expanse of water before him and his ship, HMS Reading sailed to port. Her prow cutting through the waves as she cruised through the littoral waters surrounding Britain. Her destination was the home port of the Royal Navy’s major surface combatants, her home, Portsmouth.

>>41929127

“It’s a beautiful sunrise, eh sir?”

Bradford looked behind him to see his XO, Lieutenant Commander Alex Grant. He stood there holding the little tablet that he always carried; on it was all manner of charts, registers and notes that he kept track of.

“Always is Grant. Any changes I should know about?”

His XO looked down at his tablet, swiping through data before handing the tablet to Bradford. There were just a few notes. The threat of a terrorist attack was higher than usual, so a few marines were to be posted around the ship with machine guns. This was in response to the police unveiling a plot in which a group of terrorists would try and damage the HMS Queen Elisabeth by ramming it with multiple small boats loaded with homemade explosives. While the plan was foiled before it even began, the Navy wasn’t taking any chances on any of their ships.

There was also a problem with the ship’s armament. Mainly with the 24 LRASMs carried in the Mark 41 VLS tubes. The new model LRASMs carried a depleted uranium penetrator. The problem however, was that a large number of ‘environmental activists’ had caught wind of said uranium penetrators and were trying to lobby for their disposal. Maybe they thought that the missiles were as radioactive as nuclear weapons. Maybe they just had a fetish for being annoying. Either way, they had been trumping about how they were ‘outraged’ and how they would ‘do something about the Royal Navy’s use of the LRASM’. And due to one such individual who had tried to infiltrate a USN dockyard to try and vandalise a Destroyer that was carrying LRASMs, standing orders was that marines would also have to look out for tree-huggers trying to deface MoD property. And unfortunately, there was no shoot to kill order on them.

However aside from those points there was nothing much to note. Standing orders were to enter the port for a few days of shore leave while maintenance crews performed routine work on the ship and logistics teams refilled the ship’s supplies. After that, the ship would head out with the rest of the fleet to perform naval exercises in the Atlantic. Right now however, the ships that they would be joining sat at anchor in port. They had either arrived earlier or never left.

“Looks like everything is in order.” Bradford handed the tablet back to Grant before walking back into the bridge, Grant falling in step behind him as he entered. Inside the bridge crewmen are manning their stations. “Captain on deck.” A marine guard on the other side of the bridge called out. But few people looked up from their stations. All were too pre-occupied with the job at hand.

Walking across the bridge, Bradford sat down in the pseudo-leather captain’s chair. He was the first to sit the captain’s seat of the Reading. And maybe he would be the last if the ministers in Westminster had their way. He knew the navy would fight it tooth and nail, but there were other things that ‘needed’ the money. Westminster seemed to think that they could fix the NHS by throwing money at it, and there was always more people claiming benefits. Of course the only party that had the balls to try and fix the problems with the benefits system was UKIP. And their answer was to deport anyone vaguely foreign and unskilled.

But politics didn't matter to him; his duty was to get his ship to where it needed to be with its crew safe and healthy. And if it was a mission to go fuck someone up then they would hit them with any number of the ship’s weapons. His job wasn't to worry about what a bunch of fat asses from Eton would be doing when they weren't claiming expenses for Bentleys or naming their children like they were some bizarre STI.

He probably doesn't like destroyers overmuch... all things considered.

Before I go superloopy and lose all coherence - dunno when the next thread will be; I have to pack up all my shit, and my computer, drive up north, etc. We do have interbutts up there tho. But so nobody's left calling BULLSHIT when they read this in the archives: everything in this battle was researched, tested, and moderately horseshit-free.

The Hard Taco class were very well armored for cruisers, with a five-inch belt over the important bits (Northampton has a three-inch thick belt.) But for some bizarre, lunatic fucking reason they had poor protection on their turrets; which most ships worth a damn armor THICKER than the thickest part of the belt: wikipedia gives an implausible 25mm (maybe the turret roof) and the classic intel chart gives 3'', which is, again, rather less than its own belt: http://www.coatneyhistory.com/Atago.htm tl;dr even in simulations they tend to shed turrets quickly; probably even more likely in real life given how many of them there are and the... unusual arrangement of superfiring turrets makes for tall barbettes that are hard to sufficiently armor on a ship that was already topheavy as hell.

And then there's the matter of the guns.
>>
>>41929184

“So, what are planning on doing when we are in port sir?” Bradford was shaken form his thoughts by his XO’s sudden question.

“You know that there’s still work to be done on ship, someone has to stay behind to make sure that everything goes smoothly. But I’ll likely spend some time down at the Fox and Hounds, they’ve got some nice brew there. Why do you ask?” Bradford responded.

Grant shrugged nonchalantly “Because it’s quiet as the grave in here.” Grant turned towards Bradford, his expression serious, his voice stern. “And hell, you need a break. If you keep busting your ass over every little thing that goes on your boat then you’re going to lose it. And the last thing we need is the guy in charge losing it. We’re in port for a few days so you should go do something, go see family or friends. Just don’t drown yourself in work.”

Bradford sighed and rested his head in his right hand; he’d served on multiple ships before this. He’d started as the chief of engineering on HMS Iron Duke, and then he’d served as the XO on HMS Daring before finally being promoted to command of the Reading. And since his promotion things had changed massively. Maybe he was trying to drown himself in work. Though it wasn’t like he could just go see his family. His parents were hardline anti-war, they’d practically disowned him when he joined up. His younger brother identified on all levels as a wolf, and thus he did not want to have to sit through another lecture on ‘Proper use of pronouns when addressing wolf-kin’.

That left his sister. She was the only person in his family who still cared about him and she lived up in Reading. While Reading was close enough that he could go there on a day pass he felt like that it would be rude to intrude. But then again, he was only going to be around for three days before they would be heading out again.

Bradford looked back at Grant. Who was standing calmly, waiting for a response.

“Fine. I’ll see about some R&R if you think it’s such a big deal.” Bradford relented. Grant visibly relaxed at the agreement.

“Good. You need the rest.” Grant looked back out through the reinforced glass windows of the bridge. The view from the bridge had a good view over the ship’s cannon and forward VLS tubes. Silence descended over the bridge again.

The silence continued on for a few minutes before Bradford spoke again. “Say Grant.” His XO turned around to look at him. “What are you gonna do?”

Grant seemingly had his answer prepared in advance. “I’m gonna spend some time with my family.” The answer didn’t surprise Bradford, Grant was a family man through and through. He had a wife and young daughter, aged 10 if he remembered correctly.

Bradford looked out of the window and frowned, what was once a nice clear sky promising a pleasantly warm day was now chocked with clouds. He turned to the navigation officer, a replacement after the first one suffered a fatal allergic reaction while on shore leave in Australia. “Nav, how’s the sky?”

The new navigation officer was watching his screens and comparing data with estimates scribbled on a clipboard. “Looks like the forecasters were wrong. It looks like we’re going to get a proper British welcome.” A ‘proper British welcome’ in this sense meant arriving in port during heavy rain.

Bradford stood up out of his seat and walked over behind the weather radar screen. And sure enough, an area of low pressure was coming up from the south west, bringing rain with it. It was at this point that Bradford’s ears popped.

The big bad cruiser that was bouncing Mayo and Taco's 20cm shells at 9,000 yards was the HMS Queen Mary, a ship which might have a few anger issues to work out and a serious boner for crushing cruisers LIKE SHE WAS *SUPPOSED* TO DO BUT NOOOO but I digress. Queen Mary had a 9-inch belt at the thickest point, and 9-inches on her turret faces *and* barbettes (secondary guns shields.)

Mayo and Takao pack these:

Northampton packs these:

Note the range/pen tables. Also note:
>Note: At the Battle of the Java Sea in February 1942, USS Houston (CA-30) was able to maintain a ROF of 5 - 6 rounds per minute during the early part of the battle, possibly through the use of "cue-balling" techniques.

>>41929273

The very same. Japanese guns pen 7.5 inches at 10,000 yards. The US 8-inchers pen 10 inches at the same range.

>>41929275

Same ultimate result in the battle. The choice was all about Settle - the second choice would have been his rage at realizing that the abyssals 2spoopy bullshit would fuck him every time, strategy be damned, and that it was THEIR turn to get lucky with the "suddenly, from nowhere, a ship arrives" trick. If Hamp hadn't popped up 10,000 yards from Queen Mary, he'd have been fucked. But he did. And sadly for Queen Mary, something was bloody wrong with her.

The Idea is that it takes place at the same time as LA, but is across the world. This is because it was hinted at in previous threads that the abyssals attacked everywhere at once at the start of the war.

Mamoru Kobayashi was The Best. He had planned this out for weeks. Carefully survieled the entire area, looking for hidden cameras, checking foot patrol routes, finding paths untaken. He was on A Mission From God, or at least A Mission From the Tabloids. They were now offering INSANE money for authentic nude photos of the "ship girls". Mamoru meant to have that money. He had deduced the building the girls bathed in and was now going to exploit that knowledge. It was of course, heavily guarded. But no guards could be everywhere, all the time. All he needed was 2 - 3 minutes tops, to install each micro camera. He had purchased three. As he made his way in the dark towards the building he caught sight of one of the girls heading there and froze. He carefully waited till she was out of sight, and then waited somemore, before resuming his path.

I'd imagine so--Los Angeles, as it stands, only really holds strategic value as a shipping port. The closest naval ports are in San Diego and Point Mugu/PortHueneme. Northampton is, well, a fucking hub--you've got civillian and military assets all around the harbor.

Exactly! Portsmouth is the home of ALL the major surface ships in the royal navy.

Including our two carriers (though at the time only one is combat capable, the other is still under construction)

As for the nukes, the only RN facility with anything nuclear is a port up in scotland. And those are usually kept in the subs.

Minor detail: this doesn't happen in the RN. They have separate tracks/career-paths for command-line and engineering officers. If you're an engineering officer, you'll never captain a ship, and if you're a command-track officer, you'll only set foot in an engine-room to scream at the ChEng (or get screamed at).

It's the biggest port on the West Coast, and it's the second-largest city in the US with a population of 4 million people. To consider it lower stakes just because it doesn't have a naval base is silly. The naval base PROTECTS the big city; weaking defenses doesn't matter if you side-step them completely.

The first camera was installed on schedule. It was the easiest, outside a frosted window on an over hang, it would only bare fruit if the girls opened the window. Fortunately, they did this frequently, counting on the wall around the building to protect them. The second camera would go in through the floor, the building was elevated on blocks, a huge foobar in Mamoru's opinion, all he had to do was crawl under there, thankful for the bad case of food poisoning last month that dropped 22.6 kilos of his frame. Getting under and out would be much easier now. The third camera though, that one would be the rough one. That was the one destined to be inside the building. The only ways in or out were the front door and the windows. The place shut down for the night around midnight, he had 15 minutes to wait. Time enough to get the second camera in place. Then a careful check to ensure no guards lingered, then a little of the old B&E.

The problem is strategic. If LA was levelled then sure millions of people would be dead but the USN would still be able to go on without loosing too much of their forces.

However if Portsmouth is lost then ALL of the destroyers and carriers in Britain go with it. And then the royal navy is fucked.

Helo.

Yeah, I haven't gone by this for a very long time, and SWQ IS DED, LONG LIVE SWQ means whatever I was doing with SWQ is now ashes.

I'm also responsible for the insane leaps in logic regarding SHIPSLUT PSYCHOLOGIST. Allow me to clarify a few things:

1. Takao is a nymphomaniac, yes, but her cocklust is one that's crazy repressed because she is also a very assiduous woman who does puts duty over pleasure first. A very, very tightly wound spring ready to burst, so to speak.

2. Myouko being on a wheelchair is something that's related to how she became a floating anti-air platform in Singapore.

3. Manifestations of shipgirls could happen anywhere, even on the ocean as you've just read. I just decided to have some of them manifest either near where they sank or to the nearest landmass where they sank, or in the case of Takao and Myouko, their last known positions before the war was over. And there's a LOT of ships that sank in the Pacific Ocean and the Southeast Asia region.

4. Yes, that IS the IJN Yura writing the books on shipgirl psychology. And no, Mr "froths externally at zeroisthebestplane" has not got back to me on shipgirls and their position on geopolitics. Or everything related to the silly sidestory regarding the Musashi.

Which comes to this.

I am sorely lacking regarding information on the IJN and naval combat in general. I've got CombinedFleet.com, wikipedia and Historical Kancolle for starters, but I need MORE information. And I can't bloody well afford books on the topic(s) at hand.

What I actually need are firsthand accounts of people serving on ships, ship logs and all that rot because I am a horrible autist when it comes to writing even fucking fanfiction about sluts that are also boats. Any recommendations?

That's kind of the problem with my own counterpart piece. HMNZS Devonport is right next to the city of Auckland, and it's our *only* major naval base.

The trick? "How do I write an entire Abyssal carrier strike-wing catching Devonport completely flat-footed and bombing the living shit out it *without* wiping out the entire RNZN and dooming my entire country in the first hours of the war?"

It was just after the upward pointing "up skirt cam" was installed that Mamoru heard it. A slight little "yip". The kind that announced the presence of a dog. An implied a Critical Mission Failure was IMMINENT. Looking around he saw a corgi. He paused, trying not to panic. Looking at the animal he catalogued its condition: ears up and forward, mouth open, tonuge lolling out the side, tail, up, wagging. Not angry, he thought, more likely curious. He had his opportunity. "Hey little man, want some bacon?"

ALL the animal's attention was instantly on him. He fished the food sacrifice from his pocket offering several strips of delicious pork to the corgi. The animal took to offering enthusiastically, turned and started off happily.

But was he now "made"?!?!?! Would the dog's prize lure unwanted attention? Should he abort? Mamoru had perhaps a minute or two to decide.

Best to abort Mamoru thought. He could still be gone before anyone could find him. He looked around, waited. The dog was nowhere to be seen. Obviously long gone. No new attention being paid to the area. A strategic withdrawal is in order. The final camera could be installed another night. Might even be less stressful, he use the download feeds from the other two fine tune his plans. He carefully crawled out from under the building. Once he was out he lightly dusted himself off, scaled the three meter wall and then checked to make sure he was yet undetected.

"Well, well what DO we have here?" he heard a silken female voice ask.

His head snapped around and located the means of his demise. An orange and white - dress? Skirt? Magical girl fuku? The idol!?!? No, she didn't have those stupid odango hair buns. And her hair was short, so not the one Li lusted after to end. "Sendai-san?"

Her voiced purred, promising pain: "Oh, so you know who I am. Do you also know what my specialty is?"

He gulped. There was no escaping this. He was looking at jail time now. "No."

"Too bad, if you had bothered to learn anything about us, you might have realized I made you on my way to the bathhouse. My specialty," she cooed, "is NIGHT BATTLE!"
>>
>>41929805
Yup. "Pacific" is a doujin being done by an American/Chinese team, and it's the source for a lot of the art we've been seeing in these threads, like >>41928695

"The Greatest Generation" is by sasahara17 - you can read it at FF.net, Spacebattles.com, or SufficientVelocity.com.
