You come to the surface sputtering and mad. Finding your cover floating nearby, you snatch it and jam it on your head, then turn to Arizona to glower. She turns away from you to seize the rusting iron rungs set into the concrete dock and begin climbing.

“Okay,” you mutter. “Okay, enough. I get it. I was stupid.” She pauses on the ladder. “Very stupid.” She turns her face just far enough to regard you with one eye over her shoulder. You sigh. “I'm sorry I didn't take the warning. I'll listen to you next time, okay?”

She smiles at you - that tiny little half-smile - and climbs up to the dock. You watch that firm, well-muscled stern flexing - and snap your eyes down to Hate just as he snaps his down to yours. Both your hands burst from below to point at each other accusingly - then droop.

He hoists his eyebrows - lace!?

You shrug one shoulder. Who would've known?

He tilts his head to one side and nods - from this angle, I can see your point.

“What are you two doing?” Kitakami's voice asks from above. She's crouching next to Yamato, both of them studying you like tadpoles in a high school science class aquarium.

“Swimming,” Hate replies dourly as he lets Yamato finish dragging him out. “It's hot out.” You follow him up the weathered stainless steel rungs, flopping your uniform jacket sadly as you stream water onto the concrete. Arizona is buttoning her jacket over her waterlogged white blouse while Yamato does her best to look cute and innocent. She waits till you and Hate have managed to wring yourselves out a bit, then she tilts her head towards the gun bench with a suggestive smile.

“Right,” Hate says. “You're a bit late, but you came, so, here's my mayhem.” He points at the automatic shotgun on the table.

You squint at him. “We made an appointment?”

He hoists his eyebrows, looking mildly impressed. “Wow, you *were* drunk, skipper.”

“Oh. Right,” you mutter, rubbing your eyes. “When you were shitposting.”

“Speak for yourself,” Hate grumps. “Just let Arizona do all your posting for you next time, she uses your handle better than you do.”

Your head snaps 'round to look at Arizona, who's studiously studying something in the exact opposite direction. “Did you-”

“Anyway, here-” Hate says, handing you his weapon. You stagger as the full weight lands in your arms. “Have a gander.”

You raise the firearm to your shoulder, glancing down the -

- barrel -

You hold it out in front of you, eyes widening as you comprehend what's in your hands. The concentric sleeves of a built-up gun, the classic big-bore naval weapon, tapering from breech to lethal muzzle. The metal's sea-grey and weathered-looking, contrasting sharply with the modern-looking peep-sight salvaged from a rifle grenade launcher perched abaft the breech. It looks like Hate re-barreled an AR-10.

“Hate,” you say, a raspy sound entering your voice. “What did you do?”
>>
>>42747634

Ruined an AR-10.
Wasted a gun barrel.

>>42747691
That is a waste of a perfectly good and useful item.

>>42747684
Given that the 18.1 inch naval gun may be the single most recognizable naval weapon of the era - what is going to happen when that thing ends up on television and half the Japanese population sees a United States Marine running around with a miniature version of one? They're going to know that one of the two ships to carry them has returned ... and Goto's going to (justifiably) kill us for letting that particular superbattleship out of the bag ...

The weapon will let a human fire upon an Abyssal target with a degree of success.
>peep-sight
Apparently from less that 1km away.

While it will let that human damage and potentially kill an Abyssal (maybe a destroyer), how is it going to protect the human from return fire?

They can claim it's a test barrel machined just in case Yamato or Musashi comes back. And as a potential experiment in upgunning the Nagatos.
>>
>>42747797
What does this even do?
>>
>>42747722
It's an item that's cost use an entire DD and that's not even getting into the consequences of Hate's negligence.

This could have ended with people dead easily. We almost lost our heads due to this shit. This is something he could be shitcanned if he's lucky or courtmarshalled for at worse.

>>42747773
It's useless you can't engage with it at any useful range vs an Abyssal. You either fire at ranges you can't hit shit at or somehow get close enough to shoot without being shredded by main/secondary/aa fire.
>>
>>42747737
...seriously? I don't think so. Honestly, at a glance, would you be able to tell one of the 46cm/45s from a USN 16"/45 (or even 16"/50) just by looking at the tube, without seeing anything it's attached to, if you didn't have a scale reference?

The Japanese public would see it, some would realize that Hate had mated a battleshipgirl's gun to an AR lower, and they'd assume he got it from some US battleship girl. Even the hardcore otaku wouldn't be able to tell one 45-caliber-long barrel from another when they're scaled down as much as they are...
>>
>>42747829
It's basically a sound suppressor.
>>
>>42747829
Isn't it an artillery suppressor?

Not mass reproducible - We can only get it from Yamato because we are not going to send her into fights.

>>42747829
It measure velocity of the shell leaving the barrel.
>>
>>42747784
>The human have to be a sniper.
Not really feasible in the ocean.

And this thing has no flash suppressor so at night the entire area is going to be saturated by return artillery fire. Not good odds on make it out alive.

>>42747789
Good for one ship, but the battle it was designed for is an amphibious assault against Iwo Jima. Where we'd presumably be fighting not just human-size Abyssals but also their version of fairies.

>>42747814
Being a small human target is not necessarily an advantage when the entire mountain you fired from can be saturated with artillery bombardment.
>>
>>42747863
A larger shroud
>>
>>42747867
Then you may as well just leave it on Yamato and have the USN pay for the supplies to deploy her.
>>
>>42747878
Abyssal fairies? Is that even a thing?

>>42747863
Can you distinguish the impact of a 16" shell compared to an 18.1" one?

Yeah, this is primarily useful for battle with land-based Abyssals

Hate hooks his thumbs in his belt, leans back and unsheathes the most terrifying thing any Marine ever can - a smug, smug smile. “Well, shucks, Skipper, I just took a hand-me down cast-off from the Navy and made a useful weapon out of it.” He dusts off his sopping-wet sleeve. “In keeping with Marine tradition. Next step is...” he searches the air, then snaps his fingers. “Right! Using THAT to do what the Army, Navy and Failfarce says is absofuckinglutely impossible!”

You glance down at the weapon, now held at arms length like one might hold a large, dangerous snake up for the camera's appreciation.

You look back at Hate.

"Holy shit."

TIMBERFUCKER 6 is still on the drawing board. I can't find a blade strong enough to support a chain of that size moving that fast. I'll probably have to fab one up myself, but with all the shit these canoecunts keep bugging me for, i'll probably get around to it once I retire.

What people don't realize is that whatever hate hits with that, isn't going to be in any state to return fire unless it's Cruiser sized or heavier

As long as hate sticks to popping Abyssal destroyers and light cruisers he's fine.

Technically Settle picked her as the bodyguard and then told her to stand down at the exact moment when she should be useful.

Settle did his job but I think Arizona felt she nearly did not do her's.

Didn't we already establish the fact that kanmasu sized objects can be willed to and from their form at the owners discretion?

In terms of the shell with Arizona, I thought someone mentioned the theory of the whole "spirit energy", or simply energy, retaining in an object that slowly but surely dissipates.

Like radiation or a battery, You can power it up and give it invisible juju, but as its being used, it slowly but surely loses its capacity until it just can't maintain it.

In the case of Yamato and Hate's "Yamaboom", ("Yamaret" "Turmato"). He should be crushed under its weight for the same reason a outfitted shipgirl nearly weighs as much as her hull.

He can hold it, because Yamato made it so before handing it to him

not the right image but it could do

>>42748367
We don't really know. With the case of Oregon's shell, it remained miniaturized well after its owner was dead, but reverted soon after removal from Arizona. This suggests Arizona's own scaling field field was maintaining it.

On the other hand, Yamato gave Hate one of her guns and then left, and it presumably stayed miniaturized, suggesting she can maintain the effect outside of immediate proximity.

The only explanation i can offer, (and at this point we can dive deeper into this theory until the GM make something canon) but in terms of Arizona being carried off, she didn't have her outfit at the ready.

She was still the lovely iron maiden that we know and love, but say, lets say, she was carryable, because Settle is strong enough to carry enough metal to resemble a female human.

She didn't bring forth ALL her metal and weight, but just enough to resemble a human being.

The only person who should be dying from this is Hate and that's merely an ironic death since his criminal negligence is whats got us in this mess in the first place.

The corgi's chased Shigure all over the base repeatedly which means our superiors are goign to find out why we lost that DD and Hate is directly responsible for the PT's.

And when they find out the reason he wasn't doing his fucking job was because he was making a useless weapon? He'll be lucky if they just shitcan him into another dimension... very very lucky.

Hate may have the defense that he wasn't officially given command over the corgis.
He was ordered to provide force protection.

Which does bring up the question of whether the BDOC was contacted about the loose corgi's, and if Hate is officially attached to it or not.

Look man, I think the events of Wednesday's thread should make us take a more srsbsns approach to things myself, but that doesn't need we need to suddenly become Admiral Scowlyface and avoid all forms of actually being personable. Especially when dealing with people whose ability to work with us is based more on personal than professional considerations.

Hate is as much a friend as a subordinate, and maintaining that friendship is kind of important. Going in bitching and yelling at him for neglecting the corgis would be utterly counterproductive, particularly given that the whole precipitating factor for that in the first place was that we got in a fight with him and that got him in a foul mood.

We could probably stand to have more of a stick up our ass in the future than we have so far, but it doesn't need to be jammed quite that far up.

In the EOD truck, Arizona's weight decreased after we removed the shell from her, and by the time we reached the disposal guys she was about back to her (human) weight.

>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.

>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.

We've also seen both Abyssals and shipgirls change form when people get close to them, so their state is determined at least partly by how closely in contact they are with 'ship' things.

Hate smirks, still smugging like a canary-fed cat. "Wasn't fucking easy, I tell you. First I had to fit a separate projectile and bagged powder charges into one shotgun shell, which was a bitch and a half - the bagged charges are too narrow and too long to all fit in a stack, so I had to spread them out around the center a bit and add filler to keep them there. Then I had to cut down the shot cups as much as possible; no stem, just the wadding. Then I had to surround all of THAT with 3D printed sabots - that took a few fucking hours to work out, right there." He shakes his head, muttering something about insulated gloves and crossed wires. "And that was all to get Yamato's ammo to fit-"

Your attention snaps to Yamato, who titters guiltily, but stands her ground. "My guns couldn't really be re-lined, so... they just built spare barrels entire. It was cheaper that way."

"Which means I had to fabricate my own breech-block," Hate grouses. "Not that it matters, anyway - a welsh screw or whatever wouldn't work with these custom sabots. Anyfuck, I based this on a Rhino arms AR-10 shotgun mod, so once I got her ammo into shells the rest was just getting the barrel on the gun."

"For a few hours all I could hear was screams, swearing and..." Yamato's voice trails off. "He got kind of hoarse at the end, but I think he was screaming 'headspacing'."

"Yeah," Hate grumps. "Maybe. Just possibly. But get this - it fucking *works.*"

You suck in a deep breath and let it out very slowly, turning the gun and its implications over and over in your hand. "This... this is some pretty nice work," you admit. "I thought you just ordered custom uppers and played 'will it launch' with a shotgun press."

"Yeah, well, you're an officer," Hate says charitably. "You're even housetrained. Don't be too hard on yourself."

I seriously doubt anybody will get "canned" over this. The reasoning that put Settle and Hate herre says that it's counterproductive to remove them for anything but the most blatant incompetence, since there's no yardstick to measure competence by in the first place, and also the person who replaces him is just as likely to bite it.

I guess that's what I mean, a shell is meant to be heavy as fuck for Kinetic Energy is love.

maybe with Arizona bleeding out, she kept losing her mojo or somethign, I don't know.

I'm just assuming that as her strength weakens, her ability to manifest goes with it, so she in thoery(practice) gets lighter and lighter.

I don't think abyssmals and shipgirls have to change from proximity, but again the whole "I wanna be big" *Poof* 300 meter long thingy of metal and death.

You turn the gun and its implications over and over in your hands, weighing the implications. You take a deep breath and prepare for the plunge - you wish you could put off this conversation, but you can't.
“I'm glad you managed this, Hate - this is a proof-of-concept for a shitload of ideas they've been kicking around but were too afraid to try. With abyssals on Iwo-” you pinch the bridge of your nose and sigh - you don't have to say any more than that. People are going to panic - they might be panicking already. Abyssals on land has been the darkest unspoken dread since the war began. You meet his eyes and try to find some firmness to project your message. “But unless you can get fifteen-inch belt armor into a plate carrier, going head-to-head with those things is suicide. And I *need* you, Hate, more than you know-”

You and Hate both glance sidelong at Yamato, who's are mooning at you like she's watching the confession scene in a rom-com. She twirls away, hiding beneath her padoga-styled parasol as Kitakami scans a confused look over all of you, aware that something's going on, but not quite parsing it.

“I knew you'd say that,” Hate cuts you off. “Knew it was coming. So here's the deal. You need to be at least This Tall to get your testicles back around here, right? No 18 inchers, no belt armor, no service? Well I'm sans belt, but SHE isn't.” He jerks his thumb over his shoulder at Yamato. “She traded me the gun for a promise - get her into the fight. And I keep my promises.”

You squint at him. “What are you driving at, Hate?”

“Kiss Goto's ass. Call our Holy Nation. Work your Annapolis asshole network. Do your... your officer thing,” he says, waving at you like he's wafting a Jedi Mind Trick your way. “And I'll go back to being a good little dogsitter bitch.”

You squint. “And if I don't?”

“I'll get a transfer,” he promises you. “I've got a few friends of my own, and the Corps *always* has a bone to pick with the Navy department. I'll get out of here with my new toy - I'll just build another gun if you confiscate that one - and when a US Marine holding a scavenged IJN shipgirl rifle shows up-”

You grimace, the headlines flashing through your head - AMERICAN DEVILS BUTCHER FLOWER OF IJN PRIDE TO BUILD COWBOY BABYKILLER SALTRIFFLES.

“-way you get to pick the time and place to expose her,” Hate is finishing. “It's worth it, skipper.”

Not that anion, but the thing is that taking the more serious route doesn't actually mean anything since we're stuck basically on planefag's whims. Like at the doughnut shop. We spent two votes trying to disentangle ourselves from Shoukaku and interact with Shigure, but he decided that those votes didn't matter while the one directly preceding them did.

On the Hate thing: we didn't talk to hate for 48 hours in game time. Think back to the last time you and a friend had a big argument. It probably took a lot longer than that for you both to get over your shit and hug it out. And then it apparently came down in irc that Settle is categorically wrong and ignoring what appeared to be Hate's childish attempt to annoy us led to all our bad options and misery.

It's kind of disappointing.

Anon voted to abide (i.e. not get involved with Shigure) at the end of the prior sessions thread, so I abides by that vote. I didn't just throw it into thin air. But I did have to write the following events naturally and give anon things to vote on to influence events this way or that. But the decision to stand off and observe a bit had already been made.

We were going to try to get Yamato for the Iwo Jima landings anyway, but I'm really finding it hard to stomach Hate.

He's blackmailing us for something that we would have done anyway if we had been asked, constantly gets on our case for protecting ships that are war assets and simply more valuable than a given human life, and he completely ignores his own mistakes.

And now we have let him get his smugness on and ignore everything he's done wrong, but in fact reward him for it, so he looks good in front of his girlfriend.

I'm done with Hate this is beyond unbelivable. He's fucked up so much to make this stupid gun it's not even funny and now he blackmail's us into putting his shitty weapon into action? Against Abyssal's that can hit a warship ranges vs a gun that you can't hit the broadside of a battle ship with from 1km away??? No this is beyond forgiveness.

You send in ground troops they will get slaughterd and this shitty weapon won't do dick even if it can hit a 1km target because Abyssal have longer range and they can take hit's while our troops can't.

We approve this gun and we are responcible for every soldier who dies because he didn't have 15inches of armor when he picked a fight with an Abyssal.

This sounds like the best compromise. Hate is an officer but he hates being an officer, so making him do officer stuff by managing the furor that is bound to break out when Yamato sorties is the best way to punish him productively. He will HAVE to do a good job as an officer because he owes Yamato that promise.

I don't know just what our options may be for keeping the nationalist camp in line, but I'm sure if we find the right strings to pull (and we gotta have at least a few connections to start with, given Naka's idol job) we can get a suitable media propaganda campaign going to keep shit sane. And if the media in Japan is anything like the US media, they shouldn't be too hard to convince to lend their aid to that cause.

This. I know it's bizarre coming from a traditional forum with individual registered accounts (it was for me, too) but an imageboard defaults to complete anonymity. The name/trip feature is only pseudoregistration and intended for threads where posters have a good reason to identify themselves, to separate themselves from people who might impersonate them for giggles or whatever. If you're identifying yourself for no reason it's considered attention-whoring - drawing attention to yourself as a unique personality/poster on a site which operates on the basis of default anonymity.

That's one reason for the "Fag" acronym - if you use a tripcode you're a gigantic faggot, so you best acknowledge that. The second reason is that when the site became popular and 13 year old retards invaded /b/ and destroyed it forever they called everyone "fag" because they were 13 year old retards. Anonymous took offense to that, for on 4chan everyone is equal. If anyone's a faggot, then they're ALL faggots.

Hence the "fag" suffix - it is a lowest common denominator. As one of my friends put it, when you see the term "gayfag" being used unironically you know a paradigm shift has occurred. Hence my annoyance with SV/SB bitching about my username - it's born of a culture of egalitarianism, a culture that believes your name, identity, skin color, creed and/or waifu have no bearing on the quality of your posts or the worth of your arguments. 4chan might seem like the wild west to you now, but you'll soon look back at the constant fucking cliques, cults and circle-jerks on every forum you've ever known with a deep and bitter disdain.

Welcome to 4chan, btw.

A point of grammar:

"Observe" and "abide" are not synonyms. Observing means that the players wanted more information before getting involved. After getting that information, they tried to get involved and you decided that "that" decision meant nothing.

Speaking of which… Where the hell are the Abyssals getting carriers?

There are a hell of a lot more battleships on the bottom than carriers ... I for one do not look forward to running into the entire Russian Baltic Fleet the died in ignominy at Tsushima without some more battleships of our own.

It won't get that bad. Probably some protests and riots. But Japan, unless this war starts to really squeeze the citizens hard, doesn't have the stomach to assassinate politicians like it used to anymore.

But if it does spill into open civil war, at least we'll be able to tell Hate and Yamato that this was the future they chose.

Considering that the corgis he was supposed to be watching mauled a destroyer to the point that she had a mental breakdown and attempted to kill someone, Hate can take that gun and shove it up his ass.
>>
I actually like the idea of Yamato taking part in close combat operations. Covert ops might even be the best way to go; government(s) get to keep their super secret weapon out of the limelight, and Yamato can clear house.

The only problems I have with that (and that I hope are reasonably addressed) are

- resource consumption while in shipgirl form; hopefully it won't be as high as if she actually sortied out to sea, but I'm crossing my fingers

- injury recovery; same story as resource consumption

- attitude mismatch; I don't know if Yamato has the "preferred" personality of an individual valued in combat ops. Might be hell to retrain her in that role

I really want to just send Hate to Iwo and just let him have the fucking death he wants, or at least send him to court marshal. But, we can't do that.

This could work. If we send Yamato to help retake Iwo, we could just say it was in the interest of self-defense as Iwo Jima is a territory of Japan. Any moron trying to block this effort would have no fangs as the Japanese Constitution doesn't bar the use of military equipment for the purpose of self-defense. This way, we get the largest example of naval gunnery firing in anger WITHOUT the political BS.

Also, put Hate on "Dealing with the angry emails concerning hotel" duty. This is his idea.

If you give implicit support for his insubordination by giving in, can you really deal with it?
Because there'll be another crisis, and planefag and the Hate-poster will point that Hate could deal with it effectively, and we'll be forced to choose again whether to give Hate whatever he wants or deal with the problem ourselves.

Personally I don't think we'll ever get a chance to deal with his blatant insubordination, because he'll wield his usefulness against us, as well as whatever blackmail he accrues.

It's a terrible concept it relies on human eyes for aiming so noone is going to hit fuck all with it because 1km shots don't happen outside of golden BB's unless ye be a top tier marksman and even if every marine had that they'd still die because Abyssals engage at warship ranges which are alot longer than 1km.

Also the gun doesn't come with the shipgirl armor needed to survive fighting Abyssal's

Gentlemen! I just came back from a showing of Madam Butterfly by Puccini.

I don't think any of the USN Carriers and most of the RN carriers are eligible. They went down fighting and doing their job. Abyssals are normally ships that were scrapped having never done fucking anything, or were forgotten completely from history.

Then why are they following you?

I mean, you’re a Marine. As Navy, they should have no respect for you, as PT-boats they should have no respect for anyone, and as corgis they should only have respect for Queen Elizabeth.

And yet, they listen to you.

Seems like you got picked to command them, Lieutenant.

>>42749425
Sure, but a lot of those were modern and so far the Abyssals have been mostly predreadnaughts with the leveling effect.

Also, I would hope that a decent portion of that list wouldn't go Abyssal. I mean, fucking Yorktown, hero of Midway? If Akagi can back as a shipgirl after getting stomped at that same battle, it would be a little weird if Yorktown went to the dark side.

Finally, there are still a hell of a lot more battleships on the bottom, especially pre-dreadnaught battleships. Do you know what I'm the most afraid of? The entire German high seas fleet scuttled at Scapa flow deciding to go abyssal! That would blow.

>>SV/SB bitching about my username
SB has a rule against 'chan-behaviour', instituted after an invasion a while ago. When I started the transcription, a Mod raised 'concerns' to me about 'excessive channing' in the thread, including casual use of 'pejoratives' like 'fag'. I agreed to make some slight changes to avoid trouble and make life easier for everyone.

>>42749313
>SV, SB admin went 'eh he uses it for himself it's not like he's insulting anybody' and off it went.
Later on, another SB Mod publically said in the thread that he and his colleagues had talked it over, and they'd agreed that it was okay to call planefag 'planefag', because he chose the name himself etc.. I'm not going to go back through the thread to change all the old uses of 'demetrious', because fuck this is already a shitload of work, and using 'demetrious' when I manually insert his name is force of habit by now, but I'm not changing any uses by anyone else.

I hope that clears things up.

It does not matter whether they were formally under his command, he clearly had charge of them. That was his post. I'm not remotely in favor of going to court-martial route, but it needs to be acknowledged that if it went that route hate would be in a shit load of trouble.

Also, marine certainly don't get command of ships – but they can have command of boats - so there is precedent.
>>
>>42749670
That they're ships and thus the concept of land warfare probably isn't something they grasp yet?

Coastal defenses, they might get. But the intricacies of fighting to take and hold ground? They'll need to learn through experience, just like we humans did.
>>
>>42749665

I think unfinished carrier like Graf Zeppelin, Aquila, and Sparviero would be candidates.
>>
>>42749540

I am not their fucking boss AT FUCKING ALL. I'm in charge of making sure they don't starve to fucking death, that's it. Fuck's sake I can't even keep a solid headcount because the little fucks seem to just spawn at fucking random, I think we've got upwards of 40 now?

But I am not in their chain of fucking command. At all. Period. If I gave them an order, a good, sensible, reasonable fucking order, and they followed it, they'd be fucking wrong. Why the fuck they listen to me is anyone's fucking guess, but it does not, and never fucking will, mean I'm actually in legal command of the little fucks.

Is that fucking clear enough?
>>
>>42749670
Technically speaking?
They probably don't have enough bodies to do so effectively.
And they probably don't have enough equipment to do anything more than take cover in old bunkers
Also, they might not have the fighting spirit to effectively make use of positions.

Very well. In opinion, punishing Hate by the book will probably not work. He's 1) a Marine and 2) Hate. Throwing the book at him will result in him acting passive-aggressive at the very least. He has done this already i.e. the corgis ran down Shigure.

Now, what does he hate? A lot of things. But one of the things he LOATHES is actual officer work. He pretended to be a noncom to get out of that shit. (And Settle condoned him pretending to be a corporal.)

So to punish him, make him do the job he is supposed to do: Act like an officer. And to make sure he does a good job at it, hang the promise that he made to Yamato over his head like the Sword of Damocles. He doesn't give a shit towards most regs, but he keeps his promises.

There. That's my reasoning. It has faults the size of Yamato in it, but in my opinion it does well enough for government work. You're free to nitpick at my argument, but I've made my point and won't budge.

>>42749734
Lieutenant Hate. I expect you to fulfill your promise to serve as a proper officer if Yamato is allowed to sortie.

I have a cunning plan.

Let's name Hate liaison officer to Yamato. There's plenty of precedent (the RN has an officer on USS Winston S. Churchill) and we get to watch him suffer through the agony of simultaeously having something he wants (time with Yamato) and something he doesn't (officer duty, and dress-uniform-wearing liaison duty at that). Goto would buy in on that I think. Especially as that way Hate can be the spokesperson for the Yamato reactivation.

And, as a bonus, it will be part of his official duties to beat the shit out of any ultranationalists that start to cause problems.

>>42750087

Trying to punish Hate is pointless if the end result causes us more trouble and gets in the way of a viable modus vivendi. And it has already been established that, legally speaking, we don't have a leg to stand on to punish him. He was not in command of the Corgis, and by his account they were all locked up when he left them. We'd have to show he either deliberately let them out or displayed incredible negligence in carrying out Settle's order to have any kind of case.

What we need to do is to make sure that Hate understands when the Admiral is speaking, and that he will behave like a professional when needed. We see he cannot actually be given responsibility for the Corgis, which means we have a very pressing need to get someone out here who can command them along with a team to help the poor bastard control them. In the meantime we can swallow some bile if Hate will resume looking after the Corgis and help us clean up this mess.

And not using Yamato is kind of stupid anyway. The ultranationalists are a tiny, unimportant fringe of the Japanese electorate. Remember that the JGSDF soldiers stood around and mocked Mishima before his suicide, and that was the last time anyone even remotely suggested a coup to restore the glorious Empire. And the reintroduction of Yamato to Japan can certainly be carefully stage-managed for maximum propaganda effect with a stress on how solid the alliance with the US have proven and her own account of why she fights which can reference her remorse and shame at all the wartime atrocities. Yamato is in fact a very potent weapon to discredit ultranationalist sentiment by having her make it clear she doesn't want to be associated with them in the slightest and that she is fighting to defend the post-war order and the modern constitution.

>>42750335

Well, it's... complicated. At the very least, he needs a good Ninja Punching because lol UCMJ:
Article X
Subsection 889 Disrespect toward superior commissioned officer
Subsection 890 Assaulting or willfully disobeying superior commissioned officer
Subsection 908 Military property of United States – Loss, damage, destruction, or wrongful disposition
§ 909 Property other than military property of United States – waste, spoilage, or destruction
§ 927 Extortion
§ 933 Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman

His idea for getting Yamapotato back into action is a good one. His development of his 'wtf'gun is good. But his methodology and rather blatant disregard for the command structure needs to be dealt with.

Even a fucking 0311 should understand that the chain of command is there for a reason. What would happen if he got Yamato back into action without some kind military support base (for dealing with the ultranationalists and the inevitable media shitstorm)? What would happen if his pet project literally blew up in his face?

The suggestion that he become the NAVY liaison is a good 'long-term' punishment. But short term? He should have to go meet with Shigure and realize just what's up.

But that's all just my opinion. Take it for what it is.

>>
>>42750351

SETTLE CANNOT PUNISH HATE.

I mean in the most literal sense. The UCMJ cannot be applied against him because he acted fully within the letter of the law. And all the petty bullshit of "hurr hurr muh revengeance" needs to bow to reality. And the reality is that the corgis were never officially Hate's responsibility and so he cannot be guilty of any dereliction of duty in regard to them. Pursuing the vendetta rather than making a compromise, even one that entails giving Hate what he wants, is a childish temper-tantrum.

If you're worried about him doing this again, then carefully establish what his duties actually are, and make sure they exist within the legal chain of command. Make it clear to Hate that Settle is a professional, that his insinuations about 'skirt-chasing' are completely unwarranted, and that when The Admiral speaks he will damned well follow (carefully established and completely legal) orders. And if he can't do that then he will be transferred to some other billet ASAP.

But fundamentally this was our fuckup because we assumed he had a legal authority over the Corgis when he did not. That means that Settle is legally at fault for whatever they do, so we should have addressed their unruliness a lot earlier rather than encouraging it. Oops, oh well, we can do something about it now.

Sometimes you just have to accept the consequences of your mistakes and not lash out even at the smug asshole who exploited those mistakes.
>>
>>42750488
I would, but the office of personnel management lost my security clearance file and I'm not allowed to actually do anything official until they make sure I haven't been compromised by the Chinese.

Thank you, Navyfag. That was really enlightening.

We just need to get him near enough to see Shigure's wounds. We don't have to force Hate to talk to her. He's smart; he'll figure it out. He did figure out Willie Dee's issues.

Funnily enough? Those dogs doing that sorta thing is the very definition of hate not doing his job.

If you are assigned to take care of something, that includes making sure it stays out of trouble. So letting those corgis loose to chase shigure around?
He's bloody lucky that no one else saw and reported it.
>>
>>42750539
Settle has ultimate responsibility to be sure, but he is a flag officer on detached service under the direct authority of the chief of Naval operations, that means he can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants as long as God doesn't contradict him later. Which he won't, if it works.

Besides which, what exactly is hate going to do – appeal the decision? Given that his statement would have to begin "right after I struck my superior officer…" I sincerely doubt he's going to as long as we aren't completely unreasonable

What I meant is that Settle shows Hate what the corgis did to Shigure i.e. the wounds on her feet. Nowhere did I argue that there be direct interaction between them.

If he disobeys a LEGAL ORDER, /then/ you can hit him with the UCMJ. We literally cannot do that in regard to the Corgis because he was not in their chain of command. He may also be significantly better disposed to act professionally if he sees Settle also acting professionally.

And I really doubt we want a court martial because there's a lot about the relationship between Hate and Settle that will not stand up to that kind of scrutiny. Settle's actions have been erratic and questionable, up to and including allowing Hate to be a close friend. A competent lawyer would have a field day in the trial if we decide to throw together some charges based on "disrespect" or so on simply to retaliate about the Corgis; it might not save Hate but it'll be very much Settle slitting his own throat.

I disagree with having Hate visit Shigure.
As good as it is for punishing Hate (though debatable given his recent behavior and his reputation as an asshole), it will do Shigure no favors to talk with him or even see him.

Hate is known around the base as "that Yankee in charge of the dogs", and you want to bring him to a victim of those dogs?
First for being American, and second for being the man in charge, whether officially or not, of the things that have been making her life even more of an unbearable hell and that finally ripped into her foot and tried to maul her face and vitals, these two things make me think taking Hate to Shigure is a bad idea.

So far as I'm aware, yes. Hate might have some nebulous orders, but AFAIK he's assigned to work FOR the admiral. Not in the general area.

You glare at Hate as your blood pressure boils towards bursting. “Are you fucking blackmailing me, *Lieutenant?*”

Hate steps closer to you, his eyes iron, body tense. “Yeah. No shit, Sherlock.”

“Who the FUCK do you think you are?” you snarl at Hate, close enough that your breath ruffles his bangs. Something's rising from within, climbing like magma surging towards a volcano's summit and you suddenly find yourself incapable of arresting it. “Are you out of your FUCKING mind? FUCK YOU!” You slam your palms into him -

- and bury your hands in his jacket as his instinctive blows slam into your tightened stomach, the sides of your head, under your jaw, expert little hook-punches of the kind that work at close range. Your chin tucks down in time to stop a sharp jab directed at your throat, and just as he tries to hook his fingertips in your nostrils to peel you away, you rear your head back to slip his grasp, then SNAP your skull forward into his.

Now, if we ever get to dealing with the Corgis, I got some ideas, but mainly, we cannot let them become an uncontrolled pack. Keep them in smaller controllable squadrons, and keep an iron-chain leash when off duty.
>>
>>42750725
Again i don't mind him not having the book thrown at him but we CANNOT trust him anymore he's proven that.

You don't give him positions of authority. you don't turn the other cheek and ignore this because the way he's acting SOMEONE is gonna end up DEAD and odd's are when that happens if he's still under us we'll be on the chopping block with him.

Headbutts are incredibly simple - strike the weak part of their skull with the strong part of yours - and thankfully, your skull is thicker than most. You know Hate thinks you're a pencil-pushing pussy bitch, and considering he's a trained combat soldier he's not all wrong. But you're also an Annapolis grad, and a military academy is more than four more years of Basic with prisser DIs. The windows on the second floor of the Air Force Academy do not open - as expected of a place where upper classmen would confiscate your mess tray if you chewed more than three times before swallowing. West Point's annual pillow fight - supposed to be a safe stress reliever - made headlines a few years back when disgruntled cadets loaded their pillowcases with bricks. Annapolis was no exception, and between your scores and your family lineage, you never lingered in stairwells. A few of the fuckers who *did* ended up lingering longer than they'd expected to after they crossed you. You're no kung-fu master, but you know how to use what you've got - and that's bulk and endurance.

Hate staggers away as you release him and unleashes a haymaker right. You hunker as it comes in, the blow glancing off your shoulder, but what connects is still enough to twist your neck a little and send stars cascading through your vision. Something moves in the corner of your eye and you shove a palm out - “FREEZE BOATBITCH!”

It's a secure base, as long as the press didn't get wind of it we can NJP our way out of it. If we can impress upon hate the severity of his fuck up, address our own fuck up ( which we've kind of already done through our exchange with Arizona earlier), and get the worlds largest battleship in the fight – then this will be a win.

I really want to save Shiguire ( i've dealt with my share of PTSD cases, and really want to help her), and I think we can get it done, but we need Hate and Yamato unfucked too.

Hate comes up in a fighting stance again - and pauses, seeing you standing open and unprotected.

“COME ON!” you snarl, thumping your chest. “COME ON, ASSHOLE. THAT ALL YOU GOT?”

Hate lets his fists drop - a bit. He's breathing fast and light, light on his feet, limbs thrumming with nervous energy begging for release - assaulting him's a combination of kicking a hornet's nest and waving something fluffy in front of a cat. But real fighting doesn't involve a lesser opponent offering no real defense. Frustration sizzles in you as his wrath oozes away, and some part of you is screaming to take another swing at him, to stroke the fire for a few more seconds.

You quell that voice in favor of your own. “That's it?”

Hate lowers his hands - he can tell you want him to keep swinging. “Fuck you.” He shoves past you and goes to collect his range bag, but you block him with your arm. He seizes it in a crushing grip and for a second you think he's gonna explode again, but he reins himself in with a visible effort.

“I'll do it.”

He stares at you uncomprehendingly.

“Keeping a battle-wagon like Yamato cooling her heels in the dugout is fucking stupid,” you say bluntly. “There's a lot of political horseshit behind that, but like Kitakami reminded me, there's a goddamned war on. We just can't afford to fuck around anymore.”
Hate flings your arm down, unbroken and intact. “What the fuck is your game?”

“YOUR game, motherfucker,” you snarl, poking him in the chest. “You asked for it, you got it - this is your project now. They sent someone to threaten Naka - threaten our people - and if what I saw earlier is any indication that class of assholes are only getting pushier. And there's a war on. I'll handle the pencil-pushing PR dildo shit and you'll handle the sneaky-breeki shoot and loot shit, which is your fucking job now, per my orders. OH. AR. DEE. EE. AR. ESS. ORDERS. Those things you follow like a good Marine.”

Hate blinks. “Skipper? What the fuck are you babbling about?”

“In the language of your knuckle-dragging tribe, we're going to Watergate some motherfuckers and you're going to find Deep Throat and TTS the asshole.”

Hate has the wary expression of someone hovering on the edge of full comprehension. “Which assholes, now?”

“The ones in HER way,” you state, jabbing your finger at Yamato. She blinks and touches her chest nervously. “Yes, you. I'll float it to Goto, put your name up as a good field agent, and when it gets a valuable combat asset into the field without political fallout I'll take the credit like your idea never happened.”

He snorts. “Transformation complete, skipper. You're officially a FRF.”

“Yeah. Us Flag-Rank-Fuckers can remake reality like that. For instance, you never tried to blackmail me-”

“I fucking HIT y-”

“Arizona!” you snap, whipping your hand up to point at her. “Did I fall out of a tree today?”

She squints and strokes her chin, clearly unsure if riding a felled tree to earth qualifies - and decides yes, with a nod.

“See? It's great.” You wave your hand at Hate's face. “Your cigs are now mine,” you intone, ending your circling motion by plucking a neglected pack out of his chest pocket. Knocking the small lighter out of it, you fire up a Newport 100 - menthols, typical of the occasional smoker like Hate - and suck the smoke into your mouth, enjoying the nicotine tingle. The cigarette is quivering in your hand.

You hear Hate asking the girls to start the boat and wait for you. A moment later you feel his presence behind you.

“Skipper?”

“Uh.”

“What the fuck is up with you?”

You sigh out some smoke. “Four or five of the corgis went after Shigure a half-hour ago. Got a few bites into her.”

“SHIT,” Hate snarls. “How the fuck did they get out of the kennel?”

“That's not the real problem,” you continue. “Shigure fucking snapped. Climbed a tree like a black bear and threatened to ventilate any damnyankee that went up there after her.”

“... and you-”

“Yeah yeah yeah,” you mutter, waving at him irritably.

“So you were apologizing to Arizona for being a complete fuckhead?”

“Nice try, but I'm still not court-martialing you. The problem came when Shigure tried to kill herself.”

*That* finally shuts him up for a few seconds. “Jesus Christ,” he mutters at length. You hear him begin pacing behind you. “Well, I told you those fucking dogs weren't easy to handle.”

“You did.”

“And they keep multiplying - we started with thirty, I think we've got forty-five, now. There's no big dramatic ceremony when they manifest again, they just pop up like web ads. I've secured every single one I know about but you still see some of 'em fucking about on their own - your damned pet intel monkey's made one a pet, even.” He slaps his fist into his palm. “Dammit. Dammit. Dammit all to hell.”

“They're still loose. I need you to help me wrangle them.”

“Yeah,” he says with a sigh. “You do. Lemme roll this shit up and we'll get going.”

Kitakami studies you both curiously as you slide into the boat - you with your stolen cigarette and Hate with his bag and range-mat rolled around his new rifle, both of you soaking wet and breathing heavily from your scuffle. She peers at you, then at Hate, cogs slowly turning in her head. She slowly raises one finger in a subdued “eureka” gesture.

“Yaoi, right?”
>>
>>42750900

No, but I think it is clear, if Hate ever, ever steps out of line, one more time. All that is coming out. And the might USMC may not be able to save Hate if that happened.
>>
>>42750913
You are narrow minded as fuck negro.

Yamato literally bursts into laughter, her giggles overwhelming the dam of her mouth and draining her of air till she's slumping against a bewildered Arizona, damn near dying of laughter.

“I don't get it,” you and Hate say together in the same flat tone, but that just sets her off again. Kitakami just reclines in the back with the air of the vindicated scholar.

The party is in full swing by the the time you swing back into the docks, the huge bulk of the carrier reflecting the bright growl of the outboard motor. You scuttle up the ladder first to avoid any more skirt shenanigans, and scan the crowd of shipgirls and boys now present. The party seems to have expanded quite a bit - most everyone's back by now, it seems. The badly damaged ships are absent, of course, having been wheeled to Crab's shack or the hospital pronto, but Hamp's still there, chatting casually with a half-dozen mooning shipgirls, and Harder's standing to one side, already wearing a gigantic straw hat and sunglasses as he sips out of a crazy straw.

“Where the fuck does he get all this shit?” you mutter.

“Who do you think?” Hate grumps, climbing the ladder behind you. “The same asshole who sent me a crate of shutter shades for giveaway safety glasses at the range.” He scans the party and sighs. “So where the hell do we start?”

[ ] We call Goto - the press conference should be over by now and we really should bring him into the loop on this.
[ ] We secure additional scouting assets - any cruiser with a floatplane over there's gonna lend us their fairy-eyes.

Most of them weren't scrapped. The ones that were still Stateside were retained and eventually sold off to the private sector after being demilitarized. The ones in the South Pacific? They were felt to be not worth the effort to return to the States, so they were stripped of all valuable equimpent and just *burned* on the beaches. Wooden hulls, remember...

Of those, 32 were lost via accident, friendly fire or weather.
27 of the remainder were scuttled by their crew to prevent capture, leaving exactly 40 sunk by the Japanese.

____________________________________
My Fellow Americans:

Today, our country wakes up to another sobering morning, as we continue to count the costs of the recent attacks that have been going on for the past few days. All across America, vital ports, coastal towns and cities, and important sea routes continue to fall under constant and determined attack. The losses have been mounting, in both men and materiel. Our citizens, however, have borne the brunt of these assaults. Residences blown to pieces, vehicles of all shapes and sizes thrown about like discarded gloves, and friends and family lying motionless in the streets, shorelines, and waters and with no signs of life. The lives of countless fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, relatives, co-workers, neighbors—peace-loving, hard-working Americans—extinguished by relentless strikes on our soil.


The situation elsewhere in the world is not positive either. Along the coastlines of our neighbors in the North and South, civilian centers and commercial facilities alike continue to sustain withering fire from this hostile force of unknown origin. From the Horn of Africa to the cliffs of Nordkapp, fighting men and women stand fast in dogged defense of the citizens fleeing the carnage. Across the Pacific, the offensives are as strong as ever, and a dark wave advances across the islands. Even in the narrow river deltas of the Mekong and the Yangtze, sinister beings lay waste to the people and the infrastructure alike, letting none stand in their warpath. One by one our outposts and those of our allies in the Far East fall silent, and we are compelled to assume the worst.


‘Just what are we fighting against here?’ you might ask. What is their purpose? Do they seek only to destroy, or do they have a deeper, more malevolent reason? Why have they turned the entire world into an enemy?
>>

I was referring to your style of posting, not your idea.
Speaking to your idea though, it's dumb.
The pilot is gone, the plane itself is shot up, and there's basically no way she would know how to operate it or launch it even if it was working.

We do not really know much about these abominations. To many of us who only see them on the news, they are, quite simply, monsters—otherworldly beings made of both twisted metal and dark flesh, who jumped out of our worst nightmares to terrorize us all. To those who have faced them first-hand and have somehow survived, they’re simply known as Abyssals—monsters who sprung from the deep to lay waste to everything in their way. They are tough-as-nails, as far as monsters go, and they can sling as much firepower as our most powerful weapons, perhaps more. They come in all shapes and sizes; some appear like ships from as far back as the age of ironclads, others, as close as the Korean War, and still others look like women that have been fused to hulls by some ungodly process of assimilation.


Perhaps you are wondering that the twilight of our civilization is at hand. After all, these Abyssals have tremendous power amongst themselves; they continue to push our forces aside with little effort, and it seems that if they continue to advance, all will be lost.


To all that I say: Utter Nonsense.


I did not face you today, my fellow Americans, to ring the death knells of our country and people. I did not bring you grim news of our continued defeat as a sign of my loss of faith. In fact, I am compelled to believe in the opposite. I am compelled to believe that we have a fighting chance. I am compelled to believe that, in the end, we can achieve ultimate victory.

>>42751428
It is true that the Abyssal menace has managed to ruin our infrastructure, both civil and military, and have even succeeded in blocking off many of our crucial sea trade routes. Yet, even in the face of their non-stop assault, they have failed to crush our country’s fighting spirit. Even now our fighting forces continue to resist these monsters, and even in the face of some devastating losses, there have been reversals that continue to boost morale. The pivotal Battle of Los Angeles is still fresh in the minds of many, and it has proven that the enemy can be wounded; the enemy can be killed. Montreal suffered a most devastating assault along its harbor, but the dogged determination of its defenders pushed the enemy back into the sea. The United Kingdom is isolated again as it was back in the Second World War, but the valiant spirit of the British continue to stand fast against the eldritch threat. The people of the world are still standing, still fighting, still unwilling to throw in the towel.


I commend every man, woman, and child across all states, who continue to stand resolute in these dark times. Your unwavering faith in our troops and in one another is a shining testament to our time-tested resilience as a nation. Your unbroken resolve continues to drive our fighting forces to stand up against the enemy on all fronts. Never forget that you are as much a part of this fight as they are, and that your continued support is a vital contribution to those on the frontlines. Never forget, too, that in this dark hour of humanity, we are not standing alone.

I really think it's a better idea if we keep Yamato with us. If we send her with hate and there is some sort of public display with the corgis, that will be a problem. We really need to send some destroyers, after all 'torpedo boat destroyers' is kind of what we need at the moment.

I suggest we send a scouting flotilla led by Hamp (whi has his head screwed on straight), with the aviation cruisers, and a strong screen of the more steady destroyers (meaning no Sammy ...), along with Hate.

Meanwhile, we take Arizona and Yamato to see Goto. Kongou's still on the loose so let's call her, she'll know where Goto is ... and we can setup a meeting out of the public eye. We need to give Yamato a chance to stand up for herself and say that she wants to fight. We'd be disrespecting her by asking Goto to put her in the field without her present.

I have here footage from around the world, taken during the crucial early hours of the Abyssal attacks. When it seemed that the monsters would completely overrun a city, from out of nowhere would come a reprisal, a force determined to fight back. They appeared in London, they appeared in Montreal, they appeared in Tokyo. Clad in guns, torpedoes and armor, they stood up and turned the tables on the Abyssals just when all seemed lost.

We do not know what they really are; all we know is that they claim to be the ships of their country’s navies, who have come back to fight once more in defense of their homes. We do not know how many have ‘come back’, or if more of them are coming back. All we know is that they did come back, and they chose to fight alongside humanity. By the grace of some higher force or being, these ‘hulls’ have awakened from their slumber and have given us a fighting chance against the Abyssal menace.


We have yet to have any of the… ‘ship spirits’ of our own navy to ‘manifest’. Yet this should not deter us; instead it should drive us to strive even more, in defending our country and assisting our allies in this time of peril. We shall remain steadfast in our duties, facing the enemy wherever they may strike. If any of our ‘ships’ do return, we shall welcome them with open arms, but for now, we must hold strong and do whatever we can.

>>
>>42751487
Know this, my fellow Americans. Even as these Abyssals continue to batter our nation, continue to disrupt our peaceful way of life, continue to tear apart what we have spent centuries building up and protecting… We shall stand. We shall stand our ground, for our families, for our friends, for our country, for our neighboring nations, for the world. We shall not falter in the face of this dark calamity. We shall hold together, content in the belief that, in the not-too-distant future, we shall achieve victory. We shall hold the torch of courage aloft and use it to overcome the darkness from the deep. The heroes who gave their lives at Los Angeles, Montreal, Nordkapp, London and many other fronts have showed us that we can win. And so we shall.


Let this message be a warning to these vile Abyssals. Let them know that Humanity will not fall, will not falter, will not succumb to the darkness, no matter how powerful their forces may be. We shall not lift up our arms and willingly submit to these monsters. We shall march together and face them in defense of all that we stand for. To these Abyssals, I leave this message: Retreat, Hell! Humanity is ready to fight, and ready to win!


Thank you, good morning, God Bless America, and God Bless the World.

At Midway one of Tone's float planes was unable to launch because of mechanical problems
The other floatplane from Tone is the one that spotted the US carrier fleet, but failed to report this to the IJN carriers immediately, which caused a 30 minute delay in aircraft arming and is why the flight decks of the IJN carriers where crammed with aircraft when the US strike hit them.

If the floatplane had immediately reported sighting the US carrier force than Midway very well have gone differently.

>>42751669
The IJN carrier fleet getting hit with both land attack and antiship ordinance on the deck was the literal spark that started the midway debacle. Had they had sufficient warning to have gotten the arming completed, and The land attack munitions properly stowed – Midway might've ended very differently.

As stated, the delay in the launch of the number four floatplane - which just happened to be traveling down the vector at the Yorktown battle group was on – delayed the sitinf for 30 minutes, and lead to the problems noted above.

Just a quick question if you please.

In what order did the USN girls manifest?
I know Harder and Hamp have done so during the quest proper, but it was never stated what order the others arrived in.

>>42751640
Earlier he said that this was not a site that valued anonymity. Not this might happen or anything as in the present tense.
>>
>>42751813
Arizona came back like a week before we left for Japan, no clue which order the others came in. I think Hornet may have been the earliest, since Settle's first conversation he mentions her as a basis of eating habits.
>>
>>42751787
This may be a good time for 'we'll fight them on the beaches' ...
>>
>>42751813
Hornet was the first, returning a week or so after the initial attacks.

Sammy and Willie Dee came back sometime after, but we don't know when. We do know that Willie Dee came back at Honolulu.

Arizona came back about a week before the quest beginning, meaning she's been back for about two weeks now.

Harder appeared on our first day in Yokosuka, and Northampton on our seventh.

I believe Iowa was first.

I wanted Enterprise early on, but I'm glad we got Hornet. She needs to build her confidence before her sisters arrive. I would like to see Hornet, Wasp, Yotktown, Enterpise and Lady Lex team up with the Japenese carrier striking fleet. There would be some serious ass kicking there.

HateisFucked.jpg

Okay, I work for law enforcement in the US. So I have some knowledge and experience in these matters. Hate IS ACKNOWLEDGED as the care taker (however temporary) of the corgis. This is true. No one disagrees (not even himself) that he is the one feeding them and caring for them until their official commander arrives. The corgis escaped their pen. How is not important. Only the fact that they DID ESCAPE. They then mauled Shigure so severely that she became suicidal AND homicidal.

This is HATE's RESPONSIBILITY.

And here's why: You are a home owner. Your friend asks you to care for his dog while he goes on vacation. You agree. The dog escapes your home while you are at work (we'll charitably call Hate's Date With Yamato "work") and bites a neighborhood Fuck Trophy (also known as a "child"). Do the police or animal control say "oh well he's not the owner there is nothing we can do"? No. Hate gets a ticket and must appear in court. He may be liable for a lawsuit for the Fuck Trophy's injuries.

The fact that he was not the dog's owner (ie: commander) is irrelevant. He was acknowledged as being their caregiver when the incident happened. Whether malicious or not, incompetent or not, accidental or not, Hate is responsible.

He needs to be punished.

>>42752112

He's fucked if it goes that far. Chances are there's a lot of laws getting played with fast and loose with the whole Kanmusu thing.

I'd assume this is one of those matters that gets hushed up by all involved, particularly as it involves a shipgirl getting chronically bullied and attempting suicide.

He won't get in legal trouble. This'll just, at worst, go down in a mental black book somewhere.

Also, there's a strong possibility that the Corgi's that attacked Shigure were entirely new ones. Considering that they just turn up, there's a case to be made that these were ones Hate legitimately didn't know about, and had no responsibility over, implicit or otherwise. Sure, one corgi looks much like any other, but if they find that the REST, ie, the previously known ones were in fact properly locked up, then what happens here falls under the 'new shipnouns come back and start shit in the confusion' heading. Same way Kaga isn't getting reamed for that bus accident or smashing walls, etc, when she came back. It's just quietly waved away and discretely sorted out without the lawyers coming out.

>>42752112
Hate's "court date" was us having our pissing match with him and learning that he did not, in fact, maliciously or negligently let the corgis out.
Since the assumption that he did one of those things is what most of our dog-related ire was built on, that was basically the end of it.

>>42752221
The Japanese didn't arm their planes on-deck - ordnance loading was done in the hangar.
The IJN were trying to fend off constant air-attacks, and their A6Ms were constantly being recycled for fresh ammo and gas. There were no planes caught 'on the deck', because straight-deck carriers can't spot a strike while recovering and launching planes, and they didn't have TIME to spot a bomber-strike while having to keep landing and launching fresh CAP Zeroes again and again and again.

>Considering that they just turn up
This is a real problem that we need to put Hate on right the fuck away, as soon as the current crisis is handled.

Think of it: PT boats, fully armed and fueled, will spontaneously appear on the base, all raring to go and their last memory is of fighting IJN warships or sinking Japanese cargo haulers.

That, and that given they could manifest at night when they will have difficulty telling the difference between Japanese and American ships and attack either, means that Hate should have been preparing for this to eventually happen.
His stated orders were force protection; while he says he's taken steps for base security, he should have also taken steps to keep any PT's that appear (which he himself admitted happens) under close observation and supervision until they can be trusted not to shoot at our own people.
>>
>>42752177
Your point did not actually occur to me until about 2 minutes after I made my initial post. It is a point. If these were new corgis, then its just a case of "too bad for Shigure", but if they were Hate's animals... He should be fined or Something. She wants to kill herself. The animals were not the sole factor, but they clearly did not help the situation.
>>
>>42752455
Still, the fact that he did not fathom the Corgis to actually MULTIPLY at such a spontaneous rate should be considered.
>>
>>42752536
>the fact that he did not fathom the Corgis to actually MULTIPLY at such a spontaneous rate should be considered.
But he's the one who told us that the Corgi's spontaneously appear, and that they've been increasing in number.
In fact, he just reminded us that he knew about it in this very thread.

>>42750919
>And they keep multiplying - we started with thirty, I think we've got forty-five, now.

He only did not expect them to disobey a direct order from a flag officer, as well as actually going so far as to maul a person.
Whether this shows a lack of due diligence in his duty for providing force protection is debatable, and I think he would be let off with a warning at most.
But if he doesn't take measures against it starting now? That IS a lack of due diligence, and something that we need to be on top of.
>>
>>42752112
Yes, but these aren't just animals, they're goddamn PT boats.

No superior officer would face charges if a PT boat under their command decided to fuck off and shoot shit.

>>42752386
Michael Wilson; don't you love America?
>>
>>42752609
Yea, I don't think anybody could have expected them to straight-up ignore orders after their behavior up to that point.
Hell, Settle even managed to calm Sammy down while she was locked up.
Hate's attitude when he learned about Shigure makes me thing he's sincere about taking the little shits more seriously going forward, just like us
>>
>>42752455

I think you're really putting too much on a single person. Nobody can be expected to be everywhere on base at all times, and the number of corgi's is starting to just be too much. At some point we're gonna need to find someone else that can handle the little fucks,45 normal dogs on a regular person is already too many to keep track of, add in the fact they're hyperactive kill machines and that he has other duties on base besides dealing with them it's just not feasible to have a single dog handler anymore.
>>
>>42752609

As far as I could tell, they were considered to be annoying, hyperactive, but not actually that violent. This mauling of a shipgirl seems quite unprecedented, even after the constant exposure to Japanese shipgirls.

BURNING JUSTICE!
>>
>>42752651
>he has other duties on base besides dealing with them
His only duty is force protection.
Providing security and protecting DoD assets and personnel, in this case the hulls and American personnel on the base.
That's one job.

If he can't come up with a protocol or system to watch out for new Corgi's manifesting and making sure they don't maul or kill a Japanese civilian, JMSDF personnel, kanmusu, USN personnel, contractor, or hull in a friendly fire incident, then he's not doing his job.
If he needs a little flag rank push to get his requests for additional personnel through, then Settle should by all means help him.
But it's Hate's job to get started on that plan. It's the one thing he can't say isn't part of his orders, because wild Corgi's just-manifested on the loose is a danger to every single DoD asset we have on this base.
>>
>>42752718
>annoying, hyperactive, but not actually that violent
That's for Corgi's that we brought over from the States.
The ones that attacked Shigure could be newly manifested ones, ones that haven't mingled with the others and been essentially integrated into the pack, to not attack former IJN ships.
>>
>>42752748
Until now the dogs hadn't actually attacked anybody. They'd chased Shirgure that one time, but Hate never actually knew about that incident and we brushed it off too!
So far as Hate knew the way things were was functioning for the week we've been there. Now we all know differently, and can take proper steps
>>
>>42752651
>he has other duties on base
Hate's been complaining he's got nothing to do EXCEPT handle the dogs through the entire week, though.
>>
>>42752787
As I said, his previous complacence in dealing with the rising PT boat population is excusable.
No one thought that a Navy boat would actually disobey a direct order from an admiral.

But my point stands that since the Corgi's randomly manifest on the base, and Hate's job is force protection, and we NOW know that the Corgi's are a potential danger to all of our assets and personnel unless they're properly supervised, Hate needs to come up with a plan to deal with any new Corgi's that could attack someone.
>>
>>42752837
Yup! He does. We'll probably collaborate with him and Goto on that plan come next thread, or he'll figure it out on his own if we get distracted by other things.
>>
>>42752862
>>42752837
Either that or any of the other side-characters (CRABBBBBBB) will have a plan.
>>
>>42752791
That's mostly hyperbole on his part I think. Most of his job is boring until it isn't, basically. He's apparently the guy they trust for off base protection and he's there when the shipgirls do firing practice as well. I think most of the scenes he's in he's doing *something* related to keeping the base running, he just wants to be doing anything else.
>>
>>42752938
Well you know what they say about bored marines...
>>
>>42752938
Yeah. A lot of his business is in being ready for shit that doesn't happen and checking in with other people who are waiting for the same thing.
>>
>>42752509
Oh and while Hate could be fined, unless these are dogs he did not have knowledge of, the dogs that actually DID the biting - probably will have to be "put down".
>>
>>42753022
>probably will have to be "put down".
It's not a determination we can make, per USN chain of command.
The dogs are considered ships in terms of USN regulations and policy (even though there is no captain or crew for them).
We are a Rear Admiral.
We do not have the authority to decommission a ship, even if it's a PT Boat.

What we CAN do, is make the suggestion to our boss, the Chief of Naval Operations. We could also float the suggestion to Admiral Thomas, who commands the 7th Fleet, who could take it up himself to the CNO.

As much as I wish we could, these are the laws we are bound by.
