FIRST PAST THE BOAT

And just like that, it freezes. You blink, feeling a little dizzy, and the afterimages resolve themselves into an attentive circle of corgis, plopped down on their haunches, watching their lord and master with solemn and intense focus.

Hate sliiiides his stare onto you, pinning you in place as he beams the entirely of his miserable existence right into your eye-sockets with his expression alone.

Then he lets his suffering out into the atmosphere with a sigh that turns the very air itself to a leaden miasma that weighs heavy on your shoulders. Succumbing to fate, he lets his eyes drop down and to the side.

The selected corgi cocks its head, jaw falling open - then it begins twirling in place so fast it seems suspended atop a vague motion blur with vaguely paw-like emphasis at certain spots. The corgi next to it whines dismally as it flops on its belly, regarding its companion with lidded-eyes, but the Chosen One doesn't seem to care, lost in its glee.

“... the fuck is this shit?” Hamp says, his eyebrows knit in an expression you're coming to recognize as Maximum Dubiousness.

Hate sighs, and flicks a fingergun in Hamp's vague direction. “Sic'em.”

As one the circle of corgis rush Hamp, their Outfits manifesting about their bodies, dual-fifites, torpedoes and little sailor hats all. Within ten seconds Hamp is festooned by growling corgis that have attached themselves to every single limb, low, wicked growls sounding from their throats.

“... oooooohhhh,” Hamp says as enlightenment dawns.

Hate's wicked little grin melts into a frown. “Uh, you need some help there?”

Hamp regards Hate with lidded eyes for a second - and then the room is filled with the snarling low buzz of miniaturized nine-cylinder radials as two little blue seaplanes zip through the door. They buzz a corgi each, cutting so close that little tufts of shorn fur float in their wake. The corgis go absolutely *apeshit* - one that was climbing up Hamp's arm to attack his head simply leaps off his shoulder, narrowly missing one of the SOCs with a quick snap of its jaws. It leaves a sizeable dent in the brand-new tile as it lands, springing back up and twisting in air to try another snatch. The seaplanes start weaving together, drawing the dogs out the far double doors.

Hamp raises his coffee-

-and Hate slurps at his, loud, long and obnoxiously.

Hamp retaliates in kind, tiling the paper starbucks cup to its limit, letting the rattle of the three-quarters empty container fill the air as turbulent liquid churns in a chaotic flow against the plastic lid. Hate refills his thermos cap and raises it for another go and that's about when you feel a deep and moving urge to draw your sword-cane and fucking murder them both.

“ALL RIGHT, PUT AWAY THE RULERS AND ZIP UP, YOU'RE BOTH PRETTY,” Sammy snarls, her five little Corgis leaping to their feet and barking a mad chorus of agreement.

Yeah the Tenryuu-class was explicitly designed as a destroyer leader. They're also OLD. The first one launched 1918, it was already way outdated by the time WW2 launched.

That said, the Kuma and Nagara classes were almost as old, 1919 and 1922, respectively, and Sendai was launched 1924.

Ooyodo and Agano class aside, none of the CLs Japan fielded were actually up to date to fight in a fight like WW2.

Like Naka pointed out, Fubuki and co. were pretty much replacements.

>But why not just mass them instead of carriers? Why not just launch them off BBs? Or seaplane tenders?

Because flying boats/floatplanes make a lot of design compromises to able to take off or land on water. They also tend to be very big and heavy so if the enemy has decent CAP or AA capability, flying boats would get torn apart. Also, if the flying boats don't have a carrier, where are you going to service them? They certainly can't keep up with a moving fleet.

Because carrier aircraft are smaller and have better performance.flying boats are not fast or manoeuvrable and they cannot carry large bombs or torpedoes.

Long story short cause I'm lazy.

During the attack on Truk atoll those three ships were late getting out of dodge.

Then the Iowas showed up and found targets on radar. Over three hundred rounds from the Iowa and I think the New Jersey later, over penetration is a bitch, those three ships wet under.

>>45118292
>Yeah the Tenryuu-class was explicitly designed as a destroyer leader.
It's worth noting that they weren't actually used for this. Specifically, they weren't part of a torpedo squadron like Naka, Tama, and most other light cruisers. Instead, they were organized as a battle division like the heavy and torpedo cruisers.

The obvious solution is to build dedicated submersible flying boat tenders. They don't have to have hangars or anything so it's not full retard, just fuel and ordnance stowage and like, a flat top like a dock to service them.

“Well, you seem to have them well in hand, Lieutenant,” you observe wryly. “What seems to be the problem?”

Hate flings his hand out at the cage. “YOU SEE THAT?”

You examine the cage. It has the heavy-duty construction of something fabricated straight from cut bar stock - as if the obvious weld marks at the corners weren't evidence enough. “Crab and his slaves knocked most of this together a few days ago. Heaviest goddamn stock we could get on short notice, and it STILL doesn't hold the little bastards!”

“Well... they do have three twelve-cylinder engines apiece,” you observe. “Hard to constrain that kind of horspower.”

“Which means the only real clamp on their exuberance is ME!” Hate points out. “I can't lock the little fucks up for one night, I can't go into town for a fucking meal, I CAN'T EVEN JACK OFF WITHOUT THESE LITTLE FUCKS SCRABBLING AT THE DOOR!” he almost screams. He's found his feet without realizing it, the dogs already eagerly lapping up the spilled coffee. His hand is slightly red - a slight burn, probably - but he's too busy whipping the thermos's cap across the room to notice. “I'D LIKE TO GO AROUND HANGING OFF SOME SLUT'S ARM TOO, BUT I NEVER GET A FUCKING BREAK!”

“You know what you need?” you opine.

Hamp gives you a soft look, and grabs your hand. You turn to look lovingly into his eyes.

“Glad DADT was repealed, huh Settle?”

“DADT?” Hamp asks.

“Don't ask, don't tell.”

“... so-”

“You could fuck the gay daylights out of anyone, just don't get caught.”

Hamp blinked. “And they felt the need to give this an official military acronym? What's next, 'TSIB' for The Sky Is Blue? SRDH? Shit rolls down-hill? GICLB? Gunny is coming, look busy?”

“Well-”

“It doesn't even fucking RHYME!”

“It was-”

“Even that crazy fucker that drew the funny animals in his cartoons could make a fucking RHYME work, couldn't he? What the fuck!?”

You look to Hate for help, but he just raises his hands in mock surrender - nope, sorry, all yours.

“It's an insult to our pure love,” Hamp insists as he moves in, but you hold up your own palms now. “Nah, better not.”

“WE MUST STRIKE A BLOW FOR JUSTICE!”

“No, no, seriously, Hate's gonna win this one.”

Hamp freezes. “No way.”

“Oh yeah.”

This is actually sort of addressed in-game with the pilot fairies. The first few named fairies (Tomonaga and Egusa) had quests that let you upgrade their planes, but you'd have to lose the previous form for it. You'd need to K2 new Souryuus and Hiryuus to get copies of the lowest-tier Egusa & Tomonaga.

When Zuikaku and Shoukaku got their K2 they made it flat-out impossible. There's exactly one Murata Squadron, one Iwai Squadron and one Iwamoto Squadron.

So the intention is clearly that named fairies cannot be duped (or die, for that matter).

You watch the complex interplay of emotions on Hamp's face - which solidify and sharpen with a jolt when the sound of a zipper being drawn down fills the air.

“Play Gay Chicken with the Marine, and get the dick,” Hate says.

“You... wouldn't.”

“Hamp, you're a great guy,” Hate says sadly, patting his crotch. “Don't make me do this.”

There's a squeak of shoesole on tile by the door. You all turn to see Hibiki, a manilla folder in hand, staring at the room, her usual neutral expression now aggressively flat. She holds the folder out gingerly, drops it on the floor, and walks out again without a word.

“... WELL THEN,” you say, clapping your hands together. “Thanks, thanks for that, Hate, thanks.”

“Any time, pervert Admiral.”

I think we should do both. My first thought even before seeing the vote options was that we should give the dogs to various ship girls to help take care of them.

Secondly, ships want to be ships. Keeping the dogs in here surely isn't going to be good for them.

I imagine the'll get less and less manageable as time goes on.

Why are we sitting on assets and not using them?

Plus, they DO need to get used to the Japanese shipgirls. If only we had a couple of more-or-less SANE US Destroyergirls to keep them in line while they did. Oh well, if wishes were ships, we'd have won the war already.

We just need to get some girls who are sane and level-headed to watch them while they patrol. Hmmmh...

Nothing calms an overexuberant dog like getting exercised regularly. They've gotta be bored out of their skulls just sitting around in the kennel, and while we don't have enough people to give them the attention they really want, if they've had a chance to run off some of that energy, they'll at least be calmer.

We've never seen how fairy can get away from their ship. You prove nothing until Parker says otherwise.

The very same. I've been to Wisconsin, Missouri, Torsk, Constellation, Midway, Intrepid, Barry, and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.

Hey Hate if things don't work out with the Tenryuu girls there's always the Hungry Wolf, I heard every group date she's gone on every guy was to much of a pussy.

>>45119451

Parker ain't sayin shit about shit. So how about we go with my explanation which is "Y'all fucking dumb" since I'm the one here with direct fucking contact with one of the girls, huh? Sound like a fucking plan?

One of the Nakaposts had Harder return Naka's floatplane pilot to her.
One of the first Parkerposts had Willie show her prizefighter to Parker.

Early in the Parker writeups, he spoke to the champ of Willie's crew fighting ring to ask to help her toughen up and practice fighting.
Recently in the Naka writeups Harder sheepishly returned Naka's floatplane to her, the latter's pilot having come secretly to visit his chef.

Shit's weird.

>>45119561
Chief spook has been helping Willie's prizefighter teach Willie how to box, for confidence!

And one of Naka's crew has been paying some visits to one of Harder's, using Naka's floatplane. Harder's cook keeps letting her in.

All hold their own merits. I'm ashamed I've been to fewer submarines and aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers are cool, but submarines were cool. I think I also saw USS Des Moines when it was in the Phialdelphia Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility. Also, there's a book called Yellow Eyes that shares a suprising degree of similarity to Kantai Collection, at least in the ship girl department.

If all goes well and I visit some friends in Houston this year, I am visiting the Texas and HUGGING her gun barrel if I at all can, thank you very much!

It's not strange at all! Those ships gave their everything in the war, so it's only fair we show them we appreciate their service! I mean for goodness sake, every Rememberance Day in the UK, I make a point of paying for the drinks of every veteran who visits the same sandwich shop I do after the service! It's the same thing!

In that an AI involved in the war (this book is by John Ringo) comes across the gestalt of the original ship, becomes a girl, and falls in love with the captain.
