[X] She's not a child. Just make it clear that her volunteering scares you.

You snatch your hand off Arizona's shoulder guiltily. Reclining in your creaky office chair, you try to project an air of casual nonconcern which seems to slide right off Wilson's hard grey gaze. “You know what you're doing,” you say to the air over the table. “But...”

Arizona's hands are folded before her on the table again as she looks straight ahead, sitting straight with military composure. Some vague jumble of officious objections with phrases like “risk management” and “sure bets” come to your lips, but your voice fails even as you draw breath to speak them. Everyone knows the time for caution and half-measures is behind you, now - you were arguing as much yourself not a minute ago. Everything you know about command, about leadership and *especially* about covering your ass in a highly political meeting with the CO of 7th fleet itself looking on screams against being too honest, but you can't force the lies past your lips.

“... I just wish you wouldn't,” you say quietly.

Arizona's gaze flicks sideways at you for a heartbeat, then away. She lowers her eyes to her clasped hands on the tabletop and squeezes them a little tighter.

IT'S TIME

>>43203074
Okay, some thoughts.

Option 3 doesn't make sense. She's a flagship, brass shouldn't bother her. She's literally had admirals living in her for years. I'm too tired to try and phrase that in a way that sounds less lewd.

Options 1 and 2 are basically two angles at the same conclusion, the latter being a bit more conservative and making less assumptions. I say that an attraction is near-certain, but whether it's of the romantic or platonic variety still has some question marks. So let's go with basically Option 2, and dig a little more BUT I think we ought to do so in private. Flirting with a battleship/sacred war memorial or even investigating possibilities in front of others (especially others that outrank us) seems like a really bad idea.

I also think we need some admiral-to-admiral time with Goto to talk battleships and their assignations (though perhaps a different word would describe Kongou) so perhaps buying some time (Option 3, though for a different reason) is a good play.

Just some thoughts...

This is neither the time nor the place to have this particular conversation. Though I don't know when/if we will have it. But not in front of the Commander 7th Fleet.
>>
>>43203074
Put her under duress. Akagi saved the Hornet driver because he was going to bite it. Hamp got out of Davey Jone's rack and back with his Hull due to some insane bosun yelling at him. Extreme stress, PTSD inducing basically, such as being dive-bombed (hue) would/might trigger the shipgirl bullshit.

Hmmm, I'm always leery of votes without some justification.

Speaking of Hamp, it's worth remembering that he didn't save our asses by being some amazing supership. He's got the same size guns as the Takaos, and a roughly equal belt. What won that fight was him being fresh and in the right place at the tight time
>>

Actually, this makes a great deal of sense. BUT given that we're talking about Arizona, it's a terrible idea.

On the other hand, that may be EXACTLY the argument we need to disqualify Arizona.
>>
>>43203357
>>43203393

Akagi manifested due to wanting to save the Hornet driver, right? Hamp came back cause some dude was sounding the GQ alarm while kicking the rack out from under him. It's pretty simple really. Full mahou shoujou transformation is only possible under stress.

Quick question someone in this thread might have an answer to. I know that USS Saufley (DD-465) played a role in the movie of PT-109, but I don't know what she did. As the only Destroyer I can find participating, I expect she played the roles of at least one of the Japanese Destroyers present, but I'd like confirmation.

In particular, I want to know if she cosplayed as Shigure to represent the latter's attempt on JFK's life.
>>
>>43203477
Oh, you mean we can bring arizonas hull back by putting her under extreme distress. I see what you're going for but why don't we just ask Akagi how she did it before pulling Ari's hull to the surface along with the trauma.
>>
>>43203477
>Hamp came back cause some dude was sounding the GQ alarm while kicking the rack out from under him.

I thought Hamp came back because he heard the sound of Settle's tremendous rage and hatred echoing through the Warp?

100% agreement. The stress idea is probubly correct - although some form of wish magic would have similar symptoms since it requires wanting something very badly, which would manifest in highly stressful situations.

Regardless, bad idea with our present BB. As I said above, maybe that's our way out of this conversation. Put forward the theory that it requires a high stress life-or-death situation and the idea will promptly be vetoed by Admiral Thomas. Leaves us in the clear.
>>
>>43203555
He did. Hamp was also kind of sleeping at the bottom of the ocean. So it can be attributed to the bosun yelling at him to get the fuck up.

He does, however, have better turret protection, better fire control thanks to radar, and much better AP shells.

>>43203492

>>43203620
Against a Battlecruiser with 13.5" guns at point blank range, none of those factors make much of a difference.

>>43203657
except for the fact that, you know

his AP shells can actually penetrate it?

>>43203657
The better performance of Hamp's guns and shells did make quite the difference in that fight, actually.

That's a factor of the extreme close range the scrap ocurred at. In that close, even the nipshit would have penetrated. The difference is that hamp had a better range band to work with - not that it mattered, since he was functionally immobile for the fight.

10,000 meters isn't "close range" for cruiser battles, that's just about the average. Sure you can shoot at things 20,000 meters away with your 8" guns, but it won't do jack shit.

Did you guys know the US Navy actually named a ship after Benjamin Franklin? CV-13, joined the war in January 1944. Imagine if that carrier comes back as a ship BOY. Imagine if he's got ol' Ben Franklin's personality. Dude got around, mostly chasing milfs. The thought makes me giggle just a bit...
>>
>>43203746
I'd be more worried about CV-66.

It's litterally the most modern ship that can come back. It had the capability to launch F-14s, F-18s and AEW.
>>
>>43203830
No one who matters cares.
>>
>>43203657
Except that those heavier AP shells have more penetrating power. Which means they can get through more armor and potentially blow up something important. Like, I don't know, the magazine?

Ben Franklin/Houshou.

>>43203804
Hamp came back when the battle-cruiser was at 10,000 meters. It got closer from that point and was engaged by him the entire way.

The Jap guns wouldn't be able to even hole the armor on her without the shells being broken up until about 4-5,000 meters, and that's only if shes completely flat on to them. You can thank their anemic AP shell velocity and shitty steel quality for that. Meanwhile Hamps been poking holes in her the entire time.

the japs 8" AP shell CAN NOT, read;

CAN NOT hole a 9" thick belt beyond 6,000 meters.

At 5,000 meters the shell will penetrate, but be broken up and do almost nothing.

Goto coughs prominently, catching your attention. He leans on his elbows as he claps his hands together just below his chin, giving you a long, weary Look over his knuckles. “Sooooooooo~” he drawls, slicing his chin towards the intel geeks at the other end of the table. “I believe you had something to tell us?”

You see Chief Parker stand up from his crowd - your primary contact amongst the Squirrely Ones, He Whom Receives Donut Tithes. There's something about his look you don't like - the stubble's been shaved off and his shirt is fresh out of a drawer, but instead of the vacant queasiness or caffeine-wired, flinty edge you were used to seeing in your own bridge crew, Parker's face is drawn and pale. “We have isolated a reliable sonic signature for identifying abyssals.”

A murmur of excitement goes through the room. Goto slides his gaze back to you for a moment, then back down the table to Parker. “Explain further,” he invites.

“Yes... the...” Parker shakes his head, clearly trying to gather his thoughts.

“Was it hull cavitation?” Tate asks eagerly.

England hoists an eyebrow.

“The computers run sonar returns through computers that try to filter out background noise and biologics to hone in on repetitive mechanical sounds fitting a certain profile,” Tate explains. “But no two abyssals really seem to sound alike so we can't profile them. But no matter what their machinery sounds or doesn't sound like, they still have to move through the water, which creates-”

“No, no, no,” Parker objects, shaking his head and rubbing his face with both hands. “These things can change physical form at *will.* We figured out real quick that any approach based on mechanical profiling won't work. Ya can't just say all their screws sound like this, or water flow over their hull always sounds like *that* and slap a filter on to broom away all the tuna fishes and whale farts. That's a sonarman's approach, doin that ONE WITH THE WAVES thing,” Parker says, clapping his hands over his ears and waggling his eyes upward to demonstrate. “We're *analysts.* We took a few petabytes of sonar bouy data taken for marine research around Japan and just started stripping away anything that varied too much. I mean...” Parker sighs. “Petty Officer Weiss nailed this down, I'll let him explain.” He sinks back into his chair and sits in it like a sack of potatoes.

Weiss rises, a manilla folder held in his hand that he simply bends back and forward, not needing it in the slightest. “Okay, uh. Well. With mechanical signatures - screw cavitation, pump sounds, machinery - you analyze for *frequency* consistency; it's almost always playing the same note but its louder or quieter or faster or slower depending on what the ship's doing, you see?”

Every brass hat in the room nods in unison. Squirrels are like this - once they get rolling on something they *know,* their confidence tends to draw people in.

“That's how computers scan SOSUS to alert an operator, see, it filters by frequency, then applies a second pass for rate, how often the sound is heard or how often the cycle repeats or whatever. And we've got all the profiles nicely sorted because a sub far away moving fast, a sub close moving slow, vice versa, whatever, the physical realities narrow the possible combinations down to a much more manageable set of signatures,” Weiss continues. “But abyssals don't give a damn for physical realities, so - what's the constant?”

Everyone waits.

Weiss brings his hands up to his face, palms facing his cheeks, then flicks them forward to wave his fingers at the crowd. “They're spooky.”

Parker lets his face sink into his hand while the other forms a fingergun to administer himself humane euthanasia.

“That's their *nature.* It's a constant. It might vary in signal strength, that's it. So we just filtered for the constants - filtered by repetition rate. And we found something that never varied save for volume. It was obscured by their own mechanical noise most of the time and you can't autofilter those for reasons just described so it was a real pain, but... we found it. We found a reliable audio signature that marks abyssals.”

Silence sits heavy in the room for long moments as everyone absorbs that. Tate, the SSN skipper, is the first to reply. “So what the hell's the source?”

Parker straightens up and answers while Wiess bends his folder into a tube nervously. “Abyssals are spiritual in nature,” he says, his voice sounding a bit ragged. “And their nature never wavers, never changes at all. They can speed up, slow down, climb, dive, stand on their damn heads - you'll always hear this signal loud and clear, once you're filtering out the background noise.”

“It's quiet enough to be drowned out by the abyssal's own unique set of mechanical sounds, you said?” Wilson muses. “So the signal is faint?”

“At first,” Wiess says, back on firm ground. “But just hearing it marks everything *else* you hear from it as abyssal. You should be able to program quick and dirty filters for their various acoustic signatures pretty quick if you can shadow them for a while.”

“How long?” Admiral Thomas asks.

Wiess cocks his head with a 'hrrrm' sound. “The big problem with abyssals is repetition frequency is so wide. Even at two knots a boat is making 50RPM or so on her screws, shafts, turbines - pretty easy to nail down. Abyssal have that sometimes... and sometimes they've got sounds that are complex patterns that repeat every thirty seconds up to a minute, like the chorus of a song or a blue whale's heartbeat or something. I'd say thirty minutes to properly sniff them all out and clean up the profiles for noise by cookie-cutter comparison against ambient background profiling from your unexposed side, but you could do it in five minutes or so if you need to teach a fish fast for a good shot.”

“... damn fine work, boys,” Thomas says quietly. The Burke skippers seem to have been lost right when you were, around "ambient background profiling," but the submariners seem suitably impressed. “How soon can we have SOSUS looking for this?”

Wiess rubs his head. “Well, I've got the algorithms all worked out, so as soon as you forward the report-”

“Consider it done five minutes ago,” Thomas says.

“Well,” Goto says, leaning back in his own chair with a sigh. “That covers all scheduled business. Is there anything else you want to bring up?”

One of the difficult but necessary parts of responsibility is letting your superiors know if there is a HAZREP of some kind. The admirals deserve to know that their PT boats could possibly go rogue and engage in blue-on-blue action. They can put more stuff in motion for preventing repeats than we can.

It wouldn't be wise to use shipgirls for this. The Japanese girls might set the Corgis off, and we don't have nearly enough USN ones. Even if all the extra hands do it follow the Corgis around and keep an eye on them, it's a vast improvement to our current system of "ignore them and hope nothing bad happens."

You forgot the rate of fire. Hamp's guns could achieve approximately double the rate of fire they (and their IJN equivilents) were designed for, (and they did, on multiple ships in multiple battles) by using the "cue-ball" technique.

Big guns in that era were loaded primarily by operators using hydraulic rams - you had one that rammed the shell into the breech, then another that pushed the powder bags in and seated them firmly behind the shell. Because the shell went in first the shell ram was considerably longer. Operators of the US 8 inch gun found that they could quickly smack the shell with the powder ram and "bat" it into the gun like a cue ball, which sped up loading considerably because the powder ram was shorter, and thus could cycle a lot faster. That the equipment tolerated this abuse without any appreciable damage afterwards is a testament to their construction.

Sheer rate-of-fire meant that Hamp was putting out twice the steel as could be expected, and since his turrets were properly armored he wasn't losing guns to secondary battery penetrations, either. Takao et al had their primary batteries guarded by only splinter level protection. Once you get in real close where secondary batteries can land reliable hits, sheer volume of fire will take out your guns really fast.

“Yes,” you say. “One more thing - my pet Marine is having a hard time containing the PT boats these days, and when they're not being torpedo boats, they're... well, Corgis. They're breaking out of the kennel regularly now, and with just one minder it's proving hard to control them. I know that qualified personnel are in short supply, given all the factors involved, but there has to be some sort of equipment to help with this thing.”

The others begin pitching ideas as the squirrels go scrolling through their smartphones for images of possible robotic solutions. In the brief pause before people start pitching ideas, you lean close to Arizona and whisper in her ear. “Could you go outside and call us a ride from the motor pool?”

Arizona seems to shiver as the tension leaves her. She nods and slides sideways, then back, striding out of the room quickly. You should've known better than to take Arizona - *the* Arizona - into this room, with the history and connotations that ride with her, but leaving her waiting outside the door while you discussed Business inside seemed so insulting you hadn't even considered it. You fish out your own smartphone and start recording the better-sounding suggestions as they're made, and once your satisfied, Goto adjourns the meeting.

You've barely risen from your chair, struggling upward on stiff muscles with your cane as leverage when someone catches you by the back of your collar and yanks you backwards. You hear a door slam, and the world goes dark as you stumble, falling ass-first into something vaguely bucket-shaped.

There's a *click!* and suddenly Goto's graven face emerges from the gloom, moodily lit by a single incandescent bulb above you.

“Settle,” Goto intones darkly.

I hate Hate, but even I have to admit that this probably wasn't his fault, since the Corgi's are self-manifesting outside of the kennels.
And trying to shift blame to someone when there's a good likelihood that there's evidence exonerating them (video surveillance from the kennels showing all previously known PT boats accounted for) is just fucking idiotic.

Featuring the meeting of Iowa and Yamato, and their subsequent parasol duel.
>>
You look around the darkened broom closet as you shift your ass to a slightly more comfortable perch on the rim of the mop bucket you landed in. “So...” You squint at Goto. “I get the feeling I should ask you what 'yaoi' is before anything else.”

Goto stares at you, his face going slack with astonishment.

And then he starts to laugh.

The wiry, grizzled-looking man slides down the door of the janitor's closet as he stifles his guffaws with visible effort, tears rolling out of his sunken eyes to soak into his unshaven stubble. He ends up sitting on a big pack of replacement toilet paper, still chortling as he rubs his temples. “Where the hell did you hear *that* word?”

“Kitakami.”

He sniggers. “Figures.”

“So. I was, uh, going to pigeonhole you and-”

“Shigure,” Goto says with a sigh. “Yeah. Heard about it about thirty minutes ago.”

“I would've gone straight to you, but it took me most of the morning just to run the damn dogs to ground,” you tell him. “We managed to trap them in the well deck of an LSD tied up at the JSDF berths and bailed before its skipper could chew my ass off for the gift.”

“You did the right thing,” Goto replies. “I was still in that conference - spotted you in the back with Arizona, by the way.”

“Yeah. What the hell was their problem, anyways? Were they all from the Nationalist News Network?”

Goto sighs and shakes his head, leaning over to rest his elbows on his knees. “I wish. That first one *is* a known troublemaker, but the rest-” he shakes his head. “They're just scared, Settle. They're scared shitless. We haven't made any official reports about Iwo Jima yet, but the armchair intel geeks are already posting about it on the 'chans, or so I'm told. It's a matter of hours before a reputable news outlet starts pushing us for a statement, according to Thomas's PR people, and my JSDF staff think we should just write one up now and get ahead of it. Land invasion, Settle. LAND invasion. The majority of the American public live on the coastline, and for Japan-!”

You nod glumly, taking his point.

“We're buying time for the riot police to deploy, basically.”

“What? You just said this is *Japan,*” you retort. “I thought the Japanese lined up and waited quietly in line at the tsunami shelters - and no shoving, unless you're the designated packer with the neat little uniform.”

Goto doesn't even crack a smile. “Not anymore. People are right to be scared, Settle. There's nowhere we can't be hit, now. And those fucking buzzards are right there to fan the flames when people start to panic.”

“And atop of all that, Shigure.”

Goto nods. “Shigure.” He leans against the door and tilts his head back with a groan, his spine clicking audibly. “I can't believe I never thought of it...”

“You couldn't have anticipated a damn dog attack,” you point out. “It's our fault, not yours-”

“Really?” Goto mutters.

“Pretty sure those boats are the ones that missed their last swipe at her at Surigao Strait,” you inform him. “I saw them harassing Shigure a few days ago, but didn't put things together and didn't report it-”

“Ha!” Goto snorts. “You remember what happened to the boats at Surigao strait, didn't you?”

You think for a second, then reach for your pocket-

“No looking it up, wanker.”

You sigh. “Okay, what?”

“They got the shit shot out of them,” Goto says. “Probably why they're still pissed about it. Have you ever seen a shipgirl try to launch torpedoes on land?”

You recall Hate's ambush with the bats, back at the museum park. “Yeah, they just-”

“Fish out of water,” Goto replies. “Hell, ton for ton the little bastards would do more damage actually biting her as dogs than raking her superstructure with peashooters and small arms. She's carrying a late-war armament so she's got light automatics to match three of the tiny shits, if she wanted. She was never in any great physical danger.” Goto closes his eyes and taps his head against the door with a hollow 'bonk'. “Sounds like... sounds like she just snapped.”

“Have they tried... I don't know, psychologists-”

Goto snorts and shakes his head with a dark chuckle. “Where the hell would you *begin* to analyze their issues? You can't treat them as merely human, or so conventional wisdom goes. And everyone's scared shitless of what'll happen if you go encouraging them to dig up those memories. We assume they're repressing or handling it as best we can and *let them fucking be, Settle.*” Goto bonks the door with his head again. “I assumed Shigure kept to herself for the same reason. I assumed wrong.”

Agreed.

A thought along that line: the Abyssals had oilers, so noncombatants can come back too. We had a shitload of hospital ships during the war, perhaps it's time to try summoning a couple of those. A hospital ship girl could be the perfect answer - ship girl strength with medical (including psychological) experience from her crew ...

God dammit, we may be stupid bastards, but what the hell use is saving mankind, if we sacrifice humanity to do it?

They aren't ships. They aren't girls. They're SHIPGIRLS. The only way we're winning this war AND securing a future peace is by treating them as such. No-one who's ever served on anything that's ever floated is up to that task, but we're the best the world's got. It's going to take some real mental contortions, but we'll manage it. We have to manage it. We have to make these girls our family. Our daughters, sisters and even lovers. It's the only way we'll understand them well enough to make the right use of them and well enough to help them when they need us.

What about repair ships and tenders?
Right now we only have one human who's cleared and has the skills needed to do repairs on shipgirls.
Isn't it worth the effort to get other shipgirls that could do that as well? Such a shipgirl might even have insight into how upgrades could be properly integrated into a shipgirl, or what effects they might have on the Leveling Effect.

Point. We really should have thought about support ships previously - all we've had to date are combatants.

And that line of thinking prompted what I hope is another good idea (two in one day? that would be a new record for me): we're going to have to hit Iwo Jima shortly. It would be nice to have some landing ship girls. If the CVs get faerie planes, wouldn't the landing ships get faerie tanks? That would change the game a bit...

>>43206794
That's true, but wouldn't it be better to attempt therapy for all shipgirls and identify the ones we can save and the ones that we'll just have to let go, rather than waiting until one of them breaks down and kills herself?

I'm sure it's not going to work on all ships, but I think it can help prevent more suicides/going Abyssal than it'll cause.

It was NEVER a valid strategy. Ever. The only people who did it intentionally did it either because they didn't care about the rules of war (Japan/USN) or did it by accident and tried to BS a justification afterwards (Germany).

CVs are actually the best land invaders.

>>43206794
Likely summoning them and not really considering their feelings. Sure there's those like Kaga who live to resume the fight, but others are bundles or issues and not much was done to help.

>>43206855
Because things like support ships and pyschologists would make things too easy and not "interesting" enough. Can't have that in a planefag quest, even though we're not expected to make non-retarded choices.
>>
So while fap angel is eating, consider the following:
Ise and Hyuuga are perfectly suited to capturing an Abyssal.

>Battleship armor, can take the inevetable punishment from getting close
>Littoral nature of the plan means they have access to their full complement of planes
>Planes are fucking AMAZING at forcing an enemy ship to change course as you want them to
>Gym rats with katanas, good for CQC and wrassling
>Dense as a single brick between them, resistant to hypothetical psy-attacks
>>
>>43206790
It's always been illegal - hasn't stopped anyone.

The IJN actually found the Russian fleet at Tsushima by following their hospital ship at night, which under the laws of war had to have all of its lights on.

We see that in Tone and Chikuma for those summoned and Northhampton for those who WANT to come back. (Tone/Chikuma not remodelled for full floatplane duties, Northhampton with the radar that was added later.)

Perhaps we need to send for one of our modern hospital ships while we're at it. We'll need it for the Iwo Jima invasion if nothing else. And if we do get a hospital ship girl or two, we would want to give them training on modern methods.

So perhaps hospital ship girls for the human side of our ship girls, and fleet tender ship girls for the ship side.

On 16 September, at 11:25am, U-156, with a Red Cross flag draped across her gun deck, was spotted by an American B-24 Liberator bomber from Ascension Island. Hartenstein signalled to the pilot in both Morse code and English requesting assistance. A British officer also messaged the aircraft: "RAF officer speaking from German submarine, Laconia survivors on board, soldiers, civilians, women, children."

>Harden flew back to the scene of the rescue effort, and at 12:32 attacked with bombs and depth charges. One landed among the lifeboats in tow behind U-156, killing dozens of survivors, while others straddled the submarine itself causing minor damage.

time to sir late-to-everything to butt in!

Shipsluts:
They are not human. But by that token, they are still people; they are the creation and forging directly by the suffrage and sweat of human beings, as any other child of man.

They emulate their parents: The ones that do not come back as abyssals must understand on some level that their creation and development - their driven and directed actions - are the results of those who poured their heart and souls into the forging.

Who else are they to learn from, to act as the beings they are? They even wrap themselves in human flesh;

As such, a psychologist with a sufficiently open mind, or the right chaplain may do a good job of comforting them and allowing them to face down their own issues as strange as they might be.

And somewhere, a tiny voice goes "Harder, just fucking roll with it."

And Harder, miraculously, does.

AND THEN THEY FUCKED. THE END.
