Belated Battleships (KanColle) [REHOST]

Reader mode
Actually this is a good place for one of the Navajo Class Fleet Ocean Tugs to show up at, and they would be a girl they are almost the size of the smaller destroyers and destroyer escorts. Armed with 1* 3"/50 2*40mm, and 2* 20mm. The situation with Heermann is what the where designed for.

1,350 Tons Butler class Destroyer Escort (Sammy is one of these)

1,250 Tons Clemson Class Destroyer

1,315 Tons Mutsuki Class Destroyer

1,091 Tons Navajo Class Fleet Ocean Tug

Or... she'll trade for Johnston's headdress so she gets the hug in Musashi's marshmallows.

I was actually imagining Johnston being rather jelly at Heerman's predicament (who in turn would have gladly traded places if she had known this was going to occur ahead of time, because, even if Musashi is surprisingly soft, she likes being able to breathe thankyouverymuch).

No, they knew the hug was coming, and prepared for it ahead of time. Musashi only thinks she's hugging Heermann. Heermann gets considerably less busty hugs from Jersey instead.
 
Been thinking about our little White Plains... I think it's time she traded in those Wildcats for a meaner breed of Killer cat:



The Grumman F8F Bearcat! It was meant with her in mind. Reppus? Who needs Reppus?
 
Ah yes, the Bearcat. It's what happens when you take an extremely powerful engine (Pratt & Whitney R-2800 "Double Wasp", same engine that powered the Hellcat) and put it into as small an airframe as possible.
 
And guaranteed to induce 'Fighter Envy' Though this is a tale of Battleships, White Plains certainly deserves the edge.
 
Jersey: Then yes, she's the spitting image of me. Yet somehow less hot...
Shuddup, J, she looks exactly like you. This is canon now.

I've been thinking about Musashi's future...

First of all, they're not going to put baby in the corner again. The operation against Hoppo-chan (did we ever get a code-name for the fleet action that just happened?) was too big for Japanese Government to try to pretend again that Musashi isn't around...and that's not even considering that, now that she has actually sortied and has experienced life on the open sea, trying to convince 'Sashi to stay grounded is going to be an exercise in futility. On the other hand, not only do the JMSDF still need to find a task 'worthy' of a Yamato-class Battleship to sortie on if they plan to use her; they still have to account for the costs for operating her, which are still a major issue.

With some clever PR work, however, all the above mentioned issues can be solved.

By stressing the importance of keeping the convoy line between the US and Japan and how dangerous such a trip can be (insert to-scale photos of Habakkuk here along with actual combat footage of recent operation) and Musashi can be assigned permanent convoy duty between Yokosuka and Everett by way of Dutch Harbor. Plus, it can be arranged for the US to foot half of the cost for maintaining 'Sashi (in other words, who picks up her tab depends on where she is). And for the USN's effort for making sure that the convoy's continue, Wash and Jersey can switch off on who makes the trip.

This will (of course) lead to future bar/restaurant crawls and/or drinking/eating competitions whenever Musashi and Jersey are at the same base. But that is half the fun...especially when, in the future, both Iowa an Yamato are in a stare-down; which is interrupted when 'Sashi and Jay drunkenly stagger between the two while using each other to stay up-right.

As for Musashi's more immediate actions? Well, it's implied that her mom-boat protocols were just tripped. So, I expect that she will first attempt to convince the DD's of Taffy 3 to switch over and run with her instead of Jersey...which is doomed to fail. However, all isn't lost for our Oriental Amazon! Both Kiyoshimo and Shimakaze are excellent choices for working with 'Sashi*.

...of course, I kinda have the image of Musashi picking up Shimakaze and carrying her under one of her arms just to keep track of her while Kiyoshimo proudly marches ahead, announcing Musashi's presence for everyone.

*Both Kiyoshimo and Shimakaze picked up survivors from Musashi after she was sunk in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

That and figuring out a way to beef up her AA. Is there a way to actually refit shipgirls? Because the idea of Mushy-Mushi picking up Jersey's AA suite and fire control is terrifying in all the right ways.

I swear that looks like Yang from RWBY, which works pretty well, to be honest.

Actually, Yang's image song fits Jersey pretty well too.


Not an exact fit, but where the rest of Yang's team has songs about their backstories or emotions, Yang's is about how she'll kick your ass if you cross her.

That's very Jersey.
