Belated Battleships (KanColle) [REHOST]

How the fuck is Midway an ocean graveyard? It's a set of two islands.
That once housed a military base.

And Henderson Field totally counts. It's not just naval bases; otherwise, Airfield Princess would never be a thing.

Oh god, Airship Princesses..

~Chase Station will help you~" and then you get tactical balloons/airships.

And yeah I was wrong, sorry about that!
 
Saratoga: No point in me discussing chest size, since battleships will always be have bigger boobs than us carriers. Yes; go on, insert flattop joke here...

Legs; on the other hand, I actually have something. For example. Jersey and myself: MY legs are a tiny bit longer than hers as I'm just a wee bit taller, BUT while my muscle tone is pretty damned good (I can generate 180,000 shp!) Jersey and her sisters have me beat. They can generate 212,000 shp! So yeah, reluctantly I have to give it to Jersey that she's got the best legs a shipgirl ever had. I'm still a little faster because MY legs aren't carrying around that big armor belt she's got. (Seriously that girl has quite the abs!) Nor *sigh* those massive cannons.

Nuke boats bring some really odd calculations into the mix. They have immensely strong hearts and I like the marathoner analogy: HUGE endurance. But that's as long as they aren't in combat. THEN they can tire out just like the rest of us and eat just like we do to replenish all the OTHER stores that get depleted. Nukes also have a thing for spicy foods. Habaneros and even *shudder* Ghost chilies! Nagato and myself do not tolerate spicy foods well. (Note to Ashigara... If you had done your homework, you would have known better than to serve spicy curry to one of us 'Bikini Girls' ) Curiously, while nuke boats can generate HUGE amounts of power, their ability to channel it into movement is restricted. Someone pointed this out to us recently that all those stories of nuke carriers doing 40+ knots really don't add up when you realize that the actual drive systems aren't as revolutionary as the power system. It's still steam power no matter how you get it, so nukes don't have like 'bionic' running or anything like that.

By the way? Now that I think about it... Would not chest size be a better indication of 'flotation' rather than gun power? When it comes to guns, I've seen Jersey's arms. And there's no competition there. A carrier like me knows when she's out classed.
 
I'm not planning on bringing in any nuke-powered girls anyways. Any ship that's got nuclear power isn't going to be able to fit with the rest of the oil-fired girls. Bringing in a CVN, CGN, or CCGN adds a whole new range of tactical options.

It'd mean I'd have to very carefully write each engagement so the nuke boat doesn't totally carry the battle (in the case of a ship armed with modern AsHMs), or needs to be babied the whole time (in the case of a ship without battleship-killer missiles and minimal armor.)
 
And then there's the kettle of fish that is the Abyssals potentially one-upping their own game, and bringing in equivalent firepower of their own...
Also, temptation to push that 'dibs on Sara' thing from SB rising.
 
I didn't figure you would. I mean nuke boats would spoil the flavor of this fine story worse than having a gaggle of carriers show up. I merely address the point as the marathoner analogy was spot on and the speed thing was one that cropped up in my own writing when I took the stories of super fast nuke boats at face value. (Saratoga: That means I'm STILL the fastest Capital Ship in history! Yay me!)

... I am now trying to imagine her reaction in the future once the various spaceshipgirls/spaceshipboys show up seeing as even the slowest is faster then her.
 
I was just making a joke, early SSNs had 1 key thing. They don't sleep and can dive deep, otherwise its a better Gato (I mean Nautilus is just a Perfect Gato, its still LOUD as fuck, so its stealthy only in that she can dive, she still needs refuels every 3 years, and her torps are either WW2 vintage, nope inducing (good old nuke torps), or like Jerseys final outfit, too overpowered). So it would be more like a greyhound. Long endurance, striking power, but otherwise fragile.
 
The readers are getting restless from lack of cute battlethings.

e: And could you guys move the RPing to another thread? It's amusing in small doses with characters that already exist in BB. If you want to write shipgirls that I haven't, could you do it in omake-form instead of RP-form?

I wonder why so many people mistake this thread for the fic recs and ideas one.
