Daaaaw.
Jersey, you do realize that Harrison Ford's been trying to get Han killed for decades, right?
You are a lying liar who lies Crowning.
Daaaaaaw.
* WAFF intensifies*
And so the courting begins...
This explanation should be good./sarcasm.
Do I even need to mention all the ways that is hilariously illegal?
AKA: Be a giant cocktease.
I thought Kongou would have taught you better Kirishima. Your gnome husband would be so ashamed of you.
Experts my pasty white ass.
... I gravely fear meeting this individual.
Well... they did camouflage and ninja-roll in in the anime, Batman disappearance antics is not too out there.
Jersey blatantly toys with Musashi's blatant lust.
Crowning approves of swinging, confirmed.
This shit again....
Fuck you Kongou.
Crowning has drunk the Kool-Aid. There is no saving him.
Actually, they should be. Kongou said she's going to have them, ergo, Kongou will find a way to have children.
FTFY.
Missing period, or missing words?
And Jersey says she can't deal with her feelings.
Because fanservice.
The tiles are nothing but thin, highly porous pieces of recycled wood. What did you think was going to happen?

She couldn't even pick an actually good Weebl song.
Stop singing before someone shoots you! Like me!
Yeah. You are not singing Weebl unless you are bored out of your mind.
Shipgirl thwarting the spirit of the order in 3, 2, 1,
OK, that's it. I'm signaling all hands to open the sea valves and abandon the ship.
Hoo boy.
Good for you 'Laska!
Akron's report demands a big response.
Well shit. Air and undersea attack are out. This'll have to be a surface engagement.
The actual BC? Hoo boy, Abyssal shit is going down.

That's not much in terms of fighting power. DEs are rather slow and not built for actions like this, the three Kagerous would work nicely if you could get them into a choke point, the Straits of Florida for example. The real force multipler for that fleet is Alaska and Atago. However the Florida Air National Guard probably won't be happy and will probably launch an attack, the thing is their is Three Atlanta class Cruisers. Still, I guess the problem here is the fact that their is a distinct lack of cruisers that can bully those Atlantas.
So unless they can lure the Abyssals into the Straits of Florida this fight will be fairly one sided. That Lexington can decimate Atago or Alaska with one solid salvo from it's 16in/45 Caliber Mark II Guns, plus the Atlanta class well they are a DD's worst nightmare, that many 5in/38s shooting at you? Shudders.

only 3 Atlanta's and destroyers did a fine job taking 2 out the last war.

You underestimate the power of the Long Lance, as well as overestimating the durability of the Atlantas. Sure they're tough, but they're not invincible.
See Spectre.
Two of the three light cruisers the USN lost during the war were Atlantas. The third was Helena, and she was focused down by an entire fleet. Juneau and Atlanta? Long-Lanced. Juneau sank in less than thirty seconds after taking a torpedo in a damaged section.

wouldn't those torps be better spent violating Sara horribly?

granted Juneau got hit by the mother of all golden bb's (hit by a torpedo that went through a hole made by another)

Atlanta's are tougher than they look, both ships took an utter pounding before sinking. USS Atlanta ate one maybe as many as three Type 93s forward, plus she took some friendly fire from Frisco, these ships are actually pretty damn tough.

Kirishima's just telling the story of how she fell hopelessly in love with Washington that night in Ironbottom sound.
Hey, "abreast" is a perfectly reasonable naval term.
They're already in the straights of Florida right now. They'll be out in the gulf by the time Alaska's fleet sorties. Also, getting a max-range hit with Long-lances is almost impossible, even during the night. Doing it during the day when the enemy will see you turning over to drop your fish, and be able to dodge them miles in advance will be downright impossible.
The destroyers would have to close the range. And then Atlantas with their stupid amounts of 5in/38s come int play.

Possibly, the flyboys could expect to nail one, maybe two. Or even a couple hits. Atlanta's aren't the toughest CLs out there, and the weapons are so close together, that one hit could expect to knock out two or three turrets, if it hits right. Or, we could have the DDs flood the area with torpedoes, that's how we lost Atlanta and Juneau in the first place. Is this fleet tough, yes. Insurmountable? Nope.

I just said that they're tougher than they look.
But here's the thing. Both sank. Atlanta due to uncontrollable flooding and severe damage after Frisco accidentally shot her, and Juneau probably got sliced in half by the torpedo that I-26 aimed at her torpedo wound.*
*And those torpedoes were actually aimed at Frisco, but regardless, hit Juneau instead and sank her in, again, less than thirty seconds.

just to point out I-26 wasn't aiming for Juneau she was aiming for San Fran and missed.
speaking of Franny, its probably a good thing these things didn't show up off of Seattle...

sorry its just that I spent a lot of time researching Guadalcanal 1 for my quest. Kind of like being able to use that knowledge for once.

I've got one, but it's a really neat shelf decoration so you can't have it.
That's correct. However, it doesn't change the fact that Juneau was also limping home for repairs with a broken keel as well.
That being said....

Nah, just an Iowa. She's got four boilers running when she's idling. If she was really angry and using all eight, her heartbeat would be even more complicated.
Guilty as charged!
It's hard to tell from the recon photo.
I wonder, would this count as cruel and unusual?
