... You didn't mention that she's a catgirl. So she has cat ears?

Wait... flying catgirls who have magically powered mechanical parts that propel them around through the sky. Dear God, please tell me that they wear proper pants?!

Everybody needs to get a blimp
'Coz blimps are pretty pimp
You can fill them up with air
But that won't get you anywhere
Advertise upon the side
Take your girlfriend for a ride
Just fill up the balloon

I'm sure the girls can sing it as well as the Narwhal song since it's by the same people.

Originally they were just girls. Then I got fanart of their plushies with car ears, and I just rolled with it. (But yes, they wear pants.)

Besides Silver Grey Tabby is their other variations of what these Blimp Cats look like? For Example Calicos, Tortoiseshells, or Black Cats? Just curious.
Given the color of the actual blimps, it's probably silver grey tabby and bluepoint Siamese only, plus some random all-charcoal-greys.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I was actually rather curious. So let's see, we have Blimp Cats, Flower-class Corvettes in the form of Newfies, what's next for ship animals? American PT Boats in the form of American Grey Wolves, and British Motor Gun Boats in the form of Beagles or something like that?

Looks like the temptation of the Abyss was simply too great for Aquila to resist. Anger, hate, and suffering that is all the Abyssals seem to be about, at least in this story.

@Thorthemighty you have definitely forgotten what @theJMPer said some weeks ago and which I reminded you of last week:
Bolded for emphasis.
Now, fellow thread denizens, i think you all know that I have no great love for Thor. Believe me when I say that flipping out over his latest dunning-kruger episode is not helping. Yes, he's an idiot and annoying but that's not infractible or a problem. What is a problem is everyone losing their shot every time thor tries to backseat author or posts something stupid or ignorant. If we all keep this up, we're the ones eating infractions for being disruptive, because a whole buncha people dogpiling Thor over his stupidity is more disruptive than Thor posting something stupid.
As as much as it burns us all whenever Thor is wrong, let's all dial it down.
And Thor? Every time you post your ideas, every time you throw out analysis that theJMPer doesn't want, every time you try to backseat author, you show exactly how much respect you have for this story and this author:
None.
You can do better. We can do better.
Let's all do better.

Uh, Whiskey?
Thor's last few posts were on topic and recognizably within universe rules. A few capitalization errors and crimes against paragraphs, but much improved, and pretty good for Thor. Much less military fan boying and redundant explanation, thank God.
People've been gentle about corrections also.

I'm speaking in the agregate, not the specific, and furthermore it'll take more than a few drops of soap to wash the stains out.

I, for one, am going to try to give the kid positive reinforcement when he posts something that's actually on point (i.e. him talking about shipgirls, NOT modern weapons, and without doing anything that is utterly egregiously absurd).
He's done good sometimes lately. A number of times.
For it is written, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
I still need to work on the "not flipping out" thing too, but I respect what you're saying, Whiskey.

@Thorthemighty:
Yeah. A good paragraph is no more than four or five sentences long, as a rule, and those should NOT be long sentences. With long sentences, think in terms of two or three of them per paragraph.
To make matters worse, online people's browser windows tend to display very long individual lines of text. That means that a paragraph no taller than the ones you normally see in a book- say, ten lines of text- is two or three times longer than it appears. Too long.
Combine that with the fact that message boards don't support paragraph indentation, and it becomes VITAL to exercise discipline in controlling the lengths of your paragraphs. Otherwise, the reader is confronted with a huge, undifferentiated wall of text. They will generally not bother to even read what you write, then.
As a rule, every paragraph should communicate one significant idea, and take up 50-100 words. Less than 50 is acceptable. More than 100 is rarely a good idea, since it's not like having more paragraphs costs extra.
Furthermore, deliberately keeping paragraphs short, and limiting yourself to one significant idea per paragraph, is a good tool to do something else useful. It will keep your text from becoming puffy and bloated with extra words that aren't necessary. Which is ALSO an issue you should be working on to produce good writing.
When you're persistently, repetitively using terms like "German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper " when you could just say Admiral Hipper, or "this class of ship comes in at 897 feet 8 inches long, a beam of 105 feet even, and a draft of 30 feet 2 inches, whereas the Alaska class is only 808 feet 6 inches long, with a beam of 91 feet 9.375 inches, and a mean draft of 27 feet 1 inch or a maximum draft of 31 feet 9.25 inches. " when something compact like "this class of ship displaces ABC tons, whereas the Alaska class displaces XYZ tons" alone is enough to communicate the size difference adequately...
It's a problem. It means people pay less attention to what you say. And people who DO pay attention to what you say are being punished for doing so, by lots of superfluous information and words. Information and words that don't pull their own weight, don't contribute enough to the strength of your posts to justify the space they take up.
_______________________
Notice that (not counting this footnote) my post consists of 381 words divided into seven paragraphs of roughly 55 words each. The only reason the average is even that high is because of a big puffy padded phrase in the middle of my sixth paragraph... which was me quoting you.
You've done a good job on SOME of your recent posts, in terms of splitting paragraphs. You just need a little more consistency.

Hey @theJMPer during the first convoy run that Jersey, the Taffies, White, Naka, Yuudachi, and Fubuki made. What were the Abyssal Destroyers that Jersey munched on? What class to be specific, just sort of curious really, the same goes for the Armored Cruisers that Jersey munched on as well.
Because, let's see Jersey has munched on two Abyssal Kawachi class Semi-Dreadnoughts, three Abyssal Armored Cruisers of an unknown class, seven Abyssal Destroyers of an Unknown class, three Abyssal King George V class Fast Battleships, one shared Abyssal King George V class with Musashi, one Abyssal Northern Princess, and three Abyssal Panzerschiffs.
