"There's another one of you subtheives running around?" Goto scowled and rubbed at his temples. While a rouge American subgirl wasn't at the top of his list of waking nightmares, it was up there. Those boats had played hell with Japan's economy during the war, and this time they didn't even have to do all the damage themselves.

While I'm sure all the shipgirls at Goto's base getting all fancied up with rouge and wanting to take him on a date does qualify as a walking nightmare for him, I'm pretty sure in this case a rogue American shipgirl is more what he's worried about.

You've got a great story going here and I feel like I'm being a downer making my post in this thread about a typo, but this one really bugs me.

Archerfish had a movie career. She played Sea Tiger in Operation Petticoat. And was, in the course of the film, painted pink.

Hmm? I read that Balao herself was painted pink, while Archerfish was used for interior shots.


(Balao (pink) and Archerfish)

I wonder, is there any chance for 9in the future) Balao become friends with Nevada over it.

 
Oh, in that case I would have expected to see it as "While a rouged Amercian subgirl" as the verb form of the word. Technically, I don't think there is an adjective version of 'rouge' as you have used it?

I'm not an english major or a writer though, so I'll leave it at that.

Spoiler: Extra: Musashi's bento
Amidst his daily grind of paper work, Admiral Goto was treated to the sound of one of the American sub girls scooting down the hall with two steel drums over her shoulders, laughing her ass off, and a short time later, a bellowing Musashi came thundering after her.
"GET THE FUCK BACK HERE AND GIVE ME MY FOOD!"
"HAHA! Can't catch me Mushy-tits! Musashi's too faaaaat, Musashi's too faaaaat."
"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I AM GOING TO SHOVE YOU DOWN THE BARREL OF MY GUNS AND USE YOU AS AMMO!"
Before Goto could get up and stop it, the boisterous voice of USS New Jersey made itself known.
"What in Nimitz's name do you think you're doing Musashi?"
"The little shit stole my food!"
"Your point? Just get more from the kitchens."
"I was going to share it with you, including all the pies left on base!"
Goto was then treated to the sound of two battleships and a destroyer wolfpack thundering after a hiding submarine.
He sighed, and picked up the ringing phone to answer his college's call about just what the crisis was now.
 
you know I wonder how long the line is going to be in abyssal hell for abyssal that are going to want tactical uboat princesses head on a plate for sinking Wisky.

Let's see their is probably the crews of those OHPs that were escorting her for certain, probably the crews of the two AEGIS Cruisers that were with her, Jersey of course -I am still not going to be the one to deliver the "To whom it may concern" letter no way in hell-, Alaska and Company, not to mention just about every single ASW Plane and Helicopter driver who is assigned to the Atlantic. I think that about covers it, at least to my knowledge.

That's pretty damn long. Over four hundred people plus a couple of Kanmusu.
 
Epic win and awesome will be when Samuel B Roberts gets her Kai Ni. Word gets around that she's the number one battleship in the world thanks to Jersey and one of Naka's streams. So of course one of the old pre-dreds like Capitan Prat or armored cruiser Blucher gives her a spare 9.4 inch gun, which is promptly sawed off to make it Sammy portable. Someone then has Army of Darkness on for movie night and Sammy now has a catch phrase "This is my Boomstick!" Hence, it looks like she is hauling a 3 inch pack howitzer around as part of her rigging. Heck it could even make a good side story while the main story goes off into island hopping.

The Tommy Gun was the Trench Broom.

the tommy gun had dozens of nicknames
Trench broom, street sweeper, Chicago typewriter, Chicago Piano (shared with the 1.1 inch AA gun found on pre war designs), organ grinder, the chopper...
 
Model 1896 Ithaca pump shotgun was also known as a street sweeper, and a sawed off side by side "coach gun" was known as a street howitzer even before that.
 
The street sweeper, otherwise known as one of the worst shotguns ever, and should never be brought up in seriously because it is that bad.
 
got nothing on the street sweeper bit dating to the 1920's, though according to urban dictionary the term isn't specific to the Striker but rather all compact high rate of fire weapons.
though we could give Nautilus one of the suppressed M3's that the OSS developed during the war.

The "Trench Broom" nickname was also given to John Browning's M1897 pump-action shotgun, which was so deadly in WW1 that the Germans sought to have shotguns banned from combat. (It was also used by American troops to shoot grenades, and even mortar rounds, out of the air...)

just to keep AL from repeating himself, you got sources on that last part.
