This chapter just has so much adorableness and HNNNGG inducing cuteness in it! Everything about it is just so-*turns into giant sugar-cube*.
Though since something wonderful has just happened to Gale, then something's probably going to happen once she and Wash get back to base. Some kind of chaos is going to end up happening sooner or later since this is Gale we're talking about here. Chances are it might be something that'll have some of us laughing like a loon.
...Wait a moment.
This chapter has been really sweet and adorable in regards to what's happened to/with the ship girls and humans involved. I now have this inexplicable feeling of dread in regards to whats going happen in the next few chapters. I don't know why, but this feels like the calm before the storm to me.

So, anyone want to place bets on what, exactly, is going to come down the slips when Wash and/or Mutsu and/or Kongou get to it? I'm putting money on a LHD (angry marines+ carrier), a Helicopter Destroyer with F-35B as a Kai Ni, and a SSBN respectively.

Admit nothing. Deny everything.Was wondering when someone'd notice @theJMPer's tonal pattern.
Don't forget, Jane's mandated Mutsu have twins. Triplets, if possible.

Well, I never specified numbers of classes, just hull type. That said, though, destroyers are like cookies. You never build just one- you make a batch. And when they get done with the oven, you make another batch, right up until you run out of batter, ingrediants for batter, and wood for the oven.

That won't work. That's just making it slightly more convoluted. Magic Sparkly Shipgirl Bullshit will find a way.
Also, fyi, a vasectomy just disconnects everything- so the material is still there unless they fuck it up. On a more serous note for everyone here, though- don't make jokes about a botched vasectomy; as destruction of the normal means of producing testosterone can lead to violent mood swings, abrupt change of behavior, depression, and other assorted physical and mental affects. I've got family in that boat, and I've seen a mild engineer go to serial killer in 36 hours due to issues with his artificial testosterone.

And on another note, there's another thing that came to my mind when reading the latest chapter: The lifespan problem.
I have no idea if it has been brought-up before or not, but if memory servers me correctly (which I really don't trust it to) can't shipgirls in this story basically live for possibly hundreds of years? If that is correct, then wouldn't any pairing between a shipgirl and a human eventually end in tragedy? I mean unless MSSB has a solution, then any relationship between a shipgirl and a human will always end in tragedy of long life? And that isn't even counting what other things could do in the human partner. After all, when compared to even a destroyer, we humans are remarkably frail creatures. I can't imagine how somebody like Jersey or Wash would handle outliving their significant other, let alone Mutsu outliving Richardson......
Or Ari outliving Jane....
I am sorry for dropping the feels atomic bomb on you guys, but it is something to think about. And I suddenly have the feeling that enough naval ordinance is being pointed at me to reduce a small country to a smoking crater.

Whose to say that the shipgirls will even exist once the Abyssals are dealt with? They appeared thanks to MSSB, whose to say that they will stick around after they are unneeded? MSSB may make them just disappear as they appeared. Suddenly.
It has been brought up, yes.
That would be a significant downer ending, one I can't see this story ending on.

Well, what I didn't show was what Kongou did next.
... I don't think I can make an SV-appropriate joke out of that.
Duly noted.
Well, that matter is not unfamiliar to the thread, and to me. I don't know about other quests/stories or the fanfic ideas thread, but that did get brought up right quickly over in Ad Astra per Aspera. The thread 'consensus' was that they either remained single, or remarried.
Unless your Kongou. Then you keep having babies non-stop with Hubby's old sperm and the miracles of future science genetics.

Hmmm... suspicions about Wash...
Once again, Washington has snuck up on a Kongō class battleship and blindsided them. Sorry Kongō, you will not be the first mom.
Damn, Wash is getting good at doing that.
Also, if the possible kids are boats, then the moms will have something to remember them by. Except Jane, because that would be icky and wrong.

Perhaps whatever MSSB had brought shipgirls into the world to fight Abyysals might just take the 'ship' part out of them and just leave them as normal humans after the Abyssals have been dealt with.
Nope, just being a realist here. Sorry if I did end up giving some folks death anxiety, but it is a legitimate concern. While I'm at it I may as well just say that I have a bad feeling that one of our human characters is going to end up getting hurt in the upcoming chapters.
I'm only really just bringing up only because of the fact that a lot has actually gone well in recent chapters for everybody. A little too well. If there's one thing more powerful than MSSB in this story, then it would be Murphy's Law. The longer things go well in this story, the bigger the anvil dropped on someone's head will be. And considering just how well things have being going recently, that's a mighty big anvil that's going to be dropped. Which thus leaves us with the question of, 'Who will have Murphy's anvil dropped on their head?'.
Toodles.

It is a war after all, and you know what the say, 'War is hell'. Or it could be something not related to the war at all, like slipping on ice or getting sick. On one hand, it would be cute seeing shipgirl nursing their significant other back to being well. On the other hand it could be a nerve racking experience considering that, oh say if Jane fell sick...well she does live in Japan and the Abyssals still have a stranglehold on humanity, and considering Japan's lack of natural resources and the limitedness of convoys, things could go south quick. Doesn't help that somebody like Jane, who is very young, is especially vulnerable to getting sick. On a third tentacle, it would be interesting to see just how our beloved ships would react to their significant other getting hurt because of Abyssal actions. On the forth tentacle the sight of an enraged Arizona, Hiei, Mutsu, and Jintsuu is the stuff of nightmares. On the fifth tentacle, the image of Wash's calm and kinda stoic exterior being replaced by an expression of absolute pure fury is something which even I dare not to think about, for it is the stuff which is too nightmarish for a mere mortal to imagine. The less said about what kind of face our favorite Iowa-class battleship would make if something happened to Crowning, the better.

Oh, I hope Wash did see all the models, and plans to gently tease Gale about them.
I dropped back laughing at this one. Talk about handy signaling!
The Marine's expression is probably something like this: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh My, Wash... already? I'm reasonably sure if you ask Gale that, she'll faint.

My pet theory is that when the war is over, the girls try and hold on to life, but as the years pass and their friends and family push forward in life, they slow down. Each day gets a little harder, their steel more stiff and boilers more ornery.
Kongou would be the first, I imagine. Her daughters and granddaughters would be peaceful, the war over, Goto passed on. It would be a short talk to her own grandmother, Mikasa, before Kongou herself would lay herself down to rest on the concrete and stone in the plaza, Goto's ashes resting at the foot of her glass tomb. Mothballed, asleep for decades or centuries, she would rest there waiting for her time to come again. Across the world, ships would go to rest in their hallowed halls, their ferrous reminders dotting the land with their loved ones last remains serving as guards of honor, no matter the form.
When the Abyss returns, so will they. Until then, they will rest the sleep of heroes, sure that their next awakening will be for the entry to their next battle.

Well, shipgirls are not exactly good on decision making or impulse control when it comes to... emotional attachments.

The original idea was mothballing the ships, putting them in reserve. Less helpless princess, more calm warden.
