Jersey can break a great many things.
The Fourth Wall is not one of them.

Mushi may take a while. And then there was Habakkuk.

DO YOU WANT TO BET YOUR LIFE ON THAT?!
I don't recall Mushi telling her that she couldn't do things... just that she couldn't do them as well as Mushi could.

Yeah. Jer isn't Deadpool.DO YOU WANT TO BET YOUR LIFE ON THAT?!
Plus, she's rather distractable by things like pie.

I now have the image of Kongou or someone tossing a pie for Jersey to "Fetch" now.

Nah. The obvious distraction is Zippo accidentally setting herself on fire. Again.
Poor Forrestal. First supercarrier ever, and what's she known for? Setting herself aflame.

She's one of Jersey's 'Nam buddies and she's a carrier. I don't feel safe making plans that involve her getting hurt even if I don't initiate the violence.

It's Zippo. It's not a matter of "if" she's going to set herself on fire, it's a matter of "when". Which is why you just make sure she's in the area, so that when the inevitable happens, Jersey is distracted.

Independence: Some of those better be for Big Sis. Unlike last time, when you ate all of them.

Meanwhile, Minitoga is napping as Lexie tells her a story.

Independence: *peeks in door, smiles at Lexie, and slips back out*
Wish I had someone like that. Oh well. *Hums softly on way to mess with Connie*
Why, you ask? Because after all my dad's stories about Independence, I feel like she loves messing with her Kitty Hawk-class sisters.

Just found out that my dad's old girl met Big E.
Kinda tempted to try my hand at writing them meeting.

Considering that she's managed to outlast all of her sisters and Connie probably. Of course it helps that her scheduled scrapping has been delayed by possibly months. To prep Independence for her date with the scrappers in Texas, her hull must be scrapped of its copper-based anti-fouling paint. The activists claim that copper paint is horrible for the water, yadda yadda so an injunction was placed. Never mind that all marine paint is heavy metal based....

... You know, sometimes the silliness of environmental activists amazes me. And their inability to do math. I'm gonna do some real fuzzy math, just to give an idea of the numbers.
(EDIT: If your math teacher asks, I did not say it's okay to do math this way)
Copper is present in seawater at .5-4.5 nmol/kg. Assuming both Independence's entire hull was made of copper and it dissolved entirely (61,000 t copper into 2.5 quintillion kg of water, or 55.3 million kg into 2.5 quintillion kg water, or 865 million moles into 2.5 quintillion kg.), the concentration of copper in the Gulf of Mexico would increase by .346 nmol/kg. Now, obviously, Independence's entire hull isn't made of copper, and the amount in her antifouling pain is probably under 200 tons. So the real increase would be around .001153 nmol/kg, which is a .2% increase in oceanic dissolved copper, assuming 100% leaching. Which is pretty fucking unlikely, because if it worked that way, antifouling paint wouldn't work.
