Belated Battleships (KanColle) [REHOST]

Five days. If anyone is wondering it takes five days reading with only minimal interrupts in order to read just the threadmarks. Having read a few pages here and there I can honestly claim to have spent about forty hours in the last five days doing nothing but reading this. It is gloriously hilarious. Now I'm stuck wishing Canada had ever had battleships..... :(

As an aside, there's a thread over on SB which has a Canadian Battleship...

The way I figure, first-generation shipgirl kids would be regular people with the characteristics of their mother. Jersey's daughters would be blond bombshells with legs for days and a tendency towards muscle mass and exceptional hips. They'd be as strong as a human woman could ever be, but not super human like their mother, and they'd age--very gracefully, but age--unlike her.

Huh, I would have thought that one of them would be a certain nuclear Submarine...

It's always mildly awkward at best when someone ends up bringing whoever they're dating to meet their family. It's even more so when they pack a bunch of large-caliber guns and (usually) have larger-than-life personalities. God help whoever lands Hiei or Kirishima.

Don't forget Haruna... They might let their guard down because Haruna is, compared to her sisters, normal.

How is that a thing? The closest we've ever come to having a battleship was WW1 when we considered buying a couple of... I think they were QE-Class battleships from the British.

Originally got started in the KC idea thread (there's a few snippets for it on this site as well). But basically, when Canada tried to get a new Cruiser to replace Niobe we got convinced to buy one of the Admiral class under construction (Rodney as a matter of fact). She was launched and served as HMCS Canada right up to the Korean War after which she became a museum ship... until she woke up as a shipgirl.

Captain Richard Knight was an armor officer, and a Marine armor officer at that. He was practically legally required to treat the navy as nothing more than a glorified, inexplicably homosexual taxi service that hauled the real heroes and took far more than their fair share of the credit once the dust settled.

Remember, Rich: My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment. :V

But you're a tanker, even if you're a jarhead, so you're forgiven. Now go show the Island Princess what a real tank looks like.

"No fucking ROE," said Knight. Rules Of Engagement were the bane of a Marine's existence. Constantly second-guessing yourself and everyone around you, fighting an enemy who hid in a crowd when every mistake would be broadcast large to a public ready to pass judgement was hell.

Sometimes ROE aren't so bad. My Battalion's ROE in OIF I, in 2003 were: "If it moves, kill it. It might have been hostile." That was from LTC Sanderson's own mouth. :)

And in Ramadi, 2005, the ROE was "If a guy's looking at the FOB and doing anything but breathing, drop him, that's hostile intent."

LilithPrime is.... umm, she'd be a 22"-er? :V
Then again, she's as American as Jersey.

Even if you have free ROE, it's not as... liberating as killing Nazis. Because they're literal demon nazis from hell. Literally no amount of overkill will be frowned upon.

At the same time, they are assaulting an island held by demon Nazis from Hell. And considering that the Abyssals have been pulling out creations that never made off the drawing board, there is a wide potential array of pure hell waiting for the marines even after the bombardment. Of course it can't be too big since she's a lesser Princess.

My vote is flamethrowers/mortors/grenade launchers utilizing Substance N. Well that's what the Germans called the program investigating the material's military capabilities. The rest of us know it as Chlorine trifluoride. Now IRL the chemical was never used because A: it was just too dangerous and B: they couldn't produce enough quickly enough for it to be viable.

The Abyssals don't have that problem.

Uh... Actually, everything they've pulled has existed in some form off paper. Even Habbakuk had a scale model built,

Alternatively? We see the Abrams fighting Maus.

OTOH, In 3 weeks I'm going to be in Baghdad, killing ISIS assholes, which is almost as good. :)

I'd say better- Nazi's mostly knew how to aim. I say mostly because the SS sent the averages all to hell.

Well, that can only end well; and by end well I mean laughing as the Maus shoots once and then shoots again three days later.

And there were tests done with substance N with multiple tons of the stuff made.

I guess I should have been clearer when I said 'drawing board'. In that the designs were made and tests might have done, but they never saw full production or were used on the battlefield to any real extent.

AMB: Abyssal Magical Bullshit.
What's a tank that's super-slow and dies to a 500lb bomb, but has armor thick and sloped enough it can't be frontally penetrated and a gun that'll kill any tank in service from over 2k away? A damn hard tank to kill by anything not a plane.

Basically, you want to talk Belated Battleships Leveling Effect, Tank Edition, I'm game.
 
Sure the Abyssals could try pulling someone like the Ratte 1000. The problem is that a tank that big wouldn't be able to get out of any bunker for it designed to survive naval bombardment.
