When he visited the Midway with my brothers last summer, my dad saw Nimitz leaving the harbor. The carriers aren't long for the seas. Enterprise is going in the next few years. Even Britain's last carrier, Illustrious, is waiting on bids for scrapping.

Nuke-E is already at the scrapyard. Only place they could really pull her reactors, besides a drydock.
 
And in return for losing a fairly memorable ship (which is understandable, given most of engineering is probably more than a bit radioactive), we're getting Ford I hope they've worked out all of the bugs since I last saw anything, because having a carrier that can't actually launch fighters would be sad.

Honestly? Nuke E was due for retirement. She's old, and most of her systems are badly worn. It has nothing to do with her A2W reactors, or radiation in her engineering spaces. The sea is hard on the ships that sail her.

There's big nerds, and then there's Kanmusu. You distinguish them by the number and intensity of WWII-navy-related quirks an individual has.

Although really, Old Iron has been very deliberately dancing on the line between "can't tell if shipgirl, or just quirky female WWII military history geek" with Richardson's late wife. It's kind of the point.

Not in the 1970s she wasn't.

But we do have sufficient grounds to speculate that there may have been a few shipgirls bouncing around the world in the pre-Abyssal era, so it remains a valid fan theory. :)

It's a fun line to dance. I shall now laugh in a dastardly manner.

You know, one thing I've wound up wondering is whether or not any of the shipgirls play/have played Rule the Waves before. I imagine Naka might have, if only because she is the gaming shipgirl, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if somebody introduced it to the others eventually.

You know, I keep meaning to get into it, and then I'm like "Self, you already have plenty of ship fighting games. You don't need another."
