See, that's exactly the kind of reaction I was gunning for! Glad to know I hit it off just right!
Hahaha. You most certainly did. XD
You know, I was considering posting only that part with a note saying "Writer's block/busy/etc, sorry. Have some slice-of-life gooeyness while I work." And then post the real stuff a bit later. But I decided against.
And we thank you for it.
And Naka's fun to write. I haven't seen much of her doing PR stuff, and even less where she's being portrayed as decent about it..
You do a good job with her. She's a character that has been really easily flanderized into something less than appealing. Her 4-2-11 didn't help in the slightest. This is nice to see.
To be fair to Lady J, she was summoned to the Admiral's office, it's not like she was barging in without asking or anything. And she does need her food, you wouldn't want the poor thing to starve, would you? Who would the taffies momboat then?.
Very good point. And we cannot have Jersey starving. The Taffies need theri momboat. :3
Nagato always needs a drink. She's a prim and proper military lady on a base with Kongou sisters. Watch the Anime, all her scenes are either "Intense military duties" or "I hate my life. I hate you and I hate my life." (The later usually happens while Mutsu's laughing her ass off in the background.)
I remember those scenes. Nagato cannot catch a break of any sort. :D

Methinks we should get her a few crates of the really good stuff and a day pass for her to just not have to deal with this bollocks.
Oh, and Iku would like to remind you that "lewd" isn't what you do as much as it is a way of life.
Hmm... I must reflect upon this wisdom...
Arizona: *UNINTELLIGIBLE PRUDE RAGE*
I've been teasing it for a while, and quite a few people on SB guessed it as soon as the Convoy encountered it. The Habakkuk's actually a surprisingly good fit for Hoppo. Lives in the far north, carries aircraft... wears white.
Never thought of it that way. Huh. That's a really good fit now that I think about it.
She didn't have decaf, so there's less foot-in-mouth. I had to choose Musashi 'cause Yamato's too dang prim and proper to hang out with Jersey the living, cursing wrecking ball.
Poor Yamato would probably pass out after a good ten minutes of uncut Jersey. XD

Musashi really works here.


SENDAI'D
And that was the exact same pic I was uploading. XD
 
I was just about to post the Mobile Resource Extraction Base that is Prelude FLNG, but that's not a ship, its a mobile base for liquid natural gas.

Also, Jersey pride, Pork Roll for life. USA and all that.
 
San Francisco : Oh. Oh shite.

Now I wish New Hampshire was here, but I don't think she made it over the jump... and even if she did, I'd rather have her Fleet of Fog version than this. This thing... will not go gently into the night.
 
Again, we need to lure the escorts away, have our cruisers deal with the fighters long enough to drop some MOABs and some JDAMS. That way, we can sink it 100%, and if the bombs don't work, Jersey and Mushashi can at least damage its flight deck enough to force a retreat. Unless it has regeneration, in which case, you all know how to stop that.
 
Vote time! Who's hotter, Lady J or Miss "What are bras?"
YES.

I rather have the Deadalus from Stargate with her Asgard upgrades. And no we are going need a whole lot more AA guns, plus several fleet carriers.

San Fran : Do we even know what kind of planes these bastards are launching off their decks? I certainly don't want to be dealing with jet fighter knockoffs. Did any of the recee divs find anything conclusive about their air strength?

San Fran : IIRC the Fleet of Fog New Hampshire has C-wizz emplacements everywhere, and her 127s fire just as fast. Her big guns are rapid fire, and they shoot out MURDERBEEMS that melt through everything. Not to mention her Tomahawk boxes and her VLS arrays. That can spam missiles and torpedoes like there's no tomorrow.

Now here's an important question; can we use thermite on the thing? If we can, could we melt the target?
 
I imagine the sub girls would be very attracted to stealth games, and if given an open-world game they'd have a propensity to try to do things as stealthily as possible when on the attack.

Sub girls are very good players, but boring to watch. >_>

Iowa: Who says good can't be exciting? A certain Stewart found this:



She also finds this one appropriate for destroyers:



(How does Stewart deal with the whole simultaneously IJN/USN thing anyways?)
 
Now here's an important question; can we use thermite on the thing? If we can, could we melt the target?

Melting wouldn't work, unfortunately. Pykrete is used because it's very resistant to melting. I mean, thermite would melt it for sure, but it's just too damn thick for that to work in any reasonable timeframe.

Plasma beams...

Thermit will work but you will need a lot of it. A shitload of it, weighing as much as a fully load battleship, Iowa/Yamato class weight size of it...

San Francisco : Damn it!

There goes loading up our 203s and 406ers with incendiary weapons and melting the fucker to pieces.


Now, can we disable it, or is it also impossible to do so? Drop its engines, then drop everything our naval air force has in its inventory on it? Making it a sitting duck in the water should certainly make it easier to hit, and if we take out its escorts (which we can certainly do) it should be fine.

... I hope that my own AA systems are ready for this. I'm not letting anyone else die. No more.
 
Here's an utterly unofficial Omake thing for you bunch:


____________________________________________________________________________________________

Sitting in a beach chair, the Japanese woman looked up as the American one sat a pail full of ice and beers next to the neighbouring beach chair. "Ugh, I fucking hate this. When the hell are they going to use us!?" Grabbing one of the bottles, she practically ripped the top off and then guzzled it. With a grunt, she tossed the bottle. "Seriously though, all this sitting on a beach on our asses is pissing me off."

As she flipped a page in her book, the other woman only sighed. "... Must I-"

The other woman cut her off and rolled her eyes. "I know, I know. But still. Fuck the Admirals, fuck the pencil pushers, fuck the goddamn motherfucking politicians who stuck us here being guarded by a bunch of jarheads!" Several moments passed before she turned in her seat and blinked at the raised eyebrow the Marine was giving her. "No offense."

Used to it, he only shrugged. "Don't sweat it, ma'am."

Still annoyed, the American woman reached over to the plate of hotdogs and scarfed one down as she adjusted her swimsuit. Of course, she did try to ignore how she was practically washboard flat even without being compared to the busty beauty beside her. Eating another hotdog, she waved around the empty bottle of beer. "Still, they should send the two of us out there. Hell, between me and you? We could probably solo the damn Abyssals just by ourselves."

Flipping another page, the Japanese woman only nodded. "Perhaps, though we would probably still go with escorts."

With a snort, the American reached for another beer. "Yeah, probably... you want some hotdogs or beer, Yamato?"

Yamato only shook her head as she held up a plate of fruits that was rather tall. "No, I, Yamato am fine. Also, I much prefer sake, Enterprise-san."

Sighing, USS Enterprise, CV 6, shook her head as she bit into another hotdog. "You don't know what you're missing, Yamato."

All Yamato did was smile at her friend in reply.
 
Oh man speaking of the habakuk
This is giving me Warship Gunner 2 flashbacks -_-;;

Where's my ridiculously wanked Kongo BBGN with a shitload of missiles and 12x 16-inch guns...

It's already much slower than a South Carolina-class BB (I hate it in World of Warships. Ugh) with a top speed of 7 knots.
 
San Fran, you are really making my "launch nukes from the surface and underwater" option look more and more attractive now. Stop that!

San Francisco : I suggested bringing over fully upgraded Fog USS New Hampshire, who is pretty much nigh-unstoppable in combat between her eight union cores and advanced weaponry. But the problem is, I don't know how to break the walls between universes. Nor do I intend to.

You can't really "drop its engines." The Habakkuk is turbo-electrically powered. Turbines spin generators, which then power something like 33 podded electric motors mounted around the hull. You might be able to knock off one or two, but there's so many of them.

And there's an absolute shitload of escorts.

Aaaaand, the Yamaprise shippers go wild. Poor E though, she doesn't have her Es...

Fog?
 

San Francisco : Fleet of Fog. Arpeggio of Blue Steel? Ah, it doesn't matter anyway.

... Well, seven knots is barely anything anyway, so we don't have to worry about that.

What we do have to worry about are the escorts.

Now, why can't we drop a nuke on it? Shouldn't the pressure crush the thing like tin-foil, or is this Abyssal version of pykrete insanely durable?

Take out escorts, then get out of dodge and drop a nuke or five on the target. Yes/no, or has that already been ruled out as too dangerous?
 
We've tried nuking ships before. We nuked Prinz Eugen and Nagato twice and it still took them days to sink. Nukes are surprisingly crap against armored warships.

Also, this fic is about cute battleships doing cute battlethings, not people in bombers pressing buttons.
 
Aaaaand, the Yamaprise shippers go wild. Poor E though, she doesn't have her Es...
Well, considering what they did to Arizona, what with trying to sideline her, you'd probably get something similar to what happened with Yamato in the anime in regards with Big E. And it's also kind of hilarious to consider a flat chested Enterprise. I mean, can you imagine what might happen if she was revealed to the others? Everyone, Americans and Japanese alike, expect this Amazonian woman, quite possibly busty... and get this lanky woman whose chest is smaller then some of the Destroyers.

San Francisco : Not even point-blank underwater detonation?

... Christ. Now what? I really don't fancy sacrificing anyone to kill this bastard.
