Is currently applying Measure 32/d to his Allen M. Sumner.

Yeah, Measure 32 is a bitch.

Especially putting it on a 1/2400 scale mini Casablanca class CVE...or a 1/2400 scale John C Butler class...

Of course things are on hold due to me having surgery on my left hand tomorrow...

...joy...

Not when she can turn it into a story for the Taffies.

Yeah, I can see this:

*Jersey and the Taffies are escorting a convoy*
Hoel: *Sighs* I'm bored.
Yudachi: Poi?
Heermann: Let's sing a song!
Johnston: *Excited* Yeah! *Sings* Puff the Magic Shipgirl...
Musashi: *laughing* I, Musashi, approve of this!
Jersey: *Scowling* I hate all of you.
*Everyone else giggles*

Are you sure she won't kick your ass for that?

I am very sure that Jersey knows about the Douglas AC-47 Spooky. She'd probably be amused to be compared to it.

Actually, that wasn't the origin of it.

Also everyone calling her that.
Taffies: Hey Puff! Time for UNREP!
Jersey: Not until you call me by my actual name.
Taffies: Puff the Magic Shipgirl? *giggles*
Jersey: EEEERRRNNNTT! Try again cockbite.
Taffies: Yes, mom...
*Jersey blushes*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crowding: So, I see you got a new name, Puff. *chuckles*
Jersey: STFU...

Which has been applied to many miniguns over the years. Which the AC-130 has.

Oh that's where I heard of it first. But it still wasn't the origin.
I'm also thinking of some of the destroyers getting a hold of Jersey's rigging and painting dragons on the barrels. Also doing this:
*Jersey has just fired and is blowing compressed air out of her barrels*
Taffy 3: Puff!
Jersey: *sigh* I'm never going to outlive this, am I?
Everyone: Nope!

As long as the dragons are black I don't see why she'd mind. Besides, dragons are badass, duh.

Puff the Magic Shipgirl lived by the sea
And she loved to joke at the big rack of a girl called Musashi~ xD

Jersey will have a lot of 'splainin' to do when Wisky is summoned.

Poor girl's not gonna know what's going on.

I can imagine Whisky being given the option of where to serve and reviewing the choices :

Japan- "Burning Love!! Dess!!" "Poi!" "Bring back my pants!"

West Coast- "If you're drunk, it' your own fault." "I'mmm Naakkkeeeddd!!!"

Gulf Coast- "You're back! Wanna hug my boyfriend? He's cute! Lets play cars!"

East Coast- "NARWHALS! NARWHALS! SWIMMING IN THE SEA......"

Whisky: Is Lend-Lease still an option?

landcollector · Oct 13, 2017

Whisky's a weeb, so imo she'd jump at the chance to be stationed at Sasebo or Yokosuka, for example.

Sure. Australia's lead by a practical jokester, England has two of it's major ships engaging in a pissing contest, Sweden's just f*cking weird, and the Mediterranean Fleet is a hodge-podge of oddballs, some of whom are still stuck in the rivalries of the past.

...Really doesn't improve things, does it?

MagisterAurelius · Oct 13, 2017

Or, hop wherever strikes Wisky's fancy. The US still hasn't signed the Treaty of Paris, so a Letter of Marque and Reprisal could be an option.

A privateer battleship sounds like an interesting story in its own right.

Especially when you consider that the Iowas are the final word in battleships. They can out-shoot just about anything you send after them. And if J can hold 36 knots, or about 40 mph, for six hours, you will never catch them. And she was on a shakedown cruise after being in mothballs for a decade.

PAGDTenno · Oct 13, 2017

35 knots, while lightly loaded. Which is a condition they will never be while fighting.

33 knots is still faster than any other battleship ever, and faster than a lot of battlecruisers. Hell, it's faster than some WW2 cruisers!

Dirtnap · Oct 13, 2017

Most, barring the IJNs cruisers.

Most USN designs topped out at around 32.5 knots under full load. IJN designs usually ran around 33-35 knots iirc. RN designs were 30-32 knots. French and Italian cruisers were faster though endurance was a factor for them.

In the other hand, battleships (and most modern warships) are resource intensive. Using them will be very expensive, and even arguable if raiding anything sans well-stocked city fort, without defense, will actually gave you any profit.

Except when they run on cheeseburgers. (And in Wiskey's case, a truly unreasonable amount of pocky.)

We need art of Pacific!Wiskey chewing on pocky while being seductive.
No, I'm not doing that.

Preferrably with cat ears as she does so.
