Pennsylvania is a Standard. They are neither fancy nor subtle in how they destroy a target.

To be fair, that's a normal reaction to at least half of what the more rambunctious destroyers do.
But yeah. I've got an angle to work on Pennsy and I think it'll be a good one. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it!
*some point in the future*
Pennsy: You don't know how long I've waited. How I've dreamed of this moment. This chance.
Kaga: *nods resolutely* ...Do what you must.
Pennsy: Oh, I intend to.
Kaga: *lake'd*
Oh. Ow. Right in the copyright! XD
Well, she-
She's this. XD
A Standard is many things. A warship. A symbol. But above all else. A Standard is inevitable.

That fits. A friend of mine once referred to them as "Doom Turtles," because while they may not move very quickly, best of luck sinking them before they get close enough to do some serious damage to you.

@Old Iron Wonderful update, and its good to see Pennsy defrosting a bit. Poor ducky though, into the lake with ye, but at least she's in her natural environment. :lol
Is it a bad thing when I see lil slice-of-life posts updates like that, that I immediately think of shenanigans?
I don't know how they'd do it or where they'd find skates sturdy enough to hold her up, but I wouldn't put it past Jane or Shimakaze to Celebrate Ari-mama coming out from her refit; by roping her into going roller skating with them. And whatever kind of chaos that'd follow.
If the idea wasn't there before, It is now

And for once she'll know what's it's like to be a fast battleship. But if Ari gets carried away with her new found mobility and there's any sort of wall nearby, she'll also know what it's like to be the Kool Aid Man.

Aye. Maybe for extra comedy Richardson is on the other side of the wall going by at the moment of Standard impact. Wall stops most of her momentum, still has enough to crash into the admiral and end up in a somewhat compromising position.
:lolMaybe Mutsu's there and gives a witty, maybe snarky remark about Ari "Learning from Hiei's example on being forward with your feelings" or something along those lines
D (Since when did we start thinking of ways to bully standards?)But just imagine Jersey finding a pair of Roller Skates that doesn't break under her feet. It'd be a Perfect chance to show off the strength of her legs... and maybe Race a sports Car on land.
Though if she goes too fast and then ends up going down a hill... well if she doesn't fall over and carve out a trench in the pavement before reaching the bottom of said hill, if she were to collide with a parked Tank at the bottom. There'd be a perfect Jerjer sized impression on the side of the somewhat crumpled (or perhaps 'Sedan T-boned by Semi-truck') tank... and one stuck Battleship. Bonus points if the Tank is Army and the Army has to get her unstuck.
Extra Bonus Battleship bullying points if the Tank belongs to the Marines and the Marine Corps are the ones who yank her out. (If you get why, a brownie for you.)

That's pretty cool. Nicely done!Aaaannnddd...I finished a thing...
Though Hiei wouldn't have made it look like an accident. Dohoho~Maybe Mutsu's there and gives a witty, maybe snarky remark about Ari "Learning from Hiei's example on being forward with your feelings" or something along those lines
Since Ari developed a sense of humor I would wager. XD

If 'bully=tease mercilessly', then yes. If 'bully=harass', no.

That depends of what your standard for a "good idea" is

That's implying shipgirls have any balance on skates, be they on wheels or blades. Might be it's just similar enough to sailing that they inherently default to their 'water skating' reflexes, but just different enough that none of said reflexes work a damn.

Mutsu, Ari, and all of them tease each other in good humor.
Though Ari needs a lot more practice. She's not very skilled at it yet.
There's a horrible pun in there. XDThat depends of what your standard for a "good idea" is

I just realized something about the theory about Jane's mom being Langley CV-1. If that is the case, Jane would be Langley CVL-27, not a shipyard Installation.

SecNav help us when the day comes when she's as skilled as Mutsu.
And I fear, that day might not be long away, if Ari practices her teasing like how she did gunnery drills!

I am unsure if I should get the van or not...
Ah, but Mutsu is not one to rest on her laurels~SecNav help us when the day comes when she's as skilled as Mutsu.

Deploy the van, but just have it drive by, keep him guessing.
