Changing Destiny (Kancolle)

And to interact with people, shipgirls have to be seen/believed in first.

Ergo, King can actually see her. Or believes enough that she can interact with him physically.
 
@ German navy running to America,

is it bad that I want a Thompson/Schreiber reunion scene ala Dutch/Dillion from Predator?

"Schreiber!"

"Thompson!"

"What's the matter? The Kriegsmarine got you pushing too many pencils?"

"It's not my fault I came back as an old man!"
 
So, if the Kriegsmarine does make a run to neutral United States, what happens when the United States and Germany go to war? Would the US Navy take the German ships like Britain did in World War 1 with the Reşadiye class Battleships meant for the Ottoman Empire? Where would they use them? I don't think any of the Kriegsmarine girls have the legs needed to operate in the Pacific, and if they operated in the Atlantic as escort ships, well, I think a certain small man with the weird mustache would have standing orders to have them sunk.

That of course supposes that the US Navy just doesn't scuttle them, which would be interesting proof of concept of how to deal with ships, now that we know that the ships are sentient and look like women/girls.
The USN of 1941/42 would not dispose of Biskie, Pringles, or Blücher. While they don't have the legs to really be effective in the Pacific, you still have a fast battleship and two heavy cruisers at a time when both quantities are in short supply. Most likely, they would be assigned to operate with Ranger in the Atlantic, since even Biskie is fast enough to keep up with CV-4. Doing so would protect them from any efforts Adolf makes to have them sunk, and it would free up a battleship and two heavy cruisers for operations in the Pacific--and given that operations in the Solomons devoured cruisers at an alarming rate, being able to transfer two CAs (or even CLs!) from screening Ranger would be most welcome.

It's entirely likely, should the German ships be interned in US ports when Germany declares war on the US, that we'd see USS Bismarck BB-72, USS Prinz Eugen CA-84, and USS Blücher CA-88 quickly commissioned into US Navy service. (Why those hull numbers? Biskie's is the next available battleship number, as the orders have been placed for all six Iowas and all five Montanas as of the start of the war; the cruiser numbers are ones freed up when two Cleveland-class CLs, the Buffalo and Newark were cancelled to let their shipyard concentrate on destroyer production, with the ships reordered from another yard as CL-99 and CL-100... both of which were then re-reordered as CVLs, but that part isn't too relevant! Why not IX-series hull numbers, following Pringles's RL IX-300 numbering as a war prize? Because that's "Unclassified Miscellaneous," and not used for ships intended as combatants!)
 
Nah, he can probably see her now. Not because he cares about her, mind, but because he is absolutely determined to tear her a new asshole.

Yep, I pity Skipjack right now. Because know what's going to happen to her in the next chapter, Admiral King is going to tear her a new asshole. Somehow I think that Admiral Stark will either be slightly amused or curious and will likely ask a severely rattled Skipjack as to why did she take Admiral King's wallet?
 
Do not scuttle the Pringles! Pringles are for hugs and headpats and non-treaty compliant wonder. And so is Blucher. And Bissy. But Bissy invites conflicting feelings as well.
 
No scuttle the Pringles, is what you're saying?

...ah, but can one bully the Pringles? :p
 
I'm surprised Skipjack didn't take everyone's wallet in that short exchange.
How do you know she didn't? King is the only one who checked his wallet, so we don't know if the others still have theirs.

She's a subthief. She will not change her ways, nor will she be available for chewing-out. Never underestimate the ability of submariners to do what they want.

Yeah, but then again. Something tells me that Admiral King will be in such a rage. That not even submariner could hide safely. this is Admiral King we are talking about.
 
Reading about USS Bismarck has me imagining a crossover ala Indestructible Spirit where Indestructible meets Kongō OTL. Only in this case USS Bismarck, USS Constitution (Kongō from New Ironsides), and USS Montana (Yamato from Eternity) and all their respective transferred ships arrive in the OTL for America, and a foreign Admiral asks why the United States stole all the ships.

Because apparently in America we take care of all the ship girls.

They were gifts. If you get my drift.

Everyone else besides Stark and King probably were smart enough not to have their wallets on board by now.
