Actually, it was 19 Kageros and 19 Yugumos...Akigumo was the last of the Kagero-class.Let's count commissioned Japanese DDs in WWII:
21 Momi, -4 due to Momi, Kaya, Nashi and Warabi being scrapped or sunk beforehand, shoudl be considered
13 Minekaze
8 Wakatake
9 Kamikaze
12 Mutsuki
24 Fubuki/Ayanami/Akatsuki, -1 due to Miyuki's loss
6 Hatsuharu
10 Shiratsuyu
10 Asashio
18 Kagerou
1 Shimakaze
20 Yuugumo
16 Akizuki
18 Matsu
14 Tachibana (9 more planned)
Total 17 + 13 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 23 + 6 + 10 + 10 + 18 + 1 + 20 + 16 + 18 + 14 = 195 total destroyers in service, 204 planned.
If you count the Momi class being closer to corvettes (they were used as such) it's 178... and Matsu/Tachibana classes are much closer to Black Swans in displacement...
Meanwhile, the US produced:
2 Long Island
4 Avenger
45 Bogue
4 Sangamon
50 Casablanca
21 Commencement Bay (33 planned)
Total 126 (138 planned)
Of course, this was more than all Japanese ships bigger than destroyers, but then you add in the 11 light carriers (9 Independence and 2 Saipan) and... (Langley retired in early 1942)
2 Lexingtons
1 Ranger
3 Yorktowns
1 Wasp
24 Essex (32 planned)
3 Midway (laid down 1943)
Total 34 built in WWII, 42 planned
191 planned total aircraft carriers of all types for US, discounting seaplane tenders and such, compared to 204 Japanese destroyers
Hey, IF you count the Momi class as corvettes by this point, then the US had/had building more carriers in WWII than Japan had/had building destroyers.
EDIT: fixed forgetting to add the CVLs.
THere's a reason she wears the Yuugumo uniform though instead of the Kagerou one. She was a Kagerou in name only, as all the upgrades for the Yuugumos were on her as well right from the dock.
Anyway. While I'm still semi-functional (I completely fell apart when I got home, not going to lie. Headache, allergies, sleepy...) have:
The new outfit, not just the new posing. Featuring the splinter camo, as I said would happen months ago.
And a bonus:
The second one is just cute. >.>
(and the rare case where KC!Sara cosplays WSG!Sara instead of the other way around)
She looks ready for a date.
True.THere's a reason she wears the Yuugumo uniform though instead of the Kagerou one. She was a Kagerou in name only, as all the upgrades for the Yuugumos were on her as well right from the dock.
There's also this:It wasn't until some documents were recovered in the 1990s that Akigumo was discovered to be a Kagerou.
Looks more like a "Sunday finest" sort of outfit to me.
A boob window that makes Power Girl look inadequate is your idea of Sunday Finest?
Well, all except for that part, obviously.A boob window that makes Power Girl look inadequate is your idea of Sunday Finest?

you know, it's really impressive to me that Sara's dress still billows up like that, despite having several drum magazines strapped to it, which should weigh it down.
