Changing Destiny (Kancolle)

Which brings another interesting point: right now the only Navy that has an officer that knows that sunk shipgirls can be summoned back is the USN. That is a very critical piece of information, as it gives a serious advantage to the USN, so when the brass are aware of it, it will be classified in all the ways they can think.
You forgot about our German friend. Hes not going to tell the Nazis though.
 
Actually, there's an idea. Thompson arranges a summoning ceremony, only they get ships from the Civil War era. That might make an interesting twist, having a bunch of sail girls and first gen ironclads being summoned, and yet still being somewhat relevant in the current war because they're fighting human opponents as opposed to magical super beings (for the most part).
 
"The ship has deemed the captain unfit for command."
Now I really want this to be a part of this fic, or at least that line (or a line like it) to appear.

If nothing else, they ought to be very hard targets to hit with ship artillery. And machine guns would still not do all that much against them.
 
"The world will once again know the might of a broadside."
- some Sailgirl that was managed to be summoned by the USN
Yes indeed... That's one mighty broadside. *looks at those big GUNs.*

*cue pound the pervert.*

you're looking at the wrong broadside. *looks at those booty.*

*punted to the next city.*


Both of you are perverts!!!

kappa.... XD

Lend them out to the Marine Corps? They might not be useful in modern naval combat, but that's a lot more firepower than a single soldier could carry around with them. USS Monitor would work just fine defending Henderson Field or the like.

Not really, those cannons don't have AP shells. Now ships from before WWI like from the Spanish American War for example would work.
 
pretty sure none of that is actually going to happen.
Of course not. Sky has enough in his plate as it is, and most likely he has already planned the next chapters.

Unless some of our crackish ideas inspire him in some way, don't expect any of this to be reflected in the story. But story-related speculation is always fun, and someone might write a decent omake out of that.

We've been down this road many a time before, and I haven't forgotten what 'story-related speculation' got us each time.
 
Chewed by Abyssals? Shot by Nazis? Crushed under the weight of FEELS? ...I'm new here...
Sky's pretty chill about most things, but he doesn't like his thread being used as a surrogate ideas thread. USS Nimitz traveling back, CV-6 and Cv-65 being the same entity, going deep into land war discussions, making lighter craft into shipgirls or ship-animals, the list goes on. Given this whole 'Civil War shipgirls' very clearly started as 'here's an idea', it's less an actual discussion of the fic, and more someone needing a creative crutch to pitch their own idea.

And I was trying to be subtle and nice about steering things back on-topic.
 
On topic silliness:
Engineer: Sara, why is there a partial miniture ship in Machine Room Three?
Sara: *massive blush*
Thompson: *thinks a moment, realizes* Lexington is going to kill me. And then Admiral Stark will resurrect me so he can kill me again.

<smiles, then puts a stern face>
No, no, no, NO.

Wrong fic. No lewds involved.

In the very unlikely case of lewds, it will be srs lwds, with lots of dramatic tension and feels. Did I mention it's very unlikely? Oh, I see I did. Very unlikely, as in "not happening".
 
And then there is Hachi's captain....

Who should have hanged, head down, over a slow fire, for his actions.

Even some of the IJN's own officers, post-war, quietly denounced him as barbaric/psychopathic.

Ariizumi Tetsunosuke was from Eta Jima Class 51 (ranked 97th of 255 Cadets). Most of his career was in submarines, though Hachi was only his second command (he'd previously commanded RO-33 before the war); he spent most of World War II serving as Chief-of-Staff of SubRons 8 and 11. He committed suicide on 29 August 1945, more than likely due to knowing he was a dead man if he faced war crimes charges.
A reminder: Ariizumi was Hachi's second captain during the war. Her first, Uchino Shinji, was apparently one of the best submarine commanders in the IJN, and seems to have a record as a clean "gentleman warrior" type with no war crimes committed; under his command, Hachi was the only Japanese submarine to successfully complete a mission to sail to German-occupied France and return to Japan, for exchange of technical materiel and transfer of naval attaches and technicians. After returning to Japan, he was promoted to captain and, as near as I can tell, the commander of the Komatsujima Naval Air Group(!); he survived the war, and when a monument to Hachi was dedicated in Kure in 1981, he read prayers to the souls of her crew, living on to die in 1997 at the ripe old age of 97.

It just goes to show how much influence a skipper has over a ship's "personality," as Uchino's promotion and Ariizumi taking command basically was the moment that changed Hachi from a studious, highly skilled, and ethical warrior to "War Crimes-chan."

Junior Engineer: Wait a sec, how are we going to get it out of there... *pales at effort needed*
