Changing Destiny (Kancolle)

But I am more curious about Seydlitz, seems that the Royal Navy is going to have a fucking panic attack when a goddamned Kaiserlich Marine Battlecruiser appears escorting an ocean liner. Hell, she might end up having a full on running gun battle with the Kreigsmarine.

That just might shock a currently upside down Imperial German battlecruiser in the breaker's yard to fall out of her hull in a self-summoning to go help a fellow fleetmate. And the Iron Dog sails again...

Wrong Seydlitz... I think, it's been a while, but I thought Hipper class Seydlitz got launched in this timeline.

I do know that we have a full on Imperial German Kanmusu active in the Netherlands. I think its SMS Seydlitz.

Regardless, if this goes the way I think its going to develop. The world as a whole is going to learn of Kanmusu.

HA! I can see that being a thing, that would be hilarious! I can just imagine the reaction from the Breakers and I can't stop laughing. Although it would blow open the secret of Kanmusu in quite possibly the most interesting way possible.
 
"At any rate," Schreiber gave her a warmer smile, placing his hand on her own. "It is no secret, now, that ships have souls. I imagine it is only a matter of time before the Nazis attempt to summon their own. That madman, Himmler, especially. This is the kind of occult knowledge he dreams of."
I think that we can all agree that this is going to end in the Nazi dipshits that did all the magic crap ending up dead.
Only question is, just how bad could this get?
Worst-case? We get Abyssals and everything THAT entails.
 
So when does a certain hat wearing archeologist show up to stop the Nazis?

You know, I don't remember ever reading about what Dr. Jones did in the 40s beyond teaching archeology classes (not sure what school). All the big adventures were in either the 30s (original trilogy, video games) or the 50s (Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was what, 1957? Sometime during the Eisenhower administration, given the ironic use of "I like Ike"), barring the TV series, which alternated between his globe-trot with his parents in 1912 and his service with the British Army during WWI every episode.

well I remember Crystal skull mentioning he was in the OSS running missions in Europe and the Pacific, which is where he met Mac.
 
I really want to have Yamamoto meet Nagato or Yamato.

He was dutiful to a fault, but detested the entirety of the war as something only a fool would have started. Says something when his plan to start it, after being ordered to do so (above his strenuous objections), that he knew full well Japan would lose, and lose horrifically.

Have a chance for Nagato or Yamato to talk to him, might do wonders later on for either of them, or all three.

Also...

Oh my, look at what time it is.

To continue with my idea...

Imagine Yamamoto finally being able to vent in quiet, directly to his ship, and we end up with a Yamato/Nagato that comes out more like a secret delinquent, whenever anyone isn't looking. Almost to the level of Iowa.

Because she knows this was all for nothing, and has to put up a public 'face' that she hates. Watching her sister and cousins be sent off to die, just to die 'gloriously', yet more lives destroyed, all so the leadership can avoid the eternal shame of surrender.

Would be a very interesting change from the 'flower of Japan' that Yamato canonically acts as, or the totally professional Nagato whose only breakout trait is a love of cuteness.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing that, it would be amusing and would probably cause Thompson to have a serious "WTF" reaction when he finds out that Yamato/Nagato has a delinquent side.
 
The idea of Yamato having a secret delinquent side is actually quite appealing to me.
The idea of the "Yamato Nadeshiko" girl suddenly going all "I'LL KICK YOUR SHIT IN I SWEAR ON ME MUM" (that's the intent, not the actual phrase.
Kongou'd be the one to say that) is pretty funny to me, along with how the other Japanese ships would react to THAT tidbit.
Be a neat plot point too.
 
IIRC censorship was employed on the media during WW2 in the US. The Chicago Tribune is unlikely to do any such announcing prior to the US Navy letting them.
I mean there was the person who published that we broke the ciphers that the japanese used.

But info about shipgirls is harder to leak to such a degree.

There was also the Congress member who announced that the Japanese didn't have their depth charges set deep enough to hit US subs. The Navy, and Silent Service especially, were pretty pissed about it for obvious reasons.

I do hope that doesn't happen again. But now that they know that Thompson is a time traveler, that should give them enough weight to get BuOrd off its ass and fix the torpedoes much sooner than IRL.
 
The Stars and Stripes is honestly more likely than the Chicago Tribune, along with one of the Hawaiian Newspapers.

Yes but literally the last day of the Battle of Midway as part of their front page coverage they announced the US had broken the Japanese code. They're the only paper the government tried to prosecute under the espionage act of 1917 during the war. The owner at the time hated Roosevelt that badly he was willing to spill nation secrets to get to him. If any new source leaks out the existence of shipgirls to the wider world its gonna be them.
