Here's hoping this doesn't happen again like in real life:

Man...that's. It might not be Biscuit that does Hood in this time.
Utah better be right, else things will be going south real fast."I told you," Utah sent a smile over her shoulder, winking at Thompson in a way entirely unlike what he remembered. "I almost got through to someone who had no reason to believe I was here. Admiral Richardson...he knows I should be here. Give me a day, and he will be able to see me. Just one day."
This confidence was entirely unlike what Thompson was used to. But...if Utah thought it would work, he would be perfectly willing to let her. He didn't see any other way to convince Admiral Richardson...and if this was what it took, so be it.
I hope she can pull it off...
Indeed, not a desirable legacy. Though more embarrassing/humiliating, even falling in battle from a Golden BB hit as per OTL could be classified as better than that.Shooting at defenseless allies...no. That would not be what HMS Hood was remembered for.
Here's to hoping Hood and her accompanying fleet survives fighting Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. I expecting losses though, from the destroyers if nothing else.Only if it was accurate, and she would finally have the chance to prove herself as something other than a pretty show piece.
When did the Britboats pick up the TBS trick? Is Repulse's admiral also from the future? Is the German admiral feeding MI6 information to get his own ships sunk?Unable to help it, Hood giggled softly, "You know he can't hear me."
"Well...yeah. But you could still try!" Repulse was probably pouting now, and the thought just made Hood giggle more.
I'm not following this logic. If the British get mauled worse than OTL wouldn't that mean more begging for help to the US?The British get Mauled worst in real life by the Germans and have them get away. Hopefully that convince them to take things more seriously in the Atlantic then begging for the US to send ships there.

I think panic more than pride would be the predominant emotion.Basically it wounds their pride enough for them to say "buzz the bloody fuck of, I got this."
And noticed how I said Mauled and not destroyed. The Pearl Harbor battleships that came back were mauled for example, Ari Utah and Oklahoma were destroyed.I think panic more than pride would be the predominant emotion.
I think we're using different definitions of mauled here.And noticed how I said Mauled and not destroyed. The Pearl Harbor battleships that came back were mauled for example, Ari Utah and Oklahoma were destroyed.
Probably are...
Except that all of the British (non-Battlecruiser) Heavies were considerably slower than the German ships.Probably are...
Basically Hood, PoW, Repulse and who ever survive but needs work for a few months. The Germans on the other hand?
A few weeks of repair before they go back out.
And that stops the, from being shot up how? Hell that actually makes them easier to shot up...Except that all of the British (non-Battlecruiser) Heavies were considerably slower than the German ships.
Slower ships cannot force a battle if the enemy isn't willing to stand and fight. Also, remember the Med? That needed to be covered too, once the French fleet was no longer available to help contain the Italian Fleet.And that stops the, from being shot up how? Hell that actually makes them easier to shot up...
If the Scharnies are using the same guns/shells as Graf Spee did, it might not turn out too well for them - seven hits on a Heavy Cruiser, and still didn't sink it!I'm curious how Hood and Repulse will fare against the Scharnhorst sisters, the Brits'll have the heavier caliber and longer range, but the Scharnies have the faster rate of fire and muzzle velocity, as well as thicker belt and deck armor.
The Scharny sisters actually used an improved version of the Deutschlands guns (SK C/28 for the Deutschland vs SK C/34 for the Scharnies) which had fired a slightly heavier shell at a higher velocity.If the Scharnies are using the same guns/shells as Graf Spee did, it might not turn out too well for them - seven hits on a Heavy Cruiser, and still didn't sink it!

Also, it looks like Halsey can see Utah. I wonder who else he can see now.
Well, I'm sure this will be explained later or is explained in some earlier post between non-authors speculating that I haven't bothered to read. In any event, I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
You know what I kinda want to happen?

Cause honestly we shouldn't have needed to send the North Carolinas, South Dakotas and the Iowas to guard the Brits.
Except that all of the British (non-Battlecruiser) Heavies were considerably slower than the German ships.
Another great chapter! Here's hoping Utah can pull through and haul Thompson's keester out of the fire. And not just his, but Halsey and Jackson's as well. I'm not sure which would get a bigger reaction out of Richardson though; something epic, or something subtle...
But Utah's a good girl! She'll pull through.
And Hood. Oh, here's hoping she doesn't get shafted. Too badly at least...

We cut off trade with them because of what they were doing in China. We only resumed when reconstruction was complete.Not a chance for a naval vessel of Japan but a Maru he could do because the U.S. traded with Japan up until wars end.
Eyup, mind you were wasn't ship that much food out in the first place....Oil,Steel and other industrial items I know the U.S. Embargoed But Food?
