Well, if coats are their Camo patterns and their armor is the clothes... does this make the Iowa-class's internal armor belt their underwear?

Anyone wearing the jacket is seen as a Pennsylvania-class battleship.
"Sir, that battleship is making 35 knots!"
"Report this too command, the Americans have developed fast battleships."
While on the other side of the bay. "Kidd, give Arizona her jacket back!"

The snip itself won't be canon, because that rather substantially torpedoes the story plot if something as obvious as the girls suddenly shifting color at will happened.
Will the 'clothes=changing camo' thing be canon? Depends.
As per what Drake said, I included the Ari bit for that...and the last bit Old Iron did in the BelBat thread. Ari has the most distinctive (and easily switched) jacket of the girls, and the idea of her letting someone borrow it is equal bits amusing and adorable.
See Little E drowning in the jacket, while her hull suddenly has a battleship painted on the side or something.
Also:
Sara: Lex! Look, I'm a battlecruiser again!
Lex: ...Sara, please give Arizona back her jacket.
Sara: Aww...
Depends on if I decide to make the camo swapping canon or not. Not sure on that yet.
At first I thought this would be something a slight bittersweet. A little lovey. A little dovey. A kind of soft, romantic piece.
Then Little E called and I started laughing like a moron.
The implications of this are hilarious. Let's play dress up with the boats and see what happens. You know, an evening gown to a bomber jacket with jeans to casual lounging wear. And you know you want to see how Little E will look withdad'sHalsey's jacket.
Little E: This is a bit big on me...?
Halsey: Nonsense! You look like a proper sailor now.
Little E: *blushes brightly*
At least Sara was putting on clothes. Some ship-girls... well, as I posted on SB...
Oh dear Pola. Oh dear Shimakaze.Those 1940s sensibilities would have no idea what to do....well, in the latter case modern day sensibilities don't know what do with Shima.
This entire string of posts:
rofl:That would be awkward. One wonders if everyone inside them would become invisible too though, in which case:
California: Eat your heart out submarines!
I pity the poor schmuck who has to move all that armor though. And the even poorer schmuck who happens to look at the girl after she strips, because they'd either get slapped senseless...
Or incur the wrath of angry Dadmirals. Like Halsey.
Or both!

IIRC, yes it is. Which might make it the underwear, yes.
Heh.
...this is true.

Every battle is a night battle and the Americans start retrofitting ram bows onto their ships?

Well, now we know why Kidd wanted Ari's jacket so badly. Not sure if that's cute or disturbing, some combo of both I think.

Might be worth making how effectively the shipgirl can affect the ship at least in part dependent on how much of the crew can see the shipgirl?
Sure, she can wear that green jacket when only the admiral sees her, but to actually see a difference on the ship would be really hard. However, if the same is attempted later on when all 4000 sailors on board can see her...
This way it would be hard to do big things to convince everyone at the start, but once that is done? Quite a lot of possibilities opens up, to put it mildly.

Maybe it goes the other way around? When a ship gets repainted, her girl gets a new wardrobe? That's the way I looked at it in the Frisco omake. Her clothes were all ratty and her hair was a tangled mess because she was pulling into Pearl for a through drydocking and de-fouling (aka shipgirl spa day.)

Ohohoh, if anybody looks at Little E like that with Halsey in the same zip code, nobody's going to find the body.

I do look at refits as changing their outfit at least.
Hence Sara going from her white-and-blue outfit to her white-and-black outfit. A thorough enough repainting would probably count as a new wardrobe in general though- replacing worn out clothes and cleaning hair and such. But an outright and extensive refit can lead to the clothes completely being different.
Admittedly a game mechanic, but it works here too.
Also:
Since Sky is Lazy and doesn't want to go back and edit out every mention of blue hair, assume that Destiny!Sara is WSG!Sara in everything but her hair being blue-with-black-streak. So the above, but with the blue hair.

It's not a proper anime-style story without Blue Hair. You just Gotta Have it.

Another example. Ari circa-Pearl:
Might be why she has the blue uniform coat.

Oh my god. Ari is the protagonist whose Home Village gets destroyed by the Evil Empire. Except in this timeline she'll survive and go on an Epic Adventure to defeat the Evil Empire.Another example. Ari circa-Pearl:

So does that mean Yamato is going to kill Hirihito and transform into an eldritch abomination?

Hopefully she'll just offer Arizona the chance to become hers and then they set out to spread Freedom and the Renaissance across the land.
