Anyway, Eurobeat brought me here xD
 
Anyway, I think the theme in this quest has some similarities with the Muv-Luv Universe, one of them is Ship girls (Fleet girl, kanmusu, whatever you called them) are just the tip of the spear; other military assets (planes, ships, soldiers, etc) are supporting them, just like how TSFs (think of it as the mecha version of modern fighter jets) in Muv-luv are.
I am thinking about writing an omake of one of those military assets (a fleet consists of "real" combat ships maybe), but hell, I can't even write a sentence without having tons of grammar error.
 
So I did wrote an omake, and it will be connected to the main story (if canon) later. And if it was canon, it might involved the Tulsa.
Well, enjoy.
SOUTH CHINA SEA, BATTLE OF SPRATLY ISLANDS
"Captain, HQ-376 has been sunk! We only have 4 corvettes left!"
"The Singaporean RSS Stalwart has been taken out!"
"The Philippines are withdrawing! They said they can't take any more hits!"
"Sir, HQ-012 reporting, their fire control system has been disabled!"
"This is the commander of Spratly island garrison, the runway has been destroyed!"
"Captain! …"
Voices of panic filled the bridge of the HQ-011 Dinh Tien Hoang, Vietnam People Navy's frigate. They had been fighting the so-called Abyss for almost 16 hours and everyone looks like they are about to collapse every moment. Hence, the situation was becoming more and more dire.
"How many ships do we have left?" The Captain anxiously asked.
"Only 3, including us can still fight sir, HQ-011's radar and fire control system has gone down means they have to withdraw, and HQ-371 and HQ-381 is out of missiles. The Singaporeans have 2 left, but the Malaysians and Philippines are out. Reinforcements are coming, but it gonna take them at least 1 hour, means when they got here, we're already dead."
"Damage control, what's our status?"
"The engine room is half-flooded, and one AK-630 has been destroyed! A torpedo penetrated right in the middle of our ship, but we think it's a dud, sir."
Lucky, he thought. If that torpedo exploded, none of him or anyone boarding this ship would survive the blast. But it was just a matter of time before this 2,100 tons piece of metal sank to the bottom of the ocean.
There was only 2 KCT-15 anti-ship missiles left in the launch pods, the AK-176 Naval gun was nearly ran out of ammo and one of his CIWSs have been destroyed. The Palma CIWS was on rampage, firing it dual Gatling guns continuously at the upcoming swarms of Abyssal fighters, but it would only last for several minutes before the magazines were completely dry.
Things on the corvettes weren't going well either. One of them was on fire, and the other have reported of flooding. It's a miracle that they were still floating, after suffering all kind of enemy shelling.
"Sir," the radio operator called, "the Singaporeans said they're going to withdraw and they want us to do it too."
A sailor, soak wet because of sweat and rainwater, rushed in: "Captain, I saw signals of the transport ships! All civilians and garrisons troops on the Spratly Islands have been evacuated!"
"Captain, we should listen to them and retr..."
"And let our country face directly to the enemy?" The Captain cut his First Officer's word. Everyone froze.
After taking a deep breath, he continued, "Do you think we would survive if we ran for our lives? I'm sure with their speed, they could give us half an hour to run, play with us for a while like a cat playing with his mice and in the end let us sink to the bottom while they come for our coastal cities. And if that happens, how many people do you think will die? Eight millions? Ten millions? Think about it."
A short moment of slience.
"Comrade Duy," he ordered his radio operator, "contact the others. Tell us they are allowed to leave, but we will stay here and fight till the end. Tell the Singaporeans, our homeland stands right behind us and we can't allow ourselves to flee. And if they retreat, we will buy them som…" his word was cut off by multiple explosions coming from the enemy fleet.
"What the hell…"
What was happening in front of their eyes, is the Abyssal Fleet, which wiped out over half of his force's fighting strength, was being blasted away by missiles, shells and even machine gun's fire, all with very high precision. One by one, they turned into oblivion.
A strange voice came from the radio,
"This is the United Nation's Pacific Express. Captain, you got delivery."

I would normally be in favor of calling mama Iowa, but she hasn't really been helpful that much, has she? Maybe call mama Kongo?

    Okay, breathe Porter, breathe! You can handle this! You can wing this!... Hydrofoil this? Rudder this? What's the naval equivalent of a wing?
    Gaaaah, screw it! You need to act, and act now!

    "EHH UMM ORDER! YES, RIGHT, ORDEEERRRR!!!" you shout, waving your arms in a flustered manner. Pseudo-Wo stares at you in amusement as you continue, "SCRAMBLE ALL FIGHTERS AND BOMBERS! HOLD THE ABYSSAL BACK UNTIL REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE!"

    "Yes, Flagship... launching," she nods as her Rigging atop her head whirs and clanks, parts of it segmenting to disgorge many little triangular... things. Really, they look like mechanical versions of the Abyssal fighter craft.

    The little vehicles snap into the steam catapults and launch in sequence, roaring out of the Factory and, if the following explosions and machine gun fire is any indication, engaging Hoppo.

    While your new ally is launching her air wing, you quickly get on the comm lines. Specifically, the American one.

    "Porter!" Iowa all but screeches at you, "What is going on?!"

    "Nagato's pet Abyssal escaped! Got her Rigging back, massive threat!" you have your Fairies send Iowa the coordinates, "Hit her with all you've got, Big Stick!"

    When she doesn't reply, you're briefly afraid that she didn't hear, but then you hear the staggered booms of nine 16-inch cannons from the far side of the base, followed by the deafening explosions of their impact nearby. Hoppo's dual-toned scream echoes throughout the area. Both you and Pseduo-Wo flinch at it. Loud.

    Cannon fire rips through the Factory, and both of you dive behind some crates full of steel to try and wait it out. The building collapses around you, but for the most part it just bounces off the two of you.

    Explosions rip up the ground around you, the searing heat washing over both you and Pseudo-Wo. She cries out and runs out from cover, and you follow, not wanting to be burnt up in the inferno.

    Out in the open, Hoppo stares down you both, a gargantuan 16-inch gun behind her rising, twitching as the appendage its growing from pulses.

    "Orders?" Pseudo-Wo asks, looking very panicked. Well, you can't say that she's emotionless.
