You know, honestly, with what I've read so far, I'm not sure that this isn't Willie's mindscape, a dream if you will, and Hoppo is attempting to wake us up. The reason the world is so strange is because it is wanting our suspension of disbelief to be broken IC. That is pretty much the best explanation I can have for what is going on right now, with Hoppo sounding like a broken record.
Shhhhhh, it's alright. Don't think so hard. It's better to just go with the flow and abandon all your common sense. Better for your sanity.

Hoppo ripped out the internet cords.
She destroyed the internet connection.

Your eyelid twitches as she repeats her catchphrase, as if mocking you.

"You..." you begin, a half-scowl forming on your face, "You just made that much harder, kid..."

Okay, so the communications room is out, how else can you contact your home base?
You think on it for a second before it hits you. Tulsa! She's a fancy modern ship, don't they all have satellite uplinks nowadays? Surely she can get you a direct line to the Admiral, and there's no way Hoppo can sabotage her!
...
Now you have a mental image of Hoppo tearing off Tulsa's rigging as she screams in agony. Gah.

"Let's find Tulsa," you whisper to Mahan, making sure Hoppo left first, "She can help us."

"Tulsa?" Mahan stares, not understanding, until it hits her, "Oh right! Yeah, let's go find her."

Mahan, being more familiar with the base, manages to lead you to where Tulsa was last seen, the two of you hoping that she hasn't moved.

And, thankfully, she hasn't.

She's sitting down in the mess hall, chowing down on a small pile of curry. She's also surrounded by a mixture of Shipgirls, JMSDF personnel, and her former crew all on laptops, tablets, smartphones, and handheld gaming devices.

Getting closer, you see that they're all doing various activities online.

"Excuse me," you lean over an American sailor's shoulder to stare at the cat video he's watching on Youtube, "What is everyone doing?"

"Oh, hello Porter," the sailor smiles as you as she shows you her phone, "We're just leeching off of Tulsa's Wifi. The base's sucks."

You turn to stare at Tulsa, who's happily eating. Her Wifi?... She has that?

Then, suddenly, she stops eating and slams her hands down on the table angrily, rattling everyone's trays and startling them into silence.

"DAMN IT JENKINS!" she screams, glaring at a sailor a few feet down the table, "STOP SEARCHING FOR YOUR FETISH PORN!!!!"

"..." Jenkins, apparently, shrinks back with wide, embarrassed eyes, "Sorry, ma'am."

Welp, you've found Tulsa.

I know something will go wrong, but we must try anyway.

Actually If Porter told her that he had an urgent message to send to the admiral. (which he does considering that there is an abyssal wandering the base.) Tulsa would have to give him access. All he would have to say is that the matter is urgent and possibly classified. I am not sure how the ranking goes in this story but does Tulsa outrank Porter or is it the other way?

One, Porter is a girl. Two, I don't think Tulsa has a rank. We're war assets, not enlisted. Right now, I think it'd be up to her whether she does or not.

Willie's a girl.
 
On my phone so I can't check easily, but I thought the Americans all officerized their shipgirls?
Yup. We are a Commander, normal for DD's. Larger ships have higher ranks too. We all get commissions though.

Better than anything I can come up with.
 
I'm kinda curious, but is a Commander in the US Navy the rank of most CO's of destroyers? Or at least, was it the rank of such during WW2?

GODDAMIT JENKINS! WHY DID YOU THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA?!
 
The bandwagon seems decent. Make room people!

Also, I wonder exactly how good Tusla's Wi-Fi is, and if there's some way to upgrade it as encryption increases. Also, if this means that Tulsa is hackable or not.
