Zamarad: "That's the plan, yes."
Yeah, Delilah's plan is once the SoS falls or cracks enough so she can 'go hot', she would arrange a strike team centered around Zamarad to head to the island where Fort Warren is, take down the Black Lady brutally and spectacularly, then purify the ashes.
Ideally on the 4th of July with TV camera running from a safe distance to show America that Magicals can do fireworks too.
(the reason she has not done it yet is that it would also blow the SoS to pieces anytime after she realized that 'this shit needs to end now!' in the 1960s because it is in Boston Harbor. Once the SoS is no longer a concern, she plans to set this into motion by persuading people that it is now time and also using whatever strings she has to)

To be honest, the RN is also calling the Ministry a bunch of fools for putting a prison designed specifically to create as much misery and despair for the prisoners as possible right on top of multiple sealed evils in cans that likely feed on such. But they need to take care of it because once they stop feeding them... what is there is highly likely to move out for better feeding grounds...
I... think that I can guess why she would.
* Facepalms *
Yeah, might be a bit of a good idea...My god! They might nuke Azkaban.If also applied with purification abilities.... it would be best for abysals and other dark creatures to avoid the area for quite a while.
^This pretty much. It is something that will take a few years to plan out entirely to cover every angle that they can. The fall of the SoS will only help in this case, as they can openly move against it.
It... all depends, really. There are a few things that they could use for it.
And Grand Slams killed Tirpitz and leave craters that one can see from a few thousand feet up.don't forget the good old german WWII weapon technology, like this
The Ruhrstahl/Kramer 'Fritz X'
two of this.. things destroyed the italian battleship Roma
A lot of witnesses.
So very true in this case...
It... is going to be problematic, which is why there is a lot of coordination happening.
Not... impossible really. A bit of bad taste, but then again...
Fixed.
Got it in one, hence why those that went down and managed to return, will not speak of what they encountered.
Eh, I figured out an easy way to deal with the Black Lady. Basically you just need to counter all that negative energy with an equal or greater amount of positive energy.
You just need the following:
While using the shovels, feed the basilisk all the dark objects that are on the island. After the basilisk is done digesting the objects kill it and use the Omnomnomicon to find a recipe to turn it into a nice meal for the Abyssals. Lastly with the party gods throw a party that reaches a Festivity Level Four on the Successful Party Test and 5 star hangover (aka Dante's 4th Circle of Hell) on the Hangover Rating. Make sure you have plenty of hangover cure potions.
- A Basilisk
- Some allied Abyssals
- Some shovels made out of goblin silver
- Access to the Omnomnomicon (the cookbook that the archdemon of gluttony wrote or you can use his website)
- Enough booze to fill at least 3 oil tankers
- A few cargo ships full of food and sugary drinks
- Fireworks
- And the help of pretty much every party god that there is
See easy.

It does make a certain amount of sense...Zamarad: "That's the plan, yes."

Why?
Subcontinental Princess has been confirmed in this canon, as being the target of no less than TWO entire MIRV salvos (so a dozen 25-100Kt nukes), and nukes were used elsewhere, especially in China, parts of North Korea (before it collapsed and merged with South Korea), and even the USA is confirmed to have launched them in anger.
With Azkaban, we're talking about a sub-surface, DEEP sub-surface nuclear release. Those types don't cause the double-flash satellites look for, although the earthquake readings certainly would reveal it. Additionally, if its more than a few hundred meters down, it is extremely likely to cause a collapse of the entire island above sea level, as the dungeons honeycomb the island. So we'd end up with much the same effect as the nuclear tests up in Alaska. Where, briefly, the island surface was raised by 25 feet(!!) after a 5Mt deep test, and causing a magnitude 6.7 quake + aftershocks in the 4.0 range, before subsiding into a crater lake 50-75ft deep.
And the Alaska tests were done to an island that was a solid mass. Azkaban is hollowed out for hundreds of meters down, well below sea level. There won't be an island left, just a submerged seamount which might be glowing white hot for a few years (Solar deity powered Ofuda, when the deity is PISSED, are no laughing matter).

Several reasons. First off, it will be impossible to disguise that you expended a nuke in the North Sea. Either the double flash if surface or the seismic shock wave if subterranean. Trying to conceal this is as impossible as concealing a sunrise.
That means that you have to manage the fallout literal and otherwise if you have to form the Azkaban Seamount.
In the literal sense, you need to do something to reassure the public that they won't be glowing in the dark, plus fallout plumes don't stop at national borders (see: Chernobyl's radiation being exposed when it reached Sweden). You can expect the Greens to be screaming the heads off at a minumum while using this as a cudgel to beat the responsible parties and their political opponents.
Diplomatically, you also do want to let people in the fallout plume and who are diplomatically important know. At least 'this is why we are doing this' to reduce the amount of unplanned consequences, versus say the Russians getting a no-notice report that someone detonated a nuke in the UK. Shocked people can get pushed into hasty and ill-conceived action.
You have time so best let the IE Russians into the loop so they know deep down (probably with a military observer/liason team on site with a radio link to Moscow) that this is a one-off dealing with a major magical menace and not the openign shots of World War III. I suspect when Subcontinental ate the MIRVs, there were some phone calls from DC to Moscow in advance and even then the Russians, Indians, and Chinese were puckered up until their satelites confirmed that the ICBM warheads were not heading at them but instead about to obliterate a particularly dangerous and unfriendly Abyssal.
I'd have to reread the section, but I was under the impression from the hints in snips around the main one that the two MIRVs were the official count. There were quite a few more flashes than that, likely from external contributions who pitched in to help. (I figure India, Pakistan and Russia might have chucked a few of their own at the same target?)

So Azkaban has things in its depths scarier than, to put it in the words of Larry the Cable Guy, "Janet Reno in a negligee carryin' a box of rubbers" :lol. Hmm...what could we do? What could we do? ... Oh, here's an idea! If you can put purification charms on nukes, Mother Russia made a bomb that would turn ol' Azzie into a hole in the bottom of the Baltic Sea. It's called the Tsar Bomba. Toss one of those at her.
But the more pressing question is: Has Isley been informed of what happened to her fiance and godson-to-be? If you think Hoppo's reaction was bad, look out.

Okay, I derped there...
In general, the nuke is a "Last Resort" against Azkaban as they are going to try and level it "Conventionally". The big thing though is that it is a shipgirl nuke, which doesn't actually leave real fallout behind. It is why no one worries about shipgirls tossing shells around because when they detonate, they don't leave any remnants behind being spiritual constructs. That said, Britain is going to let pretty much everyone who needs to know, actually know. And considering what they do know about Azkaban... a lot of them would agree with what Britain might do.
As for Russia, chances are that you would get Gangut there as an observer to help out.
Uh, no... because that would fry everything within about sixty miles of Ground Zero, including the shipgirls involved.
^This, pretty much.

Tsar Bomba caused fires 500 miles away, and the heat was felt 1,000 miles away. The fireball alone was well over five spherical miles across. If you buried that a mile, straight down, beneath Manhattan Island, and initiated the bomb, there wouldn't BE an island of Manhattan anymore. And it'd still wipe out everything on the surface for probably 150 miles in all directions. And Azkaban is sure as hell less than 150 miles off UK's western shore, and probably just as close to Ireland, if not possibly closer. Anything over a megaton would be....bad.
The bomb we're referring to, the one HMS Plym has, is 'only' 25 kilotons. A sub-surface detonation from it, even only 200-300 meters down, would create one hell of a wave shock, and ejecta from the remains of the island probably would be a threat to airliners descending/ascending from cruise altitude, but otherwise would have an extremely remote chance of ever seeing damage done to either England or Ireland. But outside of that, not really much would occur beyond a whole lot of stunned birds & fish and some dead crabs.
How it would work is that the fireball would be mostly contained under the rocks above (briefly....very, very, briefly) while liquefying/evaporating any tunnel support structures immediately within the fireball, while the seismic shock demolishes the means to support any tunnels beyond that distance. In short, gutting the supports needed to keep all that rock above the fireball's liquefying radius (plus the above ground portions of the prison), from crashing down into the huge hole left behind. IIRC, the movie portrayed Azkaban as taking up one portion of the island almost right up to the shoreline, with outer buttress walls actually forming sea-walls. In that case, if the whole prison collapses into the hole left, it very likely will collapse far enough 'down' that the ocean will pour in over the top, which is even more metric tons per square inch compressing the rubble downwards. Very very few things will survive a nuke, 200m-300m below surface cave-in, followed by billions of gallons of seawater....which is near boiling hot from touching the liquefied parts of the rubble mass.....all happening both around them and then on top of them.
Anything much beyond the Plym bomb (Operation Hurricane) is well into 'bad' levels of overkill (see below). In fact, likely even a 30Kt bomb would have minor detrimental effects felt by Ireland & the UK.
-=-
Tsar Bomba, while technically more efficient, as it really WOULD evaporate the island (and how) along with anything below it all the way down to the continental shelf itself (and then dig a little), the side effects are waaaaaaaay out of scale of what's needed.
There's a wonderful youtube video that many people like to use about Mariana Trench vs a Nuke, and how it wouldn't do jack on the surface. Most people forget that the video is only referring to a 1Mt blast at best. You could detonate the Tsar Bomba at Challenger Deep, and while the top of the fireball would still be about 1.7 miles below the surface....that's still 5 MILES of ocean that just evaporated. If you were directly above? You're still dead from the rising pressure wave. Or if say, you detonated it at the very foot of Mauna Loa/The 'big island' of Hawaii, on the sea floor of the Pacfic, the fireball would extend ABOVE sea by 1.9 miles (and very likely incinerate airliners overhead).
That's in the Pacific, at Hawaii at 3.1 miles deep. Or Challenger Deep at 6.7 miles deep.
Off the west coast of England/Ireland? Still on the continental shelf?
The average is ninety-five METERS deep. Which is shallow enough to cause a mega-tsunami.
You'd very likely kill every living thing in Northern Ireland, and take out a good chunk of western Scotland.

...Uum is Arsekaban in the North Sea or the North Atlantic? 'cause people are say that the Irish sea is connected to the North Sea. It's not, the North Sea is between Scottyland and England to the West and Norway to the East. The Irish Sea is between Ireland to the west and England/Scottyland to the East. The Irish Sea directly connects to the English Channel to the south and the North Atlantic in the north. If Arsekabob is in the North Sea then it is no where near Ireland.
