So lets recap:
One battleship not happy with Japan; if provoked by the government (or one certain officer) can cause a lot of trouble with her sisters, at minimum.
Another battleship that is on the edge of going full abyssal if not handled carefully.
And then a third that is being stalked by a full abyssal battleship not aware of the problems of the first two.
...
I think Admiral Takeda is in for 'interesting times'.

Don't forget about the "reunion" between Indy's British and Japanese sisters...with Seydlitz thrown into the mix, just for fun.So lets recap:

But look on the bright side, Takeda: at least you don't have to deal with Kongo!

Yup. On both counts.
Even if she had features, there wasn't near enough anger there to set her off.
Pretty much. At least in this case.
Heh.
Well, neither side had any idea what could (or would) happen. That said, yeah, not a great time to be showing up even with a couple days to try and calm Tosa down somewhat.
Technically, Abyssal!Seydlitz is a Heavy Cruiser, not a BB. Granted, that doesn't make her any less dangerous...
First: Yeah, lots of fun times ahead.
Second:
Hm.

More or less. The USN did learn some important lessons with the Washington when they used her hull as a target, though, which would later be used to implement improved deck armor and, IIRC, solidify the "all-or-nothing" armor scheme theory. And they named another battleship in her honor.
But the parallels go deeper: Lexington and Saratoga's incomplete and scrapped sisters, when the two fleet carriers (the USN's first two fleet carriers, in fact) were still being built as part of a class of battlecruisers. Akagi, along with Amagi, were part of a class of battlecruisers, and following the treaty, the two most-complete hulls were selected for conversion into fleet carriers--the IJN's first two fleet carriers; the remaining, incomplete sister-ships were scrapped in accordance with the treaty.
But hey, what about I-403? What about the second Amagi, the one who was actually completed and commissioned? Or her sister ship, Katsuragi? What about Kentucky?
That said, it's really not the case that all incomplete ships are Abyssal bait. Graf Zeppelin (sp?) was something like 95% complete at the onset of WW2, remained 95% complete at the end of WW2, and then ended up in the hands of the Soviets, where she was promptly scrapped. And yet, she's a happy(ish) fleet carrier kanmusu.

But then again Hawaii CB-3 is a thing and the second Amagi and Katsuragi both are in game so...

Eh, at least in Amagi's case the Japanese authorities do have a valid excuse.
She wasn't abandoned, she was killed by an earthquake.

For some reason my immediate mental image is of a Kanmusu who goes out of her way to be as environmentally un-friendly as possible, in as many menial forms as she can too.
Somehow she buys and drives around a Hummer (specifically an older model H2) at every chance she gets, acquires an old junk heap of a second hand fridge specifically because it releases CFCs, always asks for or chooses plastic bags if offered at the supermarket, constantly keeps the Air Conditioning system where ever she is cranked to max, and buys a lot of books, not because she reads a lot or likes paper over digital, but simply because "fuck trees".

I have this idea, like, remember how when Indestructible was summoned, she didn't trust them, because she was still in the WW2 mindset?
What if she had been more... trigger happy back then.
That would also have been an interesting story to read; Indestructible running from the Japanese navy, back to England.

This.
Besides, Skywalker works on three or four fics simultaneously, if I'm not mistaken, plus there are various snippets he regularly posts and omakes for other people's fics. I can attest that even writing omakes for someone's else work can take quite a lot of time. And there's only so much a human being can do within a given timeframe, and that's not accounting for the fact that muses are rather fickle and capricious creatures.
So, @Star_Trekker, be patient and don't badger the author. Updates come when they come, no sooner, no later.

I'm new here, and wasn't aware of the etiquette. I hate that I possibly came across as pushy, I was more curious as I'm enjoying the series.

If I may, I'd like to discuss a question; namely, to what extent are WW1 warships summonable? Or even before? It was implied that predreadnoughts are summonable; what predreads are summonable-like only the ones that lasted to see service i a world war like at the Dardenelles? Because Japan's battleship shortage might not be that bad if so. They haven't summoned the 2 Kawachi class dreadnoughts for 1, and the various IJN predreads are still potentially useful as coastal defence to free up more modern capital ships. I know that they'd be radically obsolete but when operating with an escort in low intensity sectors they can provide enough big guns to relieve the pressure on the JMSDF. Also, if WW1 ships, not just Seydlitz, are available for European states (they are continental powers or have tunnels to continental powers and active trade with other countries on the continent) then the nnumbers issue could be a lot less serious depending on how much coast needs to be defended. The Royal Navy had 28 battleships at Jutland. The Kaiserliche Marine, Regia Marina, Marine Nationale, whatever other navies, ought to, when thinking about their combined WW1 and WW2 fleets, have quite a sizable force. The USN still made good use of Clemsons and other old destroyers as convoy escorts during WW2. It stands to reason that the older destroyers and cruisers of these navies could also be used to free up more modern shipgirls. At the very least a number of smaller naval powers such as Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands, have enough ships to protect their own coasts. That means that the European and American navies (South America did have their own dreadnought race) probably have enough to secure their own coasts and those of some countries that had nonexistent WW2 navies.

That'd probably be a better question for the general thread... I'm pretty sure it's generally just that only ships from the World Wars typically come back, with very few exceptions from earlier.
The out of context reason being that unless you want Modern shipgirls to simply be way too expensive to ever use, they'd simply make anything earlier worthless.

Well, there is the simple explanation of "sparkly shipgirl bullshit". How else do you justify the fact that battleships are somehow still able to play front and centre alongside carriers?
Selonianth
Writer of Words
... They don't. In the anime at least the carriers may talk to the battleships, but the only time they really show up in the same shot is after the fight is over.
Battleships still engage from a *lot* closer.
