Yamashiro: "I'd be willing to test that!"
Shigure: "Hey, count me in, too!"
Fusou: "Oh god why"

I need more sleep.
Oh, also, I finally got Chapter 3 of Waves Of Change completed and in a readable state; you can find it here:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Warning: long chapter is long
Not quite. XD
@TheBleachDoctor recently wrapped up a Willie Dee quest.Okay, I have basically no familiarity with Kancolle fanfics, but I have to ask: has anyone ever done a fanfic with a shipgirl version of the Willie D Porter as the main character?
RE: the teitoku thing, I think there's a decent mix of possible reasons. IIRC didn't people try fighting the Abyssals with conventional forces before shipgirls started showing up in force? Seems like that would probably attrited the pool of officers of any navy that participated pretty badly, so there were probably a lot of early promotions that put people into ranks they look awfully youthful for. That, and there's the possibility that he's an OF-5 that was given an acting rank of Rear Admiral specifically for the purpose of playing nursemaid to a bunch of hormonal warships without needing to dedicate a real OF-7/8/9 to that position (and any potential scandals that resulted from it). Or, hell, maybe he's supposed to be an OF-5 who distinguished himself in combat against the Abyssals, got brevetted, and then had that used as the excuse to put him in charge of the whole mess without giving the person in charge of the shipgirls authority to do much more than relay orders and take care of routine maintenance and therapy.
Maybe.........
It doesn't matter whether or not you're in the service and/or whether or not you hold a rank. To the ship girls, you're their admiral/commander, period.
All the examples you listed are your characters that are in service (any retired?) with a branch of their respective nation's armed forces.
Got anyone that's pure civilian, if not from any of the emergency services?
Well, duh.Something copied over from the Pet Peeves thread.
And my response to this was.
Thoughts?
I agree with your argument. But the caveat is that someone will want to know about how chain of commands and responsibility and oversight. That's how you build responsible organization.There's no reason to justify something that doesn't need to be justified. Rank and job are different things.
Hey, it was an idea. How you make an oversight commitee that honestly just want to do his job right, without end up as an ass or asshole. No ulterior motives at all.I don't see that is relevant?
Or necessary in a story, for that matter.
I don't see that is relevant?

But that was not what the discussion I was replying to was about.It's relevant because when all hell breaks loose you have to look to and listen to the appropriate person in command or else everything turns even more to shit
Luck is part of my strength? Then can I give a bit of it to my sisters?
You know, sometimes here we talk about "What might have beens". Here's a bit of an odd one... There is a class of warship known as Monitors, basically put they are shallow drafted vessels with Battleship guns mounted on them. Now, we know that the British used them and even had two up to WWII. So what about the Japanese deciding to build some? As for turrets... apparently they built two turrets for the A-150 class for testing in Kure. Makes one wonder what those as shipgirls would be like.
Well, with how Monitors were built you would have two in such a case, each carrying one turret.
