AlI the SI fanfics has me debating one of the Kancolle ships finding herself in Strangereal. Or I could develop the Erusean Kanmusu Fleet idea. The new DLC mission has a bunch of named characters I could use.

Also, that meme that made the rounds a while back about Gotland gaslighting people into believing she's been there the whole time...what if she's secretly a Time Lord from Doctor Who?

Idea for a possible quest; you are the Chief Admiral of the Navy in (insert nation here) in the very beginning of the Abyssal war and you have to fight off the Abyssals without the aid of ship girls.
Though I suppose a possible late game or sequel quest could deal with the arrival of ship girls.
Sadly I have neither the franchise or naval knowledge I think I would need to run the quest, at least not without a good sized gaggle of researchers, fact-checkers, or subject experts (or at least enthusiasts). So if anyone wants to steal, go right ahead.

Well, I have no idea how to run a quest, but I know my Naval stuff and Kantai Collection, so if you wanna team up...

Sure, I'd love to! I'm currently at a course until mid-December, but after that I'm basically free until whenever I can get a job. And while I have a free interest in naval and maritime matters, and Kancolle is a light interest to me, I freely admit I lack any real understanding of the nitty gritty. Especially when it comes to ship technology.

Honestly, to me using the setting, but not the Kanmusu seems to leave out the best part of it. No, not the waifus. The fact that in this setting, when humanity's darkest hour came and we were driven from the seas and the skies, the spirits of our creations shattered the walls of space and time and tore open the veil between life and death to come to our aid. And told physics to fuck off in the process.

Not wrong, and it might just be me and my fondness for stories where it's the average joe who has to step up and put the weight of the world off of Atlas' shoulders.
Everyman Joe having nothing but his M4 and Kevlar fighting against literal demons of the sea risen up from the depths just... has some sort of appeal to me.
I mean the only thing you've seen of it is the literal elevator pitch, so I'm not sure what assumptions you're working off of. The main idea of the quest being how well or how hard can you lose before the shipgirls get pulled out? A sort of "come have a go if you think you're hard enough" Dark Soulsie challenge to it. Which, I freely admit, does not appeal to everyone, but nothing ever does. The quest would most likely be in the vein of a Grand-Stratagy game rather than an RTS. So I'm terms of "Modern Military Masturbation" I don't think that would be an issue. At least, no more than the "WW2 Military Masturbation" inherent in most Kancolle derived fiction.

Some of the better stories find ways to combine them. Look at Belated Battleships for example. You have steel hulls fighting side by side with shipgirls, marines holding Pearl against abyssal infantry, the Chinese Navy's last stand where they spent every ship and plane they had to buy time to evacuate their coastal regions, US Airforce heavy bombers joining New Jersey and Musashi in the attack on the Abyssal Project Habakuk and Tosa.

I tend to prefer the style of @Breakaway25 where (IIRC) modern radar is useless, so missiles are guided by lasers that require a visual lock on the target. And even then, they can still be fooled. Meanwhile, the guns and torpedoes tend to remain unaffected.

So...I'm thinking I'll go ahead with Alicorn winding up in Kantai Collection. Details are sketchy concerning ALicorn herself until the third mission comes out, but ATM I have some stats for her.
The reason Alicorn has Glamrock Squadron is because, while Glamrock wasn't really affiliated with Alicorn's radical crew, their fame as old Erusean pilots and their demise defending Alicorn merged during the transport, causing Alicorn to arrive with them in tow. The reason she also has minders on Earth is because due to her shady history in Strangereal which she revealed during debriefing, the fleet will only let her sortie if she has people keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn't go off the rails.
Is there anything I should think about during preparation, guys?
| Name, Class and Affiliation | Alicorn | Super-Scinfaxi Class | Ex-Erusean Military |
| Dimensions | Length: 495 Metres | Beam: 116 Metres | Height: 54 Metres |
| Armaments | Unknown amount of VLS Launchers and CIWS | Two big Railguns | One Bigger Railgun |
| Aircraft | 8x F-4Es | At least 4 Rafale Ms | UAVs |
| Speed | 42 Knots (Surfaced) | 37 Knots (Submerged) | Cruising Speed: 26 Knots |
| Fleet Members/Minders | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown |
| Resource Consumption | A lot. | Seriously, a lot. | Ooyodo will cry. |
| Notable Fairies | Captain Torres | Command Duty Officer | The Cowboys |

Hmm... this is interesting
Iowa or the US carriers I can see having Braviery.
Zuikaka has Pigeote…
Who else....
Edit: Gamby gets a Magicarp that laters evolves into gyrodoes to protect her.
So which ship will have what mon?

I find this image incredible. Caption implies Fubuki failed to protect the carrier.
