Wait, this is definitely CVE-26, right? Multiple sources online list her as being decomissioned from the navy shortly after the war due to still being damaged at the time of surrender, but it also looks like she was sold into civilian service and coverted back to being a commercial tanker by whoever purchased her? It lools like she goes through a series of owners until finally being scrapped in 1960 (in Osaka, Japan of all places), with at least one cting owners and reflags according to Loyds Shipping Index?

"CONVERTED BACK into an oil tanker, the Sangamon's decks no longer echo the roar of airplane engines or the staccato of ack-ack fire. The former Esso tanker was purchased by the Maritime Transportation Co. after the war."

Fate: Sold to Hillcone Steamship Co., San Francisco; delivered on 11 February 1948.
The following information was provided by Gerhard Mueller-Debus:
According to Lloyd's Shipping Index she was later owned by World Commerce Corp., New York (Lloyd's, Jul 1, 1952); by Maritime Transportation Co. S.A., Panama (Lloyd's, Jan 23, 1958); and by Sangamon Corp., Monrovia, Liberia (Lloyd's, Apr 5, 1960). Always according to Lloyd's, Sangamon left Galveston, Texas on Mar 9, 1960 bound for Bombay, but ran aground and was towed to Suez, arriving Apr 2. She was scrapped in Osaka, Japan, starting Aug 1960.

Decommissioning

The Sangamon limped into port at Norfolk on June 12, 1945, for repairs. When the Japanese announced their intention to surrender in August, those repairs were suspended. In September, she was de-activated; in October, she was decommissioned. On Nov. 1, she was struck from the Naval Vessel Register. She passed through multiple owners before being scrappedâ€"ironically, in Japanâ€"in August 1960.

But would you like some advice that if this really is Abysses, advice that Enterprise gave to me and I gave you one of your sister Shangri-La? "

I'm guessing it's supposed to read as;
Esso looks at the girl in front of her with the look of a veteran who seen to much combat gives to someone who's seen to little and says, "You'll be surprised how easy it is to confuse people for their siblings, and sadly I didn't really pay to much attention to the space race. But would you like some advice that if this really is Abyssals, advice that Enterprise gave to me and I gave to one of your sisters Shangri-La? "

With the gist being an offer of advice and Champlain being confused for Shangri-La?

@Lord K Thinks I've always had a problem with spelling and the like.

Esso not confusing champ for Shangri-La she knows La and give her the same advice that E give Esso, and as will be explained after your response to Esso which if I got your character right she ask what that advice is.

This ain't the real GM post, this is just me buying time for the real post to accumulate in my head and gather everyone into one area.
 
Am I allowed to mention NSFW stuff in a non-explicit manner?

Man, even entertainment has come along way since the 20th Century. Even 'adult entertainment' has increased in quality, to be expected of this horny world. I remember when the best you could do was go to the nearest Red Light or imagine a scenario using a magazine.

I interpreted this as "every time Esso gets drunk, she adopts a new turtle." And I am all for that. Curious as to what you meant, but I like that mental image.

IN Esso Human backstory the one time she went drinking with a friend (Nevada) she got black out drunk and somehow adopted a turtle and as she's not to good and the hole girl thing she thinks that it'll happen every time she drinks. Not logical, yes, but it's what she believes also yes so she doesn't drink to avoids adopting more turtles.

To be fair, MSSB. It could be entirely possible that it's a law of the universe that Esso would adopt a turtle every time she gets sufficiently drunk. Not likely, but what the heck. Imagine her letting her guard down once and ending up adopting another turtle through sheer coincidence.
 
Thread tax for pinging all of you: Does anyone else use a gun/weapon as the physical manifestations for their armaments, like with the Kyudo Bows for the carriers in canon Kancolle? I want to know for more detail in my snips.

EDIT: Also, second *poke*

Anyways, I was semi-bored in class again. Here you all go:
(NON-CANONICAL)

"Alright, girl's," Abe said, sliding down the ladder, "let's get this show on…the…road-what the?"

All around her, Abe saw the rest of the shipgirls, frozen in movement. Every girl was stopped in their immediate movement. To her left, Abe could see Hornet in lockstep, one foot out the bulkhead towards the galley, with several girls right behind her, all engaged in various conversations.

"Hey, are you girls okay?" Abe asked. WAlking over cautiously, she poked Barb in her cheek, pushing it into her mouth. When she pulled back, however, the cheek didn't expand back out.

"Okayyyyy…that's a problem," Abe muttered, cautiously walking backwards and towards the ladder.

She quickly ruled several things out. Aliens? She hasn't seen any beam or flying saucer nearby. Magical stopwatch? Let's hope it's not in the hands of some horny otaku NEET in Japan. Some rare paralysis disease? A quick check-up on Yukino with her medical fairy says they're perfectly healthy.

"Well… that's weird as hell," Abe said, embarking her doctor back into her hull. "What happened?"
