Never One Without the Other - (Kancolle RPG) (No longer recruiting!)

Reader mode
I see it as subs being really good at swimming and diving. Some of them may have snorkels with them too.

Mainly wondering for the case of subs and going underwater. Though I guess it might be applicable to say, ships with radar or something.

Anything related to mobility and being able to move as a ship is untouched, so submarines are still technically able to dive. That said, without your riggings on, submarines are just really good swimmers. You don't get the underwater breathing stuff commonly associated with them.

Got it. MSSB doesn't extend that far, but the ships still can move like normal, just nothing a normal human couldn't do?

Correct. Without your rigging, you are a slightly tougher, slightly stronger bog standard human, with a few special exceptions. I'm planning on explaining a lot of it in the opening post of the IC thread.
 
So we currently have:
- 2 heavy cruisers
- 1 light cruiser
- 3 destroyers
- 3 submarines
- 1 minesweeper
- 2 aircraft carriers
- 1 seaplane tender

No battleships aside from the couple of rejected pre-dreads, which is surprising.

Because regular battleships are overrated in a Kancolle RP. Who wants to sit around and shoot big guns when you can do funnies with tiny boats, less tiny boats with torpedos, even less tiny boats, very even less tiny boats that are flat-chested, and slightly less tiny boats that can swim underwater?

EDIT: This is supposed to be a semi-sarcastic joke. Battleships are cool, New Jersey is best UR

Yep, why make one large shore bombardment/missile ship when you can make like... 2 or 3 smaller, more versatile small missile carriers with similar or higher total missile countage. Even if you can't sink an island with them.

Ship name: U.S.S Sangamon
Ship class: Sangamon-Class escort carrier
Ship history:
Esso Trenton was acquired by the United States Navy on 22 October 1940. Renamed Sangamon and designated a fleet oiler, one of 12 Cimarron-class oilers, she was commissioned on 23 October 1940.

After service off the west coast and in Hawaiian waters, Sangamon shifted to the Atlantic Fleet in the spring of 1941, and through the Neutrality Patrol period, carried fuel from the gulf coast oil ports to bases on the east coast, in Canada, and in Iceland. On 7 December 1941, when the U.S. entered World War II, she was at Naval Station Argentia, Newfoundland, offloading her liquid cargo. Within the week, she started south again to renew her schedule on a tighter time frame.
in early 1942, she was designated for conversion to an auxiliary aircraft carrier. On 11 February, she arrived in Hampton Roads. Three days later, she was reclassified AVG-26; and on 25 February, she was decommissioned and conversion was begun at the Norfolk Navy Yard.
Would serve in many campaion thought the war and be sold for scrape on 11th of February 1948
Civilian name: Esso Sangamon
Civilian occupation: Dock worker also volunteers as a member of the Coast Guard auxiliary to responded to SOS and other call for help on the sea.
Appearance:
Personality: Very energetic and happy to help anyone she can, to the point where if she wasn't part of the Coast Guard auxiliary she would go out anyway and most likely get in trouble. Spend most of here free time reading or with her few friends.(IS NOT ALOUD TO GET DRUNK we're still trying to figure out where she got that turtle.) Is a very doting sister 3 sister who she rarely see.

I can't believe I forgot to reply to this, but I was rather busy yesterday, so it probably just slipped my mind. Sangamon looks pretty good, but you can't be working with the Coast Guard for similar reasons to the others not being allowed to work with the Navy. Also, there are absolutely going to be jokes about Sangamon and Intrepid looking exactly the same because of your art choice.

Engines and mobility are still all in place, because if they tried to cripple your ability to sail, you also wouldn't have functioning legs. So you can sail around, you've just been warned not to.

*Thinks up idea*

A more rational reasoning is that the Navies realize the relation between a shipgirl's legs and their physical hull's engine, but I came up with something more funny.

I know you already mentioned it wouldn't be fair if a player has to work with a handicap (literally), but what if I wanted to have Abe be a handicapped girl after the navy tried to museum ship her al a her steel hull and ended up screwing over her legs?
 
That would be unnecessarily cruel to the shipgirls. They want to demilitarize, not cripple.

We have... a lot of ASW gear, so we shouldn't worry too much about that when we add our destroyer compliment to the mix

That does help, though this means we need to have a costant cap for asw. I'd complain about the number of sonar sets but I guess we have three subs helping out on that front?

That brings the total number up to 3 carriers and 1 seaplane tender. Ludicrous amounts of long range power but I hope no one ever gets close.
