... Yep. I may have allowed my mouth to run off back there.
When I thought of "modernization", my mindset was stuck in game-verse Kancolle.
That particular version involves
Another approach would be just like in planefriend's KCQuest where either they make shipgirl-sized equipment (like the radar headsets) or they take a shipgirl's gun, allow it to get life-sized, and then get to work on it the old fashioned way, on a dry dock.
Both would be too mysterious for me to comprehend, and/or is just chock full of fairy magic.

Yup.
Heh. I've got ideas for those two.
Depends. I think its better this way, since it's not so far out there that SI me has his (her?) brain shut down in shock. Ending up as a ship girl would have 'me' be gender flipped, turned into a living weapon, and sent to fight horrible monsters.
A bit much?
This too.

Interested. Watched.
So, I take it that given the vessels deployed, there won't be any Yamaprise? Phooey...

Is that canon? Do people randomly end up as shipgirls in KanColle sometimes? How would that even work? Can it be things besides ships, like planes?
That is extremely rare for SIs, and other wise the only times I'm aware of that ind of stuff really happening is rare bits in some doujins. Like the Macho Admiral and the fleet girls, where...stuff that would be spoilers happens. Or when the girls are literal reincarnations of the ships in human form.
The admirals wife comes back after being turned into an abyssals as a ship girl with no memories of her previous life. And she acts as her daughters secretary ship.

Transformation into the opposite gender is rare? Or turning into a shipgirl from a human girl?

There isn't much of a canon for Kancolle, aside from vague and implicit bits, so most of stuff gets filled in via fanon.
Turning into a shipgirl from human happens in some works, but not very many official works. Or at least the official ones where it might have happened aren't clear on some things.
As for the gender swap thing, only ever in some fan material to my knowledge. And even then rarely.
Well it's more so there's a lot of official works, and the most core of those works have barely anything to work with(the game) or are just a mess(the anime.) The rest of the materials(manga, novels, side games, table top RPG...) are for the most part in their own continuities, contradictory, or something along those lines.
Really kancolle is one of those things where the fan works are just better to go through once you have a good enough idea. Doesn't hurt that some of those fan works are better than a lot of the official stuff.
pretty much, alot of recent works are taking ques from kant-o-celle quest (trust in planefriend), which has alot of good ideas

From what I've seen/heard among the fanworks, Shipgirls are sometimes:
1) Summoned either through an offering of resources (fuel, steel, ammo, bauxite) or a memorabilia from their old "ship" selves (like summoning the Arizona by using her bell... or Admiral Kidd's ring).
2) Summoned, but without anyone prompting them. Either from thin air, from their museum ship selves (if they have them), or they just popped near where their wrecked ship selves were... perhaps none of the above?
3) Created from scratch. This would either imply shipgirls are supersoldiers/homonculi or gynoids (with their "humanity" being skin deep).
4) Reincarnations that have been living normal, human lives before awakening to their shipgirl "existences".

Really in the mood for ribs.
I remember Fleet Journal implying that human corpses are used as catalysts. But then that was a comic where a lunatic IJA officer regularly puts his ships through Training From Hell and can trigger a psychotic bloodlust in them on command, his Inazuma relies on antacids as much as fuel, and Kongou opens a tea bar.

Ahh... I freakin' love yua/checkmate's works.
Hell hath no fury like Inazuma learning that the Admiral's been spending too many resources.... again.
That world's also where they first attempted to combat the Abyssals coming on land(!) through the use of physically modified supersoldiers, like Kamio Reiji and his companions.
Having their bodies upgraded with superalloy bones, increased muscle mass and pilebunkers still didn't cut it though, so they still had to rely on shipgirls to fight the Abyssals in the end...
Anyway, over there, shipgirls were made from corpses... would that make them cyborgs of some sort, like Frankenstein's monster.

The game doesn't say anything about the admiral's identity or even gender, so fans have done what they want. There's even a shiba inu admiral.
If we're going to be ridiculous, there's an admiral with the letter "T" as his head. That's more ridiculous to me than a dog being an admiral.
(I like dogs, okay? I'm biased.)

How about a Stalin Admiral?
He's hardly the strangest admiral possible. Now, if there was an Admiral Tim Curry, HE would win the contest of Strangest Admiral hands down. Because he's Tim Curry.
Perhaps but doing an Admiral SI can be an easy way out with suffering emotional damage from commanding and losing shipgirls.
but being shipgirl anything can happen like working under a bad admiral or dealing one's internal mind as she fights.
And coolest. Coolest Admiral hands down.
Because he's Tim Curry. And because he sounds like Tim Curry.
(The bustier has to go, though. Not regulation.)
