I'm considering rejoining this as Kurama (and only her). However, I do NOT want to be the GM again (My plate is full). I'm willing to help out Jhin when needed though.
Edit: I'll be making a new PC. I don't feel like bringing back my old PC(s) and the IC thread quietly wrote them off. No need to reintroduce them
Edit 2: @Jhin Lemon I can still threadmark stuff, being the creator of the thread. Lemme know when you want me to go through stuff! (Won't mark stuff without permission
)

History:
- Launched in September 1938, HMS Jervis was designed as the flotilla leader for the J-class destroyers, and saw action throughout all of WW2.
- She is jointly (with Orion and Nubian) one of the most decorated ships for Battle Honours in the Royal Navy, second only to Warspite. She was seen as a lucky ship, as despite all the action she saw she never lost a crew member in the whole war to enemy action. Her sister Kelly, leader of the K-class, meanwhile was very much an unlucky ship.
- She spent much of her career in the Mediterranean, escorting convoys and attacking land targets, as well as attacking several Italian convoys. She was present at the Battle of Cape Matapan where she assisted in the sinking of Zara, and finished off Pola after taking off her remaining crew. She also took part in the D-Day landings.
- Post-war she helped police the Italian waters, before being used as an explosives test ship and then scrapped in 1949.

Ship Name: USS Wake Island (CV-44)
Personality: Quiet and seemingly aloof, she gives off a distant persona but she is very caring in her own way
Quirks: Likes to sneak up on others, often gazes off in thought
History:
- Kaga was captured by the USN during the battle of Wake Island where she was repaired, refit, and christened with the name of Wake Island, she acted as another fleet carrier and testbed carrier to pad the fleet
- Was spotted many times by IJN planes and ships and seemed to vanish when they tried to investigate earning the title "Phantom of Wake"
- Got into a carrier battle with IJN Akagi during the battle of the Philippine Sea where Wake Island narrowly avoided being hit by Akagi's planes as she sent her own planes to sink Akagi
- Was used as the ship that Japan signed the articles of surrender
- Served in the USN until she was decommissioned in 1948 and was designated a Museum ship she is now moored in Houston in a permanent dry berth
Dislikes: loud noises, burnt food, uncontrolled fires
- 10 5"/38 guns
- 43 40mm Bofors guns
- 40 20mm Oerlikon guns
- 36 F4U Corsairs
- 36 BTD Destroyers

why yes I am using AL Kaga's design, this is to help delineate her from canon Kaga in my own mind to play her

Then you're approved, but this is probably going to be the last time for you, given past patterns.

Well, our current carriers are all US ones, which had repair facilities on board, but she'd be able to take pressure off them. Plus, as a light carrier herself she could provide air support with her own planes, allowing others to commit to offence more.

Perhaps, but it describes HMS Unicorn as a Carrier Tender, able to build/ replace Carrier losses on the spot, as well as defending themselves. Although...
Would that mean Carriers would be well fed/ cut the costs to field a force of Carriers?
I just had the mental image of a bunch of Carriers following HMS Unicorn to get food.
Can they upgrade a Carrier's Flight Wing if Researched? Can they help obsolete carriers fly better planes?

Yeah, one of Unicorn's main purposes was to support other carriers by replacing their aircraft with ones she had on board. She'd would probably replace lost planes by handing her own to the carriers though, since she'd be losing her own and I'd rather not go for penguin imagery.
She probably wouldn't be able to just upgrade aircraft though, unless you mean swapping outdated aircraft for more up-to-date ones she has.

So, to confirm?
Unicorn as a Carrier Tender could 'Swap Out' plane types with any other Carrier or those Equipped with Aircraft, learn them to build herself, then switch out with another?
... LOL! I just had the image of HMS Unicorn as a Rare Pokemon Trainer/ Trader.
Battling Trainers/ Gyms all across the Pacific.. perhaps trying to mug an Abyssal for their Aircraft.

She can't build her own aircraft. Carriers can replenish lost aircraft by eating enough, but you won't be able to build them.

Is that because of a Steel Hull bit or a Shipgirl concept? I mean, as a Tender you can pretty much do full repairs or rebuild a ship. As a Carrier Tender/ Depot, cant you replenish/ build what you have access too? As a Light Carrier I admit that is not much, but the versatility seems to draw interest.

Tenders can't provide full repairs. At best they'll patchwork a ship to stay functional until reaching a dedicated repair ship or drydock. And rebuilding a ship isn't something that you can really do at sea. As an aircraft repair ship, Unicorn has the ability to repair aircraft, as do any American carriers, but outright building new ones isn't possible outside of eating to replenish supplies.
- Location
- Paradise, Hawaii
But at base, as a Aircraft Carrier Tender/ Depot, they would be able to trade planes out from almost anyone and be a Chef? of sorts, able to cater to Carrier needs to cut down on the food bills?
In practice, any kind of Aircraft they get their hands on, they can Replenish, gaining a Blueprint.
Which they can then 'Swap Out' with another, so A IJN Shipgirl would be able to fly Royal Navy or American or vice versa?
If they do swap out, would the receiving Carrier be able to replenish the new additions?
That still sounds like a Pokemon Trainer in a way, traveling the Pacific and having an "Adventure!"

Any carrier can swap their planes with another carrier, regardless of nation. Unicorn isn't a depot ship though, so she wouldn't be a chef (outside of as a character quirk not related to her ship self's abilities).
You can replenish any aircraft by eating so long as it's part of your air wing and has been shot down. Giving them to another shipgirl removes them from your air wing however.

So, what does that mean for certain Shipgirls if they began the war late and got some "Good Stuff"?
I was mostly thinking of 2 Ships.
HMS Ocean (R68) - Wikipedia
HMS Vengeance (R71) - Wikipedia
Ocean was one of the First to get Jets and a few other things.
Vengeance was sold to Brazil and renamed Minas Gerais which sailed for over 55 years with updates and modernization. Later becoming a Helicopter ASW Spec.
I guess what I am saying is, if their Ship selves got the stuff, can they eventually regain things?

You won't be starting with post-war things, nor will you likely be getting them very soon. Later upgrades won't be limited by what the real ship self had though. Everyone will have the option to upgrade/sidegrade/downgrade to whatever humans have managed to develop thus far.Wikipedia" said:
