So far, your day has gone to form - woke up with a hysterical kid in your room, witnessed Hate In Arachnid Clad, gave Kongou romantic advice of incredibly dubious value, got your bell rung by an emotionally distraught shipgirl (again) and swore an oath you probably can't keep (again.) Compared to all that, the sight of Hornet's dusky cheeks glowing as she bends rebar with her bare fucking hands doesn't faze you one bit.
You scratch your jaw discreetly to cover the motion of checking the headset's controls with your fingertip. Then you lean in close to Hornet, who's wide, empty eyes are staring at her rusty iron rebar “dreamcatcher.” too distant to notice your approach.
“Someone's got a cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush,” you drawl quietly.
Hornet FLINGS her mangled metal at the ground as she snaps to attention so abruptly that her hairfeather keeps quivering a second after she's gone dead still.
“Who,” she says flatly to the water.
You let the shit-eating grin blossom on your face. “You.”
YOU USED THAT TITLE ALREADY
FIRST POST
>>43954376
NB4 Navy
Hornet's faceglow defies easy description now; seeming to radiate luminance like the inexplicably intrinsic glow of blackbody radiation (another metaphor the PR people would have your star for voicing, natch.) She covers her face with both hands, then settles for closing her eyes and charging you blindly, hands out front. You sidestep and hook her ankle foot with your toe, sending her hopping into the shallows on one foot, arms windmilling wildly for balance. She teeters percariously for a few seconds before finally going in with a long, high-pitched EEEEEEE of alarm that probably woke up a few corgis across the base before it's silenced by the anticlimactic “sploot” of her slender body slipping beneath the water.
She surfaces a moment later, raven-black hair glistening beautifully in the summer sun as she sputters and spits in your general direction. “WHAT WAS THAT FOR?”
“You tried to push me in!” you observe reasonably.
“Y-Y-YOOOOOU!” she howls, dashing the water at you with her fist.
“You what?”
“YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!” she says, kneeling in the shallows, her hairfeather drooping sadly as it sheds water. “WH-WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT WOMEN COULD FIT IN MY MOSSICAN WITH ROOM LEFT OVER FOR SAMMY'S DISPLACEMENT!”
“Oh?” you ask. “And you'd know that ho-”
“Hate,” she says primly, crossing her arms over her chest, “told me *all about* the Deployment Party you two had before we shipped out!”
You narrow your eyes at her. “Did he, now.”
“Yes!” she says, turning her chin to one side, eyes closed, face still aglow. “How some honey was making eyes at you and you told her to take a long walk off a short pier-”
“She was wearing a goddamn press badge-”
“-you *groped* her-”
“-AND FOUND THE WIRE-”
“-and just walked away with her panting like a- like she was in season,” she states, hastily amending Hate's account.
>>43954384
>>43954385
“I didn't need a disorderly conduct charge on my record the DAY before shipping to Yokosuka-”
“How is it disorderly? You're single - AND NO WONDER!” She splashes some water at you and pouts.
“Well, I'll take a page out of your book,” you state. You pluck a small memo pad from your breast pocket and apply your nice pen. “To get women - stand on pier and bend pieces of metal together while they do something else.”
“DREAMCATCHER!” she wails, still kneeling waist-deep in the water. “IT'S. MY. DAMN. CULTURE!”
“If seething with silent jealousy from the sidelines is your culture, then that makes me a fucking WAR CHIEF!” you shout back. “Just go talk to him already!”
“W-why d-d-don't you g-g-o talk to ARIZONA?” she retorts.
“FRATRENIZATION!” you retort triumphantly. “AND FUCK HATE FOR FEEDING YOU THAT LINE!”
“Well I'm - I - mean - he could outrank-”
“HAW!”
“W-well h-he was a-attached as my e-escort,” she sputters, her blush intensifying again. “Technically, uh, oh hell.” She simmers quietly in the water, saying no more.
“You done?”
“Mmmm.” She jabs her small hand out. “Help me out.”
You take her hand in your big mitt. She immediately throws her whole weight backwards, but despite the strength in her lean body she can't budge you an inch.
“That's the oldest one in the book, kiddo.”
She tugs and wrestles at your arm for a few more seconds before giving up with a sigh - she really *can't* summon her Outfit at the moment. “Why are you doing this!?” she wails.
You chuckle. “It's all over your face. He'll find out sooner or later.”
Hornet's gaze falls. “So why sho-”
“Because you're not a shrinking violet, damn it. He should see you on your terms, not as Miss Stutter McBlushy.”
“I'm not Irish!” she retorts, sounding slightly offended. “I don't even-”
“Oh lord,” you say, “just ask him out already!”
Hornet sniffs. “Get me out of the water, already!”
You pull her up. She trips over the concrete curb of the dockside and lands against your shoulder -
“-that's what SHE said,” a tinny voice announces in your ear.
Hornet freezes solid. “Wh-wha-”
“Dammit, I did it wrong,” Hamp's merry voice sings on, plainly audible to Hornet, not five inches from your dislodged headset. “Someone says something and you say 'that's what she said' and it adds innuendo, right? But you, uh, actually did say that. Couldn't come up with a drydock joke in time. Strip you down for retfit or something.”
Hornet makes a tiny mewling gurgle like a kitten being waterboarded.
“Yeah, Skipper's mic is on,” Hamp says. “Have you ever heard synchronized giggling?” On cue, some drifts over his own mic. “I'm staaaaarting to see why everyone says they make the best scary movies,” he says apprehensively.
Hornet turns horrified eyes onto you.

Hornet first appears to have superhuman strengh, but then she can't pull Settle. Implying that either
- She has unequal strenght in each situation
or
- Settle has incredible mass and therefore she can't pull him
And being that Settle has human volume, that would imply great density.

Coco get out of here.
You meet Hornet's gaze steadily, standing straight and tall. Let no man say after this day that you ever shirked your duty.
“I regret NOTHING,” you say defiantly.
Hornet makes a sound somewhere between a war-whoop and a growl as she tackles you, her arms wrapping around you tightly before heaving... and lifting you an inch off the ground. She huffs and puffs and draws in more air, and manages to get you two inches this time.
“My god,” Hamp breathes through the radio, “STANDING position!?”
With a final triumphant cry Hornet pitches over backwards - and then, quite suddenly, you're airborne. You have a few seconds to appreciate the wind ruffling your crisp working khaki before you arc towards the water and impact with a spectacular splash.

Whats your armor and armament scheme like?
As you sink towards the sandy bottom, it occurs to you that a damaged boiler can't build much steam, or keep it long, but if you're stupid enough to stand around and let them get a draft up, well - ! You'll find yourself here, slowly settling against the bottom like a scuttled ship, watching your hat float towards the surface. You could float yourself, but you have a mental image of Hornet lofting a few of those rebar lengths like lances and keep your muscles tense to stay right where the fuck you are.
It's nice down here, and cool. When's the last time you went swimming? Just put on some drunks and jumped in?
Before LA, actually, before... before the scar.
The surface ripples some feet above your head; the shimmering red-white colors of a life preserver, barely visible against the sunlight glaring through the surface. One of the destroyer girls playing hero, you suppose - in their day a great many sailors didn't know how to swim.

There's no harm in this, Settle can just swim up if they fail, it's not like Settle is crippled or anything.

Boxing is more likely. Boxing was *hugely* popular in the US in the 30s and early 40s, and just about every ship had its own boxers who would fight each other and representatives of other ships.

I go for quasi-BC configurations, fast B with big main armament and lower-than-average armor (9 belt, 2,5 deck, etc.). Problem being, they tend to not hit anything and be big fat targets for the other CAs and Bs.
Weirdly enough, I tried an almost identical config for a CA with even less armor and a bit faster, and it works wonders.
