You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!
"HEERMAN!" You scream as you watch your sister ship disappear in a cloud of fire and ocean spray.
She... she intercepted those torpedoes meant for you...
The world seems to slow down all around you. To your right, you could see Johnston pivoting, her fear and concern clear on her face as she twists her body to see what's happening. Kilo One and Two begin swooping low for attack runs, muzzle flashes from their rifles blazing. You could almost see the individual bullets whizzing down at the water.
But your eyes remain focused on Heerman's motionless body, lying facedown in the water, along with bits and pieces of what was left of her rigging, and a mixture of oil and blood swirling around her.

What will be of the taffy 3 without Heerman!? she must LIVE!!
>>44656661
I will note that in real life, the destroyer Shaw had her forward magazines explode at Pearl Harbor, losing everything forward of the forward stack, including the bridge(!). She was salvaged, fitted with a "stub" temporary bow, sailed to San Francisco, repaired, and survived the rest of the war on combat duty. Shaw was a pre-war destroyer, smaller, lighter, and less damage-resistant than the Fletchers that make up our group. Four pictures of Shaw, showing the damage and the temporary repairs.
This post: "Starboard view of bow of SHAW in Floating Dry Dock, showing extent of damage to forward part of ship. Pearl Harbor, 12/8/41"
>>44656674
Nice tokens! How's your campaign so far?
>>44656661
"U.S.S. SHAW (DD 373) - On Marine Railway. Looking aft. Pearl Harbor, 12/19/41"
There were other cases of destroyers hit by torpedoes in the extreme bow or stern losing part of the ship, but being salvaged and repaired during the war--the only real reliable way of killing a destroyer for good with a torpedo was hitting amidships, opening up the machinery spaces. There's a good chance that Heerman isn't necessarily DEAD, but she's in a VERY bad place--she's definitely dead in the water (not able to make any headway) and in the middle of enemy territory. My advice: Get EVERYONE in there to provide support, so that you can finish off the PT boat and their tender, and then tow Heerman's unconscious ass the hell out of Dodge. (I'd say tow her first, but that's not really an option under these conditions.)
>>44656532
>You need to help her!
>>44656532
>>You need to help her!
>>44656661
"USS Shaw at Mare Island Navy Yard to receive a new bow, Feb. 1942." Good view of the stub bow that was added; from the abrupt change in the hull lines, you can see how much shorter it was.
Also, PT boats are little wooden boats that displace 100 tons, tops--usually closer to 50. GET THE ANTIAIRCRAFT GUNS INTO THE FIGHT. Your 20mms will tear them up really good. The 40mms will SHRED them. Your five-inchers are almost TOO powerful for the boats; use them at longer ranges. In close, the sheer rate of fire of the AA guns makes them much more effective, even without proper directors--you can just "walk" the shells onto the target, and they're murderously effective against hulls that are essentially racing speedboats.
The only ship I'd hold back from close-assaulting would be White--she's built on a tanker hull and can't really survive any torpedo damage, she's slow and unmaneuverable, and her flight deck is too easily torn up, while she doesn't have enough guns to be effective in a shootout, no matter what she did to Choukai with the Luckiest Five-Inch Burst Ever. Portland should concentrate her main battery on the tender, obviously, but her five-inch and AA batteries would be very helpful, and Sandy is almost ideally suited to this kind of fight, while the LCSes are as fast and nimble as the PTs, but with more size and more punch.

>dose pics.
JESUS.
Imagine how that damage translates into the human bodies of shipgirls, the image is not pretty.
>>44656661
"U.S.S. SHAW (DD 373) Stern section in No. 1 Dry Dock after removal of temporary bow. Mare Island, California, Feb. 28, 1942." Note that the forward stack, left in place solely so that her forward boiler room could supply steam for the run to California, has been removed, as it was really no longer structurally sound. Really, Shaw was pretty much blown in half by the magazine explosion.
>>44656674
So who's in your group?
>>44656701
Pretty good! Here's a little representation of our first victory!
>>44656770
I hate to say from looking at those pics, I am afraid they didn't find all the remains of the unlucky sailors who where basically reduced to red paste from an explosion that did that damage.
>>44656699
>>44656733
This gives me a gigantic boner for democracy.
>>44656855
I meant what the damage on a shipgirl's body would be like if something like that happened.
>>44656770
Damn right. And this isn't the *real* guro. Look up Cassin and Downes on Navsource sometime, to see what was left of them after bombs aimed at the Pennsylvania (in the same drydock) missed and hit them instead.
I'll give you a hint: the "repairs" that returned them to service consisted of taking off what few bits of equipment were still serviceable, then building entire new destroyers around that and giving them the same names and hull numbers.
>>44656926
>Gentlemen, we can rebuild them. We have the technology.
>>44656780
>not to be released for publication
Heh.
>>44656780
Aaaaaaaaand I completely forgot to include the last paragraph of what I was writing. Here it is.
One last thing--during the Pacific war, US tank crews were bedeviled by Japanese infantry who would literally climb up onto the tank to try and pry open hatches and drop grenades down them. Their solution was something insane, but extremely effective. They would operate in small groups, and if one of them had infantry start climbing onto the tank, they'd radio the others to "scratch my back," at which point, the other tanks in the formation would hose them down with .30-06 coaxial machine gun fire, killing the infantry while not damaging the tank significantly. It might be time to bring that tactic up with the other destroyers--if we hosed each other down with 20mm fire, it'd certainly knock off the PT boats swarming onto us, but do "only a flesh wound"-level ignorable damage to us. (We'd certainly need to heal up when we got back to base, but 20mm isn't going to do any serious damage except MAYBE to our radar.)
>>44656699
>>44656733
>>44656770
Kancolle serious mode is serious.
>>44656966
with MJOLNIR armor?
>>44656966
>>44657042
except they're still alive, and can feel the damage to their systems and hull. And there's no translatable form of shipgirl anesthetic to knock them out and spare them the ever living pain of every piece of torn and bent metal, every burst pipe,every single piece of metal being welded together, every single square inch of stress and structures on the verge of failure translated into the pain and agonies of a human body.
>>44657052
No wonder some come back as abyssals.
>>44656855
Yeah, I doubt they were even red paste. This is the photo of the Shaw exploding; yes, that IS a battleship in the lower right foreground, giving scale to the size of the explosion.
>>44656532
"Johnston! Cover me!" You shriek. The blast from the torpedoes managed to shake up the gang of PT boats that had been bogging you down, allowing you to break free of their disabling grips. A quick sweep of your gun blasts them apart as you make full steam towards the fallen Heerman.
"Got it!" Johnston scowls, a seemingly red aura glowing around her as she speeds at the remaining PT boats, dropping 5 inch shells into them. Kilo One and Two provide what assistance they can as well, swooping low and picking off more PT boats trying to get around Johnston.
You finally reach Heerman. Up close, the damage didn't look AS bad. Heerman's body was fairly intact, despite all of the cuts, bruises, and burns. Her Rig, however, was a different story. Most of it looked as if it was shredded off like paper, thick black smoke flowing out of the breaches.
And then you see it. Her fairies. Easily a dozen of the little things immediately start crawling out of hidden cavities in Heerman's Rig, carrying tools and fire hoses and all sorts of miniature damage control gear, desperately putting out fires and sealing up breaches. Another group of fairies lifts Heerman's head out of the water so she can still breathe, while one hops onto the highest point of her Rig, furiously waving a pair of signal flags at you.
"I know it's an SOS! I'm right here!" You hiss. "I she alive?"
(cont)
>>44657149
The fairy immediately begins waving the flags even more frantically. Boilers intact but flooded. Massive structural damage. No contact from the bridge, which you assumed they were referring to Heerman herself. Thankfully, though, it seemed the flooding and fires were under control, so she wasn't in immediate danger of sinking. At least not yet.
"Captain! Captain!" You yell in your radio. "H-Heerman is down! We need immediate assistance!"
"Kilo One already reported it. The Tarawa is already scrambling a CASEVAC bird." The Captain responds. "It should be there in three minutes, but we recommend you get her clear to a safer area first."
You look up to see that there was still a sizable number of PT boats, not to mention the Mothership, which was still producing more and was still glaring at you in a murderous rage.

"Johnston! Get back here!" You wave your sister ship over.
"What do you need?" Johnston pants as she circles back, letting the Kilos handle the PT boats for the moment.
"Get Heerman clear to a safe landing zone!" You say as you pick up Heerman's limp body and shove her into Johnston's arms. "Just pick a direction and go! I'll keep the PT boats off you!"
"But what about-"
"I'll be fine!" You bark. "Just go!"
Johnston gives you a worried look before hauling Heerman over her shoulder and speeding away at full steam.
You turn around back to the Mothership, still cranking out PT boats. You see the Mothership's pale face and enraged red eyes meet yours. She sees Johnston retreating with Heerman, and realizing that you're alone, gives an evil and smug smile.
Yeah bitch, keep thinking you have the advantage.

Cmon guys, we can charge with Johnston together AFTER she gets Heerman safely transported. Kicking that Mothership's ass is fine and all, but there's no need to go at it alone.
>>44657530
Ohhhhh, that bitch was gonna pay. You were gonna fucking DESTROY her.
"Kilo One, Two, I'm heading straight for the big fish! Can you cover me?" You ask.
"Ya got it, little miss!" Kilo One chortles. You see the two helicopters circle around for another pass, flying criminally low as their crews fire their assault rifles with wild precision at the PT boats below as you steam forward. Heavy .50 caliber beowulf rounds tear through the relatively unarmored creatures like butter, leaving flailing and twitching corpses as the only obstacles to your path.
The Mothership herself didn't look heavily armed or armored, but it was still an Abyssal, and you weren't totally sure of its capabilities. However, it quickly shows one when it starts expelling fresh torpedoes from orifices in its bloated main body, picking them up with its multiple skeletal service arms and just tossing them at you like spears.
This was gonna require some damn precise maneuvering or marksmanship...

However many torpedoes the Mothership was tossing at you, the fact of the matter was that it was not tossing them very accurately. You strafe to starboard quickly to avoid a pair of torpedoes as they nosedive right into the water next to you, exploding when you're already far beyond their effective blast radius. You shoot back to port to avoid another trio of torpedoes, and duck as one lands ahead of you at an odd angle, tumbling and skipping through the water and narrowly avoiding the top of your smokestack by a handful of feet as it cartwheels over you.
And you find your moment, a brief window where all of the Mothership's arms have expended their ammunition, leaving it open to retaliation for a few critical seconds.

Your thigh mounted torpedo launcher swivels into place as it takes aim. Against a target this big and slow, and at this range, there was no way you could miss. The Mothership, apparently realizing what's about to happen, gives one last shriek at you, her red eyes spitting nothing but rage and hate at you.
"Have fun at the bottom of the sea, bitch." You grunt as you give the signal.
With a loud WHUMP, your torpedo launchers eject their payloads, dropping four torpedoes into the water as they snake towards the Mothership. You pull a sharp starboard turn away from the Mothership. The massive Abyssal shrieks impotently as the torpedoes impact, causing a massive explosion that sends fire billowing out in a black and orange cloud.
"YEEEEHAAAAW!" Kilo One hollers. "You nailed that varmint good!"
And just like that, all of the PT boats scream and wail as they rush back to the burning corpse of the Mothership. The main body had been blown open like a ripe fruit, and of the smaller humanoid half, you saw nothing. Most likely incinerated in the blast. The stench of the smoke was rancid, smelling something like burning oil and sewage. The surviving PT boats huddle around the burning hulk, whimpering like wounded animals.
You get the feeling that without the Mothership, these tiny Abyssals weren't going to survive long on their own.

Hopefully soon (if Miss Mengelr hasn't toruted her to death already) but I was talking about the Legless Wonder from last thread.

You decide that you might as well put all these little fuckers out of their misery. Even if they weren't a threat now, didn't mean they couldn't be one in the future. Your onboard fairies quickly load fresh torpedoes into your launcher, which you quickly fire again at the Mothership's corpse, engulfing all of the surviving PT boats and silencing their wails forever.
That's when you hear the sounds of multiple helicopter rotors. You crane your head up to see a fleet of Ospreys and Seahawks flying in, dropping troops and scientists donning biohazard gear as they move to recover what's left of the Mothership and her "children". One Osprey touches down near you, and you see the Captain himself standing on the ramp.
"Hoel." He says simply. "Good job."
He doesn't show any overt happiness or joy, no doubt because he still was keeping the current situation in mind.
