TWITTER: FUCK IT
ARCHIVES: DOUBLE FUCK IT
Predictably, your mood went straight to hell after the phone call.
After trading threats and dire promises with a dangerous man, your emotions are naturally keyed up for a fight - but today, there's only more paperwork. Hamp liberates a book from your shelf and is happily tearing through it at impressive pace as you catch up on the mundane, but vital matters that go into running even a small military force - even one with such streamlined supply requirements as yours. There's an official dietitian report on your shipgirls; complete with calorie counts - the most notable addition is that Hornet has taken to adding sliced pickles to her hamburgers. Damage reports are better - a report from Wainwright has landed in your in-box detailing Hornet's surprisingly rapid recovery. There's a PS on the bottom...
“Hamp?”
He looks up at you. “Ayo, skip.”
“Have you been to see the doctor?”
“Sawbones? What for?”
“You kind of got the shit shot out of you in that scrap, didn't you?”
“So? Didn't have my bow blown off or anything.”
You squint at him. “But... doesn't it hurt?”
He looks politely thoughtful for a second. “For a while? I guess?” He shrugs and turns the next page in his book.
“Well, when you get a chance visit the hospital and let the doctor have a look at you.”
“I'm fine.”
“I know. He needs help with a theory,” you half-lie.
“Whazzat?”
“Seems to think American ship... people heal a mite faster.”
Hamp snorts. “No shit.”
The next e-mail is a quick briefing update on the state of sea control in general - and it catches your attention instantly. Icebergs have been spotted drifting much too far south, especially for this time of year, threatening to cause hazards in shipping lanes. Of more immediate importance is reports of intensified anti-convoy activity on the part of the abyssals - a pair of submarines were run off by a pair of Chinese destroyers escorting a grain convoy over the Sea of Japan, and the LCS-1 engaged a pair of surface raiders in an after-dark running gun battle for an hour before the abyssals were forced to disengage under smoke, minutes before P-8s from Hawaii could arrive.
You fire off an email to the intel division requesting more details on the submarine attack. Freedom's surface battle, just from the sitrep, sounded legendary - but the submarines are in your backyard and they worry you far more. You remember the SSN skippers reports after the Bonin islands - their protracted undersea duel with very canny subs.
Your inbox is finally clear, and you lean back with a sigh.
All things considered... you're not really sure what to do.
[ ] Write-in.

You know, maybe I should meet with Goto, discuss this whole Yakuza thing with him.
After that, probably check up on other shipgirls, have a chance to introduce new characters.
As a side note: Arashi. Now that girl has ISSUES, considering she unwittingly led the dive bombers that sank Akagi, Kaga, and Soryuu to their location and reversing the course of the war for the Japanese.

[x] Write a report and send a letter to Admiral Thomas and Goto about the phone we just had with the Yakuza, their relations with the Yakuza group that tried to kill us, what details and connections we uncovered, and a recommended course of action that threats to USN military readiness and ability to protect vital supply convoys to Japan be met with EXTREME PREJUDICE by Japanese police assets.
It's not like the Japanese police to pass up a chance to go full Edo Penal Code on someone.
So wait, are we just going to forget about Iwo Jima?

Doubt there's much we can do on that front. Got a real admiral handling things there atm

Iwo Jima might be good too, but Thomas has it covered.

We were always observers. There's admirals who have actually got the job of RUNNING that show; we were just watching and seeing how it went. If they need us, they'll call. Then its time to strap the fuck in because if they need us, it is NOT going well.
>>44822133
Okay guys, we need to think:
What have we ever said, "We need to ____ later?" Like, is there absolutely ANYTHING that's been waiting for a solution? I'd LOVE to say 'fairies' but I know there's higher-priority shit to deal with first.
So let's have it. A list of What Needs Doing.
I know that sorting shit out with ourharemfleet is on there, as we did Arizona a disservice.
Talking to Goto about Yamato is also on the list, but that's recent.
What have we been sitting on for far too long? Can anybody think?

Kind of low-key, wouldn't you say? But yeah, that needs doing. Drop it off at the armoury?
>>44822459
I'm going with this.
The girls need help. We can try and try as much as we wish, but we cannot provide that all of the time. Sure, an open-door policy, or loosening the chain of command so they see us more as a friend than an office would be great, but it's only a start!
These shipgirls need the kind of help we can't give. And maybe a shrink that's trained and used to humans can't help either, but it's a goddamn start.
There's a hundred other things to do, like figure out the fairies role or how they could help us with upgrades, but first and foremost, we need to see to the mental health of our kanmusu.

Uh, I think our main fucking problem is that not enough ships see us as an officer. We are an Admiral: we are there to lead, not play at being a shrink. If we CAN by some miracle, sort out a problem someone has, halle-fucking-lujah, but it is not and has never been the reason we're there.
As far as shit 'counseling' goes, so far the best results seem to have come from honest human interaction. Naka with Wayne, Goto telling off Hornet, Shigure and MARINE, Yamato and Hate. Kaga and Goto, etc.
I'm not honestly sure how to go about it or anything but somehow encouraging the girls and the humans on base to mingle more will probably be an excellent help.
There's the obvious security issues and superstition and all that, but still.
>>44822663
All that's brilliant as well. >>44822709 And fuck 'proposals'. We're the one in charge of the US Navy's kanmusu in this theater! If we really push it, we could probably get a goddamn Executive Order passed by tomorrow!
Plus I just love the scenes where the shipgirls/boys are all open-mouthed at the world they've come back to. This thread could literally be JUST that and I'd still read it.
Do we have *any* idea where to go next re: Arizona? Like let's pretend we have a free slot in our itinerary reserved for Arizona things. What do we even want to accomplish?
Are we going to give Shoukaku the "Sorry I can't continue this in good conscience" speech? Walk back our previous talk as hard as possible? Ignore her and hope that this becomes the status quo?
>>44822118
ITS TIME
>>44822804
er, ship counseling, not shit counseling.
>>44822798
Yeah- they need to have human connections, but having it be basically only with the admiral is kind of fucking things
>>44822812
Too bad we don't get many older ships, like Age of Sail. They'd be fun.
>>44822819
Well something clearly needs to be done, some sort of resolution to her clinginess. Perhaps, the infamous "just friends," speech, but of course that isn't likely to end well. I don't think there's really any safe answer there.
I see a lot of "TALK TO GOTO" so I'll take "Go talk to Goto about Things as well as Yamato" as the winner here!
WRITING

Hamp could just be /really/ flat chested.
>>44822804
>translation: I've never been to counseling
Who says it has to be in front of a literal shrink, although I'd recommend that for ships that got treated terribly or have some "I failed to save them" complex.
It could just be group sessions and activities.
>>44822819
For the moment? Nothing.
Does Shoukaku need the speech?
No, Shoukaku needs a different speech- the "stop fucking clinging to me when I keep trying to pry you off, just because I was nice to you and took you on one date doesn't make me your goddamn waifu you spiritual neckbeard" speech.
>>44822804
>I'm not honestly sure how to go about it or anything but somehow encouraging the girls and the humans on base to mingle more will probably be an excellent help.
>There's the obvious security issues and superstition and all that, but still.
This sounds the best to me.
What is the situation like as far as social interaction goes? What happened with Shigure doesn't paint a pretty picture. I suspect ship girls stick to themselves away from everyone else.
Need to change that.
>>44822798
We can't treat them as girls and expect them to fight effectively.
We can't treat them as ships and expect them to not go insane.
We need to treat them as both. We're their Admiral AND their friend/lover/father/big brother at once. Shipgirls are literally THE most complicated military asset humanity has ever had, because they ARE humanity and the sum of their steel parts all in one adorable package.
>>44822854

>>44822891
I would argue that human interaction with the outside world would probably be a somewhat poor idea, considering the otakus.

Treat Arizona as a daughter is our best case scenario.
Average case is strict professionalism.
Worse case is that she's already well on the way to becoming an Abyssal.
As for Shoukaku, we'll see when we get there/see her again.
>>44822886
I'm afraid not. Hamp is clearly a man.
>>44822743
I like that one a lot better.
>>44822881
Oh fuckin good.
So that's where she ran off to. WELP.
>>44822891
Well, the various writeups have painted a few pictures. Some of the girls are getting along sweel with the other military personel, notably Marines. A few of them are comfortable with the civilians, but they're a lot more mixed and more likely to be spooked.
>>44822928
I didn't mean the outside world, I meant others in the armed forces.

The Empire died because after slugging it out with Germany for two bloody rounds, most of which was while the Americans were sitting on their brains, peddling weapons to both damn sides and gleefully declaring, "LALALA NOT MY PROBLEM," there were only 14 villages in the United Kingdom that hadn't had SOMEONE in them die!

>>44823093
Aaaand you honestly believe that the best way to solve this problem would be to treat her like a child? Blow off everything that's happened between them like it's not happened? More to the point, do you actually think that Arizona would be fucking happy with such an arrangement?
>>44823237
On behalf of all Bongs reading this thread, I'd like to state that we most certainly are not all like this guy, and we are so, so sorry
>>44823237
Not only do you lack a stiff upper lip but also a proper understanding of your own history. Well done.
>>44822972
Oh, she's perfectly fucking fine, I'm sure. As long as it's not her going to meet one of you fucks we're ok.
You know what I want to see?
Iowa and Yamato teaming up to find the best Waifu for everyone's favorite Maine officer, Hate.
>>44822943
Level with me: If Yamato wasn't who she was and some person you met elsewhere in your life, would you or would you not consider being in a relationship with her
>>44823336
Upon further though, you're right. That would likely lead to further bad case scenarios.
Doesn't mean we can salvage it right now.
>>44823254
>promptly broke Arizona's heart by saying 'never gonna happen'
Except we didn't vote for that. We voted for the "stop thinking I'm fucking worth something" pity party, and tearing ourself down because we were trying to convince her not to like us for both of our own goods.
'It would destroy us both if something happened after we went for it' is almost the exact opposite of 'never gonna happen'
>>44823369
I refuse to fucking answer that question on the basis that it's not grounded in fucking reality.
>>44823354
Hey Hate. What would Iowa say when she finds out that you've been cheating on her?
>>44823237
>peddling weapons to both damn sides and gleefully declaring, "LALALA NOT MY PROBLEM,"

It's not actually cheating on her if he actually isn't with her in that way.
Which I assume he isn't.

We aren't going to make things with Arizona any less awkward or problematic by treating her like a child or trying to restart a romance with her.
Best thing to do is leave the situation be and she how she handles it, before making any moves we can't take back. Maybe asking Hornet to keep her occupied or let Arizona vent on her might be the best bet.
>>44823430
And that's exactly what he's been saying.
>>44823365
So a threesome involving two of the most powerful battleships put to sea and a single marine?
>>44823354
As far as IJN boats go, I prefer Nagato, but I certainly wouldn't pass up Yamato.
>>44823430
I know, but I want to see how Hate reacts.
IOWA FUCKING HATE UNTIL HE BECOMES A FAIRY WHEN
>>44823386
Actually Planefag said we ' tore Arizona's heart up into confetti'....that sounds a lot like we broke her heart Arizonafag.
The St. Louis sisters.
Captcha is oceans????!
>>44823386
Like seriously, what the fuck are y'all smoking.
>I'm not handling the burden of command very well
>They don't play by the rules, and I've given them plenty of reasons to want me dead. Nobody's really safe, you know?
>You can't go making life and death decisions when you're wrapped up emotionally with... certain people like that. I've been doing it myself, I... I know.
That is not the sound of 'Never gonna happen".
That is the fucking sound of "I'm scared if we let it happen we'll both drown when things go wrong"
>>44823283
I could be a brony? Look, I don't hate on your tastes is all I'm saying.
>>44823296
Well we couldn't very well let Jerry know how badly we were reeling, could we? Besides, we knew the stakes. That was the last hurrah of the Empire and it cost us another half-million. No way in hell we could come back from that. By that point, I think the wars had taken something close to 2% of the population!
>>44823336
>>44823340
Alright, so what exactly am I doing so wrong here? Please enlighten me.
>>44823405
Okay, maybe the weapons thing was incorrect, but America DEFINITELY had an isolationist streak until roughly the end of WW2, you cannot even BEGIN to tell me it didn't!
>>44823393
In what bizzaro world is that even a fucking issue?
>>44822743
not fat enough
>>44823473
SOON
>>44823482
>Captcha is oceans????!
That's dangerously close to me needing a shot.
>>44823482
>gun turrets
>St. Louis
Is it just me or does something seem off here?
>>44823482
They seem underdressed.
>>44823481
Well yeah, saying 'this is too dangerous to let happen' is still a rejection. Just not the dramatic declaration of finality that people seem to be thinking it is.
>>44823237
>The Empire died because after slugging it out with Germany for two bloody rounds, most of which was while the Americans were sitting on their brains, peddling weapons to both damn sides and gleefully declaring, "LALALA NOT MY PROBLEM," there were only 14 villages in the United Kingdom that hadn't had SOMEONE in them die! YOU try running an empire while you're trying to re-build your damn country and recover from a beating like that!
I was going to reply and then I realized that maybe people should chill the fuck out and not pile the fuck on aaaayyyyyy?
AAAYYYYY? ALL OF YOU, AAAAAAY
>>44823463
More like two older sisters trying to set up their younger dumb bother with one of there friends.
And captcha is drinks, all beer pics...
>>44823506
BULLSHIT. YOU QUIT YOU FUCKING WING FAG. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE FUCKING THREATS LIKE THAT YOU SHITBAG
>>44823052
I'm getting you both locked in a room.
>>44823508
I had boats just a moment ago. Have a shot for me.
>>44823493
You wouldn't have won the Second World War if not for the Arsenal of Democracy, though.
>>44823520
Different St. Louis
>>44823493
>Okay, maybe the weapons thing was incorrect, but America DEFINITELY had an isolationist streak until roughly the end of WW2, you cannot even BEGIN to tell me it didn't!
And look at what acting like the world police has gotten us
>>44823539
GO KNOCK UP A BATTLESHIP
>>44823487
Thank you, someone who gets it
>>44823555
God damn it anon, as you wish.
>>44823520
You're thinking C-20. The pic is CL-49.
>>44823536
Close enough.
I think captcha is trying to tell you something, though.
>>44823531
ayy lmao?
>>44823568
HE CANT SHE WONT EMMIGRATE
>>44823493
Not even that DURING WW2.
Get your fact straight mate.
>>44823591
Those shore batteries gotta be installed sometime, right?
Thread reminder that almost all of the Kagerou class are for lewds.
>>44823581
Figures.
Tier III shipfu when?
>>44823493
>but America DEFINITELY had an isolationist streak until roughly the end of WW2, you cannot even BEGIN to tell me it didn't!
>Lend-lease, Destroyers for bases was Isolationist
>Japanese Oil Embargo was isolationist
>Washington Treaty was isolationist
>Repossessing Spain's colonial empire was isolationist
America hasn't been isolationist since the end of the Civil War, no matter what some wold like to think.
>>44823498
One where you're sort of in a relationship with a giant death machine due to being part of her crew. And her saving your life and shit.GET YOUR DICK WET IN HER POOP DECK YOU PANSY ASS EXCUSE FOR A MARINE!
>>44823487
They're smoking straight up denial. They don't want to get into a relationship with Ari, so they deny that there's any attraction at all.
>>44823591
She doesn't have to emigrate. Just make sure she gives berth on US soil.
>>44823354
Hate, you really think we would bully Yamato?
I'm wounded
>>44823630
Your definition of Isolationist seems to be "North Korea"
>>44823577
You're a good man. Doing two countries proud.
>>44823617
Erm, anon... she's probably Abyssal. She's from the right era.
>>44823520
This is the St. Louis you're looking for.
Captcha bananas.
>>44823498
So you're saying that she's okay with it and you have a threesome going on with the world's most buxom battleships?
Lucky bastard...
>>44823663
In an industrialised society, it's frankly impossible for it to be any other way. The world became too interconnected long ago.
Hey, so as a little update to our game, we've just added a new ship to the roster! The USS Jason!
Also, in other news, Tashkent, in her usual Russian fashion, got our captured Abyssal drunk when she force fed it alcohol and she and Vetehinen rode it around like a makeshift jetski, pissing off just about everybody in the fleet.
We are now about to assault Hawaii to rescue it from a massive Abyssal blockade.
>>44823531
Indeed.
>>44823652
>gives berth
>>44823506
>>44823539
Yamato lewds too when?
>>44823720
We should get the Corgis drunk and see what happens.
Oh gee, look at the time!
Late as usual, dammit.
>>44823720
That is amazing.
I know this ain't her but tell that this pic doesn't look like Pacifics Chicago.
Captcha coffee
>>44823668
Being Abyssal is more a function of how the ship served during it's operational life and how it's remembered.
I can dream, damn it.
>>44823689
That's more like it.
Only healthy ships allowed
>>44823766
Bad Idea Anon, is that you?
>>44823591
There's one who's already with him.
>>44823487
Exactly.
There's a hint of attraction and shit but acting on it right now could explode messily for both of them and not in the fun way like with the hooker the Arizona smuggled to california.
>>44823689
>Dat hip-check of doom
>>44823766
Buddy, you do know what Torpedo Juice is right? Those little fucks could drink half the marines on the base under the table, one after another!
>>44823647
And on the flipside they think that Settle cares a hell of a lot more about Shoukaku than he actually does
>>44823766
Getting your dog drunk is hilarious and awesome and everyone should do it at least once.
>>44823766
That's the thing anon PT crews sustained themselves on alcohol, rage, and insanity.
>>44823766
DID IT ALREADY
>>44823720
>USS Jason
>no hockey mask
>>44823789
Stack cooking.
I think I spoiler it right.
Captcha is oceans
>>44823845
>no antiship machete
come on anon
>>44823810
>There's a hint of attraction
>a hint
Bro Goto had to bail us out after we were so concerned for Ari we trailed off all all dramatic-like something out of a romcon in front of our literal boss, because he knows that exact feel
>>44823652
This. Hate can get some shore leave and spend time with best battleship.
>>44823789
>South Dakota literally gave up two of her AA turrets so that she could fit an Admiral inside her
American Kongo confirmed, she literally sacrificed offensive and defensive power for his dick.
Well, as usual I work on sundays so won't be monitoring this.
A [REDACTED] is fine too, but we really should look into the whole shipslut PTSD treatment thing.
>>44823766
Sorry, no Corgis in this campaign! We're not running off strict KCQ rules!
>>44823924
Boatgirl counselling sounds like a good idea.
>>44823487
At least someone gets it.
>>44823482
USS St. Louis and USS Helena
Goddammitplanefaghowmuchlongeryoumakeuswait
>>44823938
I meant it more as a general idea, but gotcha. Been reading up on yours, victorian shipsluts are best shipsluts.
Hey guys!
So I was browsing google idly about ol' Higgins, and I found this.
>>44823988
As long as he pleases.
>>44823970
It scares me that anon is finally learning in a Planefag quest.
>>44822459
I dunno, she seemed fine to me.
>>44823531
Lmao?
>>44823789
best
>>44823970
Hey anon, do you know how she died?
>>44824012
Your looking at the wrong girl
>>44823996
So Settle's ship is a trap?
>>44823909
She carried Nimitz into Tokyo Bay for the surrender and Halsey out. She even carried both at the same time once.
>>44823996
Is that a flat-chested girl or a trap?
>>44824026
Are you implying Essex will be a source of PTSD?
Because I can believe it.
>>44824019
Bastard! I'm now thinking lewd thoughts about spanking a battleship.
>>44823992
I know, right?
>>44823996
>watch
out or he'll shoot you with his gas pump
>>44824036
>>44824066
It's not gay if it's underway~
