You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!
Currently, though, you were doing less actual combat operations and more repeated and numerous rehearsals for the big refloating ceremony for the USS Constitution, of which the President of the United States himself would be participating. Because of this, everything had to be picture perfect, as well as smoothly coordinated with the local authorities and the dozens upon dozens of security agencies being pulled in to protect both the event and the President. You swear that the entire Boston Harbor was practically being occupied by a small army.
Then again, your own role was simple enough. You'd all sail out and keep pace with the Constitution as it sailed out of the harbor for a few miles before turning around and returning to dock, past the huge and adoring crowds. Shouldn't take more than an hour or so.
Assuming nothing went wrong.
But with all the security in the harbor, and the presence of a full carrier battlegroup vigilantly guarding the open waters outside, chances of some kind of Abyssal attack were extremely low. Nevertheless, since the country was still in a state of open war, you and the rest of your task force were all authorized to carry live ammunition, just in case.

"Excellent! Perfect!" Mr. Pearson, one of the White House's PR coordinates, clapped heartily and a bit over-zealously as you all returned to port from the last rehearsal of the day. "Just keep things like that and tomorrow's even will be perfect!"
"Ya know, with all this rehearsal, you'd think we'd at least see the President at least once!" Johnston pouted.
"The President is a busy man, dearie." Pearson tuts. "Not only does he have to run a global war effort, but he needs to keep the morale of the American people up, which means what little time he's not camping out in the war room, he's on the road trying to convince everybody the bad times are behind us!"
"He has a point." Heerman points out.
"Hrrrrrm." Johnston grumbles, not completely convinced.
"Well, we'll for sure see him tomorrow." Portland says quickly in an attempt to salve Johnston's hurt pride.
"Well, good work, girls, I'll see you all tomorrow at the event." North Carolina says simply and smoothly as she walks past you all. You're not sure why, but there's something about the way she walks. It's not robotic or rigid like her prim and proper demeanor would suggest. No, she GLIDES across the ground as easily as she sails across the sea, kind of like how a stage performer or actress knew how to move around, which seemed to add even more to the mystique surrounding her...

Now that you think about it, does anyone think that Iowa had to do a bit of an 'image change' after she came back for PR purposes?
>>47361494
>>Tag along with North Carolina.
>>47361681
The problem with this is battleship.
If the battleship doesn't want to do an image change there is nothing you can do to force her.
>>47361681
Well this Iowa seems to be somewhat serious, so at most I'm guessing she did one or two PR pieces
>>47361681

>>47361594
>tales from the warships
Is this referencing you playing WoWS?
>>47361681
Assuming Merc is using her KC design as opposed to something somewhat original (Which archetype was she again? Like Big E=Janice, and SC=Jenner)
>>47361749
>more 'family friendly' image
As if that would ever stop horny sailors
>>47361780
I think she didn't have an archetype, since this was before canon Iowa was released, and her character was more serious and straight-laced than the silly one KC officially gave us
>>47361494
You decide to tag along with North Carolina. You were genuinely curious about learning more about the cool and distant battleship. She was kind of the polar opposite of Iowa, who was always very warm and joyful, and you guess you could say a bit "rustic". North Carolina on the other hand always seemed to be very serious and calm, like she was always in control of the situation. It was probably why she was considered the fleet's second best battleship, slightly behind Iowa, of course. You give a quick farewell to your task force as you dash after North Carolina.
"Hey! NC!" You wave happily. "Where you going off to?"
"Well," North Carolina turns and gives you a very serious stare, as if measuring every part of you, "I was just going to the docks to recover some stamina, maybe get something to eat. Why?"
"Ya mind if I tag along?" You ask hopefully.
North Carolina pauses for a moment, and then shrugs.
"I don't see why not."
"Sweet!" You happily bound up next to her.

Never read Pararescue Witches so I have no idea what she's like.

Aren't we lucky?

>>47362193
She was very protective of her squadron of witches, and kept bullying Pierce.
>>47362255
its not bullying, its SISTERLY love!

So I guess this means Iowa is protective of her DDs and bullies NorCal

>>47362104
"Well," You speak up as the both of you reach temporary shipgirl dock that was erected in Boston Naval Yard, "I was kind of wondering how exactly you came back."
"Ah, I see." North Carolina nods, as if this was a question she was asked quite often. "Well, it's not like it was anything particularly special. I came back fairly early in conflict, when the Navy was evacuating Guam in the face of the Abyssal assault."
"Huh, that's weird." You frown as you strip off your baseball jersey and shirt. "I looked up that battle, but I never could find any pictures of you there, even though the whole thing was pretty well documented."
"You...what?" North Carolina pauses in the middle of unbuttoning her uniform.
"Hey, not ALL of my internet time is watching youtube memes." You shrug. "I read up on some of the past shit. I kinda wanted to ask you how you came back because I knew you showed up at Guam, but there's not real visual record of you being there.
"Huh, well, that's odd, isn't it?" Jenner says a bit too quickly.

Dohoho, if there was something destroyers were good at, it was sensing things that were trying to stay hidden, and North Carolina was very much trying to hide something!
"Eheh, really?" You grin. "Something super duper secret happen that you couldn't talk about?"
"Nothing of the sort." North Carolina huffs as she quickly marches off to the bath. As typical of a battleship, you noticed her body was very well built. VERY well built.
"Come ooooooooon!" You coo, following the battleship's pitiful attempts to evade you.
"There's nothing more to say." North Carolina attempts to state flatly.
Yeah, as if you were believing that.

North Carolina attempts to flee into the water, but there was no way the larger and heavier ship was going to evade you, on water or on land. You slide in after and cut her off.
And then you do what every DD has ever done to bend a larger ship to their will.
CUTE DD OPTICS

>>47362948
North Carolina recoils at your move. Her eyes and mouth twitch wildly as she tries to maintain a serious expression, but your cute DD act is relentless, and even her nigh invulnerable defenses crack under the pressure.
"All right, all right." North Carolina groans as she sinks deeper into the water, defeated. "But promise you don't tell anybody else."
"Promise."
"Nobody. Else."
"Promise!" You nod rapidly.
"Okay." North Carolina sighs. "You know the nickname everybody used to call be by back then?"
"Yeah, they always called you 'Showgirl.'" You nod. "Why?"
And that's when you realize, and everything falls into place.
"Dohohoho, so that uniform you're wearing now wasn't what you originally came back in?"
"Unfortunately not." North Carolina's face was now beet red, though you weren't sure if it was from embarrassment or the temperature of the water. "When I came back, my costume was not very... professional."
"It was something super cute or super sexy, wasn't it?" You cackle, splashing water as you did so.
"Something like that." North Carolina groans. "There reason there are no publicly available pictures is because I asked the Admiral and Captain not to release them, and thanks to that, word of my... appearance remained limited."
"Wait a minute..." You frown. "You said never publicly released. SO THE PICTURES STILL EXIST?!"
"You are far too sharp for a destroyer." North Carolina narrowed her eyes.
"Hey, well, I guess I'm full of surprises." You chuckle.

I would have thought appearance was a reflection of a ship's soul. Learning more about this seems more useful than just trolling the battleship.

>>47363136
"Anyways..." You continue, leaning back against the edge of the pool. "The Captain was around back then, huh...?"
"Of course he was." North Carolina nods. "He's been on the frontlines since the beginning. He doesn't lie talking about it, though, naturally."
"I suppose." You nod. "You know-"
"I'm very well aware of the rumors about the two of us." North Carolina huffs. "But that's just what they are. Rumors."
You considered trying to force an answer out of her again, but the look she was giving you indicated that was her final answer, and you doubted your previous trick would work on her twice, especially so soon after.
"Hmmm, sure, whatever ya say." You grin as you waggle your eyebrows knowingly. "Was awfully nice of him to go out of his way for you like that? I betcha he's got some of those pics of, your right?"
The big splash of water that slams into your face is all the answer you need.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Though honestly, rumors of shipgirl relationships are very common." North Carolina shrugs. "Lots of theories on Iowa and Enterprise, and of course, there's the ones about you."
"Me?" You blink.
"Mhm." North Carolina nods. "You think the way you treat Annapolis and Portland goes unnoticed?"

Who said we were faking?
>>47363381
I was going for legit with Anna since the beginning. We mess with Portland, but we have mutual feelings neither of us acknowledge, and Anna has to push us together to get the harem rolling!
Oh yeah vote:

Begun, the waifu wars have.
Mind she's gone farther with Johnston than either of those two, thanks to a high roll on a grope action...
>>47363381
I figured rumors about Anna... but Portland rumors are weird. Did we act especially gay around Portland... or is it Portland going gay on us.
So it's Portland > Hoel <=>Anna ?
>>47363344
>>Totally unfounded!
>>47363434
Portland has a crush on the Admiral, we just tease her and kissed her that one time.

>>47363344
"Anna, sure." You shrug casually. "But Sweet Pea? That's a new one. I always figured she had a crush on the Admiral."
"That she does, but you know how rumors work. Never particularly grounded in fact." North Carolina shrugged and looked up at the clock. "Oh damn, has that much time passed already?"
"Hm? Got plans?" You grin as North Carolina gets out of the pool, water dripping from her long dark hair.
"A dinner meeting with the Captain to discuss last minute mission details." North Carolina says simply, shooting a dangerous look warning you not to say anything further.

"Last minute details hmm? It's fine, have fun with the Captain!", with a shit-eating grin on our face.

"Well, I didn't really want to be the third wheel, anyways." You shrug, waggling your eyebrows suggestively. "You have a fun time at your dinner date!"
"Dinner meeting." North Carolina corrects you.
"Oh, is that what they're calling it these days?" You grin smugly.
North Carolina just gives a small sigh before making her way to the changing room.

"See ya later, Carolina!" You wave.
North Carolina pauses for a second, but turns back and returns your wave with a smile before disappearing past the door.
That's when your empty fuel tanks begin to rumble. Guess you gotta eat, too! Right now, most of the facilities here were temporary, and the shipgirls here ate separately based on ship class due to differing logistical requirements. But well, since when did you ever listen to rules?

We haven't seen them recently, and it's a good opportunity to flirt with Anna.

Gotta get more Anna points.

You head over to the section of the temporary dining hall set apart specifically for the destroyers. While the destroyers from your own task force were present, there were a fair number of other destroyers eating here as well, though they were mostly the shipgirls responsible for pulling security for the event, so they'd largely be out of sight, patrolling the open waters for possible Abyssal incursion. Nobody wanted a repeat of what happened at San Diego.
And of course, you could quickly find your own fellow Fletchers, the loudest and rowdiest table. You quickly grab a tray and grab a couple of hamburgers, a slice of pizza, and a huge pile of french fries before making you way over. There, you could see Haida hopelessly trying to maintain order as the Fletchers ate loudly and wildly. You could see that Kidd seemed to have assimilated pretty well with Luce, Wren and Daly, but then again, most sister ships usually did, as was evidenced with you, Johnston, and Heerman. The two of them were calmly staying out of the brunt of the chaos, though Heerman kept a watchful eye on the Fletchers while Johnston's eyes were wandering all over the mess hall.

You sit in between Heerman and Johnston, who, unlike their smaller counterparts, were actually eating in a somewhat orderly fashion.
"You know," Heerman sighed, "I wish that they would give us a more... sophisticated menu."
"What are you talking about?" You ask between mouthfuls of hamburgers.
"Well, look over there." Heerman points to where the other ship classes were eating. "They're getting things like steak and fish!"
"Well, I can't blame 'em." You nod to where the Fletchers were currently getting into a condiment fight, splattering Haida with enough ketchup to look like she had just limped out of a slasher film. "I don't think they wanna waste the good stuff on us."
"I suppose." Heerman groaned.
"And what are YOU up to?" You ask Johnston.
"Mmmmmm, just checking out the Atlantic fleet!" Johnston chuckled. "A lot of them are the older classes, but some of them are pretty cute~!"
Oh man.
"And look!" She whispered, pointing to the back of the mess hall reserved for officers. And there you see North Carolina and the Captain sitting together in their own private table. Your optics could tell that they were in a very deep and heated conversation, but they were too far and there was too much background noise for your hydrophones to pick anything up.
"I wonder what they could possibly be talking about~!" Johnston giggles.
