JUST LOCK PLEASE

[Jord200]

Post Shipgirls, get info of their orgins.

 

I will also accept Abyssals. Or rather the just Boss Abyssals.

 

Anything else is a no-go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know. I was bored.

Is northern ocean referring to a specific thing, or do I win the thread?

USS Iowa. First Ship of the Iowa-Class Battleships from the United States. The Iowa-Class, Iowa included still exist today, retired from the American Navy, and now are floating Museum Ships, where you can board them, and get a blast ( no pun intended ) from the past. In the 80s, Iowa had an issue with one of her turrets, which required the ship to have a heavy overhaul. USS Iowa was the ship FDR would take to Europe when he would have meetings with Churchil and Stalin about tha Allied Powers's battle plan.

 

 

 

 

 

Kuma-Class Torpedo Cruiser - Kiso. The Fifth and last ship of the Kuma Class. I believe Kiso was originally a Light Cruiser, and was eventually remodeled to be a Torpedo Cruiser. Named after the Kiso River. Sunk in action November 1944.

If you are refering to Northern Ocean Hime, then yes. She surprisingly enough, is based off Dutch Harbor, a harbor in Alaska. Most people call her Hoppo ( Due to how her name is pronounced in Japanese. Its to the point where Hoppo might as well just be offiial at this point ).

 

One of her lines is "Give me...the Zero." She was also I THINK...the first Abyssal Boss to show up outside of Seasonal Events, and be fightable in normal gameplay.

 

This refers to a Japanese Akutan Zero that somehow got so off course, it crashlanded in Alaska, and was captured by US Forces, and studied so we could better combat the Zeros. This is likely what that line refers to.

 

 

 

 

Kongou-Class Fast Battleship - Haruna. Fourth and last ship of the Kongou-Class. Originally classified as a Battlecruiser ( found this out when I looked up to confirm that she was the last ship built for the Kongo-Class ), and was modified like her three sister ships into a Battleship. Originally built in Britian like her sister ships, by British builders before WWII, and her built for Japan, hence why in game, the Kongous speak in Engrish, and why Japan used them. Sunk in harbor during an airrade a month before Japan surrendered, and was the member of the Kongou-Class who lasted the longest.

Only Kongou was built in Britain. Hiei, Kirishima and Haruna were all built in Japan. Hiei was built by Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, Kirishima at the Mitsubishi Shipyard Co. in Nagasaki, and Haruna was built by Kawasaki Shipyards in Kobe. Also the second refits of the Kongous corresponds closer to a Battlecruiser than an actual Battleship. 

 

 Also you omitted a lot from Iowa's history. She saw service up to Operation Desert Storm and the first Gulf War where she was used to crack Iraqi Bunkers. Iowa saw a lot of service during the Korean War as a floating naval artillery. And the accident with the turret was a magazine explosion that resulted in the death of 45 or so sailors, the biggest disaster to ever happen on the ship. I mean, Iowa is actually my favourite ship ever so like, I could go more into detail, but Iowa's history is so long it would take a long time.

 

 

 

Here we go, a character I visually love the design of, but absolutely loathe the real life counterpart due to the atrocities committed by it's crew.

I'm sorry I made a mistake, geez...... I'm only human.

 

As for Iowa, I said WHAT I KNOW, not every damn detail down to where the metals used to build them were mined....

 

And for Tone, nameship ship of the Tone-Class Heavy Cruisers. Sunk in action on route back home July 1945.

Carrieroid!

Ahh, the infamous HMS Roid, an aircraft carrier never used by the then British Empire. Commissioned on 3rd September 1752, and decommissioned only ten days later on 13 September for bad behaviour, the HMS Roid was considered an absolute failure and is surely one of the lowest points in the history of the Royal Navy. It was intended to protect British Spells/Traps from enemy MSTs, but was overpriced for that job. Problems only increased for HMS Roid when it was power crept by HMS Stardust Dragon only a few weeks after its initial release.

Crap, you beat me to it. Shard, I can't tell if this is a joke or if you are actually irritated by me using Iowa as a image theme. Could you clear that up?

 

Anyway, imma submit yamato. :P

[Jord200]

 

 

Shiratsuyu-Class Destroyer - Shigure. Conisdered to be "The Lucky Ship", before she was FINALLY sunk, and Yukikaze took that title. Was the one who had to scuttle the Yamashiro. 

 

I THINK there is even a book about the Shigure. As in Shgure specifically.

Yamato, first ship of the Yamato-Class Battleships, some of the biggest, if not THE biggest warships ever built. Rarely sent out due to how big of a secret the Yamato Class were, and they were expensive to run. Some stories say that the punishment for even speaking the words "Yamato-Class", was to be sentenced to death. Yamato, and her sister ships Musashi and Shinao ( along with two more Yamato-Class that were never built ) had their budgets disguised as a budget for three new Kagero-Class Destroyers. Late into the war, Yamato lead Operation Ten-Go, with one Light Cruiser, and eight Destroyers. A suicide mission. The plan was for Yamato to go toe to toe with the US Battleships, but Carriers took the glory, and it was planes that sunk Yamato. The explosion was so big, five planes were caught in it. Only Yukikaze and Hatsushimo survived Ten-Go. Yamato and the other seven IJN ships were all sunk.

BTW anyone think we should have a boy in KC besides the admiral?

Kako, second ship of the Furutaka-Class. Second highspeed Cruiser ( first was Furutaka ) made to combat the Omaha-Class. Sunk Agaust 1944.

Technically the reason for that is ships are often refered to in female terms. And yes. That is why all ths ships are women. as for teh Admiral, even the Admiral isn't always male. The Admiral is the player. The Admiral doesn't have a specific gender in game. Heck, in fan works, there are all kinds of Admirals. There's Masochist Admiral, Admiral Steven Seagal, an woman who is half dragon, a Shiba Inu, Optimus Prime, Kenshrio from Fist of the North Star, sometimes the Admiral is protrayed as just being a kid. Hell, I've seen a comic set where Inazuma became the Admiral because there was no Admiral.

 

There is something made by the same people who made KanColle, called like Touken Rambu or something. I've heard it plays just like KanColle, only instead of Ship Girls, its Sword Boys. That is all I know about it, and no, I do not know how one can play it.

Yamato, first ship of the Yamato-Class Battleships, some of the biggest, if not THE biggest warships ever built. Rarely sent out due to how big of a secret the Yamato Class were, and they were expensive to run. Some stories say that the punishment for even speaking the words "Yamato-Class", was to be sentenced to death. Yamato, and her sister ships Musashi and Shinao ( along with two more Yamato-Class that were never built ) had their budgets disguised as a budget for three new Kagero-Class Destroyers.

Only Yukikaze and Hatsushimo survived Ten-Go. Yamato and the other seven IJN ships were all sunk.

 

The Yamato-class was the largest ships ever put to sea until recently, when later classes of US Aircraft Carrier were bigger. Also Project H44 was longer than Yamato, but the beam and draft were shorter. They were rarely sent out mostly because Yamato was a propaganda ship. It's name funked it over, the fact it was named Yamato, the ancient name for Japan and was supposed to represent a symbol of the nation's might. They turned out to be absolute white elephants that were destroyed basically immediately upon being put to sea. Yamato and Musashi were to support the Japanese landing of Leyte Gulf, to retake the Philippines from the allies. Musashi and Yamato were part of Takeo Kurita's centre force, who were relying on the North Force of Zuikaku and several escort Carriers to lure Adm. Ball Hallsy's 3rd Fleet away from the centre force. Zuikaku and the Northen Force were completely obliterated, as was the plan. Musashi was sunk on the way, but the centre force kept going. The battle in the Marianas was so embarassing for the Japanese, the allies named it "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot"

 

 The centre force met TAFFY 3, a small unit consisting of 13 ships. TAFFY 3 was not intended for fleet warfare, but due to bravery (or just outright ballsiness), USS Johnston and USS Samuel B. Roberts managed to inflict significant damage to the centre force, at the cost of the ships. TAFFY 1 and TAFFY 2, the sister groups to TAFFY 3, joined in with the battle. Convinced they'd just ran into the brunt of the American Fleet and that they were outmatched, Yamato and the centre force turned back for Japan. Shinano was converted to an Aircraft Carrier, but had no water pumps and an untrained crew. They was torpedoed by American submarines and the ship sunk.

 

 Yamato remained in port up until April 1945, when she was sent on a one way suicide mission to Okinawa. Task Force 58, consisting of 9 Aircraft Carriers, attacked the Ten-Ichi-Go Force. Roughly 300 planes took part in the destruction of the force. When Yamato capsized, it's believed that fires causes by bombs dropped by American Dive Bombers ignited the No.1 Turret Magazine, causing an explosion that ripped the ship in half. In terms of lives lost, the sinking of the Yamato is the biggest disaster in naval history, with roughly 3400 crew lost. Ten-Ichi-Go was the IJN's last major fleet operation. After that, only a small handful of warships, including Nagato, a WW1 era ship that was modernised, survived. Following the unconditional surrender of Japan to Allied Forces on September 2nd, 1945, the incomplete Carrier Amagi (?) who had rolled over in port was scrapped, as were several smaller Japanese warships. Nagato, along with Prinz Eugen from Germany, were used in the Bikini Atoll Abe & Baker Test, which was intended to see what sort of effects an atomic explosion would have on warships. Surprisingly, Nagato survived the first blast, but sprung a leak shortly after and begun sinking.

Germany is the only major naval power that has used male terminology on ships.
