Wait, the hell is happening? What's all this about a sortie, now?

Aye, I'm just as lost here, too.

Note: Quote modified by removal of spoiler-tags.

Accepted - glad to have you onboard, IWE (I hope you don't mind me abbreviating your name like that). Those submarines are always useful and one looking like Christoph Waltz is going to be a smash-hit with the ladies ; ).

Thanks! Also, I actually prefer Warg

I'd just like to ask, how exactly do I enter onto the scene and such?

The fleet is preparing to sortie south, attack, and capture the Shipwreck Islands from Abbysal forces- everyone is expected to be ready to leave on sortie by 0845. For IWE, you are fine to say you've been there, or arrive with the supply convoy, you'll have about 15 minutes inbetween that and the sortie.

Yes, pretty much. The logic I was planning on going off of was that the people who haven't posted in a while would remain behind as rear guard. Gives me a bit more to work with, and gets everyone involved.

We'd certainly be glad to have someone as.. well, into Kancolle as you. The effort you've put into your lore and factbooks was pretty admirable from what I've seen.

Basically what Legatia said - you can arrive with the supply convoy, sprint forward as a Vanguard, like Suoji's Jokosuka did, or just drop by. To be honest, I personally would prefer one of the former two options...
As for the sortie, based on information, that the base gathered from a prisoner of war/defector, Coriolanus planned to start offensive operations today, starting out with neutralizing the Abyssal Bases in the Shipwreck Islands. Those, who want to be part of that, should be free to do so.
My apologies, Warg.
So... As so far there are no volunteers for commanding the supply convoy, I'll do that. And, #ChristmasList, high quality beef for Christmas was added to the list.

Shit yeah, remind me not to write apps late at night.

No problem, I'll remind you. ; )

Y'know, I really oughta make a post here someday...

And I'd be happy to welcome you, ANA - it'd be a pleasure to have you with us.

[Novaya Equestria]

Good afternoon, people!
Glad to see everyone in such high spirits and even a new face around here - welcome, IWE! We'll come to the new apps in a moment.
In the meantime, Novaya, the character limit is six (6). And your lassies have a weird obsession with that carrier of yours... I take your apps are WiP?

One thing - when should the convoy with the new vessels be coming in? Would it be worth just writing them as having arrived in the early morning?

We could make it so, that they arrive around 8, also giving Jokosuka a good excuse of why he sprinted ahead as a vanguard, while the attack force departs at 8:30 - does that sound like a plan?
And here I was, wanting to recreate the convoy battles of the North Atlantic... well, let's save that for another time!

>When you still want to RP out the day before with reactions and whatnot

In other news, I should have a post up tomorrow.

We can always make it timestamped backwards.

Yeah, I could do with a summary. I'll probably get a Hydrus post up tomorrow or Wednesday.

Summary of Day 2 since morning, coming up - Part 1 and Part 2 (You'll have to scroll for that one a bit). If you have questions, please ask.

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

(Name): HLFFS Blakesheel (Holtland Folkskripen Fleetship - Blakesheel; "Black Cottage"; Nicknamed, "Blake")
(Type): Light Cruiser
(Class): Brodenshire-Class Cruiser (Second in his Class)
(Role): Minesweeper, Submarine Hunter, Convoy Duty, Coastal Patrol, Nighttime Patrol, Moderate AA Defense, and Destroyer Flotilla Leader
(Nation of Origin): Kraicia
(Year Commissioned): March 1944
(Image or description of the ship girl/boy):

(Image)

(Gender): Male
(Character): At a height of 183cm (6ft) and retaining slightly pale complexion, short blonde hair, and blue eyes, Blake can be easily mistaken for a stereotypical German 'Aryan' boy; however, his English facial features otherwise differentiate him from the usual German shipboy/shipgirl. Unlike his fellow Kraician cruiser shipboys/shipgirls, Blake is a quiet and cold yet respectable and sympathetic individual - a stark contrast to his predecessors whom were often talkative/charismatic and/or rude. Blake is someone who doesn't speak that many words, even to the point of making newcomers think that he's a mute; however, whenever he does speak, Blake is poetic or direct - his speech is either cleverly cryptic or simple.
(Special abilities): Blakesheel is an advanced light cruiser of his type that wields extraordinary radar-guidance system and analogue computers to assist in precision/accurate salvos. Subsequently, Blakesheel and his brothers are infamous for their pinpoint accuracy. What the Brodenshire-Class Cruiser lacks in punch, they make up for amazing accuracy and target acquisition.
(Technical Description of the vessel):

(Image)
Designed and built as a new kind of cruiser for the Kraician Navy, Blakesheel was introduced into the Kraician Navy along with his fellow brothers as the most technologically advanced cruisers ever built at the time. Instead of wielding bigger guns, Blake and his brothers were instead built with accuracy and fire rate in mind - specifically taking a lesson from US-designed ships. Equipped with radar-guided guns and a pair of analogue computer-assisted rangefinders and directors, Blakesheel and his brothers essentially became the 'sharpshooters' of the naval world at the time; however, following the introduction of digital computers in the late 20th century, the technological marvels wielded by Blakesheel and the other Brodenshire-Class cruisers were rendered obsolete. Fortunately, following the advent of the Korean War, Blakesheel and Brodenshire saw action in coastal bombardments and anti-submarine duties, which made the Kraician Navy reconsider the Brodenshire-Class Cruiser's decommissioning date (originally 1952 to 1954 for all Brodenshire-Class Cruisers). Subsequently, the Brodenshire-Class Cruisers stuck around in the Kraician Navy until they were all sold for scrap in the mid-1990s (all Brodenshire-Class Cruisers at the time had became missile cruisers).

Technical Data
Displacement: 11,792 tons
Length (overall): 200m (656.168ft)
Width: 20m (65.6ft)
Draught: 7.9m (25.91ft)
Propulsion:
- 4 x diesel engines
- 4 x Propellers
Speed: 30 Knots
Complement: 859 Enlisted and 49 Officers
Armament:
- 3 x Quadruple-Barrelled 6.1in Gun Turrets (Main Guns)
- 18 x Twin-Barreled 30mm Automatic Cannon Turrets (Secondary Armament)
- 2 x Triple-Barrled 533mm Torpedoes (Midsection)
Armour: N/A
Notes: In correlation with Blakesheel's special ability, he wields a sniper rifle not just for a taste of antiquity, but as a practical tool of marksmanship. This rifle only appears when he uses his special ability. Otherwise, Blakesheel is stuck with his rigging when he is in combat.

And I have brought a light cruiser with me.

Personnel file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: HMBS Spartan
Type: Light Cruiser
Class: Spartan-class
Role: Dual-Purpose Cruiser
Nation of origin: Dominion of Bermuda
Year commissioned: 1948
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: It was really hard to find a picture that wasn't way too sexualized, too garish, and/or too srs business.
Gender: Female
Character: Spartan very much lives up to her name. Or, at least, she tries to. She tries to live on the absolute minimum, and devotes herself to the ideal of never surrendering and fighting to the death. Inexperienced, but confident in her abilities, she is practically dying to fight in a real battle. This is partly to compensate for her percieved lack of a true national identity, being the result of the Bermudians modifying a British design with American guns and IJN torpedo tubes.
Special abilities:[/b] While she may lack the sheer volume of fire of certain other light cruisers, she does mount powerful 6-inch dual-purpose guns that can fire up to 12 rounds per minute.
Technical Description of the vessel: The Spartan-class is an oddity in Bermudian naval history, a multinational effort without multinational cooperation. In the wake of the Second World War, Bermuda's navy had been bolstered with all sorts of ships, overwhelmingly cast-offs from the Allied navies or captured Axis ships. This made Bermudian naval logistics something of a nightmare, as ships such as the Portland-class and the Hipper-class did not use remotely the same parts or guns. It did, however, inadvertently give Bermudian naval engineers a large surplus of foreign designs. While the Spartan-class's only direct gain from this was her 24-inch torpedo tubes from ships from the Pacific, indirectly it is the very essence of the Spartan's design. Her class was intended to standardize the mess that was Bermuda's cruisers into a powerful but easy-on-logistics cruiser design. To this end, the British Neptune-class design, canceled at the end of WW2, was taken and modified. She was to be armed with the 6"/47 caliber guns from the latest American light cruisers, as well as the upgraded 5"/54 caliber Mark 16 intended to be used as secondaries on the canceled Montana-class super battleship. She was equipped with the latest fire control systems and RADAR, and even came with sonar despite her lack of ASW weapons. 2 ships of the type were ordered: Spartan and Amazon.

Spartan was commissioned in 1948, Amazon in 1949. Her first battle came when the Bermudian Revolution suddenly broke out. The crews of the light cruisers mutinied and joined the revolutionaries. Spartan served as then-Rear Admiral Lyle Eden's (later promoted to Grand Admiral before becoming Supreme Leader) flagship during the Revolution. The Spartan-classes were instrumental in crippling the British task force sent to reinforce the colonial loyalists on the small island, and thus proved vital in securing the new Republic of Bermuda's independence. She would later serve as Admiral Eden's flagship during the Civil War and later the Invasion of Hispaniola. She was decommissioned in 1979 and became a museum ship in Port Au Prince.

Nation of origin: Warglorian Reich
Year commissioned: 1942
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:
Imagine Wearing Kriegsmarine Captain Uniform (Image)
Gender: Male
Character: An often humorous and sarcastic person, able to crack a joke even in the hardest of situations. However, he can get very serious very fast at times
Special abilities: He is very good at hit-and-run tactics, often able to strike a deadly blow before disappearing completely in the next second. He also has a knack for taking on ships much bigger than his, and winning.
Technical Description of the vessel:

Displacement: 1,610 Tons (surfaced)
1,799 Tons (submerged)
Length: 87 meters
Width: 7 meters
Draught: 5 meters

Armour:
-15 mm (conning tower)
-25 mm (belt)
-5 mm (deck)
-Titanium Prototype Alloy hull allows for slightly greater resistance to depth charges effect
Notes:

During the Great Regional War, in which the Tetrarchy of Empires fought against the Alliance of Free States, Wargloria found itself at a standstill. Although Wargloria had arguably the most deadly and elite fighting force on land, it was very much outmatched when it came to the sea. As Warglorian Battleships, though very well built and equipped, proved too expensive to mass produce, so would be often outnumbered, Wargloria decided to turn to submarines as an alternative solution. The Type X Class U-Boat was a new production design: with higher grade technology (such as state of the art radar) and heavily armed enough to go against larger warships, it was to be the new future U-Boat replacement.

One such U-Boat was U-115, commanded by Erwin Von Stauffenberg, descended of famed war hero Heinrich Von Stauffenberg, claimed its name as one of the most successful U-Boats in the entire fleet, gaining the nickname Seeteuful. Throughout the war, the U-Boat would sink a total of 361,000 Tons worth of ships or around 60 ships, including one aircraft carrier and two battleships. The war would last until 1949, in which the Tetrarchy and Alliance would make peace. The peace treaty would be signed on December 25th, 1949. Only one day before, on December 24th, 1949, U-115 would be sunk when it experienced an engine malfunction, causing it to crash right into the ocean floor, no survivors. In the end, it wasn't enemy fire that destroyed it, it was nature.

Name: Kaguya
Type: Repair ship
Class: Kaguya Class Repair ship
Role: Repair ship
Nation of origin: Higher Japan
Year commissioned: 1940
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: https://tinyurl.com/ya6e4jjv
Gender: Female
Character: Nearly bordering insanity, she could be described as insane for her experiments and the amount of work she does behind the scene when not tending to ships, or cursing about upgrading useless weaponry into new unproducable types.
Special abilities: She can perform emergency repairs in the middle of the ocean.
Technical Description of the vessel:
Created during the dawn of 1940, Kaguya was designed specifically as a repair ship, equipped with the latest in ship repairing equipment that could be mounted on a ship along with some light weaponry in case it was needed. When she was drafted, she was the first of her kind with new cutting age technology and speedy repair crew that were unrivaled in their abilities. She had large amounts of horsepower that could compete with larger ships, but most were used in her machines, resulting in slow cannon turning speed and low overall speed.

Technical Data
Displacement: 10,000 tons
Length (overall): 150 meters
Width:12 meters
Draught: 8 meters
Propulsion: 4 shafts, 1250,000 shp

I'm tempted to add construction materials for a research lab to start up Akashi's improvement Arsenal this time run by Kaguya. Add more industrial production equipment, construction materials of concrete and steel then. And some tables with lamps.

We already have construction equipment on base, though - fairy-sized, but it'll be good to get those buggers to work again!
We have 44.260 GRT to fill and while I imagined, that some of those freighters would carry ammunition and other such materials important for the war-effort (in particular Rauenfels and Alster, while Kattegat carries fuel), we certainly have space for that stuff.

Personnel File - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: ENP Chrysaora
Type: Light Cruiser
Class: Medusa-class Light Cruiser
Role: Convoy Raiding/Fleet Escort
Nation of origin: Elisos
Year commissioned: 1927
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Here.
Gender: Female.
Character: Chrysaora is the most outgoing and aggressive of Hydrus' squadron; she feels like she has something to prove to everyone, most of all ships larger or older than her. Enjoys poking and prodding at people verbally for her own entertainment; although usually done in a playful manner, it can come across as insulting at times. Is very touchy that she's the 'youngest' of the ships of the Third Colonial Area Fleet.
Special abilities: Chrysaora is most famous for ramming things; be it enemy freighters, allied freighters, allied ships or enemy ships. She takes less damage if rammed or ramming. Is also generally unlucky.
Technical Description of the vessel:
The Medusa-class Light Cruiser entered service near the middle of the Great War; Chrysaora was the second ship of the class, and was attached to the Third Colonial Area Fleet. The Chrysaora did not serve for long, but during that service she acquired a reputation as an 'unlucky' ship, having numerous minor collisions with allied ships. She was madly damaged by enemy aircraft while out raiding convoys in early 1928 and spent 1928 under repair. Further airstrikes meant on her drydock meant that she was rendered irreparably unseaworthy, and she she was eventually sunk as a blockship in 1929.

Nation of origin: Elisos
Year commissioned: 1923
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Here.
Gender: Female
Character: Alecto considers herself the 'responsible' one of the three Erinyes-class DDs; stern and unflinching, rarely showing emotion but often providing advice to her two younger siblings whom she cares for deeply. Often tries and fails to keep her less serious sisters in line.
Special abilities: Alecto, as the lead ship of the class, is outfitted to command her sister ships, and thus has increased radar and sonar range compared to them.
Technical Description of the vessel:
ENP Alecto was commissioned in 1923 into the Third Colonial Area Fleet. Alecto spent the war with her sister ships, raiding convoys until she was sunk by enemy dive bombers in 1931.

Personnel File - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: ENP Megaera
Type: Torpedo Destroyer
Class: Erinyes-class Destroyer
Role: Convoy Raiding
Nation of origin: Elisos
Year commissioned: 1923
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Here.
Gender: Female.
Character: Megara is the de facto joker of the squadron, quick to joke about just about anything, constantly making light of whatever situation, no matter how bad it's actually gotten. Prone to tempting Murphy's Law, cheerfully upbeat nearly all of the time. Proud of her kill count compared to the rest of her fleet.
Special abilities: Megara is, to put it simply, luckier than her sisters, and has a better performing AA suite.
Technical Description of the vessel:
ENP Megaera was commissioned in 1923 into the Third Colonial Area Fleet. Megaera spent the war with her sister ships, raiding convoys for the entirety of the war. She survived the same dive bomber that sunk the Alecto but was badly damaged and spent the rest of the war in drydock. She was the only Erinyes-class destroyer to survive the war, surrendering in 1935 along with the other surviving ships of the Third Colonial Area Fleet. She was deemed to be outdated and too expensive to warrant a repair and was scrapped in 1937. Has the highest kill count of any ship in the Third Colonial Area Fleet.

Personnel File - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: ENP Tisiphone
Type: Torpedo Destroyer
Class: Erinyes-class Destroyer
Role: Convoy Raiding
Nation of origin: Elisos
Year commissioned: 1924
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Here.
Gender: Female.
Character: Tisiphone is Megara's partner in crime the vast majority of the time; helping with her pranks, acting as a second voice in her jokes, providing a voice to bounce banter off etc. Otherwise she restrains the more absurd or simply stupid ideas that Megara has, normally with a playful light punch and a tut. Looks to the rest of the fleet with admiration, as she's the youngest ship in it.
Special abilities: Tisiphone has the fastest reloading torpedoes of the Erinyes-class destroyers due to storing her torpedoes much closer to the launchers than her sisters did. This storage system, however, makes her armament more vulnerable to being detonated by enemy shells.
Technical Description of the vessel:
The last of the Erinyes-class destroyers to enter service, and was also the first to be sunk, only serving for two years. Intended to raid ships alongside her sister ships, Tisiphone was sunk in 1926 after being chased down by an enemy light cruiser which was later sunk by Hydrus.

Personnel File - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: ENP Helio
Type: Supply Ship
Class: Resuppy Ship 2nd Type
Role: Supply/Logistics Ship
Nation of origin: Elisos
Year commissioned: 1917
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Here.
Gender: Female
Character: Helio rarely, if ever talks, communicating almost entirely through body language and non-word noises. However, when she does talk, the rest of the fleet listens, since it tends to be extremely important. Fiercely protective of the rest of the ENP ships, especially the destroyers.
Special abilities: Helio carries spare stocks of ammunition and fuel, and can resupply ships after or during battles, although the latter is extremely dangerous. For her class, Helio is a surprisingly tough ship; don't expect her to outlast a warship for long, but she can normally survive quite a while provided the enemy aren't at point blank range.
Technical Description of the vessel: Helio is a supply ship; her career from 1917-1935 was spent as the Third Colonial Area Fleet's logistics ship, carrying extra fuel, coal, torpedoes and ammunition for the rest of the fleet. She was damaged multiple times, in 1926, 1929, 1931, 1932 and 1934, but survived the war and was disarmed, first to serve as a prisoner of war repatriation ship until 1936, after which she was sold to a commercial shipping company which she served until she was scrapped in 1969.
