[North Arkana]

Depending how many people are actually active, the base will be losing between 10-15% of their active roster by sending away the ANDF vessels. At a minimum the base is literally being decimated.

Considering that 10-15 percent were uncooperative on all levels with other ships (not just Coriolanus), it's not really any loss. Her offer to rejoin still stands, though, if you want to accept it instead of going through this difficulty.

Or Coriolanus could stop being a hard-headed fool completely ignoring that Horizon had already given her multiple outs, and that the ANDF vessels are probably some of the most effective present.

There are so many things wrong with what you just said that I am going to avoid answering it out of respect for the atmosphere of the OOC and my unwillingness to get into any sort of debate with you again.

Precisely what I did, Novaya.

-Last Line of Defence

Now I fully expect there to be at least one time when everyone else is out on a mission somewhere and Hydrus has to lead the defence of the base with a smattering of ships left behind for whatever reason.

That was one of the plans I had for the future. ; )

It should be good now I think, but that's up to you.

So far, so good, but if it the same P-29 as this one, its not a carrier plane. Also, those'll be a logistical nightmare, as you'll have two vastly different fighters, which'll need different spare parts and ammunition and so on.
My recommendation for an airgroup of 90 aircraft of that timeframe and Japanese aircraft with room for improvement would be roundabout 30 A6M, 20 D3A, 10 B5N or C6N, with 30 aircraft in parts as reserves. That would also better accomodate the smaller size of your carrier.
Love the name, by the way.

You could expand on the Expeditions point by saying 'The forming of expeditions', because just saying 'Expeditions' is pretty vague

By Expeditions I actually meant the entire complex of expeditions with all belonging to it, but yes, you are correct.

Wew... I actually posted~ Sorry for the absence... was busy with schoolwork catchup...

And SHIPS! (none of which will be applied for since I've pretty much hit cap) ==> https://imgur.com/a/y7tRQ

No problem, RL, and school especially, is more important then anything else. Welcome back!
I like your ships, as usual, but I only have two in the dorm room list...?

Coz the other two are not in the pic and the applications are... in progress.

Ah, okay. My apologies. I already feared, that I overlooked a few applications... again.

The plane I was talking about was Bell's P39, not Boeings P29, I just had it mixed up. I changed it to your recommendations, also thanks for the compliment.

[Legatia]

Anyone talking to Cori at the moment- she exited the building a while ago.

Welp, time to edit post and have Hydrus head out to do field examinations of the various artillery batteries out of boredom.

[The Canadian North-West]

Oh boy, that ANDF situation is certainly... interesting...

[The Selkie]

I'll have Rhiannon meet up with her once everyone has calmed down from this new crisis, okay?
Btw, Higher Japan, I'm very interested to see where that one's going... especially since the island he picked is the same as Horizon wants to relocate to, if I'm not mistaken.

Welp, time to edit post and have Hydrus head out to do field examinations of the various artillery batteries out of boredom.

If you want, I have a rather rudimentary map of the base itself at hand. The small version and the bigger version with the added bonus of issues while enlargening it. I'll have to work on that one...

Oh boy, that ANDF situation is certainly... interesting...

Very much so. I look forward to seeing, where we're heading with that.

Ah, I see - the Aircobra. There were prototypes of a carrier version of that one, if I'm not completely mistaken.
Anyway...

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name:MNC Prophet
Type:Heavy Fleet Carrier
Class:Lead ship, only surviving ship of the Prophet Class
Role: Escort/Assault Ship
Nation of origin:The Cross and Davids Star
Year commissioned:1930
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:
Gender:Male
Character:Prophet is generally very friendly, greeting new flotilla members, and bonds very quickly to new friends, treating them like one would a family. It’s because of this bond that he worsens his situation in order to protect his friends, and almost always comes back from a sortie with some kind of major damage, as well as a lack of any morale if a fleet member sinks, and will outright refuse to attack a friend if they were to become an Abyssal. He spends most of his free time training, pushing himself to become faster and stronger. He becomes very wary around torpedoes as well as submarines, as the Prophet met his initial demise because of them.
Special abilities: Experienced in combat, can get along with almost anyone, higher resistance to damage due to extent of armor, effective with submarines, but he doesn't prefer to be around them.
Technical Description of the vessel: The Prophet is the namesake of the Prophet Class, and once had an identical sister ship, the MNC Ruth, both being the most powerful of their type. Both of which were sent to a naval academy to help with flight training for navy pilots, but was caught in a surprise attack, nearly destroying the Prophet and sinking the Ruth. The Prophet was repaired several weeks later, being upgraded with a new engine and armor, and began a long campaign, appearing under the cover of night and decimating entire fleets. It was during an escort mission to transport a large amount of munitions, when the Prophet was ambushed by submarines, but distracted them from the transports for them to flee, but took fatal torpedo damage in its engines and fuel tanks, and soon capsized, taking all hands with it. The Prophet was repurposed with air superiority and survivability in mind, having large amounts of AA guns and aircraft storage, which made it heavily effective in diamond formation, and can take quite a few hits before losing its edge, and usually won before that happens, but its fatal flaw is no lack of other defenses, save for its aircraft and 4 naval guns, making it an easy target if unattended.

Technical Data
Displacement: 54,000 tonnes, 63,205 full load
Length (overall):714 ft,2 in. (217.6 meters)
Width:102 ft. (31 meters)
Draught: 35 ft, 7 in. (10.7 meters)
Propulsion: 4 shaft turbo/electric drive, 8 boilers, 28,900 HP
Speed: 17 knots
Complement:1,385
Armament:60 M45 quadmounts, 40 Bofors guns, 4 20cm naval guns, 30 A6M, 20 D3A, 10 C6N, extra space empty to accommodate other carriers aircraft.
Armour: Belt: 12 in (305 mm) Deck: 4 in (105 mm) Flight Deck: 6 in (152 mm)

A few sentences or an article, please.

Essentially it's a backstory on why he was remodeled and the meaning behind the unknown remodel.

Ah, I see - cool.

[Sterkistan]

If Dia ever gets a remodel, I'm thinking about stepping away slightly from the Iowa template I used.
For example, 1950's era Gatling guns for close-range defense.

Sure, go for it - well, so much for Abyssal Aircraft! ; )

Oh yeah, rest in piece any aircraft that get in range of those things.
Because they even had an electric motor capable of spitting out 3,000 rounds per minute in 1893. So a 1940-50's version would be pretty similar to the 1960s version.

Yeah, that's going to be fun for the Abyssals.

EVERYONE, stop right here - I said no enemy actions on day 2 and that goes for you as well, CDS. Please modify your post accordingly.

I was about to make a reply to that post, then I saw this just in time lol

Also, Kanmusu can still receive radio transmissions even without rigging on, right?

Minor edit to my earlier post, Hydrus will be hanging around the mess hall for a bit instead.

Also working on specs for Hydrus' remodel.
