Personnel file - Operational Sector Ark Circle - North

Name: NCS Shiroiyuki
Type: Cruiser
Class: Towaitorozu-class cruiser
Role: Fire support and offshore bombardment
Nation of origin: Novayan Confederation
Year commissioned: 1936
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: "Don't let them hit our friends! Draw their fire to us!"
Gender: Female
Character: Shiroiyuki was a Novayan who is stoic and most serious and a professional. Despite being serious and professional, she can be a little bit emotional. Shiroiyuki, however, will go absolutely bonkers when it comes to cheering up someone who's sad.
Special abilities: Shiroiyuki's main guns and secondary guns and torpedo mounts makes it an ideal flagship for any attacking force. Shiroiyuki is capable of forcing the enemy to focus on her instead of the heavily damaged warships or in an attempt to distract said enemy. Her only weakness is the exposed pipe that fuels fuel into the boilers
Technical Description of the vessel: The Shiroiyuki was part of the Republic of Nemaria Navy, part of the Novayan Confederation's combined naval forces, that was built for defensive purposes against surface combatants. The Shiroiyuki served under the flagship NCS Novaya during the Second Great World War, where, at one battle, the cruiser's exposed pipe was hit, forcing it to a halt, forcing it to wait for a Novayan Confederation repair ship to arrive and repair it. It, including the loaned High Command Naval Academy's training ships, participated in the Korian War, officially the Noyoknan War, and delivering food and supplies to the affected populace of the 2nd Indochina War.

Type: Destroyer
Class: Blume-class destroyer
Role: Naval fleet escort, flagship escort (especially missions involving NCS Novaya), anti submarine warfare
Nation of origin: Novayan Confederation
Year commissioned: 1939
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Chrysantheme/Chrysanthemum
Gender: Female
Character: A forward-looking, big-hearted shipgirl, Chrysantheme cared for those around her. She's also known for having a higher degree of luck, partly because of her crew (fairies, in this case). But whenever she went off duty, she got involved in the numerous shenanigans going on, such as Novaya panicking when it comes to snakes, rats, insects and, of course, the deep of the ocean (no one can hear him scream, of course), forcing her and their two commanding fairies (Novaya's fairy Admiral and Chrysantheme's fairy captain) to calm Novaya, with mixed results. Like Novaya, she bore the emblem and flag (attached to the flag mast/pole) of the Antonia de Morales High Command Naval Academy.
Special abilities: Chrysanthemum lack the firepower or armor to defeat her enemies, but she makes up for it through her speed and maneuverability. Chrysanthemum's fairies are skilled in using her equipment and armaments during battles. Even her fairies are willing to rescue any fairies that were on the water.
Technical Description of the vessel: The NCS Chrysantheme served alongside the NCS Novaya during the Second Great World War, where she was part of the carrier's escort group. After the war, she serve as one of the training destroyers for the Antonia de Morales High Command Naval Academy, where the NCS Novaya, also a training ship, was attached.

Despite her being a first class lady, she's also skilled in combat, especially doing her naginata training (a naginata is the weapon of a first class LADY). She's friends with Novaya and his friends, of whom are flagship and part of the Novayan 3rd Fleet, a part of the Novayan Atelansia-Pacific Fleet, aka Novayan Asia-Pacific Fleet, of whom she was also part of during the Asia-Pacific Theatre of the Second Great World War.
Special abilities: Novayan Efficient Management - Molihua's fairies can repair her efficiently, cutting down repair time from thirty minutes to just fifteen minutes. Of course, her fairies liked this LADY/LEHDI.
Technical Description of the vessel: Sampaguita receives modifications provided to the Formosans provided by the Novayan government in 1921 in order for her to be combat capable. Built for the Republic of China, her class name was actually "Sampaguita-F", or Molihua, to distinguish her and her class, a subclass, from the actual Sampaguita-class destroyers the Morales Shipyards built for the Sovereignese Maritime Self-Defense Force. Modernization of the Molihua-class destroyers - involving installing new versions of the Molihua-class destroyers' equipment - was completed by 1927.

[The Selkie]

Cool. I look forward to it.

Hm... if you want, we can add a few planes from other players as well. I'd be happy to bring a few Giodrogs or other planes of the time and Selkie-origin into it with the convoy. I even have a seaplane fighter that I'd love to test, the Piongain.
It would just be a logistical nightmare (different types of ammunition, different spare parts and industrial standards, etc., etc., etc.).

Yes, i'd be more than happy to have that here. If anyone wants to submit it in you're free to put it up here, although an app for it will be here soon so please wait.

As for the logistical situation, let's just say a pair of twins has begun to sail north.

Okay, I'll wait. Sounds wonderful, though! (And it also sounds better organized then with me... ; ))
If we're talking about the same pair of twins, then wonderful! Finally good food! ; )

Alright, after Novaya's app all future ships will be coming in via supply convoys if that's alright, and of course these convoys will come in once every page if we need to bring new ships in.

Speaking of new ships:

Name: IHJN Himito
Type: Supply ship
Class: Himito class Supply ship
Role: Supply ship, morale raiser
Nation of origin: Higher Japan
Year commissioned: 1940
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: https://tinyurl.com/ycbe7nqz
Gender: Male
Character: With his nature and the food he produces, unlike other ships he has a sweet and caring attitude, constantly going on sorties that involve heavy combat to raise morale. However, this does not mean that he is lenient as anyone, excluding older ships and destroyers and below, will get hit in the face with a block of Himito Youkan if caught stealing. The exclusions need to pay a slightly higher price.
Special abilities: As he is a supply ship, he can easily raise moral and provide food for ships during longer sorties
Technical Description of the vessel:
Built under the 6th fleet expansion: Supply vessels plan, he was built with some breaking edge technology for his time, including facilities for making sweets be it western or traditional, and even a small farm of cows for fresh milk and cream. The trade off was that he was slow despite his massive horsepower, most of it going into producing sweets, and the lack or armor or guns. But regardless, he was escorted so heavily that high command considered removing his sole gun. During his peace time service, he was known as 'The floating sweet shop' as he mainly produced sweets, while his sister ship was known as 'The floating restaurant' for her savory dishes over sweet ones.

Even after they were considered outdated, high command still refused to scrap them and instead modernized them. But as newer and more efficient ships came into service, he along with his sister ship were relegated to the task of museum ship, and to this day they are still making food from their original compartments.

Most naval officers that were in service when they were in active duty still say that their food is the best over the newer ones. This is primarily due to the fact that food was made on the ship itself.

Class: Himito class supply ship
Role: Supply ship, morale raiser
Nation of origin: Higher Japan
Year commissioned: 1941
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: https://tinyurl.com/yb7odyad
Gender: Female
Character: Like her brother, she has a kind heart and treats the older ships and children nicely, joining her brother sometimes to raise morale in the fleet. However, like her brother she slaps people in the face with a steel pan when they try to steal, excluding older ships and children.
Special abilities: She can also provide supplies for ships during longer sorties like her brother.
Technical Description of the vessel:

Built in the same plan as her brother, she was built with cutting edge technology but this time the technology was for more savory food. Regardless of type, she could make almost any kind of savory food from around the world, as she spent most of her service travelling with envoys through out the world, the chefs being one of the best chefs in the entire navy and military that were only matched by her brother. She was built with more horsepower, but only had an increased speed of 2 knots due to most of it going to the cooking and production equipment. She was known to have carried a mini farm in her and even had the processing plants for certain ingredients.

Even after being outdated and modernized, she was still used as a museum ship like her brother in modern day, still producing mass amounts of food for people who come to see her.

K.

I was thinking that I would have my ships rotate whenever one gets tired from combat or anything. Let's call it comvat rotation - replace a combat-exhausted ship with another who isn't combat-exhausted. The exhausted ship must take non-combat duties like paperwork or recuperate for one day before being sent out to combat again to replace the exhausted ship.

Yeah sorry but no can do, even though I do understand your point, sadly rules are rules and I do have to enforce it and say that the 6 ship limit remains considering how combat exhaustion is nearly non-existent.

Speaking of which, as our first supply convoy nears, we're very soon going to be swarmed with submarines in numbers not even Dönitz's wettest dreams could have imagined, it is time for one of our first real destroyers, from my other Main's history, RKN Kadesh, Royal Kyrenaian Navy Town-class Destroyer, one of 46 sisters.

Personnel file - Operational Sector Ark Circle - North

Name: RKN Kadesh.
Type: Destroyer.
Class: Town-class.
Role:

To patrol the farthest reaches of the Sultanate's waters, alone or escorting other vessels, hunting down the enemy, laying judgement upon rebels, and looking cute during Fleet Reviews.

Nation of origin: The Sultanate of Kyrenaia (my other main, I don't want to puppet-play).
Year commissioned: 1932.
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Here.
Gender: Female.
Character:

Don't let her cute exterior fool you. RKN Kadesh, much like her sisters, is a vicious and capable fighter, a veritable terror on the battlefield, much like the Colonial Empire, in which's twilight she came into being. Off of it, though, she is a silent, calm girl, hard to anger, seemingly naturally programmed to be an ideal Kyrenaian Handmaiden and to make a very good tea. She can't stand the cold, despite being transferred up north on an exchange deployment.

Special abilities:

RKN Kadesh, 3rd of the second flight of the Town-class Destroyers, was a brave little boat, at the time of her commissioning one of the most modern destroyers in service with the Royal Kyrenaian Navy. Equipped with ASDIC and receiving Radar in 1941, she was a small, capable escort vessel with a range of 12,000 kilometres at her cruise speed of 15 knots.
Based on the preceeding Pattern 15 Destroyers, these were the first destroyers of the Sultan's Navy to be assigned a name and not just a number (for example M-115, the destroyer she replaced). They inherited their split bridge, with the wheelhouse and the chartroom separated from compass platform and fire directors, but they also learned the lesson of an enhanced AA-suite, namely with the new quad-20mm AA-gun placed behind her aft funnel, as well as with her four Rusadir Steelworks RS-16 Mark II 135mm DP Guns and their mounts, which were based on the SDF's Gabha G-91 135mm Guns, which in turn were based on the single-purpose Rusadir Steelworks RS-10 Mark III 135mm Guns.
The Town-class in general were built in unsteady times for the Sultanate: Ever since the independence of Va'a Mamao in 1929, several more colonies tried to get independent, with several of the uprisings resorting to piracy and terrorism. The Pattern 15 Destroyers, workhorses of the RKN for a few years by then, were unsuited for policing, built for the Grand Battle, so the Sultan's Navy decided to adapt their newest class of destroyers for that new purpose, policing its waters and keeping pirates at bay.
Kadesh, commissioned in 1932, had an eventful career: With the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron and their large vessels, she operated during the Sawmiea-Uprising in 1933, intercepting and controlling vessels to and from the island group, participated in the Coronation Fleet Review for Sultan Nesrin, served as Flagship of Force D during the Uaina-Crisis, escorting vessels of the Kyrenaian Navy.
In 1935, she got a time of rest until her first refit in 1941, making a few spins around the block during the time. In 1943, the refit was complete and left her with a new AA-suite, radar, sonar, new boilers and a few other little upgrades.
In 1944, she was involved in the escort operations of convoys against a submarine-threat of the Va'a Mamao Socialist Republic, even dropping a few depth charges onto some of them, with moderate success - the submarine V-2 was destroyed and submarine V-16 forced to surface, which caused a diplomatic incident of unknown proportions, which did not escalate to war.
She was decommissioned with the rise of anti-ship missiles and missiles in general in the 1950s, being considered for the corresponding upgrades for a while, bt ultimately mothballed and 1969 sold to a private interest group in Kadesh, preserving her as a museum vessel, where she lies today.
She had major restoration works done on her in 1999 and in 2017.

General Description:
Name/Model: Monarcha M-16 Giodróg Torpedo Bomber.
Crew: 3
Length: 10.3 m
Height: 3.7 m
Wingspan: 15.55 m
Total width:
Type: Torpedo Bomber
Powerplant: 1x Neart 14-cylinder radial engine, 750 kW/1,000 hp
Technical details:
Total weight: 2.3 tons (empty weight)
Loaded weight:
Maximum speed: 380 km/h
Maximum altitude: 8,000 m (service ceiling)
Armament:

2x machine guns in wings,
1x machine gun in rear dorsal position
(both Gabha R-22 machine guns),
1x 450mm torpedo or 800 kg of bombs

History and description:

The Monarcha M-16 Giodróg Torpedo Bomber is an all-metal, low-wing constructed aircraft powered by a single Monarcha Gaoth Engine, a two row, 14-cylinder air cooled radial engine. It is a highly reliable aircraft, easy to maintain and to operate.
Self-sealing fuel tanks assure, that the Giodróg doe not burst into flames at the slightest hit – a highly important factor for a relatively lightly armored aircraft such as this, fast and capable of outrunning enemy fighters with ease. She is highly maneuverable due to Fowler Flaps and constant speed propellers. A retractable carriage assures, that the maneuverability of the Giodróg is not marred, while an arrestor hook enables landings on small airstrips or carriers. For easier storage, the wings can be folded up.
The pilot has a free and nearly unhindered look at the world around him and especially in front of him, looking from a closed cockpit forwards with the navigator directly behind him, back to back.
Armed with two forward firing machine guns and one machine gun in dorsal position, the Giodróg can defend itself if necessary, but we recommend not making it necessary in the first place. The aircraft can also be used as a ground-attack aircraft, capable of carrying either a torpedo or 800 kg of bombs or, as we are currently testing, a certain amount of rockets.

Name/Model: Shane Airworks Piongain Mark I
Crew: 1

Powerplant: 1 liquid-cooled piston engine, 450 hp
Technical details:
Total weight: 1.2 tons (empty weight)
Loaded weight:
Maximum speed: 280 km/h
Maximum altitude:
Armament: 3x forward-firing Gabha R-22 Machine Guns
History and description:

The Piongain Mark I was a catapult-launched flying boat (it worked just as well when launched conventionally) built of wood, a single-seat monoplane aircraft with a 450 horsepower engine (Mark II replaced this engine). Liquid cooled and driving a three-blade pusher propeller, the engine was mounted on four struts above the fuselage/hull.
The Piongain was armed with three Gabha R-22 8mm Machine Guns.

The Selkie, ever since someone had the idea of putting floats on an aircraft, had a long tradition in building flying boats and seaplanes for a variety of purposes, from postal delivery to medical evacuation to, indeed war. In 1918, the Focaeir became the first reconnaissance flying boat in service of a Water Police, a cumbersome biplane design spanning ten metres with a crew of two men and a range of a little less then 800 kilometres. These were not taken into service of the SDF-Navy in 1920, when it was founded, but under the 1922 Naval Armament Program, there was the call for a wide variety of seaplanes to operate from different platforms. One of them was a Seaplane or Flying Boat Fighter. The SDF hoped to be able to provide air cover and reconnaissance for both vessels and SDF-Army Troops with a versatile and cheap platform, that didn't need airfields, only a stretch of calm water, and approached a company with experience in the building of seaplanes and other such planes, Shane Airworks. In 1925, the Shane Airworks Tromán made its debut, a plane, that met the requirements, but was prone to failure. So, Shane Airworks went back to the Drawing Boards and began work on the Piongain, which made its first flight in 1929.
They were retired from 1950 onwards, with the introduction of the first jet fighter aircraft, most notably Sciathán Fabhcún. Besides the Mark I, there had been a Mark II and plans for a Mark III, lovingly called the Jet-Penguins (Piongain means penguin).

If we're going to have that many subs, then I may just have to get 'ole Nevy back into the fray...

[Novaya Equestria]

K.

I was thinking that I would have my ships rotate whenever one gets tired from combat or anything. Let's call it comvat rotation - replace a combat-exhausted ship with another who isn't combat-exhausted. The exhausted ship must take non-combat duties like paperwork or recuperate for one day before being sent out to combat again to replace the exhausted ship.

Yeah sorry but no can do, even though I do understand your point, sadly rules are rules and I do have to enforce it and say that the 6 ship limit remains considering how combat exhaustion is nearly non-existent.

Well crud. That didn't go well. That means I'll have to put NCS Broadsword on stand by, and by stand by, I meant that she won't and WILL NOT appear in the RP yet. Due to the rules, of course.

Don't worry so much, the surface forces haven't been neglected either and the 5th aviation division still follows aviation cruiser mechanics to some point so he'll be in for a surprise.

Alright then, I'll shift her off later

[Kanadorika]

Would a Des Moines class heavy cruiser be allowed, given she was launched in 1946, but still a WWII design? Considering the Worcester class too.

[Novaya Equestria]

Would a Des Moines class heavy cruiser be allowed, given she was launched in 1946, but still a WWII design? Considering the Worcester class too.

Yes. 1900s-1950s ships are allowed.

[Higher Japan]

Would a Des Moines class heavy cruiser be allowed, given she was launched in 1946, but still a WWII design? Considering the Worcester class too.

Well we'll have to see but should be OK

Also Novaya since broadsword is the only supply ship I'm sorry to make this hard but rules are rules. You have to jettison another ship and keep her on or jettison another to fit the rules of 6 ships with 1 being an aux

However you can keep 1 as a back up only to be used if one of your ships sink, but broadsword can't be one.

Personnel file - Operational Sector Ark Circle - North

Name: KNS Berspent
Type: Heavy Cruiser
Class: Berspent Class
Role: General Purpose
Nation of origin: Kanadorika
Year commissioned: 1948
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Berspent
Gender: Female
Character: Berspent is something of a computer and engineering geek; after all she does boast a respectable array of electronics systems and sophisticated weaponry. Because of this, she is something of an introvert; preferring the company of her latest "inventions" to that of strangers. Nevertheless, she is caring of those she deems to be close, and will do anything in her power to protect them. Berspent can sometimes be rather slow and sluggish, finding it difficult to keep pace with other cruisers and destroyers. She overcomes this with her ability to locate and destroy targets from a considerable distance.
Technical Description of the vessel: From afar, Berspent seems like a typical Kanadorikan heavy cruiser; 9x8" guns, a DP secondary armament, and a lack of torpedoes. This couldn't be further from the truth. Berspent is all about firepower, and each automatic gun of her main battery can fire 12 shells in a minute. This allows her to pump out a constant stream of gunfire that gives even the light guns of destroyers a run for their money. These aren't mere 5" shells, however, but 8" superheavy shells designed to seek and destroyer other cruisers. Given that she is a late Kanadorikan cruiser design, Berspent is equipped with highly advanced electronics ranging from surveillance radars, to fire control radar and analog computers, which project the path of a target onto her glasses.

Berspent is the epitome of mid to late Kanadorikan WWII cruiser design philosophy; a vessel must be capable of detecting, firing at, and destroying an enemy ship at the greatest distance possible to make up for its own lack of maneuverability. She boasts an impressive AA suite, which like the other guns, is centrally directed by the radar system.

Special abilities: Berspent has the ability to detect both surface and air targets at range with her search radar, and can return accurate and rapid fire. This makes her ideal at harassing enemy cruisers and even destroyers, though she will find engaging enemy battleships to be a nightmare as she lacks torpedoes. Her AA systems make her an excellent escort for larger vessels, who in return defend her from enemy capital ships.

"It appears we have been afflicted with some amount of damage." I informed the bridge crew in a relaxed and tranquil manner. Bodies and steel continued bouncing on the deck. The ship began losing speed, causing me to wonder if our propulsion was hit.

"What is the status of the boilers? Has engineering gotten back to you?"

"Captain...we have suffered a magazine explosion. Our ship is no longer one, but it has broken into two just behind the forefunnel."

I stared outside the bridge window at the sea beyond, watching the hell of battle unfold. "Very well. Inform the men that a directive to abandon ship has been ordered. See to it that my crew escapes safely please."

"Yes captain! I assume you'll follow?"

"No, I shall stay right here."

"But captain!"

"That is all."

The second officer grabbed the intercom and ordered to abandon ship. Soon, I could see men bailing off the sides, finding death in the water to be preferable to death in a steel cage. The A and B turrets in front of me continued firing defiantly, either unaware of the condition of the ship or uncaring. The water reached higher and higher, soon enveloping the deck in its grasp. I stood, both hands behind my back as I stared at my impeding doom. It didn't phase me, and I instead felt as if this were a fitting conclusion to life.

The water began rushing into the bridge, rising above my body and finally reaching to my shoulders. The sea outside the glass window was alluring, perhaps the most stunning thing I had seen in my life. I continued admiring it until the salt water swept above my head.
