Of Ships and Girls and Shipgirls - a KanColle-RP (OOC)

[The Selkie]

That'd be nice, thanks.

And the add is added.

[Danceria]

I'm looking for a ship that has absurd radar and firing range, but doesn't do too hot in close quarters combat. Sort of like a sniper.

Yamato or Iowa, perhaps Jap destroyers since their cannons weren't good.

[Novaya Equestria]

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: NCS Chrysanthemum (NCS Chrysantheme, in Selks' case)
Type: Destroyer
Class: Blume-class
Role: Naval fleet escort, flagship escort (especially missions involving NCS Novaya)
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.

Were Japanese decent range but not too powerful? Or would investing in good old fashioned American firepower work?

Their cannons weren't really good, but 46 cms were fine. Torps were god tier.

Torps are always god tier, until some crazy Dancerian scientist tries to create a cannon that shoots torps out of the water.

[Higher Japan]

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: IHJN Himiko
Type: Supply ship
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.

Technical Data
Displacement: 10,500 tons
Length (overall): 150 meters
Width: 15 meters
Draught: 6 meters
Propulsion: 4 shafts, 16,000 shp
Speed: 20 knots
Complement: 800
Armament: 1x 120 mm anti air cannon
Armour: None
Notes:

She is purpose built to making savory food.

How about a gun, that shoots torpedoes, which shoot torpedoes?
Fun aside, as well as torpedo hardkills, a torpedo armament is always good to have.

And you got the t-shirt as well - accepted. She'll, as we talked about, not bunk with her brother, though.

[Rustyal]

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: RNV Imperatritsa Ketrin [Empress Catherine]
Type: Fortress Dreadnought
Class: Imperatritsa-Ketrin
Role: Superheavy siege ship, flagship of navy, trump card.
Nation of origin: Rustyal
Year commissioned: 1949
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: https://imgur.com/QnH24ke Her rig is on a much larger scale, however, and she's like, 7'6.
Gender: Female
Character: Catherine is not what you'd expect of a ship of her size- she's a loose cannon and doesn't know much tactics, only dive in head first and give the enemy's crotch a good punch. In other words, she's frisky.
Special abilities: She's ludicrously strong, and can annihilate basically everything with a full salvo. It's equivalent to a small nuclear blast. Nevermind her intense endurance, with a massive fuel bunker of 44,000 tons. In comparison, Yamato had 6,500 tons. She can stay at sea for insane periods of time.
Technical Description of the vessel: The Imperatritsa Ketrin was the only ship of her class, a pure political statement from Rustyal. She's been designed to take down capital ships- even itsself. Ketrin served a lot of her life in port, using the scary fleet-in-being tactic during most of the cold war. After the cold war, she served as a minor museum ship, letting civilians look at her up close while she protected the port city of Vladivostok.

Now we have the big one... I'm kinda taking this like a WW2-version of the famous Longsword, sold by Lyras over on GE&T and, if you agree, Rustyal, she'll have the same drawbacks: Enormous fuel consumption, enormous turning circles, a gigantic target and middle finger to physics and practicality, but if the Captain of that vessel/the ship girl wants something gone, it's gone.
Would that be agreeable to you, Rustyal, as those will basically make her our Hotel Yamato?
Btw, I love your artwork.

Thank you! I'm fine with all of those drawbacks, as that's literally what I intended beforehand. However, she carries MagLev technology aboard, which makes her turrets ridiculously well operated for their size. Which may make her even more OP.

MagLev as in Magnetic Levitation? Just to be clear, it will still be damn slow, despite that, slower then any other turret in the fleet, but still faster then one would expect. No turning this thing like it's a helicopter's rotor - that only gives people ideas! ; )

Besides that, accepted. Glad to have you aboard.

[Danceria]

I am most likely going to be an S-100 E-boat recolour: small, fast, and made with German engineering, and in the words of OP: "Torps are god-tier". The slight variant is that the Telcontar will be more of a "seek and destroy" type ship rather than a "go in broadsides a blazing", so he'll have a more ranged and radar based focus. If any of you techy dudes can lend me some advice on how to, that'd be great.

If you want radar on the boat, don't work from an E-boat. Too small for carrying radar in our timeframe, I think.
I'd start from an Elbing-class, if the radar is the focal point. And amp up the torpedo armament even more.
However, one could make it a Schnellbootbegleitschiff and have that have the radar, then using radio to guide fairy-crewed E-boats to their destinations... and their torpedo's destinations. As said, though, E-boats and the likes are too small for being represented as shipgirls.

Heh... anime plot denied~ On a side note... I *might* apply for two other (original) ships... if I can bash out a believable backstory. The second one gives me possible name-clash issues though...

Oh, and, you've listed her as a siege ship. She's more of a Hyper-Dreadnought or SBB, but, woo.

Definately either an Elbing or a Baolo class sub. Regardless, app will be up tomorrow.
