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

[New Antonalia]

I just realized I might have under gunned my 1943 refit of Sergei... especially since heavy cruisers around that time were starting to show up with 203 mm or larger guns...

[Sterkistan]

Don't worry Rustyal, you won't be alone in the repair bays for long, I'm probably going to end up there soon.

[Legatia]

Is anyone planning on remaining at the docks or should I just go to the bathhouse?

[Sterkistan]

I feel like just moving on, cause I'm pretty sure New Antonalia is asleep and I feel like interacting with people in the repair/bathhouse

[The Selkie]

Is anyone planning on remaining at the docks or should I just go to the bathhouse?

The bathhouse is the current spot to be for all those, who are damaged or need a morale boost or just don't want to be alone. Amy will be there as soon as I post.
Also, Rhi will spent a time of her day with writing an AAR and a new patrol schedule, so if anyone wants to meet up with her, she's welcoming any distraction.

I see. No, sadly no Mk.37 torpedoes, only dumbfire torpedoes for general usage.
However, for special circumstances, I would like to ask the submarine players to keep a few prototype wire-guided torpedoes at the ready, if they wish.

What about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G7es_torpedo , or the G7e/T4 Falke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G7e_torpedo , both were fitted with Acoustic seeker heads as early as 1943?

The Falke was slow and kinda dumb, with the G7ES being a more advanced version in use by 1944.

I recommend these as out special use torps, as wire guidance systems really only got popular in the 1980s, when we had computer tech that could handle the commands needed to actively guide the fish. Acoustic seeker heads came about earlier, and were simpler,

Why not both as special usage torps? I could get along with that.
As for general usage torps, though, only dumbfire. I am not sure if we want to have our own Torpedo Crisis, though.

SO! As of late, I have gotten quite bored in the middle of class, and created these two drawings before it was over. Though one is a WIP, I'm proud of both!

Looks awesome! You can draw better then me...

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: PRNS Adeline, formally U-935, "Leviathan of the Mediterranean"
Type: Submarine
Class: Drako class
Role: Hunter killer, fleet combat sub
Nation of origin: Volkstrad (originaly), Empire of Parcia (captured half finished and built in Rome)
Year commissioned: 1949
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Pretty similar to her sister ship U-511, a captured Volkstradi type 7C, how ever, in reflection of her Imperial (Italian) Heritage, her hair is a raven black. She still maintains a lithe yet noticeably toned figure, due to her increased tonnage and stronger engines then her sister ships. Due to their similar design, her wet suit and and gear mostly match that of her sister ships, though her bow is larger and longer, and she is a duel screwed ship. This is both due to her increased torpedo magazine, but also due to her powerful Dsh model sonar system. She also sports a pair of twin 30mm gun turrets on her each shoulder, and her embarkation pod, when equipped, is mounted on her back. Unless on a mission required to do so, she usually leaves the pod off, as it disrupts her stealthy profile.
Gender: Female
Character: She is outwardly shy and withdrawn, often taking a long time to fully get comfortable around new people. She is, how ever, a incredible sailor, not questioning orders and putting her best in to her mission. She holds a special hatred in her heart of most destroyer model Abbysals as well as select others due to past experiences in the Mediterranean.
Special abilities:
Reinforced hull - due to her titanium hull, her maximum depth is pushed to an estimated 630 feet
Special forces teams despite her designated status as a hunter killer sub, her large docking ring was sometimes used a mount for a small pod like craft that could contain and deploy a small, 6 fairy team of Parcian "Ghost ops" soldiers. Specialized in sabotage and boarding tactics, the teams were equipped with rapid fire smgs, shotguns, and specially made, high yield demo charges. She carried 3 6 man teams and could deploy them from the bay, under the cover of darkness using small inflatable boats.

advanced passive sonar when she was captured, one of the few pieces of intact equipment she had installed on her was a very sensitive "Dsh.mk27" sonar system, making her passive array extremely effective even 20 years after her first voyage. Her active sonar, due to the space the Dsh arrays takes up is smaller In size, thus limiting its capability to 81% of its normal capacity due to the smaller size.
Technical Description of the vessel:

Armour: Titanium Pressure hull allows for deep diving, although it is rated to survive hits from 12.7 MG fire, and glancing blows from small caliber cannons fire (20-30mm)
Notes:

I understand she is beefy, but since Monty is going to be out of Action for a long while, and likely not deployed often, I plan on using Addy here as my main OC, as such im trying to fit her to compliment Whitney who i perfect for stealth and SIGNANT, by Adeline be beefy for combat.

OOC-section:
RP-sample:
Have you read and understood the rules?

The OOC-section is missing (I know, that I already accepted your other char, but still! Formalities! ; )), but other then that, she's good and really beefy - as well as Ro-chan's sis. Accepted.

[Sterkistan]

Decided against leaving New Antonalia hanging and I'll wait for him to post, timezones are a bitch and I want to meet people, but it's fine, I'll get to meet everyone at some point. I'd feel like shit if I just left him.

[Higher Japan]

Sorry if i'm just enforcing what i wish to happen, but i'd like people to meet up at the shop of the twins so that introductions can be properly done.

You're right... Didn't think of that.
Oh, well, time for an edit without an edit!

A good idea, but to be honest, I planned an assembly for the next day. Would the twins be willing to handle catering?

Feed us Bauxite Eh sure.

[The Selkie]

Feed us Bauxite Eh sure.

What was that?! ; )
Anyway, would anyone prefer a mixer in the evening, with music, dancing and, as soon as the destroyers are sent to bed, alcohol?

Only in it for the alcohol.
Also, I made the post about not skipping Sergei before I got replied too, I just didn't want to shift on without a reason.

Yeah, yeah, Amy is waiting for Sergei - maybe he wants in the same direction and would like to accompany them on the way, until the entrance to the woman-portion of the bath, or something. If my post on that matter can be misunderstood, then please say so, I am always open to improvement of my posts.

Now, I keep changing this stance a heap, but I think I'll wait for Sergei to post, cause I need a bit more content for my next post, but if I can get one up I'll just edit this one here to say that I got one up.
EDIT: How about that, I got a post up. Turns out Cathy could make a good idol for Diamantina.

Inb4 all the food is laced with alcohol. I imagine the base's food supply will take a major hit to Taiha

Imagine the food a group of intoxicated battleships could finish off, I feel bad for the supplies just thinking about it.

[Kraicia]

To give you all a heads up, I'm not going to be able to send another reply until 2:00pm (7:03am over here on the west coast right now). I have some family affairs to attend, and while I may still be lurking on my Iphone, I will not be able to get a response going until after 2:00pm. So if there are any replies that follow up after this post, just hang in there, I'll be back soon.

[Rustyal]

I'm going to be camping this weekend, so my post frequency will be heavily reduced. I have the same timezone as Kraicia if that helps.

Be glad it's not cannabis. Battleship-tonnage munchies...

Bloody hell, imagine Catherine. She's got 12x as large of a fuel bunker as Yamato!

Sounds like the kind of mischief Amy's fairies would get up and running to defend the honour and integrety of Mommy Amy...
So, anyway mixer in the evening it is. Maybe someone can organize music as well. ; )

You see, cara, water of life for the Selkie is Whiskey - which doesn't mean, that they are immune to alcohol, but you'll need a whole lot to make 7,000 tons of light cruiser sloshed and putting a lampshade on her head... especially one named after the Goddess of Fertility, Horses and, in a secondary function, the results of brewing and their consumption.
Granted, amongst the other light cruisers of the SDF-Navy, Rhi is a bit of a lightweight, but she can hold her own! She says, not remembering the one night in Alto Mare (Lutetii) and where that Heavy Cruiser of the Lutetiian Navy came from the next morning.

Fun fact
Vodka derives from the russian word Voda, which means water.
Vodka for Catherine is just like spicy water.

Yeah, I once heard something like that...
I once also heard, that Whiskey derives from the Irish-Gaelic uisce beatha or its Scottish-Gaelic Counterpart, which means, literally, Water of Life.

[Kraicia]

Alright guys, I'm back. I'll post a reply as soon as I can, hopefully not much has past. Ah well, let's go this show on the road...
