“Those new electronics have their uses, I do remember shortly before the war started that local school kids took pictures of me when the visited, Not too different from the old cameras our crews used to have, but much more portable and versatile from what Kentucky has told me.”

“That aside, Buord and other old departments that dealt with ship construction and armament of the navy we knew have been consolidated into NAVSEA So they’re the ones to talk to about issues regarding our ‘Health’ and weaponry. They’ve, so far, not had any major complaints from our siblings I’m aware of, so long as you’ve had your torps inspected by them to fix those detonators.”

The brunette pulled out a bottle of the liquor from one of the cabinets she was near before she sighed.

“Right, If you’ve got three individuals in your head you need to see about getting one of your fairies on your shoulder to give a sign as to who the fuck is talkin’ sis... So aside from Akagi who else did you say you were?”

Bowfin sighed heavily and nodded at her younger brother’s final question.

“In short? Everything. Seriously, the doctrine post 1970 has shifted exclusively around the Nookie Poo’s, You’re Either A Boomer, one that carry’s multiple nuclear missiles waiting endlessly incase you’re needed to launch them... And Hunter-Killers, The subs that are designed to... well hunt and kill boomers, So yeah, A lot has changed in that regard.”

The lavender-haired submarine’s face lit up a bit before she continued.

“However, Now that the navy has been presented with the abyssals and their semi-immunity to modern sonar and Radar or even the new spy satellites we and the russians put up between the 1970′s and 1990′s, our old tricks are still viable and work now. All Boomers have been recalled and placed back into drydock per a UN resolution that was unanimously approved by the 5 major nations of the security council. The risk of a nuke being lost to the abyssals is too great to justify keeping any out at sea even if they can’t be seen by the abyssals. They’re pretty much reduced to a recon role until the end of the conflict or another use for them is found... That’s probably why they were giving you such a hard time.””

Isaak’s face remained stony, not humored by the woman’s attempt at a joke. His Russian accent gave away why he might not be as warm and welcoming of humor as another individual would be.

“I am Isaak Martyn, lead Research and Development Engineer at Yokohama Naval base. I specialize with Ship girl rigging improvements and repairs. I am here on behalf of a close colleague of mine and was pointed to the admiral on this naval base who specializes in Medicine pertaining to ship girls. You are more than welcome to double check my credentials if they seem off to you. It is a frequent occurrence as you can probably see.” He presented his credentials to the woman. For a foreigner, he had considerably high clearance in the navy.

Perhaps it was the alcohol righting her keel from the metaphorical rouge wave that Missouri... Or now Yomi, hit the elder battleship with or it was a form of denial to insulate possibilities from New Jersey’s mind. Whatever the case may have been the Brunette was acting a bit more like herself in Missouri’s company despite the slightly off dialogue on who she was talking about.

“Denied, you had that opportunity as Akagi, right? So suck it up, You should know what happened after the war and how it set up Japan for one hell of an economic growth spurt. Did you want me to get big sis into the conversation and go over the possibilities of Downfall with you again? because I’m sure you don’t want to take that particular red pill.”

Bofin nodded at this, after all, she specialized in hunting down supply ships.

“That’s entirely possible... Could we perhaps make security checks on the front end a bit more thorough? Monitor who all is coming through before a surprise inspection? That might catch whatever shipments might be containing these drugs from leaving port in the first place.”

The russian decided not to bother her on the detail that his car could run on more commonly available fuels, even in a war-time economy. He also internally winced at the comparison to the type of men who once held the threat of the soviet prison over his head to coerce firearm designs from him at no cost to the state.

“I see, I shall keep that in mind, You may take the knife off my key ring if you wish, I usually only have it to open postal packages. As for Ooyodo, I have my credentials and such to show I am here to help as much as the admiral is willing to help me.”

The battleship chuckled a bit as she folded her menu up and set it back behind the condiments and napkin holder.

“That makes sense, you should have seen my younger sister in the 1960′s She was so eager to get back into action, broke the speed record for fastest battleship and still holds it today, Trying to beat her comes down to environment factors now, better seas and not going against any currents, but I don’t want to start a feud with her over it.”

The american battlewagon extended her right hand to shake.

“USS New Jersey, second of the Iowa-class battleships. I don’t mind if you take it, I would request you get in touch with a guy named Isaak Martyn, big russian dude, he’s moving about trying to help with mechanical things so if it’s man made you can probably get his thoughts on how or where it was made. Not sure I can say much myself though on it, not a bell maker.”

Isaak removed his keys from the ignition. He slowly opened the door and handed his keys over, on them there was a folding knife with a blade about 6 centimeters long, from his jacket he withdrew a tokarev pistol and handed it to the woman, grip first. When he did get out of the car, he towed at nearly two meters tall, perhaps only a few of the tallest battleships were able to top his height.

“The engine is in the back of the car under the trunk compartment and the hood has the boiler in it. She runs on steam.”

“Well... we’d be better suited for that role due to our sea-keeping and size compared to both the Japanese midget subs and the nukie-poos respectively. I suppose that SECNAV might be giving it serious thought if they were willing to sink in a year and a half of time you could be running sorties against abyssal ships and the resources needed for that sort of thing to boot .”

“At least this time BUORD isn’t giving us a broken-record line about our usage of torpedoes. Just hope that if we find any duds they don’t try to pull a circular run on us.”

The submarine stopped before a puzzled look came over her face.

“Since you went through the training and all, Did you get caught up on the new structure since you were last aware of what was going on as a ship? If not I can certainly help fill out gaps given that Like Missouri I was a museum ship.”

“S-Sorry about that, USS Nicholas, eldest of the Fletcher-class, and one of the most decorated, destroyers in the US Navy. I take it your name is Moly then? Again, I’m sorry for having accosted you like that. I-If you’d like I’m willing to compensate you with something from Mamiya’s Cafe’ that is decaffeinated.” Nicholas held her hand out to shake with a small smile on her face, trying to show she was indeed deeply sorry for having miss identified him and following through with her trap.

The battleship gave another happy grin as she spoke. Iowa was aware of the destroyer’s pride in being fast, and as the lead ship of the fastest *battleship* class in the world, Iowa could relate to that pride.

“If I’m not fast enough to keep up with you in eating I’ll take a to-go box and will munch along the way. Where too if you wish to continue the date aside from the cafe has yet to be determined~.”
