SPIT ON DAT THANG!!!

No, I'd slap

This image is from the Pixiv profile banner of the artist at the time of upload. It's also available in a regular Pixiv post from 2019 here, but in 1600x800 and with a watermark, so I opted to upload this version.

How many of those carriers actually took hits?

If the range of those railguns are anything to go by, battleships won't either.

True...

Then again, Hood may be a little biased due to some memories of getting an incredibly unlucky hit in a critical area that made her go boom.

Also... am I the only one who realizes that this rigging would be perfect for Battleship Kaga to get along with Akagi-chan?

"Some soulless blip on the radar"? She does realize that at that range, radar will get blocked by the horizon and you're going to need aircraft on scene to guide the projectile in?

This is regarding Hood mistaking Prinz Eugen for Bismarck. This actually happened at the Battle of the Denmark Strait, and what I was referencing here. This is why Hood looks away in that panel (several of the folks on reddit caught this.) Hood's in-game quotes reference this is well.

I've been a very serious student of WWII history for a long, long time and nothing makes me happier than after adding an obscure (to the casual) tidbit of historical truth to my work here and within seconds of posting a new comic, several folks post replies with "I know what that is!" Good stuff.

Just throwing this out there, as I'm a bit of a proponent for nuclear power, but a nuclear reactor doesn't go 'boom' when bad things happen. It can't go boom, the fuel isn't enriched enough.

nuclear reactors CAN go boom just look at chernobyl

Chernobyl was using a flawed reactor and one can look to SEVERAL other examples of Nuclear power that did not explode (the reactors aboard the russian submarine Kursk being a perfect example.)

Most reactors in a military setting are built with the intent to make them manageable in the event of damage or possible melt down, or so I would hope

Except "she" is the correct pronoun for Bismark, despite what that idiot of a captain thought. He believed that Bismarck should be considered male because she was the most powerful battleship Germany ever made despite the fact that there were at least EIGHT battleships in the world that had more firepower, and most of those also had radar that didn't get ruined when the rifles fired.

So no, Bismarck is a she, not a he.

Bismarck, like every ship ever built anywhere, is an inanimate object. It is not a he, nor a she, it is a THING.

Ships have always historically used female pronouns and that trend continues today. Try having this argument with real sailors and see how much they care.

Which would only show how some people are stupidly attached to inanimate objects as if they were alive.

We play a game that makes characters out of these ships because it's fun and yostar can relatively easily write amusing or interesting scenarios based on their service histories.

Considering that ship is the only thing between you and a watery grave, it made sense for sailors to treat their vessels with the utmost respect. Treating them like a lady one might say.

That tradition continues even today, with very few languages making the exception. Ships are either women or gendered after who they're named after.

More likely "Bismarck", the Sabaton song about how awesome the Bismarck was.

Which actually kinda makes me wonder how AL Bismarck feels about the real world Bismarck being male, making her one of the only known genderswapped characters.

Eh, that's a point of contention. As far as it is to my knowledge only two people ever called IRL Bismarck male during that time; the ship's CO and the CO of the submarine U-556. Everyone else both their crews and elsewise called her "she". This of course excludes Naval Historians and Sabaton's retellings of those two men, has referred to Bismarck as the traditional "she" across the board.
Personally I side with maintaining her as herself due to the alleged reasoning of the COs for calling Bismarck "him" just being a pitiful attempt to somehow snub Hitler, as opposed to trying to make any noble statements regarding naval ship naming conventions or really anything else really naval related. The part that actually matters for ship's.
I don't mind bucking traditional conventions if there is a sound reasoning for doing so, however being politically petty isn't sound, it's just sad.

Are we really arguing about the gender of a several-hundred-ton steel death machine?

This makes me kinda wonder how would heartless versions of Reimu and Marisa would look like now?...

this is so cool!!!!!

He should have been aware, the moment he saw 'sensei-only'.

I summon Kayoko to protect me

There's a reason why cats are the best hunters in the animal kingdom, they have the highest kill rate out there.

And sensei is never going to see the light of day, ever again...

Sensei: I am so glad to see that my students from different schools are getting along with each other (clueless)

Help me, Kayoko...

Toxoplasmosis.

Euadi2's translation: X

I'm going off the scar and the bangs on this one for male with hair, and he most closely resembles Cumber. I'm also not entirely sure if Jiren is throwing a controller or if its another object.

Very fitting, considering the recent announcement.

If only ERB was here. I wonder what type of popsicle flavor hers would be.

You jerks, she is sick, she was not able to feed you for a good reason. Also did none of the other Nuns feed you? The heck?

I guess Pepper feels a bit random today.
