Artificial Respiration! Give'er a kiss! Kiss!Mow Thoo?Ushio-chan, do mouth-to-mouth!Ushio will protect Akebono-chan without fail!I, Ikazuchi, the self-proclaimed Eternal Rival of Bono, will assist!No, not like that...Ma'am!Ushio-chan, try coming nicely along side her.Abukuma Training InstituteEhhh...Today is tugboat practice, okay?NEXT! DO ME!
C'mon, Ushio-chan!Gaah! You're obnoxious!squishThere are lots of times when you'll need to assist your allies, so this is a very important exercise for you.
Naturally, it may come from combat with the enemy, but there are also times when collisions with your allies will leave you immobilized!Question!Right then, let's get started with practice right away.Aren't we doing maneuvers?All right, Akebono, you play the part of the heavily damaged ship.
Will you lie down?Are you speaking from personal experience?
Abukuma is, she rammed Kitakami during practice maneuvers and lost her bow, having to be towed by Mutsu. In the next panel Tanikaze is being punished by holding buckets of water, a typical 'stand in the hallway' punishment in Japan.I'd absolutely never be so incompetent as to let myself need to be towed, though...
Akebono is lying, she was towed by Ushio to Manila in the aftermath of the Battle of Leyte Gulfsqueezeglomp
