Strange, if that were the case, Nagato wouldn't go far to have feelings for him, right ?
Maybe, his reasons are to prevent the girls from having feelings for him so that he doesn't as well so if they are heavily damaged or sunk, he wouldn't be as emotionally affected if he had feeling for the ship girl. Basically what Minna did the no contact rule in Strike Witches
