This one has a depressing setting. The girls are treated as weapons, like that new girl who said she never had any food at her previous stations. And as you can see from the previous page, the higher ups also think of them as mere tools of war. No more value when it cannot be used, and need not be treated as equal. It's further supported by Kongou's memories here, probably back when she's treated like that as well. "What's a scrap of metal doing pretending to be a human?" "Why did we even put a sense of taste into these things?"I'd like to think that the admiral was real, but he died. It could go two ways, he was kind to the ship girls and treat them like humans so after he died the girls were shocked since no one cared for them anymore and keep his figure as the cutout, or he was the one treating them like scraps and was killed by the ship girls who went insane. Either way, the girls snapped.Whether the admiral exists or not though, it can go two ways: 1. They've had enough and made their own ideal admiral, who treats them like a human, in their own heads. This can potentially have a good ending, because the ship girls do normally think they're somewhat human, even if they won't deny being a weapon(Kongou does have the mechanical part, and she's aware that her fingers are stiff). So new girls who are assigned there won't find it too confusing, except for the fake admiral. 2. The girls here have all gone crazy due to the pressure and trauma of being treated as weapons and the effects of war. Similar, but this one is darker. Basically this post is where the army gathered the ship girls who have gone insane, or become "too human". This is more apparent in later pages, where Arashio has a nightmare, probably when she was left to die and no one came for her, because she's just a tool.Of course, it can actually be both, but that just makes the situation worse. Well, after a long time I think I find a Kancolle comic that I'll look forward to read.

Really, you don't have to sum it up so fast. Us Translators are not doing our jobs and you sum it up just hurts like hell. ^^;
What's wrong?This kinpira...Oh my, how unusual~Ah, I-It's spicy... but it's not badIt's biwa!Hm, yum! The tamagoyaki is so soft!Something like "What do weapons even need to eat for?", right?Don't worry about refills, so eat lots!I was always treated like a violent savage back in my old base...Fufu~ It's my specialty.I've received some of the seeds from Tane in Block 3.How is it?There's also dessert today.I added a little pepper in it.Here, some cucumbers I picked from the garden!Hmm...I've never gotten to eat at the table, surrounded by people like this, so I was kind of surprised...
