Ohh her design looks great.

For want of Nautilus, Arashi stayed behind to depth-charge.
For want of a successful attack, she dashed to rejoin the fleet.
McClusky chose to gamble on her long trailing wake, they went past her.
By the time she returned, four carriers were no more.
Thus an empire fell to a US submarine and a Japanese destroyer that chose to pursue.

What a cute (and not a lewd) Eagle Union Submarine.

I wonder why her submarine rigging has Ironblood-esque mecha narwhal. Other US submarines have standard miniaturized submarine rigging.

Ask Suisai, though more recent Eagle Union releases have been rather tech-ish regardless of ship age (see Boise, a brooklyn class CL)

I was expecting a bigger gun, because you know 6in/53cal deck guns are not exactly a light armament even by 1945 fleet boat standards

... Eula at home?

Alexa, play Nightwish - Nemo

Considering that she’s US and with animal like rigging makes me curious (even tho pr4 was a month ago)

What a theoretical Kearsarge rigging would look like

(For context about “Kearsarge” she was a recently announced Aviation battleship who originated by a USA x USSR “all weapons battleship” and was basically gonna be kinda like Tashkent or Murmansk but now a BBV but still in WoWs dubbed as American)

Further more onto kearsarge as a ship unlike fusou/hyuuga which had their aft 356mm turrets replaced kearsarge had their superstructure replaced with the flight deck and it resulted in a lot of people dubbing it as an abomination as it was effectively a Montana class ship with a CVL tumor right on top of it

Stalin: I wanna buy some Yankee battleships.
US: No.
Stalin: Pretty please with cherry on top?
US: 'k, fine.

[LATER...]

Gibbs & Cox of New York: Behold our awesome, revolutionary design, Project 1058, the HYBRID BATTLESHIP CARRIER!
Stalin: WTF is this shit!?
G & C: Don't like it? Okay, here's Design B.
Stalin: ...Still a carrier.
G & C: Design C? Less planes now.
Stalin: [ANGRY RUSSIAN NOISES]

[LATER...]

G & C: Um, Stalin sir? We have a design without any planes now.
Stalin: TOO LATE TOO BUSY FIGHTING A LAND WAR AGAINST THAT TOOTHBRUSH-MUSTACHED CHAPLIN WANNABE!

[MUCH LATER...]

Wargaming employee #1: Wow! This design is awesome!
Wargaming employee #2: You know what would be better?
Employee #1: Take the guns from Design A and slap them on Design B?
Employee #2: You read my mind! Also, make sure to update the AA guns—we're gonna put this baby into Tier IX!
