For 3 years she patrolled, and guarded this Island by herself before others started to arrive. She is normally quiet, and somewhat friendly though she tends to keep everyone at Arms length cause of her isolation for those three years. Cause of how long she's spent guarding "The Island" She never even thinks about leaving it anymore. Her orders to guard it being near absolute, though she doesn't know why.

				Armed Merchant Cruisers? They were common in WWI and early in WWII, when the supply of warships was tight; you'd take a commercial ship, usually something like an ocean liner, strip out most of the luxury and then mount guns on the deck to act as escorts for convoys.<br><br>A typical example of this was the <em>Jervis Bay</em>; she was a 14,000 ton ocean liner of the Aberdeen and Commonwealth Line, that had taken up from trade at the outbreak of WWII, she was outfitted with seven 6in naval guns and two 3in naval guns that had been in storage. On October 28 1940, she was the sole escort for the 37 ships of Convoy HX-84, traveling from Halifax in Nova Scotia to Liverpool; on the 5th of November, the German Pocket Battleship <em>Admiral Scheer</em> loomed over the horizon to set upon HX-84.<br><br><em>Jervis Bay</em> stood alone against this tiger of the seas, and for no less than three hours, her elderly guns roared their defiance against the Nazi warship; but in the end, the <em>Jervis Bay</em> was no match, and she was lost to the seas; but she had bought precious time, time for the convoy to scatter, and in the end, only five of the convoy were lost, and one more was damaged. The gallantry and valour of the <em>Jervis Bay</em> was not missed though, and her Captain, Edward Fegen, was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his heroism.

				WOW! That is an amazing story, Major. <br><br>I'll have to think on it as I'm not sure the FoF would have used such a ship. I'll think on it tnight, and get back with you tmorrow. Okay?<br>

				Fair enough; I'd personally entertained the idea of AMCs being maybe supply ships, or intended for long-range surveillance.

She is not under command of any other know FOG ship and just content with roaming the ocean without specific destination. Her stance against human is best described to be that of tolerance as although she claims that she doesn't like the humans, she is also known to once in a while mingle with them, in particular when she finds a place that interests her, mostly in culinary sense which considering the fact that she doesn't actually need to eat is weird in itself. She dislikes confrontation with passion, so much that she sometimes gets branded as a coward by the other FOG ships. In fact, in the event that she meets a human vessel, her policy is not to attack unless attacked.

				Thats why I have two nicknames. Suzutsuki in japanese means Clear Moon or Autumn Moon AKA Moon of the THIRD season since for Japanese, seasons starts from Spring. It also happens that in Japan, Autumn is the season when the moon is at its brightest and most beautiful. The moon viewing festival also happens in Autumn... well.... technically, winter solstice but its still more into the autumn than winter. Thus Mitsuki (Third Moon) and Mizuki (Beautiful Moon) actually refers to Suzutsuki.

				It's sort of a British Army joke; the average British soldier (the "Squaddie" or squad member) is often portrayed as larcenous to the extreme, and would steal anything that isn't bolted down if he thought he could get away with it- and then he'd usually come back with a bunch of his mates and some heavy equipment to steal the rest of the stuff.

				Looking at the image below, you will see a glowing Glyph at the very bow of the colored ships. I noticed that they're all the same from the three battleship, and Takao. I'm thinking that this glyph is a "Fleet Identifier" Meanign that is shows that these ships are in Kongo's fleet/Japan blockade fleet. So it would stand to reason that since no of our ships are actually part of an Established Fleet. They would be missing this Fleet Identifier.<br><br>What do y'all think?<br><br>(https://lh3.ggpht.com/-qsmscE1RmkY/UlN-aWyzyiI/AAAAAAAAF7I/hoRjvyPvQgw/s1600/ss+(2013-10-07+at+08.37.14).jpg)

				Yeah, I'm fairly sure the symbol on the bowsprits there on (L-R) <em>Kongo, Haruna, Kirishima</em> and <em>Takao</em> are the markings of the Fleet in it's entirety; the symbols further aft on their bows are the ship's personal ID glyphs.

				&nbsp;Well that idea went about as far as it could go. Oh wait it didn't. It crashed and burned hard. Just like a lot of other stuff I've tried. Guess this proves it was a good idea Texas wasn't placed in charge of the fleet. Who knows dumb decsions like this one the fleet would end up sunk and destroyed in seventy-two hours or less.

While the warships patrol the coasts and prevent humanity from returning to the seas, someone has to make sure that they remain supplied with weapons and nanomaterials while on their patrols. And that task falls to the ships of the Auxiliary Supply Fleets. They come in all forms; as Liberty Ships, Empire Ships, and in the case of <em>Abbeydale</em>, as <em>Dale</em>-class Fleet Replenishment Oilers of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.<br><br>Abby herself is a globetrotter, having supplied ships from Scapa Flow to Singapore; she's also more than a little bit opportunistic; on some rare occasions, she has let humans aboard her, in return for a suitable recompense.

				&nbsp;That tidbit about the Kimono and no underwear is real. What I didn't say though is that although wearing underwear with kimono is still considered bad manner and frowned upon, its not a grave insult anymore. THAT and that kind of short kimono during old Japan was only worn by prostitutes XD<br><br>My logic behind that hole: Suzutsuki was a Japanese Warship of WWI to WWII, some knowledge of Japan customs should be part of her programming as a given. The problem being that her knowledge was kinda... outdated being an old warship, add along that being part of FOG, her knowledge of current Japanese state would be kinda holey at weird places... especially since her best method of finding out would be either experiencing that personally OR through the FOG database about Human custom (which I imagine would have so many holes to make a swiss cheese blush)

				Generally, what we're doing is all writing a story. So we don't use the "Dice Feature" (gawd, I got to learn how to use it to make my Stories more entertaining).

				Well, the first carrier girl we see is <em>Zuikaku</em>, in Chapter 45, so as a note.<br><br>As for arms and armament, the Fog ships use energy weapons based around the weapons of their WW2 counterparts, so <em>Ranger</em> would likely have eight particle cannons (as the real <em>Ranger</em> had eight 5-inch guns) and forty rapid-firing particle auto cannons, as the real <em>Ranger</em>, again, had forty .50 machine guns; she'd also probably have six high-angle AA lasers, housed where the real ship had its' funnels.<br><br>If she does have aircraft, she'd likely use craft that outwardly resemble early model Grumman F4F Wildcat fighters, Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers, and <em>possibly</em> Grumman/General Motors TBF/TBM Avenger torpedo bombers.

				Chapter 45 pg 26 is where the ability is shown. Between Zuikaku saying that she'll take them where to go and the fact that there appear to be some kind of boosters pointed down and in the lowest panel the ship appears to take off seems to point towards that fact.

				You're welcome. Unfortunately it only shows the take off and not them traveling so you can't tell whether they're flying or just jumping but jumping seems a little more likely given the way the ship takes off.

				Okay I am ready to introduce my character here is her Sheet and I will write up an intro for her after lunch.&nbsp; ;D<br><br><br>Name: Ranger. (but goes by Range because she thinks it is cooler.)<br>Hull Number: CV-4<br>Class: (I can't find specifically where it says what class she is)<br>Affiliation: Fleet of Fog, (One of five ships sent to guard Hawaii but eventually was the only one left and roams around the area near Hawaii to keep from being bored.)<br><br>Mental Model: (Its hard to find a mature looking woman in anime. hahaha. When she lets her hair down or acts out she looks a lot younger.)<br><br><br>(http://www.robotechresearch.com/battlecry/characters/chase%20copy.JPG)<br><br><br>Ship Image:<br>(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/USS_Ranger_CV-4_Pearl_Harbor_1944.jpg)<br><br>History: Range was made after the final sea battle between the combined UN fleet and the Fleet of Fog ships. Thus she has never really been in combat save for sending her planes to scare the islanders back when they tried to run away. After the battle She was one of the original five ships of the Fog assigned to guard and patrol the area around Hawaii due to its strategic value, however after 7 years the other ships were called away to other areas, leaving her alone with the islanders and several memorials. After another 8 years of boring patrols and practice maneuvers with her planes she snuck away one day and explored the island and its various monuments, she was surprised at how much the humans had respected their ships as much as the crew, especially when visiting the USS Missouri and felt an odd sensation that made her feel ill. <br><br>She at first thought it was Land Sickness or some other such thing and returned to her ship, taking longer and slower routes around the island or <em>jumping </em> at random so that the islanders could fish and get the food and salvage they needed while she enjoyed the open ocean and raced her planes all around. Now she is returning to Hawaii and her radar is picking up other contacts that weren't there before.<br><br><br>Loadout: - eight (8)&nbsp; particle cannons.<br>-forty (40)&nbsp; rapid-firing particle auto cannons.<br>-six (6) high-angle AA lasers, housed where the real ship had its' funnels.<br><br>Planes: -P51 Mustangs. <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.aviationspectator.com/files/images/P-51-Mustang-30.jpg)</div></div><br>-Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.aviation-history.com/douglas/sbd-2em.jpg)</div></div><br>Personality: Range likes to keep everything clean and orderly, not to an OCD level but enough that she would appreciate it if others were clean around her. That is if she had anyone to talk to, despite her best efforts no one will speak to her, leaving her to find her own manner of entertainment. She enjoys pretending she is part of a crew and spends most of her time pretending to man the various systems or work as the deck crew, checking her fighters and sending them off with a wave of her hand.<br><br>Due to lack of interaction with others she hasn't really learned much on how to act human save for simple things and spends most of the time sailing and flying her planes around, having them shoot at the water in mock battles and epic adventures.

				&nbsp;Though thinking back on it <em>Texas</em> might not do it as the extreme reaction from <em>Ari</em> isn't as comical as it used to be not to mention the chastisement from the fleet and her really feeling sorry for herself over it. Though I might have it be an honest accident on <em>Texas</em>'s part when she says it so that might be worth it. <br><br>&nbsp;Of course either way it goes <em>Suzu</em> will be contacting <em>Ari</em> through the JTN to find out what was going on and if she should return.

				Okay, so, the subs are up on Crunchyroll. And according to them, the Fog used to have aircraft, but they disbanded their air component after the Great Naval Battle; the <em>Seiran </em>there was remade later by I-400, and <em>Zuikaku</em> is using it to go fishing.<br><br>The reason why was that the planes didn't have Klein Fields, so they were easily smashed up by human anti-aircraft weaponry.

However being a German Battleship speed was a slight issue, were it not for Bismarck 'requesting' that she be sent too the Japanese ocean FAR away from Europa that she was spared and didn't get sunk. Now finally in the ocean and without contact this is where Collar and Trapz are.<br><br>Sadness People are leaving the group.

				personally I sat through the whole thing just to see where new content could be found and the new content technically starts right at the beginning because they show us some crazy light show AND how Iona came into the possession of the JSDF which was a detail we were never actually given before.<br><br>As for a later portion of the film am I the only one who noticed that they didn't show Kongo destroy the American contingent? that could mean one of two things...<br><br>1. They deemed it an unimportant scene and didn't show it<br>2. They ret-conned it<br><br>honestly I think the first one is more likely but never the less I can hope yeah?<br><br>but as far as new content goes...the Vibration war head was freaking awesome!<br><br>the battle with Hie and the two Nagara class light cruisers was pretty cool too though.....I am kind of disappointed with how that was handled.........<br><br>Finally.....watching Musashi appear just made me super happy....<br><br>Though in my opinion the absolutely best part about this movie is by far the MUSIC holy freaking crap did they go out of their way for some great music.

				Also, in the beginning, if you look carefully in that light show it looks like a Yamato Class Superbattleship was Sinking, and a Woman speaking something that we can't hear. Then I-401 changes course for yokohama. In the Manga, it was Gunzo's father that tells Iona to seek out his son. It didn't appear that way in the Movie.<br><br>Also, the Recap was so hacked up, it reminded me of the Gundam Movies that covered the first War. They left out details that could have made it more understandable. I would not suggest the MOvie to someone that never seen Blue Steel. <br><br>As for the New Content, again, I think it should have been a movie on its own so they could expand on the details. <br><br>I agree with Pend, and Musashi's entrance was awesome! I loved how she "Gracefully" Fell upon her Turret. Though they way the animated her eyes was "Off" in my opinion. It did look like they were closed, but simply non-existent. <br><br>It was wonderful to see Kongo again, (Damn she has nice legs)<br><br>However the best part, in my opinion, was Takao whining how she wanted her Ship form back, and Hyuuga Handing her a scale model. They bickered like an old Married couple ;D<br><br>There was a fair amount of good with the movie, but a lot of bad as well. <br><br>It could have been a Subtitle fluke, but they called Makie a Robot, which she is not. She is a genetically engineered child. and Hiei was relegated to a "Heavy Cruiser".

				well with Hie the subtitles were an interesting case because when she was first introduced the introduction said <br><br>Hie-Kongo Class Battleship II (or something to that effect) and then she introduces herself as a heavy cruiser.<br><br>furthermore regarding musashi's eyes they were animated as closed it's just difficult to tell because her eyelashes are the same color as her hair.<br><br>also there was something that made me raise an eyebrow about the declaration of war and that was Musashi's introduction<br><br>"Hello everyone It's nice to meet you I am Fleet of Fog Super Battleship Musashi. Fleet flagship Yamato wishes to make an announcement. Father" and then Shouzou shows up and speaks and nobody bats an eyelash or asks why it's a man giving the speech and not the mental model of a fog ship.<br><br>Also one thing that is bugging me about the Blue Steel franchise as a whole is how they seem to be just handing out Mirror Ring Systems.<br><br>while it's entry on the Wiki only says that a fog ship has to at least be a battleship to have it...I don't think that they should be using it as liberally as they are (U-2501 and Hie) both having one.

				I don't think you can compare the Anime to the Manga. It seems that they're trying to take it in two completely different directions. <br><br>U-2501 may be a "Special" case since it is a Human crewed Submarine, though I think Zondak is a dick for not letting that cute Mental model out. <br><br>Since Hiei is the Captain of Musashi's Personal Guard, I can understand her having the Mirror Ring system to protect Musashi. <br><br>I think that The Declaration of War is not actually from Yamato, given the opening scene featuring a ship that has similar features to Yamato, and the Girl sinking in the ocean. <br><br>I did see the eyebrows, but the way the model was shaped, Musashi's eye sockets looked like they were sunken in. Like she had no eyeballs.

				I wasn't trying to compare what I was saying is that I think they are just shelling out the mirror ring system for dramatic effects (though I will admit that seeing it animated was really cool) so it kind of ruins what the thing is supposed to be. <br><br>I know that the declaration isn't from Yamato considering that Yamato (Nor Nagato for that Matter) have appeared in the animated adaptation at all and that bit at the beginning did look like a sinking Yamato and she looked like she was questioning why it happened. <br><br>I'm pretty sure it's just you then because her eyes looked fine to me.

				According to the wiki ANY flagship level Battleship could possess the Mirror Ring System. Everything that fallows here is taken directly from the wiki<br><br><br>The Mirror-Ring system is considered the absolute defense used by Fleet of Fog vessels. It is capable of protecting a vessel from virtually any attack made against it. However, unlike the Wave-Force armor, which can take constant attacks, the Mirror-Ring system requires some time before it can be used again.<br>Upon activation, the Mirror-Ring system captures the energy of the attack within two spatial rings. The ship using the system is located within the point where these rings touch each other. Once the energy of the attack is fully absorbed by the rings, the Mirror-Ring system condenses the spatial rings towards a point inside a different dimension. The rings then release the energy in all directions as a powerful shockwave that does not discriminate between allies and enemies. When U-2501 submarine used her Mirror-Ring system, the shockwave broke apart Takao, although she was already battle-damaged.<br><br>While Mirror-Ring system is an ultimate defensive mechanism that can turn the enemies' attacks against them, it places significant stress on the user, at least in the case of its use by U-2501. The U-boat appeared to be under the effect of powerful vibrations that may have caused damage to the submarine itself. Additionally, the ship suffered from weakened sensors, placing it at risk from further attacks.<br><br>Under normal conditions, only flagship-level battleships and superbattleships could possess a Mirror-Ring system. It was discovered that U-2501 also has one, but it is unknown why that is the case. U-2501's possession of a Mirror-Ring system was considered so secretive that Yamato ordered Takao's memories to be locked to prevent the heavy cruiser from recalling the system's use to subdue her.

				Okay, so according to that excerpt, than it is completely reasonable for Hiei to have one since she is a "Flagship", and add to this that she is the Flagship of Musashi's Guard Squadron. So it is even more likely that she would have it. <br><br>Also, as you say, if it was given to all Flagship Battleships, then why did Hyuuga, and Kongo not use it in their fights against I-401?

				I suppose the way I worded my issue with it wrong......<br><br>My issue isn't that she has the Mirror Ring system....my issue is that a feature like this is being given out so freely........I guess in a sense I just don't like how the authors/ script writers are at liberty to use this as a stop gap to make dramatic tension and could potentially become too over used thus making the "Ultimate Defense" value of it go down because the more it is used the more likely it is that it will be made useless by someone figuring out how to force it's use and then take advantage of it's cool down time to easily kill of the character using it.<br><br>As for Hyuuga and Kongou not using it since they are both Flagship Level Battleships well to put it simply I have no idea.

				I can get what you're saying, Pend. And it is a very understandable argument. <br><br>yet, by the wiki article, it says that any Flagship Battleship, or Super battleship "Could" possess it. That does not necessarily mean they "Do" possess it. So far, as far as I can tell. The Mirror Ring has only been seen/used twice. Once in the manga, and once in the Series. As for why U-2501 has it, that is something that I hope the Manga would explain. Even so, Yamato ordered Takao's memories locked after her defeat by it. Probably to keep it secret. And don't forget, it is a double edged sword as well as it destroys friend, and Foe, or at the very least severely damages them. Probably which explains why Hiei had her Cruisers come very close to her. To minimize the damage to them, and use them as a shield while she is weakened.&nbsp; <br><br>So while they have potential to be overly used, So far the Franchise has been scarce on its implementation.

				I have to say that Ishi has a lot of equipment I don't think comes standard on Battleships of the FOG...while I can't say iv'e seen too much in the way of standard alot of that sounds like equipment that submarines would have as implied by both I-400 and I-402.....Iona is a special case since she was modified for combat operations by Gunzo and his crew instead of her original stealth and intelligence operations. <br><br>I'm not saying that you have to get rid of any of it I'm just saying that Ishi sounds more like a submarine in her loadout of equipment and operations.

				Yes, admittedly she is a bit of a misfit. Her original AOO is strategic planning, but when she was assigned to Yamato's group she was given the BB "body" to test out some of her designs while advising fleet operations. At some point she may end up reconfiguring (just not a priority for her at the moment)...not sure what that would look like yet.<br><br>Regarding intelligence gathering in general, the subs definitely have an advantage in this respect, although in their engagements I can't help but feel like they function like a political officer on the old Soviet fleets.

				it is true that the submarines are definitely more like political officers/secret police I won't argue with you on that point of view but I-402 does at one point make it clear that subs are mostly supposed to be intelligence agents or was it I-400? I don't remember it was really early on that that point was made.

				I mentioned in my last post that Ishi was monitoring the Emerald fleet units that were following the Forgotten fleet as well as Aya. I'm hoping that doesn't step on any toes. Ishi is trying to use her tech to keep the fleet safe, not to do stake outs (i.e. If Aya was leaving and coming back she wouldn't be following her). I can write it out with a malfunction, no data, etc if needed as well...<br><br>

				the only thing I'm wondering about Ishi monitoring them is how she's doing it. are there drones? or is it long range radar/sonar? I need to know that way I know how the characters being monitored are able to deal with it if they can or if they can't.

				I'm putting in an update now...the underwater drones look like a school of sharks that is patrolling under the surface monitoring for ships - human or otherwise. So to Aya and Ari it would look like a shark swimming near by. It isn't under orders to do anything but monitor activity - location, weapon status, etc. Not close enough to pick up the conversation. I would image Aya could figure out it was fake if she scanned it since its made out of nano materials. Ishi is trying this vs active sonar because its less obtrusive. She also wants to make contact with Aya at some point, so if Aya starts investigating the bread crumbs will lead to Ishi...<br><br>

				I admit I'm rather stuck on how to have Aya deal with this little device....it seems to work kind of like the wolf packs that U-2501 uses but with a bit more leeway towards the use of decoy mental models as well....and the lack of a need for a secondary processor ship.

				I imagined the ghost ship as originally being a way to clone or back up mm's that were being worked on for extensive repairs, but other uses would have evolved such as cloning for decoys (in this case), transportation of mm's where they needed to remain awake and perhaps not even aware that they were being moved - relocation, detention, or even interrogation: where a mm was cloned and worked on to get at information without harming the original. Although there could be side affects too - a psychic link to the clone by the original, clones reprogrammed as double-agents or assassins, and of course clone rights.

(Keep It Simple Stupid) Method. As far as I know, the origins of the MMs are still a bit of a mystery. So I can say Ishi's Ghost ships could be more advanced Decoys that what Iona uses. A possible addition is if a MM's Hull is beyond a certain damage percentage. they can transfer their Core, albeit Temporarily, to a Ghost ship while their Hull is being restored. This allows for a more complete restoration, and reduces the chances of any issues within the core. <br><br>But this is just my idea.
