Can't say I'm on the Admiral's side but I support his way. Kaga and Akagi are full fleged soldiers and even if it is cruel they have to be able to have the full experience of actual fighting, rather than just being babied.
Houshou here is being unreasonable, runnng in despite her age and not having confidence in her girls. Also, war isn't some fun game. What is the point of having soldiers that can't even fight and survive. We have to weed out the useless from the useful if we are to protect the people.
By killing them? You weed out the useless in basic training. You don't send recruits on suicide missions to see who survives.

If the admiral had been correct in his assessment of Akagi and Kaga's capabilities relative to the anticipated enemy force, you'd have a point. Houshou believes otherwise, and ultimately the higher-ups agreed, especially because it seems this admiral had a history of mismanagement that will come to light as a result of this incident.

Unless, of course, you're the NPC-in-command at the beginning of every military-themed FPS ever. Then that's the tutorial mission.
Then, at least, send rein......If they sink with just this, then that's all how it is. ...N.....Stop right there! Houshou!That too is rejected. Those two are the highly expected First CarDiv, aren't they? There shouldn't be any need.Or what? You don't have the guts to let the operation get carried out?
