Well, this technically came out a while ago, just in print instead of online. The book mentioned in the commentary goes from Nagato becoming the Admiral to giving it up at the end.
Depends on the Admiral. Some admirals fight from the front. Togo fought from the lead ship in the column (Battleship Mikasa).
Congratulations on the Admiral job, Nagato.I wanna fight!Cool your jets, Nagato.Oh my...Then I'm gonna quit being the Admiral!There's no way that the Interim Admiral can head to the front lines, right?Okay!
Combined Fleet, Launch!!Follow after me!!However...Interim. Interim Admiral.
And I was kinda half-forced into it, too.A battleship that cannot battle is just a ship.I shall undertake my entrusted duties with aplomb!Nagato, who would give the commands if you were to get hurt?It's not something for the ship commanding at the very top - even for a moment.NOOOOOOO!What? The supreme commander is the one that cuts apart the vanguard to give encouragement to their comrades, right?While that might be well and good for the ship that's commanding on the scene,
