You're making a lot of assumptions there about what rank each ship has. Given WW2's outcome, the admirals and leaders should be the heavy fleet carriers, if weight = rank. Yet Sara wasn't apparently in charge.

It seems to me that the KanColle canon in regards to rank, which Ido-sensei seems to follow, is that the Fleet Girls are rankless and equal. Anyone of them can serve as a fleet flagship or as the Admiral's secretary ship (the deputy commander), all at the discretion of the Admiral. This is, of course, a necessary mechanic of the game where the player has absolute control of everything. Players would complain if they couldn't make their favorite destroyer or submarine waifu a fleet flagship or secretary.

If we go by historical precedents of who served as flagships, then heavy cruisers (like Houston, San Francisco, Indianapolis) served as flagships just as often as battleships and carriers, so absolute size and firepower aren't necessarily the deciding factor of which ship would be flagship. Capitol ships were more likely to serve as flagships because they had the necessary communication equipment and extra space required by the admiral and their staff. I'm sure admirals had some discretion to choose which ship carried their flag. For instance, Admiral Chester Nimitz took command of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl by flying his flag on the submarine USS Grayling. (As an aside, are they ever going to introduce US subs to the KanColle universe? If they ever implement Shinano, they would be remiss not to bring in her sinker, USS Archerfish. Then there is Cavalla, who sank Shoukaku, and other greats like Tang and Wahoo...)

Atlanta herself served as a flagship, under RADM Norman Scott, for a flotilla of destroyers during her final actions at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, so there is a historical precedent for her to be in a command position.

I was commenting on Atlanta's reaction, though.

Like seriously, if you see my original post, you'll see that I was quoting Atlanta's eraction, not Eugen's report.

I read that as "Atlanta's erection". Completely derailed my train of thought.

You're making a lot of assumptions there about what rank each ship has. Given WW2's outcome, the admirals and leaders should be the heavy fleet carriers, if weight = rank. Yet Sara wasn't apparently in charge.

Plus if the Admiral cuts in line for ice cream, while he may theoretically be within his rights to do so, he's not supposed to exercise that authority outside the battlefield.

And in the dorms, Bisko was apparently the Duty Officer. In any situation on the base involving base affairs, the officer on duty is God.

I agree that they share in some of the responsibility and should be punished, but I think their allotted punishment is overkill. I could see them being denied either wine or soccer or singing/dancing... but to be denied all three for a month?

Makes me wonder how Atlanta plans to enforce the ‘No singing/dancing part.’ Actually, I’m wondering how Atlanta plans to enforce all of these punishments on all these girls.

She ain’t omnipotent and omnipresent.

Atlanta's strict military discipline

Hell, for all the trouble the other shipgirls cause, they are very quick to rely on her, which implies considerable trust in her abilities.

At the same time...Biscuit cracked for a reason. She was kind of getting overwhelmed and stepped on in many ways.

She still has a warehouse of umeshu tho. Like the russians, it's all about how to perceive the rules.

I think this is to make the girls want to ease up on Bisko, to avoid a recurrence of the big stick that Atlanta represents.

That is a good point. Perhaps the grass is greener on the German side of the hill. At the least, Atlanta's punishments are much longer in duration than Bismarck's; Iowa was denied bacon for 3 days, not a whole month (post #3589794). But will Bismarck be willing to resume such an abused post? Maybe she and Atlanta could share the duties; I get the feeling they would get along. Atlanta respects military discipline, and her AA skills could keep Ark's pesky Swordfish at bay. ^u^

I could see them being denied either wine or soccer or singing/dancing... but to be denied all three for a month? That is extremely harsh, especially since it seems they chose to remain neutral in the whole affair. Suppose they had decided to try to stop their May-Blues fleetmates... they'd be going against the three most powerful Pasta ships: two battleships and a carrier. They may have been afraid to try to confront or snitch on them.

The fact that things got so out of hand so quickly when Bismark left the scene shows how necessary her and Atlanta's strict military discipline are. But at the same time, I can't see the other ships in the dorm putting up with such harsh discipline for very long; they are likely to collectively revolt. I think a more compromising dorm manager needs to be found. One that can more effectively balance discipline with the hair-brained craziness that is the norm for this dorm. Perhaps Bismark and Atlanta could be the rule enforcers for said manager, whoever she turns out to be. I'm not sure who would be best suited for the job (Warspite maybe?).

I just know the dorm manager should not, under any circumstances, be Gotland. She is very dangerous (on par with a Bond villain) with her hypnotizing abilities and ego-maniacal tendencies (post #3451402). It is very likely that the Zuiunism cult was created entirely by her (post #3485811), seeing how easily she was able to turn off the brainwashing in Richilieu and Teste (post #3893836).

They might not have actively conspired, but considering how big the others went in order to hide their intentions and fool Atlanta, massive decoy ship and what not, it's obvious that the entire dorm had to have a general idea what was going down and chose to ignore things.

Sure, I suppose you could say that they didn't want to be snitches to their fellow country ships, but still, probably should have tried to stop things before they got out of hand.
