Even worse, Assam is a third year.

Hm... Let's just say the game love you four so much that there are constant change for your outfit.

Does Atlanta even have proof that all the Italian girls knew? Pola, the destroyers, and Luigi (sub) I can imagine being in on it, but Zara, G.G., and Luigi (CL) seem to be pretty straight shooters who wouldn’t be filled in because they might intervene.

Also, does this count as collective punishment, which is a violation of the Geneva Convention?

It seems far more prudent to reward the remaining Italian girls for staying, rather then punishing them for not stopping the schemes of those who fled. Especially since “scheming to escape for vacation” is the usual order of business for the Italian’s.

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.

GCIV Article 33 does not apply to allied combatants. Because they don't count as "protected persons", as defined under GCIV Article 4. Because they are well, combatants, because they aren't under custody (or living in an occupied zone), and because their respective nations are allied with presumably normal diplomatic relations.

The article is intended to protect civilians who got caught in a war zone (undeclared or otherwise) or are occupied by a foreign (and hostile to their country) power. As well as other non-combatants, and combatants who are rendered unable to fight (wounded, PoWs, etc.). Soldiers who get seconded to an allied army don't get these protections.

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? 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).

This is... absolutely amazing. I really want an anime of this now, kind of, because... it's just impressive.

Well Yostar created their own studio and are making Azur lane slow ahead later this year. Maybe we will see a Arknights anime in the future soon
