So I've heard from my contacts in the PRT... what remains of them anyways, that his court case is going poorly for them. I have honestly never heard of lawyers out right walking out on a case before. On top of that, does any one on have any clue on who that lawyer is? All I got is that he is from new Mexico and utterly tearing the PRT a new one.

I've heard about him before. There was a nasty shootout with some villainous capes in Corpus Cristi a few months ago. All but two of the villains were killed in the ensuing firefight; PRT labeled it as 3rd-degree murder. Saul 'Goodie' Goodman came in and got the PRT for falsifying evidence.

I will be the first to know I don't have the faintest clue about civilian law. I barely know current military law for that matter (not my fault there isn't a Navy academy in Honolulu). But This situation looks to be ua hauʻoli loa. I originally used English, but it was rather rude, so I decided to use Hawaiian instead, as I doubt many speakers are on a Brockton Bay board

Seriously, what and why? I heard thanks to my good friend and fellow student Crystal P, who actually is from Brockton Bay, and still has family there, about the mess that went on there. I wouldn't even wish that on Nagumo or Yamamoto of all peoples. Let alone a teenage girl. Crystal fully agrees with me that this should never have happened. What kind of people are the PRT that they haven't immediately distanced themselves from the perpetrators?

In the unlikely event the perpetrators see the light of day, don't come to Hawaii. I am not sure I could stop myself from firing my main guns. If any Protectorate members there support the PRT stance in the situation, same goes for them.

Like Ari said, that situation was a disgrace. I hope that the perpetrators of the actual crime will have the full weight of the law descend on them. That the books are thrown at them. Literally if necessary. Times like these, I am glad my family has never agreed to join up with the PRT, if this is what the PRT stands for, then hell no.

While I would agree with Yamamoto. Nagumo was a fucking idiot who deserved what he made others perform in his stead, Such as Yamaguchi. Thankfully for history Nagumo never did and his incompetence helped end the war sooner. Also Nagumo was the one who placed his flag on the Carrier that got that bomb off durring the Pearl Harbor raid.

You can just call it as it was. No offense meant, but there is no reason to pussyfoot around December 7th, 1941 when speaking to me. Just don't insult my crew and you'll be fine. It has been nearly 70 years for me. But that's probably not something to discuss here. Better to take it to this thread, In which Crystal P posted a link to my Q&A about the Attack on Pearl Harbor.

I can't speak for others, but Ari is a fellow student with me at the University of Hawaii and I consider her a good friend. I am quite aware that other ships sank as well. My great grandfather was one of the officers that sank with USS Utah, his remains are still onboard. Ari actually went with me, when I went to the USS Utah Memorial last week. Unfortunately, as far as Ari can find out, Utah is currently either too deep asleep or not there. Her hull obviously is, but, her spirit I mean.

So no, I don't forget about the other ships, and yes, I know Utah and Arizona weren't the only ones. It is just that Ari is my friend. I hope this works for you?

Yesterday, my good friend Ari, USS Arizona, had an online Q&A on the Attack on Pearl Harbor with students of the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis. a Q&A that has since been posted on their Youtube account. *Link here*

While I am hardly a military student, I still found it highly interesting, it also gives an excellent example of just how different those like Ari see the world. I highly advise everyone to watch it.

@Crystal P

Llama_the_Hero asked in an unrelated thread about why it's always me people ask about when talking about the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Here are my thought on this. The thing is, from the capital ships sunk on December 7th, Utah and myself are the only ones that were never raised. And from these, Utah was out of the way and no longer an active battleship. I was an active battleship when I sank and my hull was, and remains, in Battleship Row.

Yes, I am aware of Oklahoma, but as her hull was raised in 1946 and then sunk in deeper water on her way to the continent, she's not actually visible for people to see. Utah and I are.

So, in a way, I understand why this is the case. Which is a shame. Oklahoma was a great ship, sure, her puns grew to be quite annoying at times, but she was one of us. I don't remember much from those years, I didn't really wake up until in the fifties, but I do remember that Oklahoma was not really conscious during those years she laid on the bottom at Pearl, I wouldn't be surprised if she was relieved when she went under that final time in 1947

For those asking why I added two of the Iowa sisters, who were after all commissioned long after the attack. Well, and this I heard from talking with the tugs, and the missile destroyers calling Pearl Harbor home, apparently Missouri, by the end of the war and during the decades afterwards, became the Queen of Gossip in the Pacific. A title that in the Interwar had belonged to CV-1 Langley, may she and her brave crewmembers rest in peace.

Anyhow, Missouri and Wisconsin, due to having been active for so long, know most ships that ever sailed for the US Navy. So do Iowa and New Jersey, but I only have their museum accounts, not their own ones. @Missouri do they even have personal accounts?

I hope I haven't been rambling too long, but these were my thoughts. What do you think?

@Llama_the_Hero Yes, we do. You know the monument they built near my hull? I can hear most of what's said over there if I try to listen. On our hulls, which hasn't been relevant for me over the last 70 years, but for the Iowa's to name some, it most certainly is. We are, I was, in essence what the Romans called a Genius Loci. If it happens on our hulls, we know it, most of it in the back of our heads. We don't focus on everything at once. No, we tend not to focus in when our crews are showering or on the toilet (yes, that has been asked, if you are a crewmember on a ship, your virtue is safe). But thing like what Mordai said? We are battleships, part of us is always focussing on our guns. Just like carriers will always keep a focus on their flight decks.

@ Mordai Well, from talking with currently active ships, I can tell you that Iowa is ... well, you might better not visit other museum ships, otherwise Iowa might accuse you of two-timing her youngest sister, just a friendly advise.

She'd know for sure. I mean, Missouri might have become the Gossip Queen of the Pacific after Langley fell. But Texas is rumored to be Missouri's Atlantic counterpart. Admittedly, due to being on the Pacific and having missed the war, apart from the very first day, I don't have first hand knowledge, only those rumors

To all Battleships I was approached by a person saying he was representing a group of tinkers wanting to steal a battleship to turn into a mobile base and attack something (they won't tell me). He kept saying something about Space Battleship Yamato (had to look that up apparently it a earth Alph thing) and since the PRT said they can't do anything for some reason I post this. Hope it helps. From what I was able to get they want ether a Iowa class or USS Texas so be on the look out.

Didn't Georgia activate all of the battleships? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't those tinkers have to be either suicidal or complete and utter idiots who don't realise a battleship that can act, is not something you can steal. Has someone informed the Navy? I doubt they'd want restored battleships fighting off boarding efforts by idiotic tinkers.

That hero is BB-70 Georgia. She's on PHO as well. And she has in fact restored ALL museum battleships. She even did my friend Arizona, granted, Ari was already awake at the time. The thing is, due to the method she used, all of them can now somewhat control their hull. I actually talked to Missouri and Ari half an hour ago about your message. And Missouri assured me that all of them, are more than capable of fighting of parahuman boarders. She also stated that it is unlikely all of these boarders would survive their attempts.

They are battleships, they were made for war. for those tinkers, I have the following advise. Cease your planning, dismantle your tinkertech, and surrender yourself to the nearest navy officer.

would it be possible to hold the wedding in Pearl? I mean, you can simply sail through the Panama canal. But I can't get further than 15 nautical miles from my hull. A beautiful island, crystal clear seas, Hawaii has it all. It would be an excellent wedding venue.

Maybe we should experiment with a destroyer or corvette first? I know Hopper's captain, DDG-70. Not a wedding dress, obviously, but maybe something easier? For science (and photo's we can send to ALL Hopper's sisters, their Kongõ halfsisters too for that matter)
