Belated Battleships (second thread, third) is a KanColle fan-fiction written by theJMPer.Sufficient Velocity link Here. Archive of Our Own.The Abyssal War has been raging, but the US Navy hasn't managed to summon any of the spirits of her past warships. Their latest attempt strives to summon the shipgirl of the battleship USS New Jersey, only for the ceremony to be interrupted and the ship sunk by an Abyssal surprise attack. Thinking that the summoning failed, English literature professor Arthur Crowning, one of the guests at the ceremony, heads to a nearby diner to console himself with apple pie. Then a six-foot-four blonde woman sits down next to him....Belated Battleships is a story of a world where America struggles to find a way to support itself and its allies against an ever-growing Abyssal Threat, but cannot summon a single ship until the Iowa-Class BB-62 New Jersey comes back. What follows is a combination of battle scenes, examination of issues in a post-Abyssal world, and slice-of-life storytelling as the United States takes its first steps back into the ocean, loyal shipgirls at their side.Unfortunately, in March 2019, the fic was declared Dead. A Fan Remake by CompassJimbo/LostJman, Rebooted Battleships (SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity), followed, but also petered out in November 2019.See also The Iron Dynasty (SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity), which appears to be a spinoff set in a Bad Future. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Most of the naval characters. They're shipgirls after all. Crowning's the only one who's been consistently able to see the obvious solution, because naval doctrine isn't hardwired into his brain. As an example, when Heermann is badly damaged, the naval personnel and Jersey start making preparations to tow her (and worry about whether she'd capsize while towing). It's Crowning who suggests Jersey simply carry Heermann, since they're both girls. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: This is the reason why, despite Musashi being one of the most powerful and famous ships in the Japanese Fleet, she's kept sidelined for much of the Abyssal War up until now. While she is extremely powerful, her anti-air capabilities are terrible, repair times for Japanese ships stretch into weeks, and it takes so many supplies to keep her fully stocked that the resource-strapped nation can't have her going out on patrol regularly. Even worse, she (as a Yamato-class ship) is a symbol of pride for the Japanese, so if she was ever sunk, it would be a gigantic loss in terms of morale. | |

Cool, but Inefficient | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_2cb9b1a9 | comment |
Cool, but Inefficient: The Arizona is back! Great, right? Wrong. Arizona is much slower than other comparable ships, and was sunk before she had fired a single shot in battle in Pearl Harbor. She has no combat experience and is practically a sitting duck for Abyssal targets. In the one battle she fought in the war thus far, she was heavily damaged while sinking none of the enemy. Were it not for the intervention of a Japanese ship and a previously-unknown American shipgirl, she would have been destroyed. | |

Fighter-Launching Sequence: Only one so far, and for only a single ship, but when it's USS New Jersey, one of the most powerful battleships ever put to sea, and the deck-crew are using handling procedures based on carrier flight-deck choreography? The result is a launch-scene that is little short of epic. | |

Fish out of Temporal Water | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_4acee1ed | comment |
Fish out of Temporal Water: All the ship girls are this at first, but as the focus is on the American ships (and they are so new) they tend to get highlighted the most. Jersey assumes that things like Skype Calls have to be arranged beforehand, because of the massive amounts of data involved. American shipgirls have thus far proven somewhat suspicious of cell phones. In a case of playing it straight and playing it very serious, some of the Taffy 3 go crying to Jersey because they think that, by hogging the computer, they've driven one of the Japanese ships to suicide. It was a simple misunderstanding; not knowing of the existence of "Sudoku," a numeric puzzle game, and confusing it with "Seppuku," ritualistic Japanese suicide. Some of the girls are shown as having problems working alongside... well, some of the girls who had previously killed them. Albacore, having thought that the Japanese were playing a trick on the Americans, hid from the people she was supposed to be helping, only showing herself when Arizona was put in danger. The Taffies proved immensely suspicious of the Japanese when they showed up, thinking that them being peaceful was a trick (coupled with some rather racist language, which, while common for the time, is not appropriate in the modern day). Heerman and Jersey, having survived the war, have to point out that if it is a trick, it's one that's been going on for sixty years. Pennsylvania's worse than the Taffies were. War's been over for 70 years? She doesn't care. Those that died in the war were avenged many times over? She doesn't care. As far as she's concerned, the Japanese shipgirls are just waiting for the opportunity to knife them in the back, and she said as much to Jane Richardson, in front of (and referring to) Shinano. And, unfortunately for Pennsy, in front of Jersey as well. | |

On a shopping excursion to downtown Japan with Kirishima, Jersey's confused why everyone seems to be staring at her, since her outfit is so much more mundane than Kirishima's miko outfit. It never dawns on her that at six-four, she's literally head and shoulders above everyone else. | |

Third Line, Some Waiting: There is a main plotline starring Jersey, Crowning, and the inhabitants of Everett and Yokosuka, a B-plot mostly written by Old Iron starring Mutsu, RADM Richardson, and the inhabitants of Sasebo that sometimes interlinks with the A-plot, and a C-plot of shenanigans from the US Gulf Coast that has mostly been fodder for questionably-canon side-stories. | |

We Have Reserves | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_61c683d2 | comment |
We Have Reserves: Averted. Despite having a near-ridiculous number of ships in WW2 (as the author pointed out, the US had 24 Essex-class carriers during the conflict – more than the total number of ships summoned back by America even after the Summoning Mysteries are mostly solved), the US Navy has had no success summoning shipgirls until Jersey showed up. Figuring out why takes up a good portion of the early story, and continues to be a problem even later on, as summoning shipgirls is not an exact science. | |

Magic A Is Magic A | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_6c3d1777 | comment |
Magic A Is Magic A: Averted and played straight. The summoning rituals for England and Japan are pretty much the same, but never got as much as a rowboat when the ceremony was tried for the United States. Played straight in that it is possible to summon up shipgirls for the United States (obviously), it just requires different resources, stimuli, and motivation, while still being basically the same end result. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Jersey is haunted by the Battle Off Samar, a historical naval engagement where a cluster of destroyers, destroyer escorts, and escort carriers fought off the might of the Japanese Center Force. Jersey was close enough to have rendered aid, but her Admiral at the time kept her back after he misinterpreted a question from Admiral Nimitz as a damming statement. From Bad to Worse: She didn't come back as a shipgirl until numerous summoning attempts failed, which only intensified her guilt. She also blames herself for the injuries Heermann received. While not mentioned as often, she does feel minor guilt that Victory was on board her boat-body when it was destroyed, killing the shipgirl in the process. | |

Eagleland: Something of a mixed portrayal. Jersey is brash, loud, unabashedly patriotic, and kind of a jerk but also courageous, fiercely loyal, and takes offense to the idea that she wouldn't fight to honor America's obligations to its allies. | |

Grid Puzzle | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_9108b2c9 | comment |
In a case of playing it straight and playing it very serious, some of the Taffy 3 go crying to Jersey because they think that, by hogging the computer, they've driven one of the Japanese ships to suicide. It was a simple misunderstanding; not knowing of the existence of "Sudoku," a numeric puzzle game, and confusing it with "Seppuku," ritualistic Japanese suicide. | |

Shout-Out: In chapter 33a, Crowning encounters a painting of Jersey that is suspiciously reminiscent of the Pacific: World War II U.S. Navy Shipgirls rendition. In "Deus Ex Machina", Jersey sees Crowning has a book written by a Daniel Ja-. In "Priesdesses", one of the waitresses in the diner they go to is a Kongou sort-of cosplayer. Sort-of, because she wears a Royal Navy uniform and calls herself "Indestructible". | |

Everyone Can See It: There is no ship girl who doesn't make fun of Jersey for her being totally-not-attracted-why-would-you-think-that to Professor Crowning. Crowning at least admits that he likes her, just not to Jersey's face. Wash and Gale. They clearly like each other, but Wash, being a forty-thousand ton battleship, has no social skills to speak of, and her sheer presence and perfection intimidates Gale (not to mention the ability to eat mountains of food and not gain an ounce). | |

Clothing Damage | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_e61d9a3c | comment |
Clothing Damage: Japanese ships show damage differently than American ships. Because blood is somewhat of a taboo for England and Japan (while sex is not as great of one), damage their ships take is represented by how badly damaged their clothing is, while leaving the girl underneath relatively unscathed. Americans have nearly the opposite priorities, with modesty being much more important and blood being much more acceptable, and their shipgirls show damage thusly. The first time that Jersey goes out on a convoy run, she loses an eye, gets severely burned, and covered in wounds, horrifying the Japanese ships that see her... but her modesty is intact. | |

A-Cup Angst | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_e621b159 | comment |
A-Cup Angst: Infamously flat-chested Ryuujou gets hit the hardest. But Jersey suffers from it as well, merely because she's not as ridiculously stacked as her Japanese compatriots. This becomes Hilarious in Hindsight after her remodel comes with a cup size increase. Inverted with Musashi when it comes to Jersey. While Jersey has generous cleavage, it's nothing compared to the chest size of some of the Japanese ships... but even other, more top-heavy ships are jealous of Jersey's other attributes. While some of the Japanese ships have much larger breasts, it's noted that American ships tend to be bustier than those ships of equivalent classes... to the irritation of some of the smaller Japanese ships. | |

Accidental Truth | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_e784bb8c | comment |
Accidental Truth: A piece of art in Jane's Fighting Shipgirls speculated that Jersey would look like a beauty queen, which initially appears hilariously off the mark. Then returning American shipgirls start calling her beauty queen without ever having laid eyes on said artwork... | |

| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In "Old Iron Writeup 7", Arizona recognizes something's up when Hiei's mood darkens and she refers to her by full rank and name. In chapter 34, Naka freaks when she realizes the implications of Jersey being not just awake but coherent at 5:00am. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Various things both comedic and dramatic, including but not limited to thinking that a desire to build models is a sign of pregnancy or taking pride in Dying Alone, demonstrate that although shipgirls look human, they're not truly human in mindset. | |

Pennsylvania's worse than the Taffies were. War's been over for 70 years? She doesn't care. Those that died in the war were avenged many times over? She doesn't care. As far as she's concerned, the Japanese shipgirls are just waiting for the opportunity to knife them in the back, and she said as much to Jane Richardson, in front of (and referring to) Shinano. And, unfortunately for Pennsy, in front of Jersey as well. | |

Crossover: USS San Francisco makes a cameo appearance in Changing Destiny Likewise, Changing Destiny is a book series in-universe. At least a couple of the shipgirls (and Crowning) read it. Alaska met the author of the series while on her first date. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: The Battle of Juan De Fuca isn't going well — just one Kanmusu and two modern destroyers against multiple Abyssals, with a slow-moving convoy in danger. And then comes Jersey moving in at full flank speed, blasting the AC/DC song "Thunderstruck" over her radio and within seconds of her getting in range, an Abyssal ship has been reduced to a cloud of flaming shrapnel. Things go downhill for the Abyssals rather quickly after that. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: One of the reasons why America's summoning rituals failed so much initially is because how this is actually averted for them. Despite how many ships they have, they're initially confused as to why Japan and England have such an easy time summoning spirits of ships, until they realize that the Abyssals, as an ocean-going threat, are direct threats to the tiny, resource-starved island nations. It really is their darkest hour... but America, which sits on a massive continent with plenty of resources, isn't in the middle of its darkest hour. If they wanted, they could turtle up and be totally fine. This means that American ship spirits don't feel the pressing urge to come back from their well-deserved rests, since America isn't being threatened like other, more densely-populated ship spirit nations are. Once they realize this, they change the summoning ritual accordingly and start to get real successes. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: On a shopping excursion to downtown Japan with Kirishima, Jersey's confused why everyone seems to be staring at her, since her outfit is so much more mundane than Kirishima's miko outfit. It never dawns on her that at six-four, she's literally head and shoulders above everyone else. It happens again when Jersey and Shinano go to Akihabara. Jersey's wondering how the waitress from a local tea shop knew who they were, but she's a 6'4" blonde American woman wearing a "USS New Jersey" ball cap standing next to Japan's latest hero. | |

Friendly Rivalry | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_fbd5fda1 | comment |
Friendly Rivalry: Jersey has one with Musashi, referencing the real-life debates over which class of ship was superior, Yamato-class (such as Musashi) or Iowa-class (such as Jersey). Both have points – Musashi's guns are bigger and her armor is thicker, but Jersey has better fire control, radar, and damage repair abilities. And then there's... other reasons why they're jealous of one another. | |

Lady of War | |
| Belated Battleships (Fanfic) / int_fe48cea2 | comment |
And then averted, hilariously, with New Jersey. Japanese shipgirls, hearing about an American "Fast Battleship", think that she'll be a Lady of War like their battleships are. What they get is a foul-mouthed, angry, blunt ship woman covered in blood. Oddly enough, Akatsuki still claims that Jersey – despite all of her flaws – is still a Lady of War, just of a different kind, since even though Jersey is, well, Jersey, she still goes out of her way to make sure that those under her command are cared for and are supported in battle. | |
