Deep Sea Tirpitz has long, smooth silver hair that flows behind her in the sea breeze, each strand shimmering with a dreamlike Crystal clarity under the bright sunlight. She wears a white dress adorned with lace, and beneath the hem, her long legs appear rounded and elongated against the backdrop of white stockings.
Her exquisite and ethereal beauty rivals that of any Fleet Girls, but her blue eyes seem shrouded in a gray mist, giving her a dull and numb expression. If it weren't for the massive dark battleship armor behind her, no one would associate this urban beauty with a Deep Sea Shipgirl.
The armor of Deep Sea Tirpitz resembles an upright sea dragon, with a fierce and fearsome dragon head. Four enormous 406mm main guns protrude from her back, their dark and robust barrels exuding a chilling aura, as if brewing a scent of death.
Several thumb-thick metal chains extend from the sea dragon-shaped armor, weaving through Deep Sea Tirpitz's chest and armpits, binding the two together.
Trailing behind Deep Sea Tirpitz are five Deep Sea Shipgirls. From their armor, it is evident that two are Battleships, two are Heavy Cruisers, and the remaining one is a deep-sea Aircraft Carrier Ship Girl.
However, compared to the fully humanoid Deep Sea Tirpitz, these five Deep Sea Shipgirls appear quite bizarre; some have human heads with fish tails, others have a girl's upper body emerging from a shark-like gaping maw, or possess half-human bodies atop the massive steel sea dragon.
In fact, those Deep Sea Shipgirls that differ significantly from humanoid forms are not true Deep Sea Shipgirls, but should be referred to as Deep Sea Fleet Girls. Only those like Deep Sea Tirpitz can be considered genuine Deep Sea Shipgirls.
Without exception, each Deep Sea Shipgirl is entwined with metal chains. It has been said that if one were to destroy the chains binding a Deep Sea Shipgirl, she could break free from the shackles of resentment and transform into a Fleet Girl.
There are also claims that fully humanoid or near-humanoid Deep Sea Shipgirls, like Tirpitz, have awakened some degree of self-awareness; given enough time, they could autonomously break free from their restraints and similarly become Fleet Girls.
Some even say that true Deep Sea Shipgirls can make certain judgments independently and are not entirely driven by resentment. As long as one communicates appropriately with them, they might escape disaster. According to rumors, when encountering a Deep Sea Shipgirl or a Northern Princess at sea, one should remain calm—neither attempting to flee nor attack—while crouching on the water's surface and holding up a Carrier-Based Aircraft Reppuu. It is said that after taking the Reppuu, the deep-sea girl will let you go. As for those without a Reppuu, they can only leave their fate to chance.
In summary, there are many rumors; however, the most credible is that it is indeed possible for a Deep Sea Shipgirl to break free from the bonds of resentment since countless Fleet Girls emerge from the ocean each year—a fact that cannot be disputed. As for the tale of giving a Reppuu to the northern girl, it is said that the Admiral who did so, along with his Fleet Girls, now has grass three feet high on their graves.
“Deep Sea Tirpitz how did it end up here? Why did you wait so long to call for help?” asked Nelson, the director of the Ming City Garrison Branch.
As a representative dispatched by the Naval Headquarters, Nelson was also the strongest Fleet Girl in the Southwest Theater, which is not subordinate to the Naval Base. It was impossible for Meng Ming not to inform her about such a significant emergency.
Therefore, as soon as she received the distress call from the Southwest Theater Military Commander, Nelson immediately set aside all her work and rushed over, arriving just two minutes later than Meng Ming and his Fleet Girls.
“Director Nelson, we had already sent Walker back to the Naval Base to notify them when we first discovered Deep Sea Tirpitz.”
On the surface of the sea, facing the aggressive demeanor of the director of the Military Police Bureau, the leader among the three Fleet Girls, a Heavy Cruiser Girl, spoke with a harsh tone.
“Hmph! With such a major oversight, you dare to argue. After we repel the Deep Sea Fleet, I will hold your Admiral accountable for negligence.”
“Nelson, don’t think we’re afraid of you just because you’re the director,” said a girl next to the Heavy Cruiser Girl, who could barely be identified as a Light Cruiser Ship Girl due to her damaged ship gear.
“Alright, let’s all keep it down. Wuhai, hurry and take Tianlong and Ryota back to shore,” said Feng Xiang, acting as a mediator.
Since Feng Xiang spoke up, Nelson felt she should give some face, so she refrained from saying anything further. On the other hand, Nelson also understood that the 36th Nearshore Naval Base, responsible for this area of defense, had some responsibility, but they could not be blamed entirely.
It is well known that in facing the Deep Sea Shipgirl, humanity has established three defensive lines along coastal areas. The first line is within sixty to one hundred twenty nautical miles from the coastline, known as the Forward Base. The second line, the Nearshore Naval Base, is mostly located within fifteen to sixty nautical miles from the coast, while the third line is naturally the coastal Land-Based Naval Base.
In theory, each Naval Base on these defensive lines has an obligation to patrol their respective areas. However, in practice, their roles differ.
There is a saying: offense is the best defense! The purpose of the Forward Base is precisely this; almost every day, the Naval Bases stationed at these locations launch offensives against the Deep Sea Shipgirl in an attempt to compress their activity range as much as possible into deeper ocean waters. Therefore, while the Forward Base does send out Fleet Girls to patrol along the first line of defense, it is not considered a major task.
The Nearshore Naval Base located on the second line of defense is specifically tasked with this duty. The Fleet Girls stationed at these Naval Bases are generally divided into three shifts to conduct continuous 24-hour patrols over their assigned areas.
The final nearshore Land-Based Naval Base is responsible for escorting passing ships and eliminating any threats that have slipped through the first two lines of defense.
However, the ocean is fundamentally different from land. It is not simply a matter of wanting to establish a Naval Base wherever one wishes; suitable islands that can support human and Fleet Girls habitation must exist. Therefore, both the Forward Base and the Nearshore Naval Base are distributed very unevenly.
Coincidentally, there are no suitable islands for establishing a Naval Base in the waters directly south of Ming City. The responsibility for patrolling this section of sea falls to Nearshore Naval Base 36, located 80 nautical miles southeast of Ming City, which is the closest base. Thus, when Wuhai and others discovered the Deep Sea Tirpitz 60 nautical miles directly south of Ming City, they immediately ordered Walker to return to the nearest Naval Base to notify the Admiral. This took over an hour, so it is no wonder that people were frustrated. One can only blame the backward technology of this world; even the best wireless walkie-talkies have a maximum communication range of only a few dozen kilometers.
“Lexington, I will take command as flagship; you have no objections, right?” Looking at the Deep Sea Fleet appearing on the distant horizon, Nelson squinted slightly.
Among the present Fleet Girls, only fellow Commodores Lexington and Saratoga were qualified to compete for the flagship position of the Combined Fleet.
“No objections,” Lexington replied lightly. In her previous experiences at other Naval Bases, she had never cared about being the flagship; as long as she held her position as Secretary Ship, that was enough, especially for a temporary Combined Fleet like this one.
“Alright then, let’s set off.” With that, Nelson took the lead towards the direction of the Deep Sea Fleet, closely followed by Andrea Doria and other battleships and battlecruiser shipgirls, while four aircraft carrier shipgirls led by Lexington brought up the rear.
As carrier-based aircraft roared overhead from above the Combined Fleet, a great battle was about to erupt.
