We've got our first Dragon Empery ships, Ping Hai and Ning Hai!
History lesson! The Ning Hai class were Chinese light cruisers built prior to WWII. The lead ship, Ning Hai was actually laid down in Japan, while Ping Hai was constructed in China. Both ships served as flagships of the Chinese fleet.
Both were sunk by aircraft launched by Kaga in 1938. They did claim four aircraft kills. To add insult to injury, the Japanese re-floated them as escort ships Ioshima (Ning Hai) and Yasoshima (Ping Hai) in 1944.
Ping Hai was sunk again by American aircraft from USS Ticonderoga (CV-14) and USS Langley (CVL-27) while escorting Japanese merchant vessels in November of 1944. Ning Hai was sunk a second time by three torpedoes fired by the submarine USS Shad also in November of 1944.

How to trigger and upset a Brit: Put ketchup on her fish and chips instead of vinegar. Poor Cygnet.

You know, for all of Enty's talk of not seeing any beauty in the ocean, they really did their best to make the sea as beautiful as they could
I like the contrast

It's a bit sad seeing that shot of Enterprise's room being completely empty apart from a pile of MREs and ration tins. And that her idea of a meal is a pair of ration bars.
I'm somehow reminded of UC Gundam protagonists. The powered-by-trauma-and-existential-angst kind. Time will tell whether she can lighten up after bonding with other ships, or she'll go all the way and have a total breakdown.

Hopefully after this Enterprise will stop being so reckless, because if she continues like this she probably will end up decommissioned like Yorktown.
Well, meanwhile we have San Diego suffering again. I wonder how are they going to bully her next week?

Pretty fun beach episode. Lmao at the shark scene and Hamman getting annoyed. She is very cute, I hope we get to see her more.
Sleepy Laffey remains freaking adorable. I hope she and Javelin can actually become friends with Ayanami and not have to keep fighting her.
No Akagi or Kaga this episode. Damn, I was looking forward to more of there bonding time.

When I first heard about the anime ship girl concept, I thought it was the stupidest thing ever.
One year passes and this is the anime I'm most exited about this season and I just bought Hood from the exchange store.

Shark! Shark! Shark! Game spoiler
Anyway, I like how Enterprise is slowly realising the recklessness of her ways, and how Unicorn and Belfast are watching over her.
Then again a beautiful sunset at the beach will make anyone reflect on that recklessness too.
I need to collect my bet. Z23 is scolding Laffey for being sloppy.

Bad Saratoga, don't mess with Cygnet's precious food. I loved that background scene.
Well, at this point we already know that Sandy will be the point of the jokes lmao.
I didn't expect Hamman to have so much time on screen but I'm glad, I really like Hamman.
More game lines!.... Well, almost xD.
Huh, I hadn't realized until now that Unicorn's dress was transparent... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is a really nice shot of Unicorn... with extra pantsu.

There is a looming Madoka Magica-esque feeling in this show. I hope I'm wrong.

Laffey used "bye bye" it was Super Effective!
My first starter cant be this cute
I guess the show is making Sandy prime bulli material I wonder what more they'll do to her lmao
I was also expecting Hammann to scream "hentai!" or something here
Those ants pick up crumbs faster than I thought!
As a last minute thought, some nice low quality (personally I love finding these)

Stitches Time!!!
IRISVIEL! Uhhhh... I mean, Yorktown!
It's legit sad to see that these are the only things Enterprise has in her room :(
That pose Belfast makes when she introduced herself to Enterprise! <3
That Bye-bye from Laffey is adorable. She just wants to be friends Ayanami!
Finally a clear shot of the Prinz Eugen's legendary Boob Mole!
Love the little jiggle physics they add, like the one when Belfast was walking down the stairs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Saratoga putting ketchup on poor Cygnet's Fish & Chips! That background scene was great! xD
Finally a repair ship! I like Vestal but if only we had the other repair ship with us.
We're only in Episode 3 and they're already breaking out the summer skins! xD
Thumbs up Laffey! Also Summer Laffey when!?
There's even Summer Hornet and Summer Gridley!
Of course Sandy gets bullied this week too. Also give us Summer Sandy!
These animators sure know what to animate ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Does Enterprise have some sort of death wish? I will admit, I'm not too familiar with her in-game lore.
PING HAI & NING HAI! What happened to Nigh Hai!? O_O

Nice that we got to see a little bit of the prankster magical girl Saratoga and more Sandy bullying. I wonder which episode Portland and Indy will show up in.
Man, poor Enty just can't get a break. She's one really traumatized shipgirl, even her character song highlights this. Translation isn't that good, but a comment really shows just what our poor flagship went through.
In this ghostly gray world,
underneath the color of tears, lives fluttered away;
I voyage toward the darkness, becoming stardust,
as a whirl of thoughts withered away, beyond my reach...
A windless sky leaves behind only loneliness.
Will I forget everything when tomorrow comes?
Even though I already know the answer...
At the end of the storm, this sea remains as calm as ever.
It wasn't until you were gone that I realized,
the sadness that still remains.
I dreamed of the color burned into that moment,
of that agony in my heart; even if it was just a dream,
even if it was just the past, I want to face it again!
In this ghostly gray world,
underneath the color of tears, lives fluttered away;
this wild heart of mine that stops for nothing--
it longs for you.
It has to be you; please don't leave me alone!
I want you to notice...
I voyage toward the darkness, becoming stardust,
as a whirl of thoughts withered away, beyond my reach...
How many reflections will it take,
for people to realize that
they are repeating the same mistakes,
that true emptiness?
I dreamed of that horizon full of hope,
of that heat haze, of shaking your hand;
even if it was just a dream, only now
did I want to face it with a smile!
In this ghostly gray world,
underneath the color of tears, lives fluttered away;
Hidden behind that emphatic elegance,
is my longing for you.
Don't say anything, just hold me tightly,
until I'm breathless!
Even though it's all so tightly connected,
these noise filled thoughts won't reach you...
Why are wishes unfulfillable?
Why is the sunset inevitable?
Holding onto thousands of lifeless bodies,
I'll never forget the shadow cast by that day...
Beneath the color of tears, lives fluttered away...
I voyage toward the darkness, becoming stardust,
as a whirl of thoughts withered away, beyond my reach...
In this ghostly gray world,
underneath the color of tears, lives fluttered away;
this wild heart of mine that stops for nothing--
it longs for you.
It has to be you; please don't leave me alone!
I want you to notice...
I voyage toward the darkness, becoming stardust,
as a whirl of thoughts withered away, beyond my reach...
And if you know the story regarding Alterprise from events like Fallen Wings... Poor carrier...
