Hello everyone,

Welcome to my Kancolle story.

I do not own Kantai Collection or any of its charcters. Except Iowa, all American characters are my design.

However, the story setting and idea is not mine, I took inspiration in one Kancolle fan fic posted on other site (Kantai Collection: A New Force For Good). So the story setting and and how everything works is very similar. You can call it a fan fic of a fan fic. In the original, main character is the Admiral, here however it will be a shipgirl.

Enjoy!

It's a year 2020. Pacific is in war again. But not between USA and Japan, but between humanity itself and so called Abyssals. Humanoid creatures from the depths of the ocean who are highly aggressive. They suddenly appeared and attacked everything in their path. They didn't stop only at ships. Their fleets attacked all major coastal cities. New York, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles and alike. All destroyed in mere hours. No conventional weapons, warships or aircraft could deal with them. They were too small to target by missiles or modern naval guns, and too armored to be damaged by low caliber guns. Humanity was forced to withdraw.

That was until in 2021, Japan started to fight back with their new warships. Or more like living warships. These human looking creatures were to have spirits of warships. Especially those from WW2 era. They have been proved to be extremely effective. They are capable of fighting and damaging Abyssals. Japan called them kanmusu, but the rest of the world knows them as shipgirls.

Japan however didn't want to share how to make them at first. They always said that only they were able to make them. However at the start of the spring in 2022, they invited US Navy selected Admiral to visit them and said that they were willing to help them make their own shipgirls. The selected US Navy admiral for the shipgirl program was Fleet Admiral James Frederick Lee. However he insisted on selecting the Commander of shipgirls. If he would have been at least 20 years younger he wouldn't mind it but because he was already in his late fifties, he thought that he lacks energy and patience for it. After couple of meetings and conferences he was given the right. He selected one of his newly promoted Rear Admirals. One star Rear Admiral Amanda McKay and as her XO, her long time friend Captain Christina Phillips, new captain of USS John Finn (DDG-113).

Once they arrived onboard USS John Finn to Yokosuka, Admiral Takahiro Tamashi welcomed them with a few tall girls behind him. Nagato, Mutsu and Ashigara as they introduced themselves after him. They didn't show any disrespect to them but they knew it was probably because of order that he may had to give them because the base is full of Japanese shipgirls from WW2.

After introductions were over, Tamashi gave them a tour of the base. They were very well prepared for them and their future shipgirls. Three building were under their command. One building with Admiral Office, a few bedrooms and bathroom. The other two buildings were for their shipgirls. Both had about 30 bedrooms, 2 big bathrooms and one small hall. Everything else like mess hall, docks and training spaces were shared. They were also shown where shipgirls come from. One room building with a 2.5m tall steel grey portal with dark blue liquid in it. To start the American shipgirl production, they were asked to touch the liquid in the portal with their dominant hand but since they were two, Tamashi said that the first one who shall touch it, has to be the one who will be in charge of the shipgirls, and then everybody else. Once McKay touched it with her palm, nothing happened. Then Phillips touched it too but the effect was still the same. Tamashi saw their confusion and told them this was normal and that they have to keep them there until something happens. After another couple of seconds the liquid started to make boiling motion and the Americans found out that they can't take their hands off. Ten seconds after the liquid surrounded their ring fingers and placed two skin tight rings with dark blue emeralds on them. Once the stone will have a light color, it indicates that a shipgirl is ready for summon. After that was over and that liquid stopped boiling, they were able to get their hands off it. American flag appeared on the side of the portal under the Japanese one with a number.

Japan: 59/60

USA: 0/60

Japan had already lost one shipgirl, Tamashi told them and that they can only summon 60 shipgirls so far. Now they started the waiting game and it bore first fruits 3 days after. Every 2 weeks, 3-5 shipgirls were summoned. But now, it is only one left and they are waiting month for her already. Once she will be out, they will be able to return to North America and start patrolling their coasts. Who will it be?
