[Title Not Legible]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy I get one of these!

So! You know the saying, “All Shipgirls Are Created Equal,” right?

Wellllllllllllllllllllll. I’m not surprised if you haven’t heard of that one. I came up with it just now. Aren’t I so clever, haha!

Um. Okay. Well, truth be told, not all shipgirls are created equal. Some of us are a lot better at some stuff than some others. Some of us are really good at shooting stuff and picking out a target on the fly. Some of us can’t hit the broad side of a barn without significant assistance.

You can guess which side of that particular spectrum I’m at, hahaha…

Anyways, we’ve got a bit of that Rifleman’s Creed there. Don’t get me wrong. Every shipgirl can fight. We’re all pretty good at it (in theory). Even I’ve managed to score dozens of solo mission kills and I’m flatly one of the worst shots in STEC.

But, you know, there’s a lot of jobs to be done. So, when there aren’t Abyssals to be fought and I’m not practicing or training, I’m volunteering my time to the finer arts of writing! Most of these days I write borderline scandalous romance fiction centered around my friends. When I get tired of this stuff, though, I head down to STEC’s informational warfare section down in Intelligence to help out.

I think they like me a whole lot! I mean, I notice whenever I show up, the little guys scramble to get everyone in charge involved to make sure there’s something I could do. Nowadays, though, we’re involved in some pretty big research projects of public opinion. So, instead of writing fun stuff, I’m mostly stuck writing boring but practical briefs instead.

[Historical Inspirations] Cuisine of the U.S. Navy – Cod Balls

Hi everyone! Tautog here again. I’m actually, technically, um, not a part of the Navy Foods book. But, well, Pacific’s about shipgirls and shipgirls doing usually cute things and America and –

Yawn Yeah you can tell I just got out of bed. Blurgh! Focus, Tautog, focus!

Okay. So, as we work on organization and translation and all that fun stuff, we also want to write about new stuff. As I’ve said before, Morgane’s Navy Food articles have been written on and off pretty much since Pacific’s started. It’s mostly historical and contextual – we thought about maybe attaching a particular shipgirl to each recipe, but then thought it’d be kind of gimmicky.

Not to mention, it would force people into stereotypes. Take today’s article for instance. A shipgirl with her roots in the New England area would be familiar with the thing we’re talking about. Whether or not she likes it might be another story.

Same thing with the Navy. Historically, not every recipe is well-received. Some, in fact, are polarizing. Cod happens to be one of these. Let’s take a look.

Site Reorganization II: Lore & Timeline Pages

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note here. We’ve started and organized the site’s content and basically consolidated them into two pages. While these aren’t everything we’ve done, it should be a good part to get started if you’re interested in digging a bit deeper.

The lore page is organized by content category. The timeline page arranges events by chronology. They’re also added to the drop-down menus for easy access.

As I mentioned before, we get pretty busy around this time of the year. Still, we’re just moving things along, so thank you for dropping by. 🙂
