These new abyssals though, god dayum!

Shouldn't it be Lycoris?

That flight deck sure looks... MODERN.

Nimitz-hime?

So the idea that abyssals were sunken or American ships is crumbling?

That flight deck looks rather strange for any kind of ship, but looks more like a airbase + hangars and runways.

Those odd-looking branches sure look like Christmas trees. No, I don't mean the ones you see only once a year.

Actually, it's Henderson Field from Guadalcanal. See the 1943 picture of the airstrips in wikipedia

So what about Airfield Hime? Will she get a new nickname since this Hime is the Henderson Field?

One of Airfield Hime's nicknames among the Japanese fanbase is Lycoris/Licorice Henderson.

Probably Lycoris Hime is her evolved variant.

Side note, she kidna looks like Arpeggio's Kongou.

I hadn't considered Henderson Field since that was, in theory, already taken. Unless Airfield Hime now "Henderson Field, Midway" and Midway Hime is the rest of Midway (sort of what happened in the anime).

Henderson-chan Kai-2, with bigger horns

I thought these two comments were sort of funny in view of the fact that it's literally the real life layout of Henderson '43

Whoa so she changed after a year...

Funnily enough, in a doujin I read Airfield is lovingly referred as Licorice . I find it queer that this is flipped out with the advent of this new princess.

(Out of topic, does anybody know a website in which I can read non-H JAPANESE FAN COMICS without being suspected as a pervert?)

ERROR. DOES NOT COMPUTE.

If you are in luck it may be uploaded to Batoto.

That will work just fine. For starters, it does not have the word "HENTAI" on the link.

Licoris is actually her fleet. Like the real Henderson houses the Cactus Air Force :)

Didn't play the game, but read it before that she's referred as Licorise air force.

I'm pretty sure the "Abyssals are US Navy/Allied Powers" hypothesis was busted to hell and back with the introduction of Iowa, to say nothing about how the very existence of Chi and Re put it on very shaky ground to begin with -- USN had no torpedus cruisers in WWII; and no single vessel in the world has all of Re's abilities (Iowa/Montana-tier main cannons, Midway-tier aircraft, and KTKM-tier torpedus in the form of midget subs)

So if Lycoris Hime was Henderson Field, then post-war she would have become Honiara International Airport. A doujin about her post-war life might be pretty interesting.

It's been dead since the creators threw in the "dark variants" of characters AND putting their boss nodes in the area where a ship in question sank.
