Wait, why did Shoukaku stood in their way? Judging from the previous page, it probably has something to do with Zuikaku since she is currently with Atago and Portland (and the broken commander). Maybe she wants to "protect" Zuikaku since she's the older sister.
Also, that center panel would make an awesome wallpaper (I really love his art style).
Couldn't quite capture the feeling of Shoukaku's badass declaration/war song. If anyone could rephrase it better, then be my guest.
Shoukaku's declaration is a direct quote from a kamikaze pilot. There is another translation here if anyone is interested (it doesn't capture all of what is said in my opinion; Shoukaku says the first 6 lines) http://www.geocities.jp/kamikazes_site_e/isyo/isyobun/ogataiei.htm

People and placeswe feel nostalgic for,we now throw them all away.As we depart now for the sake of our country,our lives for our eternal cause.Here and now,we shall commence our attack.
