Interesting idea that when a ship "dies" in the real world her spirit continues on into the kancolle world. Admittedly the kancolle added in doesn't really add much, as even without it the story works about the same. It does greatly widen the demographic though.

On March 2, 1942, Ikazuchi rescued 442 survivors from the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Encounter (H10) and United States Navy destroyer USS Pope (DD-225). These ships had been sunk the previous day in the Second Battle of the Java Sea, along with HMS Exeter (68), in the Java Sea between Java and Borneo, off Surabaya. The survivors had been adrift for some 20 hours, in rafts and lifejackets or clinging to floats, many coated in oil and unable to see. Among the rescued was Sir Sam Falle, later a British diplomat. This humanitarian decision by Lieutenant Commander Shunsaku Kudō placed Ikazuchi at risk of submarine attack, and interfered with her fighting ability due to the sheer numbers of rescued sailors. The action was later the subject of a book and a 2007 TV programme.

this is a great doujin, but i can't help but notice how kancolle(both game, doujins and fanart) mentions repeatedly the noble actions of the crews of ikazuchi and inazuma(also being represented in their behavior as well), but there is no mention of the warcrimes of the crews of i-8 , makigumo and others at all, not even in random fanart, but there is quite a few showing americans in a rather poor light.

i'm honestly interested to see if any doujin circle will have the balls to touch the crap the japanese did during WW2 eventually, especially since this is reaching touhou levels of popularity, it ought to attract more and more people.

it can even be used as an explanation of why the abyssal ships exist in kancolle, it could be presented as "their sins" coming to bite them in the ass so to speak.

also i'm sorry for the long rant, if it bothers anyone.

I hope more people scan KanColle doujins like this. It's a nice break from the Shimakzae sex fests (not to say I dislike them, but they're plenty). Stuff like this doujin makes me like KanColle more tbh.

@AncientPhoenix Japan is notorious about whitewashing their bad deeds during history, so I doubt anyone would touch on stuff like that unless they want backlash from their peers. But who knows really.

For me I interpreted this Kancolle world as being in the distant future. This seems much more likely as in the final page, they show a photograph which seems to hint that the current Admiral is a descendant of the previous Admiral of Ikazuchi

Shame such a heroic act by Kudo was regarded as "atypical" or "traitorous" by the Japanese themselves at the time.

Just how common was IJN/IJA's brutality towards prisoners? So much that this incident is considered not normal during that time?

For people that still read this, here's a documentary video about this
