    メリーランドとみんな

    非常感谢大家的期待！得益于大家的投票美舰本-Pacific-Vol.0再刷决定，当然本次再刷会进行一些细节方面的修订。
    美舰本第二册也在展开中请大家多多关注。
    同样本次预定将会赠送会场限定（企业修订版）

    另外，我们会以合作社团[Neighbours]的名义参加6月21号的大阪舰娘event：我、夜戦に突入す!3【獄炎】。在会场上会有全新制作的各类周边商品（徽章，海报等）以及预览版贩售，也请各位多多关注。

    この前のアンケート結果により、アメリカ艦娘本「Pacific vol.01」の再版が決まりました！読者の皆様のご期待に答えるよう、今回は幾つか細かい修正を入れることにしました。第二弾の編集も順調に進んでいますのでご期待ください。なお、今回は会場限定を予約特典としてプレゼント致します。

    それから、日本の合同サークル「Neighbours(ネイバーズ)」名義で6/21のインテックス大阪：我、夜戦に突入す!3【獄炎】に参加致します。会場には幾つかの新規グッズ（缶バッチ、ポスターなど）とお試し版が発売することになりますのでぜひともよろしくお願い致します。

    Thanks for waiting everyone!

    Thank you for everyone's support. Based on your feedback we will begin a second printing run of Pacific vol. 1.

    Pacific vol. 2 will be slowly revealed online over the next few months. Keep an eye out on our usual virtual hangouts, including a centralized hub that'll be coming soon!

    Neighbours, our Japanese collaborators, will be attending Osaka's KanColle convention (我、夜戦に突入す!3【獄炎】) on June 21st. We'll have previews of our upcoming books for distribution and additional goodies such as badges or posters. Hope to see you there!

    Not unlike a certain Japanese battleship in 1943, though at least Arizona died fighting and is better remembered than the other.

    So, being taken down by bombs rather than accident/sabotage qualifies as "dying fighting" even if you don't fire a shot?

    Well, aren't military or police officers who died in bomb attack outside battle without knowing what hits them could be given award for courage too rather than just being thought as one of the many unfortunate victim ?

    At least they died by the enemy, not as bad as troops who earned place in memorial park for heroes after dying in accident caused by engine malfunction during training.

    You know, I think I just realized this, but the hull number on Arizona's riggings is actually incorrect. BB-38 (the one written on the side) belongs to Pennsylvania, her older sister ship, whereas the correct number would be BB-39. Adding error tag.

    Arizona's AA guns didn't get a lot of firing done, because the bomb hit that set off her forward magazine happened no more than six minutes after she finished going to General Quarters, but they were in action before the explosion.
