Delicious midriff, really tempted to just keep her damaged all day-

*is shot*

Her pose was even seductive as well, as like she is offering herself for... "Repairs"

Anyone notice the little, little boat on the left side? Someone pull up Hatsuzuki's operational history.

She is part of Cape Engano force where she is sunk from aerial attacks. The little boat represents some of her crew escaping.

So while the fairies escape they have the turrets manning the AA guns...

Manly turrets.

Best turrets.

I want to imagine sudden ducky's chou-10cm-hou-chans as the steely eyed cigar-chomping type. Like they give Hatsuzuki tons of shit but it's all tough love.

Noticed in a comment on the KC wikia:

From "Combined Fleet.com":[www.combinedfleet.com/Zuikak.htm]:

Note 5: Many accounts imply that the destroyers rescuing Zuikaku's survivors were all sunk; however, this is inaccurate. The main rescuers were Kuwa and Wakatsuki. The Hatsuzuki - the destroyer sunk subsequently - had begun rescue, but when a fifth attack began took up AA guard duty during much of the rescue. She made a gallant fight to the finish that enabled Isuzu , Wakatsuki, and Kuwa to escape. Hatsuzuki had taken some survivors aboard, however, and these were indeed lost with all the destroyer's crew, except for 17 Zuikaku and eight of the destroyer's crew in a boat which made their way to Luzon by 14 November, having been providentially cast off when Hatsuzuki got underway to engage the enemy.

Damn. That's a textbook heroic death. Also explains why her guns are lit up in her damage pose.

Delicious as this image is, I can't help but want to destroy whoever tore her beutyfull pantyhose apart.
