Welp, at least Ark's U-boat sensors are better than Warspite's.
And good thing Ro's here to stop the Swordfish-related Notice Me Senpai moment. Bismarck can't always (unwittingly) depend on Gangut making the annoying ships (Iowa, Warspite, and recently, the Italians) on their edges to keep them off her back.

Did you think so? even Gangut is there but those italians still cause her troubles like always (or more for some reason).
leave Bismark alone Ark, she's not hurting anyone, even you
Tell that to the poor Italians who were forced to go back to work instead of vacationing their usual 190 days of the year! (Or the walls she drove Tigers through...)
If they have any sense at all, Littorio and Roma are going to want to get along really, really well with Ark Royal.

Wow, Ark Royal actually recognised THE ONE THING THAT WARSPITE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL THIS TIME.
To be fair, Ark Royal was the first carrier to sink a U-boat (from dangerously close proximity, at that - she had to dodge return fire torpedoes).

This is actually based off her hourly lines in the game, where she's trying to greet Bismarck:
"It's 2. Isn't that... Isn't that Bismarck? Did she join us here on this sea too? She's an ally! Oi, Oiii~! Ah, why's she running away!? Wait!" "It's 3. Oi Bismarck, why are you running away? I got no choice, Swordfish squadron, take off! Stop her in her tracks! Go!" "It's 4. She got away this time. That Bismarck, having her escorts covering her with CAP planes... how rude... Well, I guess it's fine anyway."
Basically, yes, although she eventually failed on one of them. (Or rather, had no warning torpedoes were coming, thanks to sonar operators being lazy.)

so that's why she's running away...no wonder her memories being bombed by her Swordfish planes still lingers

Wow. Seriously?
Guess Bismarck will never let the Graf away from her, now.
Ok I've just started rereading the series again because it has some new content but somehow there are some changes in the pool?
This part was suppose to be after Bismarck thought it was all a dream. Same with the previous pages where it shows Ark Royal was confined in the hospital.
Or is this how it really went? Kinda confusing actually.
EDIT: I just read the post where Bismarck dreamt of Ark Royal and saw the commentaries (missed this) that Ido didn't post that part chronologically, my bad.

Ido is currently uploading significant parts from his c94 "Also sprach Ark Royal" doujin. Unlike past releases this one actually changes up the storyline quite a bit compared to the web series version (with major plotline changes involving the Abyssals). You could consider it a retcon, but Ido seems to consider it as a parallel storyline that just happens to start and end at the same points.
