Of course Enterprise made the Star Trek reference. Of course.

This is their Kobayashi maru!

What's the proper English translation for the German phrase "Ins Fettnäpfchen treten"? Because that's what the Commander just did!

And Bismarck was right: The Swordfish was a biplane.

Gotta wonder if there was any time in the AL setting where conventionally developed 21st century weapons were soundly trounced by Clarkes' 3rd Pixie Dust-powered museum pieces until they were convinced to just let the girls play their wargames.

Step into the grease bowl Open mouth, insert foot.

Or similar turns of phrases like "to put one's foot into [something]", or "to drop a brick/clanger" (British English only).

If this goes how I think it is going to go then i will be quite impressed if they can pull it off

Well the historical USS Enterprise survived so much during the war. She earned a lot from those 20 battle stars.

But her legacy via Star Trek has given her another line of references. Both via the likes of Kirk (No Win Scenario) and Picard (History never forgets the name Enterprise). Let us see how Akagi-chan vs Amagi-chan works out.

Also with Akagi in her original commissioned fit, she's got her eight inch twin turrets, so she could get all up close and personal with some modern US destroyers that have basically only five inch guns and are not armored for eight inch HE rounds.

Hmmm, what does Akagi-chan have in mind here?
