[00:20] Narrator
    Just a little while in the past,
[00:23] Narrator
    or maybe, a short while in the future...
[00:26] Narrator
    A terrible war was taking place at sea
[00:30] Narrator
    between strange enemies called "Abyssals"
    that came from beneath the waves,
[00:36] Narrator
    and the ones that opposed
    them, the Fleet Girls,
[00:43] Narrator
    within whom dwelled the souls of ships.
[00:48] Narrator
    At first, it seemed as though the Fleet Girls
    would claim an easy victory.
[00:56] Narrator
    But the enemy came in unstoppable numbers.
[01:00] Narrator
    The girls were wounded, and fell.
[01:04] Narrator
    The tide of battle turned against them.
[01:08] Narrator
    And then...
[01:13] Ryuuhou
    Shigure, thanks. You must be exhausted.
[01:16] Ryuuhou
    We should be safe this far
    from the enemy.
[01:19] Shigure
    Yeah. But I...
[01:27] Shigure
    Enemy planes?! North-northwest!
[01:31] Shigure
    Preparing for AA combat!
[01:33] Present
    Ryuuhou, current speed at 18 knots!
    Engine damaged! Turning starboard!
[01:37] Present
    Shigure!
[01:38] Shigure
    Shigure, engines to full.
[01:49] Shigure
    Please hit!
[01:52] Shigure
    Confirmed kill.
[01:54] Shigure
    Loading next round.
[01:55] Shigure
    Machine guns, open fire!
[01:57] Shigure
    Two more to the rear?
[02:02] Shigure
    One down!
[02:03] Shigure
    The rear two are getting closer!
[02:06] Shigure
    Damn it!
[02:08] Shigure
    They made it past me?
[02:09] Shigure
    Ryuuhou!
[02:16] Shigure
    Go down, damn it!
[02:19] Shigure
    Wait! Don't go!
[02:28] Shigure
    Okay, next is...

[08:58] Mogami

    This is the spot!

    Mogami-class aviation cruiser, Mogami.
[09:29] Shigure
    Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Shigure.
[09:32] Yamashiro/Fusou
    Come in.
[09:33] Mogami/Shigure
    Excuse us.
[09:36] Yamashiro
    You're late! Where have you been?!
[09:40] Shigure
    Sorry, Yamashiro. I...
[09:42] Yamashiro
    Shigure, I don't need excuses.
[09:44] Yamashiro
    You're always like this!
[09:46] Yamashiro
    Listen up, we're—
[09:48] Fusou
    Yamashiro, that's enough.
[09:51] Fusou
    From now on, we're in the same
    fleet. We'll be comrades.
[09:57] Yamashiro
    Sister!
[09:58] Yamashiro
    It's important to set
    the right tone from the start!
[10:01] Yamashiro
    I can't have a mere destroyer thinking
    it's okay to disrespect me!
[10:04] Yamashiro
    I'm this fleet's flagship, and I have
    a responsibility to you, too, Sister.
[10:08] Yamashiro
    You do understand the situation
    the fleet's in, right?!
[10:12] Fusou
    Yamashiro...
[10:13] Mogami
    Now, now...
[10:14] Yamashiro
    What was that, you useless half-cruiser?!
[10:17] Mogami
    What did you call me?!
[10:18] Yamashiro
    And you, Shigure!
[10:20] Yamashiro
    You're always spacing out like that,
    which is exactly why you're all alone!
[10:23] Yamashiro
    You're the only one left out of
    the 27th Destroyer Division, right?
[10:28] Yamashiro
    W-What? Got a problem?
[10:31] Yamashiro
    I... I'm the flagship here!
[10:35] Michishio
    Oh, jeez...
[10:37] Michishio
    This fleet's a mess, and
    we haven't even set sail yet.
[10:42] Yamagumo
    That sure is a problem.
[10:45] Asagumo
    Well, Miss Flagship, care to elaborate on
    what you meant by "a mere destroyer"?
[10:49] Asagumo
    Explain.
[10:52] Yamashiro
    Well, I didn't mean...
[10:54] Mogami
    Yamashiro, you might call me
    a half-cruiser, but actually...
[10:58] Michishio
    This is a waste of time.
[10:59] Asagumo
    Explain yourself, c'mon!
[11:01] Yamashiro
    Um, I...
[11:02] Asagumo
    I said explain.
[11:06] Mogami
    You see, my flight deck is...
[11:08] Shigure
    Yamashiro, everyone.
[11:11] Shigure
    Why don't we have tea?
[11:13] Shigure
    I brought mikan oranges.
[11:26] Ashigara
    What's going on here?
[11:27] Ashigara
    We're setting sail earlier than
    the original plan called for?
[11:30] Nachi
    That's right.
[11:31] Ashigara
    No one told me that!
[11:33] Nachi
    Here, drink.
[11:34] Nachi
    I got word via encrypted message
    from Yamashiro in Lingga.
[11:37] Nachi
    This is the new plan.
[11:39] Ashigara
    Okay... Thanks.
[11:45] Ashigara
    So, what's the Admiral say?
[11:53] Shigure
    Yamashiro, I'll put your tea
    and mikan orange here.
[11:58] Yamashiro
    I'm so unlucky...
[12:11] Michishio
    This is actually pretty good.
[12:13] Yamagumo
    Wow!
[12:13] Asagumo
    One more time! Do it one more time!
[12:17] Fusou
    Shigure, thanks for your help back there.
[12:20] Fusou
    For helping Yamashiro.
[12:22] Shigure
    No, I didn't do anything...
[12:25] Shigure
    We're 1st Striking Force, 3rd Section.
[12:37] Yamashiro
    I'm so unlucky...
[12:40] Fusou
    Our fleet designation is 1YB3H.
[12:46] Fusou
    This mission will likely be
    1YB3H's first, and last.
[12:56] Shigure
    Why?
[12:57] Fusou
    Shigure, the enemy...
    The enemy is very strong.
[13:01] Fusou
    Please protect everyone,
    Yamashiro especially.
[13:05] Shigure
    Of course... Of course I will.
[13:07] Shigure
    But why is this our last mission?
[13:11] Fusou
    Shigure, that's because...
[13:15] Fusou
    That's because...
[13:18] Yamashiro
    It's because...
[13:20] Yamashiro
    We're actually a diversionary fleet.
[13:25] Yamashiro
    Listen to me, Shigure.
[13:27] Yamashiro
    We, 1YB3H, are a bunch
    of useless failures,
[13:32] Yamashiro
    brought together for a diversion
    that's a suicide mission!
[13:52] Shigure
    Failures... brought together for a diversion?
[13:55] Yamashiro
    That's right.
[13:56] Shigure
    No... a suicide mission?
[13:59] Fusou
    Yamashiro.
[14:01] Yamashiro
    Still, I won't let us get wiped out.
[14:04] Yamashiro
    Don't worry, Sister.
[14:06] Yamashiro
    As flagship, I'll work with the admiral
    to get prepared as best I can.
[14:10] Yamashiro
    Don't worry. They're our admiral.
    They've always been with us.
[14:15] Yamashiro
    I won't let the others
    call us useless failures!
[14:18] Yamashiro
    We're Battleship Division 2—
[14:20] Fusou
    We're 1st Striking Force,
     3rd Section, Yamashiro.
[14:28] Yamashiro
    That's right. We, 1YB3H...
[14:33] Shigure
    We won't sink.
[14:36] Shigure
    We'll come back safe.
[14:40] Yamashiro
    Shigure.
[14:47] Yamashiro
    You bratty little girl.
[14:51] Asagumo
    And when I've done what I set out to do,
[15:01] Asagumo
    I'll return home, one of these days.
[15:15] Yamashiro
    1st Striking Force, 3rd Section, 1YB3H,
[15:20] Yamashiro
    will set off tomorrow morning
     for our sortie point of Brunei!
[15:31] Girls
    Hurry up and get ready!
[15:32] Girls
    Roger!
[15:34] Girls
    That goes over here!
[15:35] Girls
    I'll get the amphibious tanks ready, too!
[15:41] Nachi
    Another encrypted message
    from Yamashiro in Lingga.
[15:45] Ashigara
    They're at the sortie point, right?
[15:47] Nachi
    Correct. They arrived at Brunei.
[15:50] Abukuma
    Ashigara-san! Nachi-san!
[15:52] Ashigara
    Calm down. Have some tea first, Abukuma.
[15:57] Ushio
    Here, take one.
[15:59] Abukuma
    Thank you, Ushio-chan.
[16:05] Abukuma
    Our admiral has given the order!
[16:07] Abukuma
    We're changing part of the plan
    and leaving port now.
[16:10] Nachi
    So, it's time.
[16:17] Abukuma
    Torpedo Squadron 1, ready to go!
[16:21] Nachi
    Okay.
[16:22] Nachi
    It's a little early,
    but we'll be heading out.
[16:25] Ashigara
    Let's go!
[16:29] Sign
    3rd Section
[16:43] Shigure
    Thanks.
[17:05] Mogami
    They sure are big...
[17:08] Shigure
    Yeah.
[17:11] Yamashiro
    That's the 1st Striking Force's main fleet.
[17:15] Mogami
    Yamashiro...
[17:17] Yamashiro
    As the diversion,
[17:19] Yamashiro
    we'll charge into the strait,
    drawing away the enemy ships
[17:22] Yamashiro
    while they strike the enemy's
    ground forces on the island.
[17:26] Yamashiro
    They're our primary force.
[17:29] Shigure
    So, that's the plan. We distract the enemy
[17:32] Shigure
    while our big fleet hits
    their forces on the island.
[17:36] Yamashiro
    That's right.
[17:38] Mogami
    I hope they hit 'em hard!
[17:41] Yamashiro
    Yeah.
[17:45] Yamashiro
    Oh, Mogami. Carrier Division 4
    passed me things to give to you.
[17:51] Mogami
    From Hyuuga-san and the others?
[17:52] Mogami
    What is it?
[17:53] Yamashiro
    Um, well...
[17:55] Yamashiro
    Those girls...
[17:57] Yamashiro
    God, they take up so much space!
[17:59] Yamashiro
    Oh, here it is.
[18:04] Mogami
    That's a special...
[18:07] Shigure
    A Zuiun?
[18:08] Yamashiro
    I don't know what they are,
    but they take up too much space!
[18:11] Yamashiro
    Take them off my hands, please!
[18:13] Mogami
    They're so cute! Hooray!
[18:16] Yamashiro
    And this, too.
[18:18] Yamashiro
    Here.
[18:20] Mogami
    A Kyoufuu Kai seaplane?
[18:23] Mogami
    Thank you!
[18:26] Mogami
    I'll equip them right away!
[18:29] Mogami
    Thanks, Yamashiro!
[18:30] Mogami
    That's why you're our flagship, huh?
[18:32] Yamashiro
    Quiet.
[18:33] Yamashiro
    Our admiral ordered me to give it to you.
[18:35] Yamashiro
    Get this crap from Carrier
    Division 4 off my hands.
[18:39] Mogami
    Hooray!
[18:41] Yamashiro
    What's so great about that junk?
[18:44] Shigure
    Zuiuns are very good seaplanes.
    I can't equip them, though.
[18:50] Yamashiro
    I know.
[18:54] Yamashiro
    Shigure, protect my sister.
[18:59] Shigure
    Yamashiro?
[19:04] Yamashiro
    Just stay still for a moment, Shigure.
[19:15] Shigure
    Yamashiro?
[19:18] Yamashiro
    Shigure, protect everyone.
    Protect my sister.
[19:27] Yamashiro
    Even when I'm gone...
[19:31] Yamashiro
    The operation begins tomorrow.
[19:33] Yamashiro
    We weigh anchor at 1530.
[19:38] Yamashiro
    There's still a little time.
[19:41] Yamashiro
    Let's get some rest.
[19:43] Shigure
    Yeah, Yamashiro...
[19:47] Shigure
    Let's get a little sleep.
[20:23] Fusou
    Yamashiro, all ships are ready to go.
[20:28] Yamashiro
    Understood, Sister.
[20:30] Yamashiro
    1530. This fleet will now proceed through
    the Surigao Strait and into Leyte!
[20:36] Yamashiro
    The 1st Striking Force's main
     fleet has already left.
[20:39] Yamashiro
    We will support their advance into Leyte Gulf
    and destruction of the enemy invasion force!
[20:45] Yamashiro
    1st Striking Force, 3rd Section!
    Weigh anchor!
[20:54] Fusou
    Orders received. Battleship Division 2,
    Fusou. Weighing anchor.
