**[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...

Sorry, Hamakaze. Does Torpedo

**[07:11] Hamakaze**
No, they're reorganizing the fleet.
A new order of battle was announced.
**[07:17] Hamakaze**
And...

Oh, okay.

Mogami?
**[08:56] Shigure**
Yeah. Glad to be working with you.
**[08:58] Mogami**
Me, too.
**[08:59] Mogami**
Let's hurry. Everybody else
is already together.
**[09:02] Shigure**
Yeah.

This is the spot!
**[09:27] Mogami**
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.
**[21:00] Mogami**
Mogami, weighing anchor!
**[21:02] Shigure**
Shigure, weighing anchor!

Set a course for the Surigao Strait!

No rain... lasts forever.
