They were quite shocked to find that her guns were 46 cm and she was a lot wider than expected. Heavier and more advanced than the Americans expected from the Japanese in 1941.


The shipgirl, Yamato, will be however she is, but I still think it be funny the roles are reversed and it is Fubuki who is "sempai" to the elegant looking Yamato.
I doubt Fubuki will be the sempai, simply because 'my guns are bigger than yours'
Jokes aside though, Yamato will probably be a flagship of one of the fleet, maybe with Fubuki as an escort.

Also, it would be fun if she had a conversation with the admiral about putting a nuclear reactor inside her to reduce fuel costs to almost 0. (She'd certainly have the space)
