Ah, Akatsuki, wait a sec.

I was half-joking earlier about the no-panties issue.

Yes, appearances are important, but form follows function, so take note of the latter for your health.

After all, you might catch a cold, so please wear yours properly from now on.

Akatsuki wasn't wearing panties? You sure are perceptive, Admiral.

It's an admiral's duty to care about the condition of each and every shipgirl under his command...

...I admit, that line—by itself—does sound rather cool.
