Hello? Yes, this is the White Naval Base...I'm so sorry, but we only have Katori alone here so she has her hands full... Huh? You say we have another one?What!? The documents say we have a "Gunnery Practice Ship"!?
The original Japanese kanji literally means "training battleship", but the proper English naval term is "gunnery practice ship", usually used for decommissioned battleships....it really is true.Hiei-san!!You never had your ship classification changed from "Gunnery Practice Ship", have you!?Hiee?Hiei was classified as a gunnery practice ship under the Washington Naval Treaty. The plan was to reclassify her as a fast battleship and have her participate in war when Japan walked out of the Naval Treaty.
But in reality, during her action up to her sinking Hiei was still officially listed as a gunnery practice ship.Eh? You want us to send a training ship over?Desu?
