Chapter Text

Name: F-4 Phantom II jet battle armor, code name "Grey tornado"

Appearance: Dark grey jet pilot uniform covered in armor that has jet wings and engines on the back, a solid fuselage on the front torso, a jet pilot helmet and breathing unit, and mechanical gauntlets/boots

Powered by? Wisdom cube energy

Refuelable? Yes, either by connecting to CVN-80 or walking in a nuclear carrier kansen's ship.

Fuel duration: 20 hours of nonstop flight at maximum burn, at cruise speed, 100 hours, in battle, averages 10

Max speed: 500 MPH (mech mode), Mach 2.4 (jet mode)

Armor durability rating: ★★★★★★★

Power rating: ★★★★★★★

Powers and Abilities

Gear cube characteristics, which basically means the armor is basically a jet that acts like it was summoned from a kansen, giving it unlimited ammo, much greater fuel efficiency and lifespan, regenerative properties, and the ability to shift parts of itself to summon various weapons in mech mode

Standard Arsenal, chris has a standard set of weapons equipped to this thing that he can summon in mech mode and have attached to him in jet mode, the standard setup is a vulcano minigun, sidewinder missiles for air-to-air purposes, maverick missiles for air-to-ground purposes, and a conduit system to draw electrified air from all around him.

Alternate Arsenal, if need be chris can draw upon other weapons the F-4 phantom II carried, minus thermonuclear weapons, but in doing so another weapon needs to be replaced, and in the heat of battle, this is a very critical and fragile action to take.

Carrier sync, he can be used as a tactical squadron for any jet-capable eagle union carrier, allowing him to summon a squadron of phantom clones that dont think, dont speak, they just follow the leader, but only when he's physically launched, in jet mode, from said carrier, and once he enters mech mode, the clones crash and explode instead of simply vanishing after some time.

Damage absorption, any damage the armor takes chris does not feel, and most attacks will be converted to energy that the armor can fuel itself upon, punching cant be converted though, projectiles can, and an explosive impact will negate the energy conversion.

jet punch, exactly what it sounds like, chris fires a gauntlet that flies off like a jet to hit the enemy, it can either return to him or explode on impact and be replaced by another gauntlet summoned from the wisdom cube energy aether

Special stealth armor mode, when needed, chris can change his armor into the Lockheed SR-71 blackbird

Blackbird mode stats and abilities

Appearance: Black, with Blackbird styled armoring

Powered by? Wisdom cube energy

Refuelable? not in this mode

Fuel Duration: Unknown

Max Speed: Mach 1 in mech mode, Mach 3+ (jet mode)

Armor Durability Rating: ★★★★★★★

Power Rating: ★★★★★★★

Powers are as follows

Transonic combat, able to go mach 1 in mech mode, and fire jet punches at transonic speeds

Complete stealth, unable to be detected by all known forms of radar, flies much more silently than the F-4 Phantom II, and at far higher altitudes

Integrated tracking systems, though the F-4 has this too, the blackbird's tracking systems are far superior

AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, although he cant summon them in jet mode due to the speed involved, in a pinch in mech mode, he can fire them.

Editor's note: I am aware that the phoenix missiles were never on it, in fact the blackbird is a strict recon aircraft, but the YF-12A, a closely related project had AIM-47 Falcons which later were succeeded by the AIM-54 Phoenix (put on the F-14 because the YF-12 was cancelled)

However, my dad, a former air force logistics guy, has said some....interesting things about it, I cant tell if he's speaking truth, but he served a long time and likely heard some truths and maybe mere rumors, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt, but the actual reason the blackbird was purely recon is because the YF-12 kept outspeeding its own missiles, and that the blackbird was capable of hypersonic flight.

I actually don't wanna go that insane but with wisdom cube propulsion and engineering, chris's blackbird armor COULD go hypersonic and have scramjet missiles for true tech schizophrenia, but I'll hold back for now

No new page, but I updated the mech armor page and the retrofit and refit of kansen page, check it out :D

Fleet commander: Christian J wood (Rear Admiral)

Deputy Commander: Chief Warrant Officer 5 Enterprise

Flagship: CVN-65 Enterprise (hehehehehehe), CVN-66 Hornet (for when the former isn't able to lead)

Government: Confederal Parliamentary Monarchy

Capital: Ottawa

Commander: Donald Hudson, Commodore

Flagship: RCN Prince (armored attack carrier, well, will be after refit, though the flagship may change with the prospect of the province-class battlecruisers)

List of ships: to expand

Ships being constructed: 4 battlecruisers, 3 supercruisers, 10 light carriers, 50 destroyers, various auxillary ships, and 20 submarines

Lore: When the royal navy fell under attack by a siren invasion, the maple monarchy lost contact with the home islands, and during this dark time, the parliament of the dominion decided to vote in favor of complete sovereign independence from the home islands, and due to the growing cold war plus expenses, the royal navy accepted their full independence, thus they now have a native sovereign, their own fleet, and even some ships given to them by the royal navy due to the kansen liking it there.

As of now its trying to assert its independence, claim greenland and alaska, and get involved with azur lane.

Btw prince was a bogue class CVL built by the eagle union as part of the lend lease, she WAS supposed to return to eagle union but revolted against that and is now the boss of the maple navy, or basically, the one everyone listens to, due to most of them being eagle union or royal navy loaned vessels they tend to look up to both factions as their big siblings who they will ALWAYS listen to

Chapter Text

Destroyers

Main Battery caliber: <150mm

Secondary Battery caliber: None

Usual characteristics: Small, lightly armored, carries 2 quadruple torpedo tubes per side, guided missile types have less in order to make room for their missiles, very fast (usually in excess of 45kts maximum speed)

Types: Standard destroyer (DD), Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG),  Destroyer Leader (DDL or DDLG), Nuclear powered destroyers (DDN, DDGN, or DDLGN).

Proposed subclasses: Gunboat Destroyer and Torpedo Boat destroyer (emphasis on guns or torpedoes sacrifices utility, hence why its unofficial)

Requirements for subtypes: Have a missile array to be considered guided missile, be nuclear powered to be considered a DDN, to be a destroyer leader, a destroyer has to be around 30% larger than an average destroyer with larger torpedoes (622mm compared to the 533-610mm standard)

Cruisers

Main Battery Caliber: 150-330mm

Secondary Battery Caliber: up to and including 133mm

Usual Characteristics: Medium sized, medium armored, though some low down have heavy armor, emphasis on being able to escort bigger ships, outmatch smaller ones, and in some cases, lead small task squadrons, there's a lot of differences here

Types:

Light Cruiser (CL): smaller and lighter armored, but faster and having a much stronger AA setup with faster firing guns, usually having guns of 150-180mm caliber (or just being pure laser guns, which has no caliber and as such any cruiser that has laser cannons is considered a light cruiser because lasers are energised light)

Heavy Cruiser (CA): larger and better armored, it accounts for slower reload by having stronger guns and a stronger secondary battery at the expense of AA, usual caliber is 190-234mm

Standard Cruiser (CC): the usual standards for a cruiser, this classification is the main one used due to the diversity of cruisers between factions and some factions just not having light or heavy cruisers at all

Supercruiser (SC): the largest of cruisers, and the best armored, unbound by treaties these cruisers take everything about a cruiser and just supersize it, usually having main batteries of 3-4 turrets of 283-305mm capacity, with 3 guns per turret, though some have larger caliber in exchange for less gun (the brest class basically, 2 4 gun 330mm turrets).

Guided Missiles variant initials are as follows: CCG, CAG, CLG, and SCG

Battleships

Main Battery Caliber: 356mm+

Secondary Battery Caliber: 133mm+

Usual Characteristics: large, heavily armored, slower than vanguard ships, but downright immensely powerful, with more weapons than other ships

Types:

Battlecruiser (BC): Less armoring for more speed, usually carries more secondary weaponry weaponry to make up for this, lacks as much AA potential too

Standard Battleship (BB): well armored, strong weapons all around, and a real nasty temper in battle hehehehe

Aviation Battleship (BBV): replaces a lot of weapons systems and has a different superstructure to account for a flight deck, carries 40-80 planes a hangar, usually a bit faster

Nuclear Powered Battleship (BBN): Self explanatory

Guided missile variants specifically require the missiles to be secondary or anti-air only

Arsenal Ship (ARS): A battleship who's main battery is missiles

Ballistic Missile Battleship (BBB) A battleship with access to ballistic missiles (uhh, spoilers maybe?)

Super Battleship (BBS): an unofficial classification for a battleship with a main battery greater than 460mm or a displacement of over 80,000 tons

Aircraft carriers

Usual Characteristics: Large, flat flight deck on top, no main battery, secondary battery is too varied for a usual caliber

Types:

Light Aircraft carrier (CVL): Smaller and well, lighter, carries less planes and acts as a support carrier

Fleet Carrier (CV): The main aircraft carriers

Attack Carrier (CVA): Aircraft carriers designed for offensive combat, usually having more armor and less fighters to allow for more bombers and attack aircraft

Supercarrier (SCV): Any aircraft carrier that is 80,000+ tons

Nuclear carrier (CVN): any nuclear powered aircraft carrier, often they fit the supercarrier status so the terms interchange

Guided Missile carrier (CVG): Any aircraft carrier with guided missile systems on it

Such variants include CVAG, CVGN, CVAGN, and even CVAN for nuclear attack carriers

Submarines

Usual Characteristics: STEEL CYLINDERS THAT SINK HAHAHAHA

Types:

Submarine (SS): Typical stuff

Fleet Submarine (SSF): Normally referring to any submarine that can work with a fleet on the move, its now used to refer to submarines that can act as capital ships

Guided Missile Submarine (SSG): Any submarine with guided missiles

Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSB): Any submarine with a ballistic missile

SSN, SSGN, SSBN: Nuclear powered, by definition they're already fleet submarines.

Chapter Text

Fleet commander: Sir thomas rodney, baron rodney, duke of norfolk (commodore)

Deputy commander: Albert Blake (CWO 5)

Flagship: HMS audacious

Components:

1st attack carrier squadron (Audacious, formidable, Illustrious, implacable, victorious, indefatigable, ark royal, eagle)

1st light carrier division (Unicorn, Theseus, Perseus, Centaur, Chaser)

1st battle squadron (Howe, prince of wales, rodney (ofc), revenge)

2nd battle squadron (Hood, renown, repulse, duncan)

1st cruiser squadron (Belfast, Bermuda, Black Prince, Newcastle, Exeter, Suffolk)

Combined Destroyer flotilla (Javelin, Wrangle,. Ulysses, Glowworm, Icarus, Echo, Jupiter)

Combined Submarine flotilla (Arthur, lancelot, gawain, percival, galahad)

About 800 aircraft including the gloster meteor and loaned eagle union jets

Fleet HQ: Azur lane naval base

The fleet is the largest in azur lane by total aircraft, and in terms of total ships its second only to the eagle union third fleet in size, but due to the third fleet being kept in reserve for the time being, the pacific fleet is the primary attacking force for the pacific reclamation offensive, meaning rodney has more field authority than chris does.

Chapter Text

Fleet commander: Albrecht Schultz (Konteradmiral)

Deputy commander: Whatever poor schmuck wants the job

Flagship: SMS Graf Zeppelin

Components:

Surface Flotilla A (Scharnhorst, Blücher (*terrified neigh*), Z30, Z29)

Surface Flotilla B  (Gneisenau, Admiral Hipper, Z28, Z27)

Surface Flotilla C (Graf Zeppelin, Weser, Elbe, Roon, Mainz)

Surface Flotilla D (Fritz Rumey, Emden, Nurnberg, Z52, Z46)

Submarine Flotilla Alpha (U-96, U-37, U-47, U-101)

Submarine Flotilla Beta (U-110, U-557, U-73, U-410)

Around 200 total planes including the ME-262s

60 Attack Drones

This fleet is composed of specific objectives, SF-A and SF-B work as pincers to pin the enemy down while Flotilla C drops the hammer down, Flotilla D serving as heavy fire backup in case things go wrong.

"why is it SMS and not KMS?"

Because SMS is the german HMS, but its not HIS majesty they serve, its HER majesty, lord bismarck, who schultz is not allowed to have in his personal fleet, most of the big hitters are part of the aptly named high seas fleet, which defends the homefront in case things are dire.

also no nazis allowed, no paperclips either XD

Iowa

Rating: UR

Classification: Battleship

Skills:

Big Stick (Offensive): every 10 seconds, increases Iowas FP and Accuracy by 100% for 8 seconds and inflicts armor break on whatever enemy it hits

Ghost dance (Defensive): every 20 seconds, there's a chance for iowa to dodge all incoming damage for 8 seconds

Our Liberties We Prize, Our Rights We Will Maintain (Support): Every eagle union BB or BBV gets a reload increase of 10%, if sortied with another iowa class, all iowas take 10% reduced damage.

Description:

Iowa has a midwestern farmer motif, she's the mellow one of her sisters and often has to be the one to prevent new jersey from causing some antics or to hide the booze from wisconsin, she has a special relationship with howe as they're both battleships with eccentric siblings, iowa supplies her with some materials for special cookies, and howe supplies iowa with some of said cookies.

She acts like a cool sister to Illinois as well, helping the young battleship get through life, and is one of the only kansen in eagle union chris trusts with Illinois.

Although she doesn't talk much on it, the reason her fleetchat name is grey dragon is because she learned the fine art of evasive combat from enterprise, and combined it with her firepower to create a battle style that even gets her wins on missouri.

And just a fun fact, she lets boise hide in her crop fields.

Missouri

Rating: UR

Classification: Guided Missile Battleship

Skills:

Mighty mo' (Offensive): Every time she fires her main guns, increases her firepower by 10%, caps at 40%

Guardian of Pearl Harbor (Support): reduces damage taken by allied eagle union BBs by 10% and raises all eagle union ships ACC by 10%, if arizona is sortied with her, increases arizona's FP by 20% and reduces her damage taken by 40%

Freedom through Strength (Support): All battleships in the same fleet get their FP boosted by 10%, every 10 seconds, launches a missile strike that inflicts armor break and sets the enemy on fire.

Description:

A rowdy tough brawler, Missouri fears nothing except an angry chris (long story involving seeing him dissect a siren with a fork), whatever doesn't kill her makes her stronger, or in this case damages her hull to the point she needed to become a guided missile battleship to stay alive, but she can tango with the roughest of foes, and once wrestled with bismarck in a legendary iron man wrestling match that she won by wearing bismarck out, though now that bismarck is reinforced, a rematch between the two is on the horizon.

whenever she isnt brawling with someone, namely maryland, she's out fighting sirens or spending time with arizona, there was a rumor that there was romantic tension, but after an incident with pennsylvania and maryland, the rumors have ceased.

Also she enjoys chris's singing.

Wisconsin

Rating: UR

Classification: Battleship

Skills:

Forward for freedom (Support): Increases reload of all eagle union ships by 10%, if Wisconsin is flagship, every 10 seconds, there's a chance for all eagle union ships to have their reload doubled for 8 seconds

"I ain't drunk" (Support): Increases this ship's FP and ACC by 10%, increases AVI of all eagle union CVs and CVLs by 20%

Typhoon's bane (Defense): if this ship's range or accuracy is reduced, reduces damage taken by 10%

Description:

Although people may think she's just a drunkard, beneath that drunken exterior is a woman depressed over typhoon cobra, she escaped with no damage, but her adoptive little sister spence was lost during the storm.

This, and the fact spence is still traumatised, makes her drink to cope, and despite everyone's insistence that she find a healthier coping mechanism, all she does is flip them off and drink harder.

But, if she's ever sober, no enemy is safe from her guns, due to an accident when repairing her, chris accidentally managed to increase her guns range to match that of the yamatos and then some, giving her an attack range only surpassed by satsuma and the aircraft carriers.

Despite her insistence on being drunk, chris has managed to tone her back a bit, with hope that eventually, she'll overcome the traumas that plagued her.

Illinois

Rating: Decisive

Classification: Battleship

Skills:

Land of Lincoln (Support): Buffs the FP/TRP/AVI/RLD of all eagle union ships by 10%, every time Illinois kills an enemy, heals all eagle union ships except Illinois by 5%

Silicon Prairie's Frenzy (Offense): Buffs Illinois's AA by 30%, Every 20 seconds, fires a special proximity fuse salvo that intercepts all enemy aircraft, and has a chance to burn enemy ships

Arsenal of Liberty (Offense): Increases Illinois's FP by 15% and RLD by 20%, when Illinois fires her main guns, has a 10% chance to fire 12 shots that are Super heavy AP, if the opponent is a siren, all attacks done by Illinois are critical and inflict armor break

Siren Killer (Offense): Increases damage done to sirens by 20%

Description: A little weird is an apt description of Illinois, gold hair that fades into blue with white stars, heterochromatic eyes (left is blue, right is red), constantly spawning a top hat to pull cardinals and eagle out of, yet always wanting to lend an ear, Illinois is quite remarkable.

She bonded well with Satsuma, both were siren killers that didnt have much chance to kill sirens, but on their first sortie out together, it became clear that they were a duo to be reckoned with, and upon their return, Illinois became less nervous about her role in the world, and became one of the three fleet managers of eagle union, helping balance the differing views on fleet command between enterprise and saratoga, who work well but learned different lessons from the war.

Of course, what everyone noticed right away was how her temperament seemed to be just like chris's is not more naive, to the point they were considered father and daughter, not helped by Illinois constantly saying such, though eventually it became official when he adopted her, and together these weird dorks managed to make life on base all the more enjoyable.

Of course, she still has a fair bit to learn, like how to be a good girlfriend to Arizona, because apparently, according to chris, diving for clams isn't an ideal date if you bring a shotgun, but what does that party pooper know am I right XD

Whatever the case, she knows no fear in the face of sirens, and while Hornet doesnt want to admit it, seeing Illinois copy her feels awesome.

The protector's aid (Support): If Missouri is in the fleet, boosts her FP by 40% and heals her health by 5% every 8 seconds, if Illinois is in the fleet, reduces her damage taken by 20% and boosts her reload by 100%


Description: Her tears have stopped, and she is in a much better place mentally, it took a lot to get there, but Arizona now looks forward to a new day, her upgrade being a request from her sister on her behalf, and with this upgrade, Arizona swears to protect all that she cares for, a sentiment she finds her GF Illinois to be a fan of, maybe because the commander keeps hugging Arizona every time she says it.

she rarely leaves pearl harbor, acting as one of the sentinel guards of the base along with missouri, but when she's called to fight, she will gladly go where she's needed, but if she's left to just vibe, you can catch her fishing or enjoying the nice air on the beach, or playing sports with her sister pennsylvania.

she's truly happy, and that smile she gives is enough to make even charles relax.

Siren Killer (Offense): Boosts damage done to sirens by 15%

Description:

Nassau has had a rough life, after world war I she was originally set to be retained, but then a forced seizure saw her sent to sakura, where she was deemed obsolete and thus used for carrier bombing training, which destroyed her rigging to the point she couldn't even rescue it from the scrapyards.

Despite this, thanks to the help of a sympathetic Amagi, Mikasa, and newly born Nagato, she was able to survive without a rigging, and fled to the tulipan east indies, where she learned to harness the powers of nature from the mage ships there.

This knowledge has allowed her to not only slow her own aging, which comes once you're without a rigging, but to make her spice-filled meals and tea the envy of all, or so some say.

Thanks to her name being part of the official name of the ruling dynasty of tulipa, when reports of a Nassau started trickling in, nobody batted an eye, but now, they'll be batting many an eye, especially now that she has a more modern battleship hull.

And despite their differences, they all appreciate alterprise for what she's done.

Everyone's favorite cursed destroyer, she had a severe case of misfortune and because of that she ended up becoming more drunk than wisconsin and yorktown combined, constantly drunk off her stern, she refused to acknowledge any order, ignoring all calls to action, she just stayed in her dorm, and more precisely, in the bottle.

But it all came back to bite her, during one mission where she was forcefully dragged out of her room, in her state of drunkenness, a kamikaze split her in half, and her body was never recovered.

When chris came to azur lane, he looked up porter's file, and when he found out she wasn't revived, he set to work building an all new William D. Porter,  and when she woke up in her new body, the first thing she saw was the blonde haired idiot offering her some tea, "its better to drink your sorrows with this, I know what its like to feel cursed, so if you need anything, come to me" he said.

Porter never forgot that, and swore to make right, she kept working on herself with chris acting as her support, and soon, she came out of her therapy a new destroyer, and the strongest fletcher in the fleet.

Ever since, she's been 90% sober, and while she drinks beer and vodka to be nice, she always moderates herself and never drinks without someone watching over her, her ability in battle is proof of her new self confidence and her new lease on life, embracing the "curse" to be the most dangerous destroyer in eagle union, and one who's also tried her hardest to get her fellow eagle unioners to not become an alcoholic, with a catchphrase she says at every meeting "I'm not drunk and yet you see what I do out there, imagine what I'd do if I WAS drunk"

Aside from her AA meetings, she's also helped other destroyers show how they can be even more deadly, and also spends time with iowa, sharing a sisterly relationship, though one wonders if she has a thing for san diego because she always attends her concerts.

Details:

Mama texas is one of the oldest, toughest battleships in the entire alliance, she retired sometime after providing aid in normandy, letting herself become a museum ship, by this point, she had taught many cruisers how to make their shots count, and told them how to spot things from far distances without a spotter, her engineering mastery gave Enterprise and Essex their original bows, and it was her that tested the MK B 457mm turret when she returned to AL to have improved ballistics so they pierce heavier siren armor more easily, even with HE shells.

She also helped improved the W23 shell, becoming one of very few battleships with the permission to wield it at all times, the others being Georgia, Satsuma, Hood, Warspite, Mikasa, Bismarck, Tirpitz, Delaware, Iowa, and Illinois

"I've got your back arizona" (Support): If arizona is in the fleet, halves damage she receives from all sources, and fires a supporting barrage, also launches a special airstrike that increases arizona's range by 10%

Details:

Trading power for support ability, Pennsylvania became a north carolina class battleship but with a flight deck installed instead of a rear gun mount, further augmented to handle jets and have CIWS guns to shoot down aircraft and missiles, giving pennsyvlania the perfect tools to support her comrades and specifically her sister arizona.

Although she and arizona are class-distinct, their bond is still as strong as ever, and wherever arizona goes, sister penn is keeping an eye on her.

Chapter Text

So I will update some pages, and I have, but I wont be adding any new ones except for aux gear mayhaps.

why?

well, kind of in a legal snafu irl, a lot of shit's gone wrong and the nerves are killing me so I cant write well, sorry about that.

dont worry I'm fighting it, but let's just say its 4 years of misery come to a climax.

If I write anything...off, its because I'm trying to cope with it, and I'd rather not turn my series into a bunch of copium farms.

so while I'll do some updates, I'm gonna focus on figuring out everything thats going on, but be assured, azur prime and all stories WILL continue.

as for some future plans, well, I'll do inquiries as normal, and maybe edit some old chapters.

oh and I'll drop bismarck and eugen's wedding chapter eventually, spoilers eugen lives I guess, tbh if the irl eugen could handle an atomic bomb, a ballistic missile wouldn't take her out either, so...sorry for false tension on that, but I wont say how damaged she is though, but as I've said she got a massive refit so yeah.

...eh screw it I'll just admit a little as to what I'm getting into.

I've been the victim of racial-based harassment ever since the covid lockdowns ended, being called jeffrey dahmer, being called cracker, white boy, etc, rocks thrown, sticks smacked and cut my skin, the works

its given me depression, anxiety, and social hostility.

until recently its been manageable, but ever since our first BLACK managers came in, its gotten so. so much worse, gang beatings, my own parents being beat, and despite cameras catching them...nothing's ever done.

and now....they claim they wont renew our lease and we owe them rent WE PAID FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

I know I specified their manager color, but its important, everyone that's gotten away with this shit against me is black too, literally nobody else gets away with it, and several white tenants were already kicked out for bullshit reasons.

I set my fic world in the 60's right during the civil rights movement, so an inverse situation was always going to be discussed, and well....

yeah.

Hate doesn't stop at any colored light, and if you want to stop it, make sure all streets are put under careful watch.

Satsuma

Rating: Decisive

Classification: Super Battleship (SB)

Skills:

Way of the Warrior (Offense): All shells fired by this ship have super heavy characteristics, Increases FP by 30%, every 20 seconds, does a slash that auto-crits on enemy battleships and carriers

"The decisive battle is upon us!" (Defense): Raises her FP, AA, RLD, ACC, and Luck the more outnumbered Satsuma and her fleet is, caps at 300% if outnumbered 60-1, reduces damage taken by 90% if flagship and all other main fleet ships are sunk

Siren Killer II (Offense): Boosts damage dealt to sirens by 15%}

Description:

The only kitsune more voluptuous than the yamato sisters, with cherry blossom pink fur and eyes, satsuma is living incarnation of the ancient warrior spirits of sakura combined into one being, or so they say, but this mild mannered cherry blossom shogun is more of a giant puppy.

Rarely any less calm than the trees she grows, Satsuma was one of the first two decisive kansen made under direction of a blonde haired idiot, though it would take some time for her to have her chance to prove her power, succeeding one day after destroying a singularity with a slice of her sword, and concentrating the energy of the collapsing singularity into one of her own which she turned into cherry blossoms.

Every since this show of power, she's rarely fought, and often spends her time with the decisive sisters, being considered one of their own, but when she isnt with them she's tending to rice fields, growing cherry blossom trees, or destroying siren fleets from ranges second only to guided missile ships and aircraft carriers.

And she's become of the few kansen to beat chris in shogi.

Nautilus II

Rating: Legendary

Classification: Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN)

Special ability: Flagship, allows nautilus to become a flagship, sort of like the An shan DDGs

Skills:

20,000 Missiles under the sea (Offense): When entering the battle in normal sub mode, surfaces and launches a barrage of SLGMs that inflict armor break and cause burn, effect can stack 10 times, for 20 seconds, if in flagship mode, missiles can home in on enemy planes and missiles, regardless of mode, all torpdoes launched by this ship do splash damage that auto-destroys any mine in its radius and does damage damage to all enemy ships caught within it.

Undaunted Nautilus (Defense): In normal sub mode, raises EVA by 30% and reduces damage taken by 60% every time nautilus surfaces, when in flagship mode, summons a barrier that takes up to 30 hits, recharges after 30 seconds once broken.

Orca's echo (Support): All torpedoes launched by this ship and its allies acquire the magnetic homing attribute and have damage increased by 40% with an increased crit rate of 20%, if in flagship mode, instead fires a special torpedo barrage every 30 seconds that home in on enemies and do critical damage, and every time this skill activates, increases all ally ships accuracy by 40% for 10 seconds

Tireless Hunter of hunters (Nuclear): Boosts all stats of allied eagle union ships by 30%, and increases oxygen of all submarines by 80%, if against a siren enforcer, arbiter, or a META, has a 10% chance every 40 seconds to deploy an Ɛ-cube torpedo that destroys all enemy ships except the boss, cripples their health, removes all special abilities they have, and inflicts them with passive radiation sickness that causes them to lose half a health bar every 10 seconds, if in flagship mode, torpedo is replaced by an Ɛ-cube ballistic missile that fires every 30 seconds and has a 10% to auto-kill, otherwise it does critical damage with splash damage equivalent to 70% of the missile's direct damage,
Details:

Poor nautilus didn't expect to swallow enterprise's nuclear arrow, but she did, and as a result of it resonating with her cube and her desire to be a true hero, instead of dying, nautilus became a nuclear submarine, and her power drastically increased, second only to enterprise in capability, but by far much more deadly with her missile arsenal.

As such she carries the burden of the destruction she can bring in the name of protecting her friends, and the need to one day use it, something that has brought her closer to the yorktown family, along with the fact chris has adopted her.

She hasn't quite adjusted to her new body and her new abilities, having extremely good detection powers, submerged speed rivaling even the fastest of destroyers, the endurance to match it up, and her physical strength, though it came in handy when she punched a creeping officer so hard he was crippled and forced out of service as a result.

She still is the same ol' nautilus, just a bit grown up, less nervous, and a little rebellious, especially when it comes to northern union ships, ESPECIALLY K-19, speaking of....

K-19

Rating: Legendary

Classification: Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN)

Special Ability: Flagship mode, same as nautilus

Skills:

"I'M NOT SAKURAN" (Offense): In exchange for passive fire damage, increases TRP by 50%, RLD by 90%, and missile damage by 80% when surfaced, increases damage dealt to enemy carriers and submarines by 30% whether surfaced or not, if in flagship mode, all missiles reload twice as fast and deal double damage.

People's defiance (Defense): When sortied with 2 other northern union submarines, reduces mine damage to zero and all missiles become proximity fuse, if this ship is in flagship mode and the submarine force is all northern union, increases AA by 50% and reduces damage taken by 30%

"The Red navy is the strongest!" (Support): Increases the RLD, TRP, FP, AA, and missile damage of all Northern Union ships by 10% for every allied vessel, up to 80%, if not in flagship mode, increases their ASW and TRP by 100% instead

"I am death, destroyer of capitalists" (Nuclear): Boosts all stats of this sub by 10% of every northern union ship in the fleet, if the fleet is nothing but northern union, all torpedo barrages deal triple damage and home in, and if against an enemy META or arbiter or enforcer, fires an Ɛ-cube ballistic missile every 20 seconds that has a 5% chance to auto-kill, otherwise doing critical splash damage.

Details:

A secret project by northern union to counter nautilus, K-19 is proud of it, constantly bragging about her superiority and her true cooperative prowess with her comrades, flaunting it constantly to nautilus, who always responds with "I get to carry mr gun with me, please don't give me a reason to use him"

Despite this flaunting, K-19 hides a feeling of must succeed, if she fails to live up to expectations, she fears she'll be scrapped, and so continues to boast, even if it means causing tensions, and tensions there are, though not because of her, though she doesn't help, especially because she mocks the royal navy kansen for not having a k-class, claiming "imperials pigs couldn't build a K-class, so the proletariat picked up the slack", and is the only time she praises eagle union for doing anything, saying "even for bourgeoisie they still know better than to trust a crown", just to rub it in that the royal navy is often mocked for falling to the siren advance so easily.

As such, sparring between her and nautilus is forbidden, because EVERYONE wants to see it to prove a point, but chris and asmiov know that if they spar, tensions would explode no matter the result, and her acidic mouth has given her many nicknames, including "the communist piranha, dirty K, 19 fails, K the kickball", though the last one is a pre-emptive name.

Her hatred of the royal navy and eagle union aside, she also looks down on dragon empery due to an ongoing civil crisis, though her attitude has made her the perfect anathema to deutschland, though they're not as vitriolic because deutschland tries to warn K-19 to dial back, or she'll find out not only why she has been pre-emptively given the nickname "K the kickball", but also how deutschland got the nickname "das football"

K-19 thus has slight worry about what'll happen when Nautilus's dad shows up.

Colorado II

Rating: Decisive

Classification: Guided Ballistic Missile Battleship (BBBG)

Skills:

Big Seven, Colorado II (Offense): Fires a special barrage every time Colorado fires her main guns, 30% chance to launch a ballistic missile that does triple the FP of the gun equipped in effective damage, if any allied battleship falls below 50% of their HP, fires a supporting guided missile barrage

Cavatina of the deep (Support): Raises this ship's FP and AA by 20%, boosts TRP of all submarines by 30%, fires a healing missile to heal any submarine that goes below 50% health once a battle per submarine

True Power (Offense): Raises this ships FP by 60% upon first successful ballistic missile launch, once this ship reaches 50% HP, doubles AA, ACC, and FP, and fires a special ballistic missile that does increased damage to METAs every 20 seconds

Siren Killer, Colorado (Offense): Does increased damage to sirens by 20%, fires Super heavy AP shells against Sirens

Details:

This is the first battleship to have both ballistic missiles and guided missiles, and also the first refit to include an Ɛ-cube power generator in its design instead of a traditional nuclear reactor, which gives her much more power than others of her league, but not on the same level as a nuclear battleship, though with a proper upgrade she'll likely become on the future.

Thanks to groundwork by texas, colorado's ship is basically the titan battleship for eagle union, and something close to a tillman battleship, though much less clunky, while sharing a similar montana-class hull in concept to texas, colorado is larger and longer, with longer guns and shells to match, 55 caliber 457mm shells in four two-gun turrets, CIWS systems, guided missile arrays and a ballistic missile launcher, and something of a very new innovation, attack helicopters, it is no secret that eagle union's approval of this design was a result of intense negotiations with chris, they wanted a tillman battleship but modernised, and chris wanted to go ahead with the ohio class arsenal ships, due to an impasse, the colorados got the refit go-ahead to test ballistic missiles.

while they have yet to enter battle, colorado doesnt mind, she still loves her chris, and does fight a bit with enterprise over who gets to hug him and receive headpats, but when you got the strongest EU battleship AND the strongest EU carrier fighting over you, life ain't bad.

Essex

Rating: Ultra Rare

Classification: Fleet Carrier (CV)

Skills:

Unparalleled Skywarriors (Offense): When this ship launches an Airstrike, launches an additional A-3 skywarrior airstrike that does armor break, also increases essex's damage done to CVs, CVLs, and BBVS by 30%

Covering Formation+ (Support): For each EU CV, BBV, or CVL in the same fleet as this ship, increases AVI and AA by 10%, each time this ship's planes strike down an enemy plane, increases AVI by 8%, stacks up to 10 times, also deploys a tigercat support airstrike to help allied CV bombers

Absolute Evasion (Defense): see in game

Details:

She finally got jets, and her skill as a carrier has become as legendary as enterprise's, and although enterprise is still the superior carrier, Essex has managed to become such a skilled CV herself that she's considered to be the best non-nuclear carrier in eagle union and potentially all of azur lane, though manfred von richtoffen and audacious claim bullshit on it, and so does hakuryuu and taihou, but whats important is that with her new confidence and relief in finally getting the recognition she deserved, she's become as capable and as dangerous as the grey ghost, though this means zuikaku bothers her a lot, and taihou sees her as a rival now as well.

This has made essex feel like she owes enterprise an apology, she cant get much sleep with someone shouting "FIGHT ME" every chance they get, though thankfully her commander's helped mute the noise.

Northampton III

Rating: Ultra Rare

Classification: Guided missile heavy cruiser (CAG)

Skills:

Vanguard of the dancing ghost (Support): Reduces Hornet's damage taken by 20% if she's in the fleet, and right before hornet launches an airstrike, fires an SAM barrage that targets enemy fighters and missiles

Des Annihilation, Northampton (Offense): Decreases RLD by 15%, if an iris orthodoxy ship is in the fleet, Northampton enters a special annihilation mode every 10 seconds that fires super heavy cruiser shells in a rapid burst of 3 salvos, marking a target who takes 20% increased damage and has their EVA reduced by 50%

Dodge fast, dodge often (Defense): Raises EVA by 15%, if a CV is a flagship, reduces airstrike damage taken by 10%, if the flagship is a CVL, heals do more, if the flagship is a CVG, Northampton gets an anti-missile shield that takes up to 10 missile hits.

Details:

The quiet heavy cruiser got her chance to shine, when the refitting came for eagle union, Northampton's refit came in the form of her turrets being replaced with RF turrets, allowing her similar firing rates of her light cruiser counterparts, along with an incredible anti-air and anti-missile kit so she could lead carrier support, allowing her to sortie often with her close friend hornet.

This hasn't changed her awkwardness much, but she is still a powerful asset, especially as her mounted missiles are turbojet like most of the royal navy missiles, making dodging them incredibly difficult.

Hammann III

Rating: Decisive

Classification: Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG)

Skills:

Protective Escort (Support): Boosts AA and airstrike damage of all carriers by 20%, reduces their damage taken by 35%, and if yorktown is the flagship, all effects on her double

Watchful Destroyer (Defense): Boosts FP and AA by 18%, reduces damage taken by 3% for every plane shot down by your vanguard.

"DIE YOU BAKAS" (Offense): Boosts TRP by 25%, unleashes a special missile barrage that does increased damage to surfaced submarines and other destroyers every 15 seconds, and also boosts ASW by 20%

Details:

The favorite tsundere of eagle union, her refit was the second most drastic of any eagle union destroyer, behind laffey, giving her waterjet propulsion and an improved gas turbine engine for speed and mobility like very few others, but also removing her main guns for guided missiles, and 6 sets of triple 610mm waterjet torpedo tubes, plus the integrated combat system, this makes her the second strongest destroyer in eagle union behind laffey, though they're not competitive, instead they work as a dangerous unit.

As for why she's a decisive, the massive amount of blueprint research that went into her hull to make it work is why.

Chapter Text

So refitting is a major plot point in this fic, so I'll get to how its usually done.

See, refitting a ship isn't usually too complex when following instructions, you just move guns, clean and fix stuff, etc, but that requires a kansen's full sized rigging to be out.

Azur lane has one of the largest docks in the world for the purpose of refitting and maintenance of riggings, the former purpose however can only go so far.
To make bigger ships then what the docks allow (beam and length of the montana class is the limit), auxillary docks in the home countries need to be used, as they're able to focus on one specific faction and have a lot more manpower available anyway.

To refit or retrofit a rigging, the simplest process is building all the components separately and putting them on the ship's hull at base, the biggest issue is the hull itself.

See an old worn out hull will need replacing, but a new hull has to be built from the ground up, and that can take a lot of time, especially since they have to be built away from base.

To make the process quicker and to let azur lane be more self sufficient, chris, chkalov, kearsarge, akashi, and yuubari developed a new alloy that can be used to solve the hull reconstruction issue, a little thing called Ɛ-steel

Ɛ-steel is made by taking old gear and scrapping it into a giant foundry that is combined with Ɛ-cube energy to create an alloy that, when used to coat an old hull, fuses with it to form the new hull, adjusting its shape to fit the concept, something the kansen can do themselves if they want any personal touches added on.

This also has the added benefit of allowing the rigging to be shrunk and put in a lathe to be fused with gear cubes, usually done with a small plasma welding torch.

Its still an arduous process, but by doing it this way, ships can get faster refits done, and it saves up on steel too.

Of course to even get a gear cube the gear has to be constructed, then analysed by a special computer, then converted into a cube, but thats a small detail in the grand scheme of things.

There is still the issue that a shakedown cruise isn't possible if the rigging is massive enough, but kansen can summon their riggings at other parts of the island where there's room so that's usually settled.

Of course there's more that goes into it, but I need to cut it short for now, I'll edit in stuff about nuclear conversions later

Of course if you're in a REAL hurry you can eat one of enterprise's arrows XD

U-110 Zwei

Rating: Priority

Classification: Guided missile submarine (SSG)

Skills:

Enigmatic Shark Attack (Offense): When entering battle, fires a special missile barrage that has a 100% chance to inflict one of the following debuffs: Reduces damage dealt by 10%, Increases damage taken by 10%, Decreases evasion by 10%, Armor Break, or Burn, every 20 seconds after entering battle, fires a waterjet torpedo that has a 30% chance to inflict critical damage and 100% chance to cause flooding

Wolfpack Tactics II (Offense): Increases TRP, RLD, and ACC by 15% for every iron blood submarine in the fleet, and raises crit rate by 20%

Siren Killer (Offense): Increases damage dealt to Sirens by 15%

Details:

One of the golden wolves of iron blood, 110's still the garlic bulb shark she's always been, but like her fellow golden wolves, she's been refitted with waterjet propulsion, gas turbine power generation, and guided missiles, all while her rigging is now an actual shark, which has made her a bit more feared by her enemies, especially sirens, and as such she's grown closer to her big adoptive sister spee as well, their shark riggings tend to play with each other a lot.

U-556 Zwei

Rating: Priority

Classification: Guided missile submarine (SSG)

Skills:

Knight of the Kaiserin (Support): Boosts Bismarck's stats by 10%, also fires an SAM barrage to protect Bismarck every time U-556 surfaces

Wolfpack Tactics II (Offense): Increases TRP, RLD, and ACC by 15% for every iron blood submarine in the fleet, and raises crit rate by 20%

Siren Killer (Offense): Increases damage dealt to Sirens by 15%

Details:

The second of the golden wolves, 556 has devoted herself to protecting Bismarck, something that Bismarck doesn't mind all that much anymore, especially now that she can actually keep up with her, her new rigging proving to be very useful, particularly in commerce raiding, which she and bismarck, and eugen, often do just for old times sake, sometimes scharnhorst and gneisenau tag along, because why let a change in targets get in the way of a good raid?

Whenever she's not raiding siren convoys, she's kicking back with schultz or chris and enjoying some nice juice, or a round of "find the submarine before she annoys tirpitz again"

U-96 Zwei

Rating: Ultra Rare

Classification: Guided missile submarine (SSG)

Skills:

Ace Submarine (Offense): Increases TRP, RLD, and ACC by 15% for every iron blood submarine in the fleet and raises crit rate by 20%, if U-96 is the lead sub, boosts TRP for all iron blood subs and destroyers by 50%, and every special torpedo barrage does 60% more damage.

Uber-Sawfish (Offense): Increases TRP and Crit rate by 15%, every 10 seconds, fires a special torpedo barrage that homes in on enemy ships and does armor break and double damage flooding, also increases EVA, ACC, and RLD by 10% for every Iron blood ship in your fleet

Golden Shot (Offense): Every 40 seconds, fires a special missile that does proximity damage, inflicting flak damage to enemy aircraft and burn damage to enemy ships

Details:

The single strongest submarine in iron blood, she was also the only one to not need extensive research to refit, a model of her rigging was experimented on by chris and given a complete overhaul that'd be the blueprint for other submarine refits in the future, giving her a surface speed of 40 knots and an unknown underwater speed, with the first missiles that could be launched underwater, an extremely useful thing that helped clear the north sea of several siren attacks, her prowling of the area with her fellow U-boats gave her flotilla the nickname "the steel orcas" by the royal navy observers, who studied her design for implementation in the knight-class, allowing them to be constructed from the ground up with similar power generation and propulsion, added in with the faster missiles, and you have a lot of competitive spirit which has shown the up and down sides of faction niches.

For U-96, her missiles are stronger with HBX-explosive basis, but the knight class missiles are faster and harder to shoot down, power over speed, though she still has better torpedoes thanks to their magnetic homing abilities being refined, the knight class using radio-guided torpedoes which suffer teething problems, and the improvement in sonar means the U-boats can still track things better, but in the end, this doesn't matter much to 96, who enjoys seeing arthur try to outdo her, its fun for her and she legitimately loves being able to compete with someone willing to try to outdo her, as the end result is always a good one, lots of dead sirens and a secure north sea.

Aside from that, 96 has also found work in training nautilus in how to be a better hunter, she offe3red the same to K-19 but K-19's refused, leading to animosity, though not as much as 96 has for the iris submarines that are slowly emerging, when they start coming in full force, there will be a world war under the waves, and nobody knows who will win.

The sardegnan subs are fine though

Chapter Text

Rating: Ultra rare

Classification: Battleship (BB)

Skills:

Rising Sun (Offense): All enemies are set on fire at the start of battle, if Yamato has her gun equipped, RoF is only 23 seconds, every 10 seconds, fires a special barrage that inflicts triple BRN and increases the damage taken by the enemy by 40%

Decisive Blade (Offense): Boosts FP by 20%, fires a special sword slash every 3 salvos of her main battery, if Musashi and Shinano are part of the same fleet, activates a special decisive combo airstrike/barrage that auto-crits and does increased crit damage

Yamato's Leadership (Support): Boosts FP, TRP, AA, and AVI of all sakura ships by 40%, and boosts their RLD, ACC, LCK, and EVA by 30%, if Yamato is in the flagship position, every time Yamato fires her main guns, ally BBs have their main gun spread reduced by 20%

Details:

Yamato, the flagship of the sakura empire, and a close confidant of Nagato, who she shares a close bond with, closer than anyone can really figure out.

sure Mikasa is a caretaker but there's something about the firey decisive she can't seem to place, as if she had been watching them since before she was even a battleship.

This mystique is added to by her ever reclusive demeanor, rarely showing herself unless she has to or Nagato comes knocking, and never really contacting anyone.

Despite this, she too had her ship refitted and modernised, although she doesn't have missiles, instead her rigging's secondary armament is composed of vulcan CIWS systems, RF 203mm guns, and a few HE HVAR launchers for added fireball effect, she even has a combat system now, not that it changes much.

Due to rarely being out, her power is rarely shown, but there's another reason, by channeling her spirit powers, she can drop a sun on the enemy, ending the battle in one decisive blow.

As such, duke of york HATES her.

Chapter Text

You already know who the deputy and fleet commander is, thats not as important now.

Flagship: CVN-65 enterprise (eagle union pacific doctrine requires a carrier to act as fleet flagship, and due to the third fleet's importance, this means enterprise wasn't a far off choice even before her conversion), Hornet (acting flagship when enterprise cant lead, purely because she's the overlooked sister and deserves the spotlight for once, yorktown's retired)

Components:

The carrier strike groups are obvious, pacific beeg, need carriers to properly cover it, thats why they exist, battle force is for large battles against siren forces, or shore bombardment, in case you think that hill doesn't need to exist

Carrier Strike group one (Enterprise (obvious), Baltimore (heavy fire support), New Orleans (also heavy fire support, been converted into a des moines class like baltimore, chris loves the new orleans saints), Cleveland (AA support and destroyer screening), San Diego (AA screening to the MAX), Laffey (best destroyer in eagle union, also the fastest) , Eldridge (adopted child of chris, pretty much mandatory), Independence (extra planes and passive healing), 2 auxillary bulins (special bulins that provide stockpiles of ammo, planes, and fuel for on campaign refueling and restock)

Carrier strike group one is basically chris's core force, he took inspiration from william halsey junior and added his own spin with "minesweeper chess" tactics, basically waiting for an enemy to move somewhere specific before striking, done via setting up for multiple rapid "captures" in quick succession, while moving more "pieces" for prolonged campaign

Carrier strike group five (Hornet, Long Island, Fargo, Northampton, Fletcher, Bristol, 2 auxillary bulins)

This one is more simple to explain, as the reserve core, it works on a more technical side, Fargo's drones provide up to date spotting and added attack power, Northampton covers the destroyers while they perform ASW and mine clearing measures, and Hornet, well Hornet stings with her greater focus on dive bombing, btw the reason bristol is here is because her detective nature was endearing, but it affected her refit, giving her an astoundingly effective radar system as well as ASW measures, making foggy nights her hunting hour, fletcher has a unique rigging that allows her to tag team with bristol using rocket arrows

Carrier strike group seven (Bunker Hill, Bogue, Boise, Minneapolis, Charles Ausburne, Halford, 2 auxillary bulins)

Bunker hill just happened to sign up, Bogue being the light carrier means she is a pretty good medic, but her spotting ability is amazing too, Boise is there because chris finds her adorable, plus her conversions have made her even more adorable to him, Minneapolis got the nod after new orleans got transferred because she can do pretty good hunting, Ausburne was reccomended by fletcher, and halford? well she has an airstrike capability that helps CSG7 do their main job, finding convoys, and letting battle force two handle the rest, also nighttime raids on siren installations

Battle force one (Illinois, Alaska, Constellation, Aulick, William D porter, Archerfish, Billfish, 4 auxillary bulins)

Illinois is the best battleship in eagle union as far as chris cares, she IS his daughter after all, so he's biased, but when composing the battle force, he realised that she'd need some powerful guns backing her up, enter alaska, the resident supercruiser, and constellation, the half sister of saratoga and lexington, but a fully converted battlecruiser, using twin 406mm SH cannons, able to fire the super heavy AP shells the MK 7 triple turret was made to fire, with less dispersion and more range.

The composition works as this, Illinois destroys queens and rooks, maybe even a few knights and bishops, alaska is usually doing knight/bishop duty, Aulick and WIlly D do open battle wanton destruction, the submarines do stealthy attacks and help constellation chase fleeing ships.

as for why there are 4 auxillaries, they need a lot of equipment to repair themselves away from dock, and fuel, also ammo.

Battle force two (Arizona, Pennsylvania, Constitution II (to be constructed), Gearing, Carpenter, Devilfish, Lionfish, 4 Auxillary bulins)

Arizona was put here at Illinois's request, being the other montana-type battleship, it was a no brainer anyway, sister epnn serves as arizona's backup for obvious reasons, being as hybrid she also has the unique edge of making Battle force two the designated heavy assault raiding force, usually working with CSG7 for this, now I know what you see with constitution II, whats with her?

well, chris WANTS to build her, but that damn wooden ship is still in service, and he's worried something supernatural will happen if he tries to awaken her, until constitution II is built, officially the spot is filled by delaware.

also yeah there's a lot of fletchers.....chris is refitting as many as he can because why not use the most populous class eagle union had as the basis for guided missile destroyers?

as a combined force the third fleet is fast and nimble, with unprecedented range and the firepower to back it up, but they do run into teething problems being the test bed for new technologies chris implements, but also the fact some of the force is nuclear, which means keeping up with one another is becoming a problem.

to alleviate this, chris basically put the fleet on reserve with him to allow for refits and stuff to give the non-nuclear ships improved propulsion to keep up, also better power generation, with heavy emphasis on diesel-electric power, gas turbines, pump jet propulsion, and whatever else is needed.

texas has been a real help in this, and she's worked with chris on figuring out how to take a wisdom cube and make a generator out of it, so far their own success is a rocket that is estimated to be able to go at speeds of over 40,000 KPH, but there's no way anyone would ever be interested in something that can escape earth's gravitational pull, nope, never gonna interest anyone.

not at all.
