Line 9:
In one universe, Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu reunite at a certain staircase, and their story ends.
In another, Uileag Greer and Ayaka Godai discover that theirs is not over yet. Aquatic hostiles codenamed "abyssals" emerge to wage war on mankind, while warships of old return in human form to defend us. Ayaka is thrust into the spotlight when she learns that she is really the "Natural Born" reincarnation of USS ''Iowa'' (BB-61), specifically the ''[[Pacific: World War II U.S. Navy Shipgirls]]'' version thereof, and is forced to struggle with what this means both for herself and those around her.

{{Needs More Tropes}}
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Most Natural Borns retain their original names, which are normal-for-their-culture ones like Alice or Ayaka. This is contrasted against the Summoned/Manifested who use their ship names rather than bothering to adopt human ones, and many of said names are things not normally used as names.
* [[Arc Words]]: "Only just a little more."
* [[A-Team Firing]]: Normal weapons have difficulty hitting abyssals.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[Flashback Echo]]: Ayaka starts regaining her memories after seeing incoming shells that remind her of falling comet fragments.
* [[Foreshadowing]]:
** Ayaka is warned
** She is also warned then about not being able to save everyone, long before it becomes an issue.
** Chapter Four also mentions "friends [giving] themselves over to an ideal far beyond reason and [losing] themselves in the process". Certain reveals later...
* [[Four Is Death]]:
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: Ayaka gives Uileag the full three-name treatment in Chapter Three out of her [[Anger Born of Worry]].
* [[Fusion Fic]]: This world sees the events of an [[Alternate Universe]] ''[[Your Name]]'' happen in the backstory and it progresses into the abyssal attacks and returning shipgirls of ''[[Kantai Collection]]''.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: The abyssals want to genocide Japan to avenge the 30 million dead and war crimes. Bad enough. They also want to exterminate the USA for failing to exterminate Japan the last time, and see any other country that fought in World War II but is now helping Japan as [[Les Collaborateurs]] who must also be destroyed unless it does a [[Heel Face Turn]] (from their perspective) and turns against Japan.
* [[History Repeats]]:
** Once again, an attack on Pearl Harbor is begun with a command to climb a mountain.
** The sinking of {{spoiler|Takanami occurs in the Solomon Islands from an attack led by Northampton, but not before she plays a vital part in the counterattack.}}
** The sinking of {{spoiler|Yamashiro occurs in Filipino waters}} once again, though also
* [[Homage]]: In Chapter Three, an unknown voice delivers an adaptation of the G-Man's speech from ''[[Half-Life]] 2''.
* [[Inelegant Blubbering]]: {{spoiler|Uileag}} crying in Chapter 39 is explicitly described as "loudly and uglily".
