That took a little but to come up. Was sort of expected thought. Akagi having originally been an Amagi-class battlecruiser. And Amagi being broken by an earthquake before they could convert her into an aircraft carrier (so instead Akagi gets Kaga...a converted Tosa-class battleship, as her partner).

Akagi and Kaga aren't "Sister"-Ships. Akagi is a Akagi-Class Ship while Kaga is a Kaga-Class Ship.
The reason their seen together is because Akagi is the only one of her fellow division members that Kaga doesn't have any petty negative feelings towards.
It kinda bothers me a bit, but what is that bottom right bubble saying? My knowledge of the alphabet says it is a "tsu" sound but I don't know enough to know what she is trying to say

That's what it literally says, yes, but I don't know either if there's any particular connotation to it.

In informal text (that is, not formal Japanese), a small っ occurring at the end of a sentence (or before some other pause like a comma) indicates a glottal stop, which sounds like a choked-off sound from the back of the throat. This is usually (especially in manga and the like) used to indicate an abrupt, cut-off articulation that is associated with surprise or anger.
A single isolated っ is preceded by an intake of air (since there is nothing else to pronounce to "cut-off"), so it winds up sounding like a sharp intake of breath that is abruptly choked off. i.e., a gasp.
