    I can't wait for the translation on this. Maryland is probably my favorite design out of the second group.

    So what happened to the English version of Vol. 1? I didn't follow it too closely. I want all of these in print.

    She looks nice! Her hair and outfit remind me of Haguro, who is also quite nice-looking. :-)

    Morgaine says it's being worked on, and one of the bigger obstacles is that independent printing is...a little more of a hassle stateside than it is in China or Japan (where the other team members on the project are and print their respective language versions).

    Ah ok, good to hear that it's still in the works at least.

    Huh, translation is interesting. Less about her than about the nature of the girls in general, even moreso than Enterprise's.

    BEST BB
    Also, as a Marylander, I do have to correct something.
    We don't roast our crabs. We steam our crabs. Roasted blue crab sounds like god damn heresy.

    *The signature dish on board of Maryland. Old Bay seasoning is on par with seafood seasonings secretly developed by KFC.
    *Maryland in Leyte Gulf Battle determined shooting distance by the splashes made by shots of other battleships.
    *Slang in Maryland state expressing surprise or exclamation.
    Comments from STEC: Maryland of the Colorado-class is the first batch of battleships in the American Navy to be armed with 16-inch cannons. Basically, she is an upgraded version of the Tennessee-class, and also the last batch of battleships built before WWII*. The double twin-turret structure made them recognizable within a glance. On the 7th of December (1941), Maryland stopped right at the inner side of Oklahoma. In this case, Oklahoma took the first wave of torpedo attacks for Maryland, allowing full utilization of Maryland's anti-air firepower. Albeit so, Maryland was still hit by 2 bombs. Later, Maryland, as the least damaged ship in the Pearl Harbor Attack, sailed out of Pearl Harbor with Tennessee together tenaciously. She, who was nicknamed "Fearless Mary", became the first battleship to return to war after the Pearl Harbor Attack in a few months by providing support in Battle of Midway. Although her speed was too slow to be able to catch up with the fast carrier fleets, the Navy had other missions for Maryland. She joined other battleships to patrol between Fiji Island and Australia to secure the Australian coast. After the victory in the Solomon Islands in 1943, she started to execute missions of near-field firepower support. In the Battle of Tarawa, she received very positive acknowledgement by escorting the Marine Corps. Later, she joined the majority of warfare in the Pacific War. Before the war ended, she joined the Battles of Kwajalein Toll, Saipan, Leyte Gulf (including Surigao Strait) and Okinawa Island. Finally, Maryland safely retired after receiving 7 Battle Starts. Her bell was made into a monumental plaque in Annapolis, Maryland, quietly commemorating the past till now. Careful, calm, adapt at thinking, STEC points out that Maryland shows a rational and steady attitude. Like West Virginia, Maryland keeps a low profile. Compared to idle chatting, she'd rather spend time helping others or working at the base. Albeit so, we can find that she has an extraordinary depth of knowledge about everything even through simple conversations. Her specialist topics include Theology, Politics, Philosophy and Ethics. STEC thinks that these are beyond the understanding of normal people, not even the interest. Furthermore, Maryland's behavior shows an internal maturity. Even when eating roasted blue crab on a table in summer, or crowding upon a steaming oyster stew on a winter night, she keeps her speech mannered. *See note below.
    So as you know, Commander, I have always tried to figure out what am "I". "I" possess a lot of memories, but I'm not whether the memories belong to "me". I have been dreaming in my sleep these few years since my awakening. I went to a whole new world, and met people I have never known. You know what? I have a family in those dreams. No, not just my shipgirl sisters or you guys of STEC, but in those memories in dreams I have my own children, grandparents, husbands, and even wives. This doesn't follow any logic. So, can you understand if I say that the dreams are both a part of me, and not a part of me? My guess is that these experiences, memories and such belong to the people who shared their destiny with Maryland in history, and also a part of me. All these experiences combined together, become the girl in front of you. Perhaps that's me. Hmm, I'm quite satisfied with this initial conclusion. I'll take my homeland as an example, Commander. I think you must have been there, as the army school of Navy is there. My homeland has a nickname of "Little America". Annapolis had once been the capital of America, and countless historical events have happened in this place. There are masses of seaweed on the eastern shores of Maryland brought by the seawater, a swamp connecting to the sea near Chesapeake Bay, seemingly endless plains and oak forests on Piedmont Plateau, crowding pine trees on the western mountains. All sorts of scenery in America can also be found in Maryland. Thus, Maryland cannot be described in one word, nor can you describe America in one sentence.
    *The next battleships built by the American Navy were the North Carolina-class in 1941.
    Comments from authors: - November: The originally intended name for Maryland should be Marilyn. I found out after some research in history, that the name Marilyn was in memory of Henrietta Maria of France, spouse of Charles I of England. This king had complicated links with religion throughout his life, while Henrietta Maria was also a Catholic. Thus, Maryland became this look slightly resembling a priestess with a spear. One more note: I frankly loved the appearance of Colorado-class battleships very much! Kudos! - Morgane: Shipgirls named after states are usually the butt of a lot of jokes, so we had some intersting gives and takes on the character design. Do you know that knight dueling is an official sport of this state? - Zeroblaze: Although I have a lot to say, but with limited space, I'll simplify my words here - as Chinese, we seldom put beliefs and religions together. In November's speech, Henrietta Maria was named "Queen Marilyn", for unknown reasons.
    Introduction: May peace be with you, Commander. Please feel comfortable and call me Mary. I'm also trying to adapt, like you. Not only to the environment, but I'm also clueless about myself. "What am I?" is a question that have bothered me since I have my own conscience. Some Japanese scholars said that we shipgirls are gods in Japanese traditions, spirits that belong to the nature. But I beg to differ. Do you know why? I have very "humane" perception. I can feel, and know what humans should feel. The nervousness of Admiral Hill on Maryland when leading the battle of Tarawa; the happiness of crews being able to return to home; our resistance amidst the fire of Leslie Short. I still remember these vividly today. Iron and steel, like those gods, carry no emotions nor morals, Commander. Now that I have my own body of flesh and emotions, how can I be a god?
    Treating me (or us shipgirls) as gods or angels, I think this is actually something to avoid. Putting us in ivory towers can only cause misunderstandings and potent problems. I hope everyone will describe us with least color and emotions as possible. Commander, please treat us as "humans". I hope to know more about you too in the future.
