What sort of technology even allows for ships that huge?
I had a thought that maybe the rest of he world shrank and everything we see is like 1/72 scale except the ships which are normal sized, but that can't work. Not with everything fuctioning properly anyway.

At least they don't appear to have war [Edit] My Japanese isn't quite up to scratch: do they ever mention the ship's main power source at any point in third OVA?

In that scene, Yukari is crying more to the onions than to anything that's happened actually. It was only really in the previous scene with the tents that the girls made her cry (the nerve of them! )

As for raw versions I've got nothing. I'm not in the know about where those things come from or where they can be found, so anyone's guess is as good or better than mine.

Let's face it: Yukari is living the life we all wish we had. Wake up, go to school, afterschool Tankraft practice, military reenactments...
Damn, I wish my school was as win.

My apologies for breaking the flow of things, but a little bird told me that if I were to go to the links below, I would come across a large cache of screenshots from the OVAs. There are quite a number of them (forty across the two OVAs), so I can't post them all here Naturally, spoilers follow, so click at your own discretion.
Spoiler for Off-site links to screenshots:

Yukari's mistake is obvious, but if Miho was reading the atmosphere and seeing everyone already happily setting up those WWII German tents, she'll have kept that modern tent well stowed... Fortunately, it is Oarai, everyone is enormously nice, and the Tankery team is a bit off anyway, so it all ends well... |

For example: - Do they have countermeasure in case of pirate/terrorist attack and take over the ship? - What will they do if they found a big Strom approching?

1) A storm? Nothing. With the ship that ridiculously large, it'll ride the waves extremely well. Structural strength is a problem, but it is clear they have the super-materials to compensate. The overall experience will be a city in a storm, and for the guys working in the bowels, even less.
2) Common wisdom says there's no defense that can't be penetrated but mostly I'll pity the poor terrorists. Their job would be equal to taking over an entire city (not just a school). Assuming they have modern firefighting equipment similar to warships, if terrorists hole up in any internal compartment it can be flushed with Halon-like volumetric firefighting chemicals that will kill them without bulky, conspicuous breathing kits. Even if they do have breathing masks they will find it nearly impossible to walk as the AFFF systems flood the space with a soapy mix of water. And they'll be facing tanks with carbon armor and rounds whose only apparent "non-lethal" modification is to reduce the fragmentation component (if anything, the blast component seems increased...) If I'm a terrorist, I'll try and find a softer belly to attack. |
