I might even...end up doing it differently from the TV series, but I'll need the time to put the ideas to text before anything else. I'm thinking of making it standalone, kind-of-sort-of meta (EG the ships are actually characters in a game--but not the kancolle browser game as we know it), but not sure if that will fly (or float). Will try to write somethign, hopefully will have better luck with that.

Something like that would require knowledge of at least a few divisions and squadrons (if not at least one fleet for the Japanese) and then par it against some variant of an American or other Allied Task Force. Fifth Carrier Division ran into Task Force 16 a lot. That being Shokaku and Zuikaku running into USS Enterprise and her escorts (a few heavy cruisers, maybe a light crusier, and a half dozen or so destroyers) across 1942 up to 1944 (after a fashion).

Those are generally left up to you at the moment. There presently are no Allied (American, British, French, or Dutch) ships in the game, just Japanese and a few German (though that may change in the next few months). So relationships and reactions of the shipgirls to their American counterparts is unknown.
Generally it is thought that the setting is modern or modern like. Some could see it as an alternate universe 1942-45, but the shipgirls, at least some of them, seem to have some memory of what happened to them as ships, or the spirits they represent.

Anyone here read Hieda no Akyuu's Ambience series of fics?
He's got two of them up, Ambience: Platoon (Moebius Four) and Ambience: A Fleet Symphony In both stories, in the wake of 9/11, the US Navy, in collaboration with their Japanese allies, begin developing naval weapon platforms that were compact, like the size of a human. Essentially ship-girls. However, both of these fics are alternate universes of each other. Platoon Moebius 4 is a diary of a USN Commander sent to Okinawa and tasked with commanding the fleet of ship-girls, which in this fic were made for the JMSDF, and essentially takes place in our 2014. Fleet Symphony, however, is an alternate universe, where the project was rudely interrupted when the US and Iran started chucking nukes at each other in this universe's year 2010. In addition the project was developed by the USN, FOR the USN, and a handful of the girls never made it to their final destination when the bombs fell. The story opens, in 2029, with a post-war-born waste-lander having found a lead to where one of the girls were kept, leading him to a basement in the ruined suburbs of Houston, Texas, and comes face to face with Murakumo I actually found Fleet Symphony to a very gritty spin on the franchise, despite verging into uncharted territory. Seeing the ship-girls fight as both conventional infantry, and then quickly switching to their naval roles was quite interesting too.

What we need...IS MORE CROSSING WITH ARPEGGIO! Boy, those potentially have so much fun.
In relation, I though of an antagonist fleet for both series I called the Cross. Controversially, they're American using weapons to counter out the Fog and ship girls. The drive is how America was utterly humiliated when they, the considered mightiest navy and air forces were wiped out their respective Army/Marines were cut from their homeland. purpose to reclaim and reconnect the seas and world they once lost. Because they're based off of American ships, they'd be Hero Killers. For those with Mental Models, they're made of adult fanservicey women rather than young moe girls. |

A fanfiction story with Allied shipgirls. The question would be if they crossed over with their Axis counterparts, or if they are "trapped" in their own version of events againts the Abyssal threat. If they are trapped, than the reader might assume the Abyssal are allussions to the Japanese ships (if only in the Pacific), but there versions of certain boss types would start to resemble Allied ships lost in those event battles, rather than the Japanese ships. Allied shipgirl events might not be the same events the Japanese shipgirls are faced with, or the tale it different for them. A lot of Events in the game are allusions to battles. There are two sides to every battle. A winner and a loser. Though sometimes you can be both. (Win a battle, but fail the objective. Jutland is this. The Germans won that battle based on ships sunk, but lost the objective because they still could not sail freely of the Royal Navy blockade).
Allied events would be tragic for 1942, and into 1943 it there would still be some instances of loses, but by the allusions of 1944 and 1945, the Allied shipgirl numbers are such that tragic level events are rare. The only major one I can think of in 1944 was is actually a moment of heroism and an Allied victory (Samar). Taffy 3 was overwhelmed yet basically defeated the Central Force of the Japanese Navy just by shear deturmination, courage, and I suppose psycological warfare (hundreds of planes and destroyers that charged battleships would be enough to scare even an admiral. And is this case it was a Admiral that had lost his flagship earlier and didn't want to have another one sunk out from under him that day). But if those Abyssal are to be Allied ships lost facing the Allied shipgirls. Yorktown would be the one at Midway. Arizona at Pearl. Prince of Wales and Repulse at Singapore. Four heavy Cruiser Hime at Savo. Destroyer Hime and Escort Carrier Oni and Destroyer Escort Oni at Leyte. And no torpedo cruisers.

USS Fletcher was the first of her class, commisioned less than a month after the Battle of Midway. She made it into action just in time for the Battle of Guadacanal against Hiei and Yuudachi. A month later she was denied permission to fire torpedoes at the Battle of Tassafaronga for five minutes due to the Admiral thinking the Japanese were too far away. The target ship was the Yugumo-class destroyer Takanami, who was sunk by gunfire later that night. Fletcher later rescued survivors from USS Northampton.
In 1943, Fletcher sank the submarine I-18. She later escorted the carrier groups during invasions. In 1944, Fletcher was used to partrol for submarine and support invasions with shore bombardment duties. She escorted the invasion forces to Leyte, but left the area before the Japanese fleets arrived, thus missing the Battle of Leyte Gulf. She most of the rest of the war supporting actions around the Philippines. Post-war, Fletcher was rebuilt for more anti-submarine work and reclassified as a Destroyer Escort. She served in Korea, and spent most of her career in the Pacific until decommissioned in 1969. She outlived Yukikaze by only a few years. Fletcher was sold for scrap in 1972.

I'm going to recommend The Greatest Generation by sasahara17, which is on ff.net atm.
Basically, a USN intelligence officer goes to Japan to learn more about kanmusu and figure out what's the deal with the Abyssals... but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
