so the Russians have target practice on the wall the Americans are behind. I hope the wall is sturdy enough to prevent any friendly fire incidents, and that the Russians don't get the idea of practice firing an rpg or something.

there's a secret base lol

CIA is on the treehouse.
KGB is underground.
Both can't find one another.

So Gangut is watching herself, watching herself ad infinitum?

That shit is amazing. Thank you Ido.

A Scanner Darkly plot.

I wonder which one of the Russian's garden? Those are some healthy looking sunflowers.

Also the base has suitable space for pets; what with Wojtek and Victory with their respective houses.

So until recently, Iowa got to hog an entire room for herself?

The American ships seem to have bed space issues. The destroyer room could possibly squeeze a third bed without blocking the door since it's against the farther wall, but the carriers have only a bunk bed to three people. You can't even see any beds in the battleship room from this angle.

That rather high plank swing is also unnervingly close to the spiked metal fence.

Gangut's, I suspect, given that photo of Little Gangut.

That assumes all three carriers will be in the same place at the same time. Given one of them is Gambier Bay...

So many small details. Hibiki/Verniy’s Bourgeois and Proletariat signs by the bed, the little picture of Bay is still going
> <, and of course all the characters scattered around.

... so... what would happen if the Soviet girls decides to practice with AP rounds?

Do not worry, concrete wall has small plates of Stalinium to stop inferior western armor piercing rounds. It also stops Soviet ap rounds from penetrating, unless they too are made of Stalinium.

This is glorious.

Doesn't the central heating element in the Russians' room contradict previous comics?

Why do the Russians need six different outdoor faucets, all right next to each other?

What is the orange, egg-shaped thing in a prominent display case in the basement?

Iowa appears to have Mario, Luigi and Piranha Plant figurines. Should they be tagged?

An abundance of creature comforts on the American side. I thought the Russian side was cozy, but on closer inspection, it seems the Americans just own alot more stuff.

Iowa's playing something on a console. Counter-strike or Call of Duty I guess.

And it seems they added some barbed wire since Colorado escaped. Ouch. The Americans need to up their game as far as intercepting new foreign ships if they want them to be protected.

That's a Fabergé egg. Its worth millions.
Specifically, it appears to be the "Rosebud", one of the Imperial Eggs. This one was ordered by Emperor Nicholas II for his new wife, Alexandra Feodorovna, in 1895. Presently, it is in the Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

A Fabergé egg? It looks based on Caucasus or Rosebud.

The Russian's room and the battleship room would balloon the number of tags we use in the image if we tagged everything.

That lifebuoy became a naturalized American citizen?

I want to hear to the story of how Bismarck ok'd the 1000 pounds of concrete, wheelbarrow of industrial rebar, and spool of barbed wire for the Russian dorm for them to make that concrete security barrier. Assuming its an enclosed yard, I don't think they would be able to get whole concrete panels unloaded there.

I also want to hear Iowa's opinion of how they deal with the sound of gunfire while swimming.

Hmm, guess now that Colorado is Iowa's official roommate we won't get anymore nerdy Iowa considering she's keeping that aspect of herself on the down-low.

Well any Russian ship or POW in Russian hands will have to go past the American rooms to get to the wash room on the other side of the American destroyers room.

Iowa was there first of this lot.

You just have to admire the amount of work and detail that went into this picture, honestly.

Who says Colorado isn't one (or won't become one)

I think he's just become listed as Gambier Bay's pet. He just shows up kinda like a neighborhood cat

Saratoga knew about this, so I figure that's just a side she didn't want the Reds to see.

Trying to hide that side of herself from Colorado is a lost cause with that room.

And of course the American is playing a violent video game where you shoot innocent people.
She's probably preparing to shoot up a school.

Got to be prepared when one goes to Alaska to hunt loli Abyssal with Nagato.

Not going to lie, shocked that the Americans don't have the firing range but the Russians do.

Russian range is for firing squad practice.

After the Colorado incident, the Russians had installed barbed wire on their walls.

Not gonna lie, that tree house looks pretty awesome.

She must be playing 8Chan.

This is a pretty darling dorm setup! Maybe my university could learn a thing or two from this!

& how in the world has Iowa been getting away with having a room of her own all this time? Doesn't seem fair to all the other yankee ships. XD

I wouldn't mind more of these really. The room cutaway art with where the shipgirls are staying at this base.

When an artist goes to the trouble of utilizing proper perspective drawing techniques, the least y'all could do is recognize that fact and not just tag it isometric.

Now we wonder what the European Fleets' rooms will look like...

One assumes they were class-separated, so without another American BB, Iowa had the room to herself.

(Or that they filled up individually at first, but then became by class)

This begs a few questions, assuming that’s the original piece:

1. Why/How does Gangut have it?
Did the museum send it to her for safe keeping, or maybe because she’s literally an embodiment of imperial Russia.

2. How would Hibiki and Tashkent react if they knew Gangut had that?
It’s literally one of a kind, so Gangut can’t bribe Hibiki by giving her one of her own. And Tashkent would have a heart attack if she knew Gangut possessed such a symbol of royal opulence.

I imagine that the US girls are all real good friends and just crash in each other’s rooms half the time.

Makes one wonder if anyone was assigned to these rooms when Iowa arrived? Because it was a while before Sara or Gangut arrived, and the other carriers and destroyers were even later (Hibiki would still have been with Division Six Destroyer at that time). For around six months it was just Iowa.

If you need a gun to hunt a loli, you're doing it wrong.

Looks more like she's watching Iowa, the cap looks more Iowa's size, and on a b/w TV they look similar from the back.

Is that...Shimakaze’s outfit on the shelf? Guess Tashkent put it far far away. Man, I keep finding things.

Standard Soviet industrial/infrastructural practice. If you build six of something, odds are at least one of them will work at any given time.

Wait so all this time Iowa gets an entire room to herself? Wow, such luxury...

Pretty sure there is a third bed for saratoga alone and the bunks are for the younger carriers with intrepid on the bottom

Wait, I just realized...

Fletcher has room allocated for her in the destroyer dorms yet she isn't shown anywhere else in the picture and we haven't seen any indication that ido "rescued" her yet.

The Russian House's three beds are Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear, with Wojtek sometimes playing Goldilocks, blowing everyone's mind.

As for when anybody moved in, <sighs> you will have to ask Gotland, she was there from the beginning...
