Gotland is in her new Andra form, as her uniform jacket has a golden collar. Her newfound fixation on Swordfish may be due to her Andra official art depicting her with Swordfish on her new catapult launcher: post #3876595 Specifically, they appear to be the Mk. III Kai Swordfish, the artwork of which has a Gotland fairy.
Things are coming full circle here, as the main plot points (return of zuinism, Italians' vacation, Gotland's involvement) were foreshadowed in the third row of post #3863007. I still fully expect Gotland to make a power play to become the next, full-time manager of the dorm, which would be bolstered by her timely "saving the day" here, even though, in true Bond-villain style, she may ultimately be the mastermind behind this whole mess. I bet De Ruyter will have a part to play too, since she is in that same row; maybe with Bisko gone and Atlanta distracted, she could have reopened her basement casino (which may be where the Italians are). The Brits will likely have a part to play yet, as they make the timely "intervention" mentioned by Warspite in that same page.
*edit: And let's not forget Prinz Eugen; I bet she'll get her wish and be doted on by Schwester Bismark in the end, after Bismark makes her return. Maybe with another ship acting as manager, she'll have more time to spend with her fellow Kriegsmariners.
I'm glad Ido-sensei depicted the fairy pilots of the Zuiuns surviving. It seems to me they are victims in all of this, being exploited by whoever is behind this whole mess. It's not their fault a cult formed around their airplanes.

Assuming, that Prinz fired the Schwerer Gustaf (she's a crack shot with this piece post #2904176 ), she will get a headpat at least!

...Unlike in the old PvP exercises where for some reason, they could die forcing the player to train new ones. Nowadays, the pilots are perfectly safe during exercises even if the planes do get wrecked (which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever).
Interesting nugget of information for Gotland here: Gotland didn't join the base until October of 2018. Why is that important? Well Commandant Teste is seen brainwashing Richelieu into joining Zuiunism in May of 2018. In other words Gotland would have a perfect alibi for not inducting the Frenchies into Zuiunism if... well...

You really expect me to believe that the starter ship joined the base after the French ships got brainwashed?
And in that way, a festival was born to spread the faith.Indeed.
Some of the shipgirls looked upon the masterful seaplanes with adoration, even aspiration ...But to worship a seaplane is akin to something from a feverish dream.Since I just happened to be passing by, I thought I'd give them some therapy, that's all.And you always wake up from a dream at some point.What...?Don't worry, it's all for the best. Now, come back to us.When you wake up, you will forget everything that you saw in your dream.I'm going to count from 3, and then you will open your eyes.That's enough... it's okay now. It's over.It's over...!?And the one that threw the dagger and cut the ropes... that was you too, wasn't it, Got...Conversion...But I'd heard that you were a member of the Zuinists, so why...?Gotland!! ...what was that...!?What have we been doing...?Wha?But the Zuiun is supposed to be perfect... why...Incroyable... my Zuiuns, they're... they're being shot down...Well... I'm kinda into Swordfishes now!
