I like how her eyes turned empty in the third panel.

I remember the story being referenced in Doraemon, once.

Pretty depressing stuff.

Heh, the title of the book is かわいそうなせんかん, roughly "The poor battleship". It sounded fun until I googled to know what it's parodying and found that it likely was https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/かわいそうなぞう aka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithful_Elephants

When this was drawn the first time, I thought Akatsuki went blank because she couldn't read it either. If it's actually meant to be a variant on "Faithful Elephants", that makes it an entirely different thing. Akatsuki is a good oneesama.

So the admiral wasn't being shitty all this time?

In the previous version that book had no title. Maybe the artist saw the chance to add another meaning, hence the redraw :3
