I don't know how either the belt or the bandage stayed on or up - and even the thought of ice cream seems to repair Iowa quickly.

I'd only if was this cheap and easy to repair her.

I actually was able to get my hands on one of them gold spoons. Ice Cream entered a whole new dimension of amazing taste.
Btw how the hell is this a stereotype, everyone loves Ice Cream?

Well, the US did heavily invest in ice cream during the war. The US Navy even had ice cream dispensers on their capital ships, Iowa included.

Was wondering that myself. What kind of commie doesn't like ice cream?

Well ice cream had a vital role in the Pacific War (talking about hot weather in the Tropics). The USN had ice cream barge, which sole purpose is to distribute ice cream in the field, while the IJN had Mamiya and Irako and the famous Mamiya Ice Cream.

Careful now Iowa don't want to binge yourself too much otherwise all that help from Nagamon and Mamiya to lose weight would be for naught.

I wonder if Iowa would mind sharing that bucket...

Yup. Amazing what ice cream does for morale with 18 hour work days in very hot conditions.

How many Mamiya tickets worth is it?

Well according to this pilot's account, its not wrong.

Wow, as an American I don't know if I should be offended by this or not. I mean, come on its ice cream, Who doesn't love that?

It's not exactly difficult to do. We Americans are creatures with simple pleasures.

I thought Iowa would need a bucket of Mountain Dew for her repair.

Get her a KFC bucket.

True. In fact, US carriers had a policy of giving ice cream to the crews of destroyers that rescued their pilots, which would be perfect fodder for one of the most diabeetus-inducing scenes in all of Kancolle history.

Ice cream is serious goddamn business.

Speaking about ice cream...What flavor do you think Kongou put inside the bucket?

Sure, you can choose to cut, if you don't mind the morale hit to your men.

I Could See it as A bunch of Destroyers Holding a Pilot fairy hostage and Demanding a Ransom to be paid of 10 gallons of ice Cream if they ever want to see the Avenger again.

Couldn't get alcohol on ships, so to a sailor in the middle of the Pacific, ice cream did mean something.

Japanese get high quality repair drugs.
Americans get Ice Cream.

Sort of like how in 80s and 90s cartoons the American would be drinking foaming mugs of orange juice, or spring water, while in other countries it was beer and sake.
