In other words, they could stick the hat on an a RC boat and make the abyssals dance while they steal resources.

Finally, the payoff, and it only took 7 months to get here!

I mean, hey, it isn't exactly what I suggested... but close enough! I'll laugh if this causes Kongo to show up as a drop ship. But she'll still be a Ta-class in some manner, because nothing goes right with construction at this base and I don't expect their drops to be any different.

I'm not 100% sure about how Ship girl rankings and Promotions work...
But wouldn't putting the hat on the Ta class make her the new Admiral?

It'll work hilariously, whatever happens.
