Does Algérie's new art still include knives?
This matter is of utmost importance, and a potential deal-breaker.

VICTORY BELLES LAUNCHES THIS YEAR.

Didn't you say the same last year?
And the year before that?

and the actress’ heritage is Spanish (and connected to Canarias herself!)

By that, you mean she's from the actual Canary Islands?
Then she's speaking the canarian dialect, I guess...
Before, when I was giving some more thought to it, and attempting to make Google's text-to-speech sound like that, my guess was it might be someone speaking the andaluz dialect(up to this point, I wasn't even aware there was such a thing as a canarian dialect)
Given what the wiki says, it seems I wasn't too off the mark, all things considered.

Either way, neither of them is "standard" Spanish, and definitely NOT the way you'd expect an aristocrat to speak.

Regarding Google's text-to-speech, if you want to try for yourselves, here are the lines:

These are the lines in "standard" Spanish:

Que alguien eche un vistazo al sónar!

Sencillamente, me niego a perder esta batalla.

And here is what I used to make it sound like Canarias' lines:

Quelguien eche un vistaso el sónar!

Sensiamente, me niego a perde esta bataia.

You can paste them on Google translate and compare.

I cannot really say about the others, but I can assure the lines spoken by Canarias are definitely not from a native speaker.

While not exactly relevant to the update itself, when I looked up USS Panay, I also found the actual island of Panay, and with it I found something rather uncanny.

This is the island of Panay:

Now, compare its general shape to... this:

Coincidence? I THINK NOT SO!!!!

I'd argue the shield is too small

Also, the spear is too short, and the sword is laughably small(but don't tell her I said that)

I'd say that's likely a deliberate decision by the artist, so those elements don't clog up too much of the picture.

So... anyone got any idea who that [Redacted] is?

If we're gonna go just on namesakes, I say HMS Hector and this other one have some solid chances(?) The former even being part of the Royal Navy too.

If it's something related to the history of the ships themselves then...

I feel kinda terrified for some reason

You can argue out of it(if you so desire) by pointing that she's not exactly dressed as "Sinterklaas" (and considering what she's actually wearing, I'd hesitate to say she is "dressed" at all)
Biggest argument being the "Santa" hat instead of a Mitre, among others.

I see the test run of the new torpedoes was successful.

interesting if that's true then belles should be able to have children. If they want to perhaps we will see Demi-belles. Hopefully a happy ending for all

But please do go on(?)

I wonder how would belles feel about being converted into civilian ships after the war

For all we know, they could very well just disappear after the war ended, their mission being over, and being no longer needed.

Next will be a belle running for president.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

This is very important.

Will the Bunny Belles from this other topic be on this same line?

I somewhat expected that to be more like a floofy easter bunny-like costume.

I would love to see that question answered by the europeans Béarn and Ark Royal. 

Implying poor Béarn(who genuinely believes a battleship-carrier hybrid is a good idea) is an expert on aircraft combat...

I'd love to see her again what she has to say on the matter tho.

I must say...

I never really paid much attention to it, but... for being a submarine, Nautilus has some... elements that make her hydrodynamics rather questionable.

Not once in the entire doujin was there a "torpedo breaching the hull" metaphor...

I still can't decide if that's a good or a bad thing...

"D-don't get the wrong idea. This is only to boost the crew's morale.
It's not like I wanted to see you wearing this or anything." º//_//º

...fine then.

Let it be Canarias, but she must look like she totally hates it, and is regretting her choice of captain.

Well...

I don't think just ANY belle could(or more specifically, would) wear a maid uniform...

If he's hunting heretics, better hope he doesn't have any of the Spanish belles with him. Nobody will expect them.

No, that would be meta gaming since the joke wasn't there in '39. 

You are getting it wrong.
Nobody would expect the Spanish belles because Spain was not involved in WWII.
Duh.

Mickey Mouse, not Tweety? XD

Tweety didn't exist in 1939.

I have a sort of strange request.

Can someone draw Canarias, but wearing a big, baggy Mickey Mouse shirt? Even if it's over the uniform(?)

Thanks.

That I can think of right now...

Why did Hitler kill himself?
 

Unfortunately, most of the jokes I've heard don't really translate well...
