So I settled on an appearance and started looking for ships to go alongside it, stumbled upon the Kagerõ-class destroyers, thought Yukikaze was a nice name and then found out it was the only ship of that type that didn't sink.

Funny coincidence to say the least.

Anyway, I've come around to being pretty on-board with this, but I haven't seen much of the source material. I checked out the first episode to get some grip on the setting, and the fog weapons and tools section now makes a lot more sense to me, but I'm still unfamiliar with the setting at large. The main girl had a complete memory wipe and a single command to start the show's plot hook with, which doesn't give me much insight on the fog fleet itself.

Could I get a primer on how the fog fleet operates, and some possible reasons as to why a mental model would defect from the Admiral Code? I've looked up the latter too, but afaik it's just another AI girl that just happens to be the thing they all listen to if/when she shows up.

At the very least I've got a good grip on what my character's personality would be like after that first episode.
