^Amen to this,

If you needed to use sacrificial ship to clear E-4, that's your decision, but it personally feels good to have completed the event without needing to resort to the one tactic where the game straight up confirms your girls die.

Sure, there's a lot of fanart and speculation about how horrible the realities of scrapping and modernization would be if the girls were actually fully their ships from cannibalization to lobotomies.

That said, those systems are built in as mandatory parts of the game (required in the case of modernization). I refuse to believe that the devs of a game about collecting and training cute ship girls would make those systems with some sadistic, terrible intent in mind, so the idea that you scrap/combine their equipment sounds just fine to me.
