Holy smoke, this Operation is so absurd it's hilarious!

First off, its only historical counterpart is the voyage of the Second Pacific Squadron except in reverse and THAT was not only Russian but hilariously botched. Secondly, the premise itself is a bit on the absurd side as well. Sending a massive Japanese task force across the Indian Ocean to clear the Suez of Abyssal forces? Fair enough. Moving on with this supposed Task Force led from Japan and then clearing out Malta and the bloody ''Dover Strait?!! Okay, where the hell is the Royal Navy, because they're not exactly strapped for shipgirls what with sending Warspite to Japan just for opening shipping lanes, why can't they get off their duffs to defend their own home turf''!

And no, don't tell me the US is being just as needy, something obviously went horribly wrong with their attempts to summon shipgirls because they had to go begging to the Japanese in order to liberate Midway Island, Pearl Harbor, and f'ing Bikini Atoll! The first two I can accept on the basis of the Abyssals' baffling tendency to try to re-create history but if the Americans wanted to take out the Abyssals at Bikini Atoll, why didn't they bring ships like, Nevada, Independence, Pennsylvania, New York, Pensacola, or hell, even Laffey? The obvious answer to that is that for some reason, they don't have them.
