BTW, how would a Kanmusume burn (ref Shouhou getting 'set on fire' by dive bombers)

I'm guessing their equipment clothes get on fire? And it may have a reason, like it being a fire related with the faeries/magic etc, so it won't stop by just pouring sea water.

I was about to make a joke about the Abyssals knowing the Admirality Code, but it turns out that the "code" they were talking about is the ones they use in making actions in battle.

Arpeggio joke yay

The codes they were referring to were the codes for their communication encryptions btw.
The americans managed that during WWII and could basically listen in to every bit of communication between the Japanese ships.

That's not really true. The USN intercepted about 60% of the Japanese traffic. Of those only 40% could be analysed due to a combination of lack of time and human resources. And of that the Americans were seldomly able to make out more than 10-15% of the code groups within a transmission. However, the Americans coupled that with traffic analysis to gain an idea of which messages were most likely to be very important. So while code-breaking was a significant asset for the USN, it was hardly like reading an open book.

You don't need to read all of it, only the stuff out of the admiral's staff office. Combined with fleet movements reported by observation and a helping of educated guesses makes for the Americans to at least know where the Japanese fleets are deploying and allowing US Navy ships to be deployed to those areas to counter Japanese movements in the Pacific. It did not always work, but they usually knew something was going to any particular area.

^- Basically this.
Nevertheless their encryption codes is what the ship girls were referring to when they said ' they got our codes'

I prefer versions redone to the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 themes and sound effects.

(For one thing, this guy has the fairies voiced by Yamato's pilots).

Every episode make the married sistem pretty more lame since the anime is more yuri and proof that this girls don't have interested in boys

[Klashikari]

The anime has barely more than a third of the overall cast of the game, and that's counting cameo.
Ships that already have a "partner" are quite the minority in the game, and there isn't really any implication they are attracted by a specific gender. Even Kongou who is one of the most "aggressive" in appealing the admiral doesn't refer the latter as male or female, so both ways work.

See it like this: Imagine the ruckus in the base if the Admiral would marry more than 1 ship like you can in the game. Moreover, the bloodbath kongou would cause id she wasn't the first and only one.

He could make his life more fun by marrying :

Kitakami
Tenryuu
Kongou
Akagi
Inazuma
Shoukaku

That is 6x 2-for-1 packages.

[Ithekro]

Depending of the writer, Inazuma could be a four in one deal, as could be Kongo.

Picking up Kitakami, Tenryuu, or potentally Akagi can lead to murder. Ooi will only stand for it if Kitakami seems happy...and even then.... Tatsuta may just murder the admiral for fun. Kaga might not go for murder despite affection for Akagi...it is just that Akagi might get hungry one night and the Admiral gets eaten.
