So lets break down what the "girls" actually are. I've seen them portrayed as huge mecha girls and regular girls wielding magic of some sort just to start.

Did the girls have a life before they inherited the inanimate ships "spirit"?

What are the actual range of ages of the biological girls and who thought it was a good idea and humane to send such young women off to war?

Maybe they're robots/androids or cyborgs.

They could be sex bots from the future adapted to fight in war made to think and react how a certain warship does. With a little fairy dust. Also men are mostly dead so it was a good use for the bots.

First of all, there can only be shipgirls not shipboys because the rigging will only attach to their bodies if the XX chromosomes are present. It won't work with an Y chromosomes/only one X chromosome.
Second, (at least from the looks of it) the shipgirls are aged between ~10 and ~25. Around 10 years old is when most of the white matter of the brain is developed, which is what stores memories. And around 25 years old is when grey matter which controls consciousness, intelligence etc finishes developing. So one can assume that in order to be that.... thing, you must first be a girl because of reasons already explained AND your brain's white matter must be developed but not your gray matter.
Now, personally, I see them as humans. A technology that very well could support the fact mere girls can carry the riggins is that... it's not that they are actually carrying the riggings. But rather it stays a float by some sort of supermagnetic belt around their waist. That's also the concept behind Green Lantern by the way, they can lift shit around with their rings because they're super magnetic materials.
I don't think they have any family or friends besides their sister ships, TTK and other shipgirls, which is good, because you are TTK.
As for skating on water, plenty of bugs do the same thing, you just have to make that technologically on a larger scale.
The one thing that doesn't make any sense though is why do they need conventional shepps and torpedoes to take down the abyssals. It makes sense to use shipgirls because they're smaller and will be more agile in combat, but why can't they just drop bombs from long range missiles or at least use fighter jets instead of ww2 propeller planes? I don't know, maybe abyssals have some kind of defense technology that blocks all missiles, making only conventional shells and torpedoes effective. But then again, a torpedo is technically a missile and there are modern torpedoes with all kinds of features to them....

If they're XXY will it work? What about if they're XXX? Will it not rig to them if they're XY but they failed to respond to/don't produce androgens and so developed as a female? If that does, what happens if they hit puberty and their androgens start working and they start developing more male traits?

The non existence of a Turner's syndrome shipboy suggests it to be impossible.

Probably Yamato because she's tall.

Why would they develop rigging that only did that?

This series seems just... A little silly.

From what little I know about this game, there are also "fairies" that pilot planes and shit. What are they? Are they human sized and the girls giant or are they like actual enslaved fairies sent to fight with them?

>Did the girls have a life before they inherited the inanimate ships "spirit"?
In my imagination and what I see, they're genetically engineered girls who are like supersoldiers that are designed to fight and beat up Abyssals.
>What are the actual range of ages of the biological girls
Since they're genetically engineered (in my imagination) their lifespan would be quite long but they won't age but their health would deteriorate once their lifespan is about to end.
>who thought it was a good idea and humane to send such young women off to war?
They're genetically engineered to fight against the Abyssals for the future of mankind and war doesn't have words such as "humane". Their purpose to live is to fight for our species survival. They are living weapons that can think and have feelings.

they're just girls with spirits of old ships and they attach rigging equipment. What the do isn't actually war but more of a cleanup or security job

the problem with most nicolive streamers are they value their 5 minute fame and "niconico code of honour rules" over rare ships with rare equipment, which he could have saved if he listened to the viewers

I think I read in an interview a very long time ago that fleet girls were formerly regular girls and when you scrap / modernize them they turn into their equipment and return to their regular lives.

I always thought that concept was really dumb.

There's quite a few doujins/lns that use the theory of girls inheriting souls of ships. It actually ties in somewhat nicely with in game mechanics ie. multiple ports/admirals, ship girls knowledge of modern life, constructing ship dupes, etc.

[Anonymous No.]

My take on the shipgirls is that each individual shipgirl is sorta a gestalt of everything that went into any given ship- the iron, steel and coal, everything about the crew, all their hopes and dreams, as well as the emotions the ship builders put into it, as well as what the people back home and the enemy thought about the ship- when the boat sank, all of that started slowly merging together into something sorta like a tsukogami but not quite, more human, into a soul where the core of their self is "I am [THIS SHIP]". It's at this point the ship begins to manifest itself back as either a shipgirl or an abyssal. -Fairies tend to be particularly notable people from the gestalt, who are still part of the shipgirl as a whole but are still sooorta like how they were in life.

Abyssals and shipgirls are two sides of the same coin- if the viewpoint the new gestalt soul has is more optimistic then they'll come back as a shipgirl, if they're full of hate envy and malice they'll end up as an abyssal.

Ships can flip sides- if a shipgirl gets out of it and thinks that the worlds shit and not worth anything etc, they'll start slipping into abyssalhood.

Those are rarer than the main way it happens though, which is sinking. When a shipgirl or abyssal sinks, it's basically just shattering apart their soul gestalt, which begins to start piecing it back together, in a way thats part natural, part random chance and part subconciously directed, all centred around the core of "I am this ship". This shattering can end up changing the outlook of a ship enough for the ship to flip sides and becomes whichever one of bote or abyssal it wasnt. But that's rarer than them coming back on the same side, usually missing a load of memories, heavily traumatised, and often with their personality being a bit different as a different aspect of the gestalt has taken the frontline part.

Abyssals fight because they're jealous of the living, shipgirls fight because they think it's worth protecting.

Shipgirls arent particularly well understood as magic bullshit goes on, and they're treated fairly well because of them being protectors of people and also because magic bullshit best to stay on the safe side. Nobody actually knows if they properly age like people or has any idea of what to do with them if they ever manage to wipe out the abyssals.

I wanna make an abyssal find happiness and stop hating humans without turning her into a ship girl, always felt pity for them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17615781
I suppose in that model there is potential for an abyssal to start shifting back to the good side without being sunk and reforming, it would just be harder as to become an abyssal rather than just edgy shipgirl they'd already have enough hate and such in their hearts to want to start killing people.

I do agree that the abyssals are the best part though, especially their designs.

Zombies don't have emotions, abysssals are too close to a normal girl to be considered one.
Besides, a shipgirl is cute and all but they don't make me feel an urge to take her to safety nearly as hard.
