You are [[OldSoldier Admiral Settle]] of the US Navy, a survivor of one of the earliest battles against the Abyssals. You have been assigned to Yokosuka Naval Base to work with the Japanese ship girls. You are accompanied by Corporal Hate, your semi-tame Marine minion, and a small group of US Navy ship girls, ranging from [[StoicWoobie the strong and silent]] USS Arizona, to the [[TheKlutz spectacularly clumsy]] USS William D. Porter, to an entire pack of corgis (don't ask). To succeed, you won't just have to command the ship girls on missions, you'll have to help them cope with being human.

Compare Fanfic/StrikeWitchesQuest, by the same author, another quest about young girls fighting a war against supernatural foes, with a similar tone.
----
!!''Kant-O-Celle Quest'' provides examples of:
* BigDamnHeroes: The USS Iowa's introduction.
* BombDisposal: Settle removes a live 12-inch shell from Arizona's guts. The EOD techs are a little freaked out.
* BrattyHalfPint: Sammy. She has a lot of fight in her for a destroyer escort, but not an ounce of discipline.
* BullyingADragon: A Yakuza tries to make Naka an AnOfferYouCantRefuse. It doesn't end well for him.
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Yamato wears one in her first appearance.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Willie Dee normally can't hit the broad side of a barn, but at one point, while terrified out of her wits by one of Hate's pranks and firing wildly, she manages to hit every target with perfect accuracy.
** Hate also points out that, despite her failings, not a single member of her crew died when she sank, which is what really matters in the end.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: For the first part of the quest, it's not stated what exactly happened to Settle, only that he lost his ship while fighting the Abyssals.
* DoubleEntendre: Naka comes up with quite a few involving Harder's "torpedo." Also "seamen."
* EvilPhone: Goto gets a disturbing phone call from the Abyssals after they [[spoiler:capture the base on Iwo Jima]]
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: All the ship girls. Harder most notably, because he's the most recently returned.
* HeadbuttingHeroes: Harder does not like the Japanese ship girls, at all. Except for Naka, where it's more like DatingCatwoman.
* HiddenDepths: Naka isn't just "the idol of the fleet." She has good people skills, and a sharp wit that throws Harder ''completely'' off balance. Because of this, she ends up becoming Settle's secretary ship.
* HumanWeapon: All the ship girls. This is a major issue for them, as the world's navies typically view them as ships, rather than as people. The Navy even refers to the girls officially as "hulls."
** [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] when Shoukaku and Settle go to a {{Gundam}}-themed cafe. Shoukaku ponders why they gave the Gundam a human form if it's meant to be a weapon.
* TheKlutz: Willie Dee. The original USS ''William D. Porter'' accidentally launched a torpedo at the USS Iowa while the president was aboard. The kanmusu version manages to light herself on fire while trying to ''tie her shoes.''
* LilliputianWarriors: The fairies are small, but they still behave like soldiers and sailors.
* MadeOfIron: Arizona can take a 12-inch shell to the face and keep fighting.
** Corporal Hate somehow survived a torpedo going off right below him, inches from Iowa's bow. People in-story have commented on how the shockwave and internal injuries [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow should have killed him.]]
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Both Iowa (BB-4) and Iowa (BB-61) appear in the story, though not at the same time.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Sammy, described in-story as "Death Rides a DE."
* SeenItAll: Admiral Goto. He's been dealing with the kanmusu for sixteen months, and is a little more used to their antics than Settle is. He's NotSoAboveItAll, though, because he's just one man dealing with an entire fleet of kanmusu.
* ShellShockedVeteran. Arizona. She sank in a surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, which left her with a severe fear of air attacks. She also carries a handgun with her at all times.
** Settle himself has a couple of scars, both literal and metaphorical, from the battle of LA.
* SimultaneousArcs: The Battle of Los Angeles is shown three times - once from Settle's view, once from Hate's, and once from Iowa's.
* SnipeHunt: A pair of cruisers make Willie Dee go find a can of checkered paint. Settle and Goto turn the prank back on them.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Harder just ''cannot'' handle girls. It doesn't help that his target of choice is [[{Troll} Naka]]
* StoicWoobie: Arizona never speaks, but she does care deeply about Settle.
* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: To Settle's first encounter with the Abyssals.
* WarIsHell
