They do that, saddly thier secret heritage has a bit of bite to it.
I somehow can't see this series ending on an overly "happy" note.

There's a line of foreshadowing in one of the episodes, something like "If Maria hadn't been born, so many fewer would've died."
So yeah, probably not a series to cheer one up.

Is this a metaphor for the male orgasm

Why do you use a Cocking Gun to spray Cock all over the tiles in your bathroom in order to birth a new room for shitting inside?!
Oh wait that's caulk...

Sometimes a gun is just a long smooth shaft that spits forth from a container at its base.

You have to wonder how they built these monsters in the first place.
I expect the construction of only one of these beast to significantly alter the price of steel on the world's markets

They figured raising students away from the mainland would create an environment that is ideal for better education and tank battles.
Seemed like a good idea at the time

I'd figured it was more to do with the ability to see the world as they grow up? I dunno, I figure if I'm going to be at a boarding school I might as well be at one that visits a new country or city every weekend.

Though it seems like they always stay, like, a few days of travel away from their home-harbor.

i was looking forward to a more concrete explanation for the ships
like i initially thought maybe there was some perpetual state of war and so they deploy lots and lots of aircraft carriers and this particular one had a military academy or something?
idk something like that

Would seem kinda idyllic for a country in an eternal war.
