Requiem for Battleship Musashi

Description

This is for the challenge "I Challenge You! v2" I was challenged by Mrs-Durden, who challenged me to "Photograph a funeral scene with your dolls/figurines"

From this challenge, I decided to use my Kantai Collection girls - since they're based on (in this case) Japanese Navy ships I figured I could use the date Musashi sank as my guide (October 24 1944). I have decided to make Yamato my main focus here, as she was Musashi's 'sister' ship and therefore, immediate family.

So, here I have put together a funeral service by the sea for Musashi - I figured since she is technically a ship, there is no coffin. Since flowers are often placed on coffins, I instead decided Yamato could be placing flowers onto the sea.
Yamato is mourning the loss of her sister with support from the IJN Ships behind her; Haruna, Kongo, Kumano, Kitakami & Amatsukaze. These six ships were then subequently sunk within the 13 months following Musashi's sinking.

Long story short, I hope I met the requirements of my challenge :tardgrinn:

Nobody cares for a Sunkern Ship but a Marine Artillery-equipped Girl?
