I mean, it's not like the masquerade can get any more broken, so setting off that emergency beacon wouldn't be so bad...
Nope, definitely want to see this. Want to see spooky albino rageboats chained down by a middle-school aged kid in green and blasted back to the Abyss by colossal pink doombeams and gold lightning lances, want to see the miscommunication gags while each side thinks they're dealing with an odd variation on their usual thing, want to see ship-kami with bombardment spells to back up their physical guns.
Now for something a little closer to the actual purpose of the thread... Not long after the Abyssal war is won, various treaties are put in place (with heavy shipgirl backing) to mandate that shipgirls never be sent against each other or human targets, as their purpose is to defend humanity. Not a huge problem, most everyone is engaged in rebuilding and sick of fighting anyway, and even battleship appetites are negligible expenses in terms of military budgets. That does mean there's a fair few bored shipgirls sitting around though, many of them combat or at least adrenaline junkies, so they fairly rapidly get into VR gaming...
Probably not SAO, but could be Log Horizon or Overlord, and either one would be quite the genre clash. There's a fair few less well known examples of the genre too.
