Inner World
"Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea."
For many Jin's inner world would be an absolute nightmare. An expanse of terrifyingly flat water that ends only where the golden horizon begins. Any sight or sign of land is lost in this world of water while the only signs of life are those found upon the decks of the ships drifting aimlessly in the void.
Three seafaring vessels have been moored together by thick rope, and hardly stable planks are the only means of traversing between the three.
When Jin enters his inner world he often times finds himself onboard the HMS Victory, a 104-gun Man-Of-War. Having served in the Royal Navy, and on the HMS Victory herself, Jin intimately knows each piece of wood and sail that comprise her 3,550-ton self.
Moored just to the right of the HMS Victory is the very first ship Jin ever Captained, the Geobukseon; a Turtle Ship. Though smaller and boasting far fewer guns than the HMS Victory, the Geobukseon flourishes an astoundingly sturdy outer hull with a nigh impenetrable wood and steel "shell" protecting her deck. Hye, as he came to name her, served him well during his time in the Korean Navy.
The last and most out of place of these ships is the Akula; a typhoon-class Submarine. By far the largest seafaring vessel Jin as ever had the pleasure of serving, the Akula was the last ship he's had the privilege of Captaining.
Jin's Inner World is indicative of his state of mind. A peaceful mind is made clear by the gentle lull of the sea, and sudden appearance of all too noisy seagulls circling the masts. Exhaustion or depression is made evident by the low hanging sails and flags, with darkened skies from a quickly setting sun. Uncertainty, or a feeling of loss, brings about the most drastic of changes. All three ships drift apart until none are within sight of one another and the clouds overhead gather in threat of an approaching storm.
Shikai Power
Jin's release power, specifically, proves to be as versatile as Kido itself. The simplest way to explain Jin's release is to call it an extension of the Kido he employs. Each ship immortalized within his Inner World embodies one of the three Kido styles, and through them is this Kido augmented.
When deciding to employ the use of this power, Jin designates a form of Kido he wishes the power to personify; Hado, Bakudo, or Kaido. Each designation results in a different manifestation but does not alter the basic fundamentals of his power.
Under the Hado designation, Jin's power is represented by a phantasmal version of the HMS Victory. This Man-Of-War symbolizes pure dominance through destruction, just as Hado itself. It's cannons mimic any Hado Jin incants, replicating it over a dozen times across its many gundecks before unleashing them upon a greater area with devastating effect.
When designated for use under Bakudou, Jin's power is represented by a phantasmal Geobukseon. This Turtle Ship symbolizes an impregnable defense, just as the barriers of Bakudou do. It's hull and shell armor linger over Jin, acting as a natural barrier that can be further fortified by the myriad of barrier spells Bakudo possesses.
Lastly, when designated for use under Kaido, Jin's power is represented by a ghostly version of the Akula. This submersible proved critical in the aid and rescue of countless ships lost or damaged at sea, just as the healing spells of Kaido. It lurks just beneath the ground, patiently awaiting Jins command to attend to his allies. Through it Kaido, at an increased exhaustion cost, is used at far greater distances.
This power has clearly defined limitations and drawbacks, however. Jin can proclaim no more than a single designation per release, preventing him from using more than just one of his vessels at a time. Furthermore, should he deem it necessary to change his designation, he would need to reseal his Zanpakutō and release it under a new designation. This, of course, requires substantial amounts of time to perform.
Beyond these limitations are those imposed by the bond between Shinigami and Spirit. The Kido used through these ships can never exceed the Resonance ranking. For instance, Master Level Hado could never be used through the HMS Victory without Master or better Zanpakutō Resonance.
Changing the above, currently approved portion of my power, to the following-

All I've done is remove the Kaido portion of the power, and changed sentence structuring to fit with there now being two ships rather than three.
