** Super heavy shells also have very tight spread and small splash range. On one hand this means they are all more likely to hit the same place and deal damage to the same target. On the other hand this makes them horribly inaccurate against even reasonably mobile targets. This makes using her in PvP a gamble. If she targets the back line then she's pretty much guaranteed to wreck face. If she targets the front line... that shot is pretty much wasted as she likely won't even be able to hit the constantly-moving front line ships. This also applies to most enemy shipgirls in PvE as well. The first main gun mount benefits from time dilation making it much more accurate but the second and third mounts will have a very hard time hitting moving shipgirls.

* JackOfAllTrades: Bordering on AwesomeButImpractical. Kearsarge represents the logical evolution of the Aviation Battleship concept in the game, after both the ''Fusous'' and the ''Ises'' are considered underwhelming. At maximum development level, she has strong firepower and aviation stats, has Main Gun Mount + 3 (the same as regular battleships which means she can deal more damage), special ghost secondary gun for defense against explosive boats, and equips ''fighters'' rather than specific planes like the Japanese BBVs. This means that she can be kitted to adapt to the enemies you want her to fight (and with the advent of "rocket" fighters, this makes her easier to set up for single targets). Her main downside is her rather slow reload, which affect both her guns and aircraft (the slow airstrike reload being an issue with other [=BBVs=]).

-->"The indomitable Black Dragon isn't some hotel that sits on the sideline while her friends are in trouble!"[[note]]The ''Yamato'' was derisively known as "Yamato Hotel" due her relatively luxurious living acomandations and the fact that she almost never left port.[[/note]]

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: While Gibbs and Cox actually offered Design B to the Soviets and and the US, they never went far beyond design sketches because President Roosevelt banned the US shipbuilders from producing more than 45,000 ton battleships to the Soviets and Kremlin pretty much refused the offer after a 5-day review.

* {{Bokukko}}: Their preferred first-person pronoun. None of them are particularly {{tomboy}}-ish.

** Her ''[[https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4547777 Exhilirating Steps]]!'' CG has her in this, grinding her prominently-displayed ass on a pole.

* PlayboyBunny: Dresses as one in her Exhilarating Steps! special skin.

** Her "Exhilarating Steps!" skin, which has her in a skintight PlayboyBunny getup (bunny-ears headband, strapless leotard, sleeveless bodystocking and high-heels), [[BoobsAndButtPose prominently grinding her rear end on a stripper pole]], in addition to the whole thing being a deliberate striptease done to the Commander.
** Her Oath skin is probably the most lewd one yet as it blatantly exposes some of her bare butt.

* BoobsOfSteel: Much like the South Dakota-class; both of them have impressive bustlines as well as being strong battleships.

* BoobsOfSteel: All three sisters are well endowed in addition to being top-notch battleships.

* BoobsOfSteel: Though her butt, legs and thighs are the most emphasized, she's still packing in the breast department and is a powerful UR battleship.

* {{Badass}}: What else do you call someone who can not just go toe-to-toe with an entire Ironblood blueprint ship squadron headed by Ulrich von Hutten, but come out on top against them? Her first in-story deployment during "Rondo at Rainbow's End" shows that those 18" rifles are absolutely not for show and that she can keep up with even UR/DR-grade prototype ships at least as well as New Jersey.

* BoobsAndButtPose: Her ''[[https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4547777 Exhilirating Steps]]!'' CG has her in this, grinding her prominently-displayed ass on a pole.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Not that dark-skinned compared to Tennessee, but about as tanned as California.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Tennessee fits this far better than California, but both are significantly more tanned than the majority of Eagle Union ships.

* MaleGaze: In addition to highlighting her [[ShesGotLegs long, shapely legs]], her PlayboyBunny skin also emphasizes her [[UnusualEuphemism stern]]. Interestingly, her Special Touch location is still her chest in that skin, unlike, say, [[Characters/AzurLaneRoyalNavy Drake's]] swimsuit skin.

* ShesGotLegs: They feature prominently in her default art, and her PlayboyBunny skin focuses on them. It's a nod to how the Iowa-class battleships were essentially a lengthened version of the previous South Dakota-class battleship-270.4 meters long vs the South Dakota's 207.
