* {{Crossover}}: the "Indy and Kongou" omakes, which have the Indestructable Sisters transported mysteriously through a storm to canon Kancolle. Kongou's interactions with Indestructable are... interesting, to say the least, considering that Indestructable is a CoolBigSis who is focused on her duty and loves her adopted nation, while Kongou... is a GenkiGirl who is Admiralsexual. Indestructable even asks what Japan ''did'' to her in this universe.

** It ''really'' doesn't help that they suggest that they get her a set of clothes to match theirs, implying that they'll get rid of the Royal Navy uniform Indestructable wears. Given how Indy feels about the Royal Navy, this goes over ''exceedingly'' poorly.



* LadyOfWar: While not as much as other examples, Indy comports herself as a proper british warship. Well, most of the time, when things aren't conspiring to drive her mad or into a frenzy.

** [[spoiler: SMS Seydlitz got the name of Seydlitz and actually got to serve her country, eventually coming back as a Kanmasu. KMS ''didn't'' and was treated dishonorably (never completed and eventually scrapped after years of sitting in drydock) and turned into a demon.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: The Japanese Diet decrees that they will not give up Indestructible, as they were the ones who initially commissioned her and they were the ones to summon her, not the British (despite how they gave up on Kongou back in 1913 and how Indestructible actually feels)... but it's hard to argue with their point as they ''need'' the Kanmasu, and Japan is scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to finding shipgirls to summon. Without said fleets of girls, their nation ''will'' starve.

* BrokenPedestal: Seydlitz wants nothing more than to meet with Indestructible because she felt they forged a connection long ago, and views her as both a worthy adversary and someone who tried to help while she was being scuttled. Indestructible, on the other hand, does ''not'' see things that way. She only sees Seydlitz as a Nazi Ship that sank members of her family- including the ship she considered as her ''mother''- and is now hanging around with her other sisters for no adequately explained reason.

** Indestructible again for the members of the ''Hiei''-class, who had all these expectations in mind as to what would happen when they met their long-lost sister... only to find that Indestructible is ''not'' Kongou, has no love for Japan, and is insulted by their comments. They do manage to patch things up, though.



** Tosa is an interesting case, as when she first comes back, she's neither fully Abyssal, nor is she fully shipgirl. She's filled with hatred for everything Japan did to her- and rightfully so- but at the same time she's capable of controlling it.

** Indestructible was nearly finished (as Kongou), but Japan abandoned her, just like how Tosa was. However, Indestructible was finished, made friends and family, and sailed the waves. Tosa, on the other hand, was abandoned by Japan and torn apart for scrap. The only thing keeping her from going full-demon is the love of Kaga, and even then it's ''very'' close.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: when Indestructable's Japanese sisters (of the Kongou[=/=]Hiei-Class) start excitedly proclaiming that the four of them are together once again, they accidentally open up some very old wounds in Indestructible's heart by implying that they would all serve together in Japan... when Indestructable has some ''very'' good reasons to feel hurt and abandoned by said nation.

** Furthermore, they based an entire class of ship on her, giving her two sisters in this timeline via the British. Meanwhile, the other ships in the Japanese Navy that were supposed to be part of the ''Kongou''-class of ship (named after the first in their class) are instead renamed the ''Hiei''-class after the first non-Kongou ship of the design built.
** ''Implacable'', which in the normal timeline was built as an Aircraft Carrier, was instead part of the ''Indestructable''-class of Battlecruisers. As such, she's one of Indestructable's sisters.

But now that she has returned, Indestructible must adapt to living life as a mostly-human woman. In a nation that she rightfully feels abandoned her, and that is desperate for any and all 'kanmusu' they can get. She can only hope that her sisters will be there to support her through this.

[i]Born and raised in Britain, HMS Indestructible served a worthy career under the flag of the Royal Navy. She had expected to rest in peace, and be remembered for her service alone. She had most certainly not expected to be summoned in a human body, in the country that had abandoned her...abandoned the battlecruiser Kongou.

Indestructible Spirit is a Kantai Collection fanfic by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2138499/SkywalkerT-65 Skywalker_T-65]]. The Abyssal War has been raging for well over a year, and Japan is desperate for any and all kanmusu they can summon. Taking an idea that should have not worked, they attempt to summon one of the incomplete warships from the past. And so it works, summoning a ship that Japan had never finished. Only, HMS Indestructible, formerly IJN Kongou, is not happy to be in the nation that abandoned her…

** HMS Irresistible.

** HMS Implacable.

* BadassFamily: If one asks Indestructible, the entire Royal Navy battlecruiser corps.

* CoolBigSis: As above, HMS Indestructible. Take Kongou’s canonical oneesan tendencies and ramp it Up To Eleven. Even HMS Hood considers her an elder sister!

* EvilTwin: [[spoiler: KMS Seydlitz, incomplete Admiral Hipper-class cruiser and VERY angry Abyssal. Is targeting SMS Seydlitz for an as-yet undisclosed reason.]]

* FanNickname: Indestructible was almost immediately shortened to Indy by the fanbase.

* InSeriesNickname: Irresistible almost always calls Seydlitz by the nickname ‘litz’.

* InsistentTerminology: She is HMS Indestructible, not Kongou. Thank you very much.

** Commander Goto of the JMSDF reverses this, consistently calling Indestructible nothing but Kongou.
