7	!Submarines (SS)
8	A list of submarines appearing in ''Pacific''.
9
10	* ThemeNaming: In this case, after a particular species of aquatic animal.
11	* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Well, they ''are'' based on submarines. Unlike the ''VideoGame/KanColle'' subs however, they have a bit more diversity in their choice of swimwear.
12	* SuperNotDrowningSkills: no known upper limit, though it is at least months according to Sailfish.
13	* YouAreNumberSix: Applied to the V-boats before this was changed to the current ThemeNaming listed above.
14
15	[[folder: V-Boats]]
16	!!! Argonaut (SM-1)
17	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uss_argonaut_pacific_drawn_by_sima_naoteng__sample_c7ecbc21b186015b886a0c5b360b25f8.jpg]]
18
19	One of the "V-Boats", and the personification of USS ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Argonaut_(SM-1) Argonaut]]''.
20
21	----
22	* FieryRedhead: Implied by her poses in all her art.
23
24	!!! Narwhal (SS-167)
25	[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/014455591ba43f0e18bc6c4ddab53c38.jpg]]
26
27	--> ''"[[YouAreAlreadyDead You're already sunk.]]"''
28
29	One of the so-called "V-Boats", and based on one of the most decorated ships of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, USS ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Narwhal_(SS-167) Narwhal]]'', Narwhal is TheEngineer of the bunch.
30
31	----
32
33	* TheAce: Based on one of the most decorated ships of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
34	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Gets an entire complement of Marine Raider fairies armed specifically for doing commando raids against any threat she encounters.
35	* TheEngineer
36	* FlagBikini: Her attire.
37	* HandCannon: Literally, since it's modeled after a submarine-mounted deck gun.
38	* OralFixation: Tends to keep a blade of straw in her mouth.
39	* SemperFi: Her unit of Marine Raider fairies.
40	* ShoutOut: One of her quotes is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhujEQhg764 Narwhals, Narwhals, swimmin' in the ocean~]]"
41	* [[SouthernFriedPrivate Southern-Fried Submarine]]: Even moreso than ''Louisiana'', but not to Houston's.
42	* YouAreAlreadyDead: Her quote is a reference to the TropeNamer.
43
44	!!! Dolphin (SS-169)
45	[[quoteright:248:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1a7b030db4e9aed06f4c147e4c450fab.jpg]]
46
47	-->''"The rest of you all should be ashamed of yourselves. I can't even fire half these torpedoes without flipping myself over, and you let ME get MVP?"''
48
49	One of the so-called "V-Boats", she is the MoeAnthropomorphism of USS ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Dolphin_(SS-169) Dolphin]]''. She is depicted as a blonde young girl in a swimsuit wearing a Navy captain's uniform.
50
51	----
52
53	* {{BFG}}: Or rather, a torpedo tube modeled after a shotgun.
54	* BoisterousWeakling: In a way. Dolphin was an older submarine design, her engines were never upgraded, and a lackluster combat record having spent most of the war performing training duties at Pearl Harbor. She lampshades this in her MVP line.
55	* CoatCape
56	* CuteLittleFangs
57	* ADayInTheLimelight: Gets hers alongside U-2513 [[http://i.imgur.com/j7uVfeg.jpg here]].
58	* DrillSergeantNasty: Her personality is modeled after one. This comes from her time as a training ship.
59	* FemmeFatalons
60	* RedEyesTakeWarning: This stems mostly from her attitude, rather than being outright evil.
61	* SlasherSmile
62	* TeamMom: For the submarines, admittedly a more demanding and strict mother than most, but one none the less.

66
67	[[folder: ''Sargo''-class Submarine]]
68
69	* ADayInTheLimelight: They get theirs in [[http://www.hon-haka.org/archives/429 this blog]].
70	* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: While most ship girls within the same class are usually just given similar costumes or accessories, this pair is unique in that they're depicted this way instead. As they noted they were summoned together, same height, clothing sizes, eye and hair colors. Sailfish suspects it because of how intertwined their historical counterparts were.
71
72	!!! Sculpin (SS-191)
73	[[quoteright:215:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropessailfish.jpg]]
74
75	--> ''"Aww. Don't feel too bad. Things'll start looking up. Just you wait."''
76
77	The ship girl version of USS ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Sculpin_(SS-191) Sculpin]]''. Depicted as a young woman with silver hair wearing headphones riding a torpedo.
78	----
79
80
81	* BoyishShortHair: As opposed to Sailfish's TomboyishPonytail.
82	* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: This is clearly her situation on the cover image of the Main Characters page.
83	* IdiotHair: What tells her apart from her twin sister
84	* MellowFellow: Compared to her more NeatFreak-ish sister. She calls it being "Lazily Happy."
85	* NervesOfSteel: She remains just as calm in battle as she is on base.
86	* ThePollyanna: always prefers to focus on the positive of a situation, even her historical sinking.
87	* RedOni: To Sailfish's Blue Oni.
88	* RidingTheBomb / RocketRide: Or rather, torpedo. It's a reference to the ship's emblem.
89	* AWizardDidIt: her general opinion on how most ship girl equipment works it just "Magic"
90
91	!!! Sailfish (SS-192)
92	[[quoteright:277:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropessculpin.jpg]]
93
94	--> ''"[[DoNotCallMePaul I am not "Squailfish"]]. Could you please stop calling me that!"''
95
96	The MoeAnthropomorphism of USS ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Sailfish_(SS-192) Sailfish]]''. Originally named Squalus but was renamed after being recommissioned following a mechanical failure that caused her to sink in 1939. Appears as a young woman with a ponytail also wearing headphones.
97
98	----
99
100	* BlueOni: To Sculpin's Red.
101	* CombatMedic: apparently she can repair some battle damage, giving her this role, she is still a submarine first though.
102	* DoNotCallMePaul: prefers to go by Sal, calling her by historical monikers particularly Squalus and Squailfish is forbidden.
103	* InnocentBlueEyes: Which tells her apart from her twin sister.
104	* InSeriesNickname: Sal.
105	* MeaningfulRename: Technically sunk in 1939 as Squalus, but was raised and recommissioned as Sailfish.
106	* NeatFreak: Oh boy, is she ever, thanks to the incident above happening. Specifically, she is obsessed with keeping all of her equipment in top shape.
107	* TheReliableOne: STEC recommends that she plays this role for the other girls since she likes to take care of equipment
108	* TomboyishPonytail: Her hairstyle.
109	* WrenchWench: focuses on mechanical repair and maintenance. No skill as inventing new gear though.

113	[[folder: ''Tambor''-class submarine]]
114	!!! Tambor (SS-198)
115	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tamborf_1080p.jpg]]
116
117	The personification of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tambor_(SS-198) USS Tambor]].
118

120	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her introduction establishes that she...doesen't exactly think like her two sisters.
121	* IdiotHair: A particularly long one that stands out from the rest of her hair.
122
123	!!! Tautog (SS-199)
124	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uss_tautog_pacific_drawn_by_sima_naoteng__sample_8a5824e6cdb376d647a4909b2360a107.jpg]]
125
126	Based on the second ''Tambor''-class submarine, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tautog_(SS-199) Tautog]] is a new shipgirl introduced via ''Pacific's'' website rather than through the usual art book format.
127	* ADayInTheLimelight: How she's introduced, actually. Can be seen [[http://www.hon-haka.org/archives/2282 here]].
128	* FriendlySniper: Pretty chatty and down-to-earth, and presumably a really good shot with her Springfield.
129	* GeniusBruiser: Knows a lot about the "Silent Service" of World War II, particularly day-to-day operations, while also being trained in sub combat herself.
130	* HostileShowTakeover: Her sub-corner is regularly taken over by one or more characters.
131	* MsExposition: On Pacific's main website, she's usually there to explain the history of the US Navy's submarines.
132	* MsFanservice: She tends to get a lot of artwork showing her curves.
133	* SignatureHeadgear: Has a fish-shaped hairpin on the right side of her hair, presumably the one she's named after.

149	----
150	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Arguably even moreso than ''Iowa'', as a lot of STEC personnel and ship girls barely know she ''exists''.
151	* BunnyEarsLawyer: While she is shown to be aloof and prefers playing video games most of the time, make no mistake, she can total Abyssal patrols without anyone else even noticing.
152	* DarkIsNotEvil: Comes with wearing black clothing and being on the side of humanity.
153	* GamerChick: She turns out to be an avid gamer, as shown [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GamerChick here.]]

160	----
161	* GadgeteerGenius: If being capable of setting up a launchpad for ''actual'' V-1 Buzzbombs ''and'' being able to successfully launch them is any indicator...
162	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic-Ford_JB-2 Republic-Ford JB-2]], an American copy of the infamous V-1 Buzz bomb, rather than the much more common torpedo tube or HandCannon.
163	* MadScientist: Downplayed example, as she has quite the fixation for rockets and missiles.
