!The Abyssal Fleet

The opponents faced by the player's fleet. The game itself says little about their origins, but the print spin-offs put forward the idea that they are an ''alien'' menace, and what's more are utterly hostile to humanity as a whole, plaguing the world's shipping lanes with unprovoked attacks.

While popular fan theory posits that the Abyssals, particularly its more humanoid members, are actually just turned Fleet Girls like your own playable ships, hints in the Summer 2014[=/=]Aleutians-Midway Event add even ''more'' speculation fuel [[spoiler:as it's obliquely hinted through their lines that the Midway Princess and the Carrier Princess are dark reflections of Akagi and Kaga, respectively. The 2014 Fall Event in Western New Guinea implies that Aircraft Carrier Water Oni is Shoukaku's dark side]]. Players familiar with the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona franchise, particularly with VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'s Shadows, found grim humor at this implication.

The game itself says little about their origins, but the print spin-offs put forward the idea that they are an ''alien'' menace, United States Armed Forces and what's more are utterly hostile to humanity as a whole, plaguing the world's shipping lanes with unprovoked attacks.

one of ''the'' largest naval forces in the Summer 2014[=/=]Aleutians-Midway Event add world. While they participated in much of the Atlantic Theater, such as Operation Torch, the Sicily, Italy and Normandy landings alongside the other Allied forces, they were more famously known for their actions in the Pacific Theater, as the vast majority of their engagements were present there.

* CastHerd: The American ships can generally put into several groups: The Main Carrier Task Force (Iowa, Saratoga, Intrepid), Taffy 3 (Gambier Bay, Samuel B. Roberts, Johnston), [[MultinationalTeam ABDACON]] (Houston, De Ryuter, Perth), and the forces at Guadalcanal (Fletcher, Atlanta, South Dakota, Hornet, Helena, Washington). American ships generally only interact with members of their group and certain Japanese ships.
* {{Eagleland}}: Beautiful variety. They're depicted in a sympathetic and very patriotic manner, not to mention being on the side of the good guys.
* GenderBlenderName: All USN destroyers and destroyer escorts fall under this, due to the US Navy tradition of each ship being named in honor of a fallen serviceman.
* GratuitousEnglish: Of varying degrees. Iowa is an [[UpToEleven
even ''more'' speculation fuel [[spoiler:as bigger user]] of this than ''Kongou'', judging from how many English words are in her introduction quote alone. Of course, when read in Japanese, [[{{Engrish}} it's obliquely hinted through not actually very good.]] Some have speculated that her speech pattern is modeled after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonin_English Bonin English]]. Saratoga, Gambier Bay, and Intrepid are similar to Iowa, sprinkling English in their lines, though less frequently and with much better diction. Samuel B. Roberts doesn't have as much English in her lines compared to her earlier shipmates.
* InSeriesNickname: Averted. For some reason, the US has OddNameOut in
that their equipment descriptions are the Midway Princess and the Carrier Princess are dark reflections of Akagi and Kaga, respectively. The 2014 Fall Event in Western New Guinea implies only one that Aircraft Carrier Water Oni uses the proper country name to indicate country of origin instead of some kind of nickname or oblique reference (for Germany and USSR) for other countries' equipments.
* MustHaveCaffeine: Helena, Houston, Colorado, Hornet, and South Dakota mentions serving coffee to the admiral in both their married secretary and hourly lines. It's both parts SeriousBusiness and a running joke that coffee
is Shoukaku's dark side]]. Players familiar the lifeblood of the American military (since the American Civil War, at that), much like how tea is SeriousBusiness for the British military.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Mostly applied to the destroyers and destroyer escorts, as some of their namesakes are well known members in the USN's history books.
* NiceHat: Stylized versions of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor_cap Dixie cup hat]], a garrison cap, or an officer's [[https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/uniforms/uniformregulations/chapter4/Pages/4311.aspx combination cap]].
* PhenotypeStereotype: It used to be that most of them were curvy blue-eyed blondes. As the American fleet grew, so did the number of exceptions: Saratoga and Intrepid have hair of different shades of brown; Houston has golden yellow eyes; Johnston has brown hair and eyes; Atlanta has brown hair and grey eyes; Helena has modest proportions, brown hair and green eyes; Hornet has gray eyes; Washington has gray hair and eyes; and Samuel B. Roberts is flat-chested (she ''is'' a child)
with blue hair and yellow eyes. South Dakota has ludicrous American flag-colored hair but it's unknown if it's dyed or not.
* RareVehicles: Ironically,
the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona franchise, particularly with VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'s Shadows, found grim humor at Grumman [=F6F=] Hellcat qualifies as this implication.
despite Grumman producing 12,275 examples for the US Navy and [[SemperFi Marine Corps]] [[note]]In comparison, the total number of all Type 0 Fighters models combined built together were tallied at around 10,934-11,291[[/note]], as you could only import up to two early model Hellcats ([=F6F=]-3) from the quest while the rest had to be upgraded from Wildcats. There are two variants of Wildcats and Hellcats in-game for a four-stage upgrade, so upgrading a [=F4F=]-3 into [=F6F=]-5 would require you redo the 10-star improvement '''three''' times, costing '''massive''' amount of improvement material in the process.
** The Night-Fighter Hellcats plays this even straighter, as you need a 10-star [=F6F=]-3 or [=F6F=]-5 to get their night version, which is lost upon upgrade. This is attributed to the APS-6 aircraft radar that were so delicate and complex that each unit had to be made by hand.
* ThemeNaming: US battleships are named after American states (Iowa, Colorado, Washington, South Dakota); cruisers after cities and towns (Houston, Atlanta, Helena); destroyers and destroyer escorts after late servicemen (Samuel B. Roberts, Johnston, Fletcher); carriers after old ship names and famous battles (Intrepid, Saratoga, Hornet); escort carriers after bays, sounds, rivers and islands (Gambier Bay); and submarines after marine creatures. There are exceptions, of course.
* YouAreNumberSix: Their [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_number hull numbers]], specifically, which are used by the US Navy in RealLife to identify each respective ship. They're typically painted on the bow of the ship, but on late-war aircraft carriers, they're painted on the flight deck.

!!Destroyers (DD) & Destroyer Escorts (DE)

[[folder:The ''Fletcher''-class]]
The first USN destroyers built completely free of any Treaty restrictions, and also the most numerous class of destroyers ever built, at a whopping ''175 ships'' launched between 1942-1944. Compared to their predecessors the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleaves-class_destroyer Gleaves]]''-class destroyers, they were longer, more heavily armed, and had a much longer range, the last of which was necessary in crossing the vast Pacific Ocean. Other advantages included being able to fit as many AntiAir guns as possible without the need to remove main battery mounts. The first ''Fletchers'' would see combat off the waters of Guadalcanal, and would be present in virtually every naval engagement in the Pacific onward. 19 were lost during World War II, and following the end of hostilities, they continued to serve in the US Navy until the 1960s. Many were later modernized, sold to foreign navies, or scrapped. Four ships of this class continue to survive to this day: USS ''Kidd'' (DD-661) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; USS ''Cassin Young'' (DD-793) in Boston, Massachusetts; USS ''The Sullivans'' (DD-537) in Buffalo, New York; and Greek destroyer ''Velos'', aka the former USS ''Charette'' (DD-581), in Palairo Faliro, Greece.

* RareRandomDrop: Both ships in this class are currently available only as event drops during limited time events.

!!Universal Tropes
* AnimateInanimateObject: While not really appearing as enemies, some of the [=CGs=] shows some objects what have been Abyssalified. Submarine Princess' artwork shows her with two living torpedoes, Z3's Summer 2016 damaged artwork shows her being creeped up by a living naval mine with tentacles, and Escort Water Princess has her accompanied with living lifebuoys.
* BlandNameProduct: Some of the equipment used by them, like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F6F_Hellcat "Cat Fighter"]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_TBF_Avenger "Revenge Torpedo Bomber"]]... well, it doesn't take a genius to see why many players think the Abyssals represent the Allies.
* BodyHorror: Some of the smaller or weaker Abyssal Ships are disturbing, to say the least. Fanon WildMassGuessing has the knack of taking this to FridgeHorror levels.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Since the ships do not have official individual names (like Kongou, Kirishima, etc.) when their name and class are used together to refer to them, this scheme ends up having stuff like Battleship "Battleship Princess" being common.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The dark haired Abyssals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're definitely alien, particularly the starter opponents.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: For some unknown reason, the ones based on airfields (which are islands) besides Harbor Water Demon and Anchorage Water Demon have existent (albeit low) Evasion stats. How does an ''island'', a '''completely''' stationary object, evade gunfire?
** Taken even further starting from Winter 2016 Event, as defeating the boss in an event map would clear off the red mist off the map, thereby implying it had been freed from Abyssal's influence. When you visit said map again after clearing it, [[UnexplainedRecovery the mist are still there]], and so are the Abyssals.
* GrayscaleOfEvil: They're all white-skinned, wear white or black hair and clothing, have mechanical parts in black or dark metallic grays, and are waging war on humankind.
* HumanoidAbomination: There's also obviously something ''off'' about the humanoid representatives of the Abyssal Fleet. The fact that many seem to be hard-wired with weaponry reminiscent of something you'd expect to find in Creator/HRGiger's work does ''not'' help matters.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Most, if not all, of them incorporate a big pair of chompers in their designs, some of which are hiding [[NestedMouths more rows of teeth]].
* {{Oni}}: Horned Abyssals tend to look like them, Battleship Princess in particular. To support this, the "Demon" in the names of the ships is written in the kanji for "Oni", which has prompted endless speculation since.
* ThePrettyGuysAreStronger: Unlike the clearly inhuman mooks, all ''Demon'' and ''Princess'' ships are [[ItMakesSenseInContext girls with]] [[MechaMooks massive abominations]]. In the original Iroha order, they even progressively take a more human appearance.
* RevenantZombie: Many fans theorize that they [[WasOnceAMan used to be normal shipgirls]] who sank and then got reanimated due to their grudge, akin to the "vengeful ghost" concept. It helps (or perhaps doesn't) that some of the Abyssal bosses look similar to some of the shipgirls. The 4koma also says something along those lines, while [[spoiler:TheMovie spells it out loud]].
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: The first Abyssal ships that rookie Admirals will encounter at the start of their careers are comparatively weak Destroyers and Light Cruisers. The further afield they sortie however, they'll soon run into Heavy Cruisers and Carriers, and by the time they hit the end of World 2, they're introduced to the formidable Fleet Carriers and Battleships. When they finally arrive at world 5, "normal" Abyssal ships have mostly given way to [[EliteMook Elite and Flagship versions]], and what's more, an Admiral's fleet will have to face powerful Abyssal ''bosses'' (Demon-class and Princess-class) guarding important nodes.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Frequently, ranging from 'wearing a thong with no skirt or trousers' to 'wearing a bikini' to 'might as well be wearing nothing at all'. Of particular note here are Ta, Ri, Armored Aircraft Carrier Demon, Southern Ocean War Princess, and Airfield Princess.
** The damaged model of Airfield Princess, which appeared in Summer 2015 event, shows that she is actually wearing a [[LeotardOfPower white leotard]].
* TechnicolorEyes: Generally, how they tell the difference in their ranks. Otherwise, everyone is assumed to have them by default.
** GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: Every one has glowing eyes, although [[WildMassGuessing there is a lot of guessing that the ships were previously sunken ships]].
** RedEyesTakeWarning: All Elite variants and major bosses have red eyes. They even glow brightly as they attack.
** SupernaturalGoldEyes: Flagship rank, the even stronger variants of common mooks, are denoted by gold eyes.
** GlowingEyesOfDoom: And the most recent introduction of remodeled Flagship rank enemies. One of their eyes glows blue on top of their golden aura.

The standard Abyssal ships, divided into the same ship classes as the shipgirls. While they lack the variety and personality of the shipgirls, they make up for it with [[WeHaveReserves numbers]].

!Destroyers

* AttackAttackAttack: Shown off in the anime. Unlike much of the Abyssals which prefer to lay back and shoot with the cannons from afar, the I-class on more than one occasion go straight up to their opposing fleet and ''shoot them point-blank.''
* TheGoomba: The weakest enemy in the game. However, their Flagship and Late Model version, turn them into GoddamnBats.
* TookALevelInBadass: The Summer 2015 event introduced the fiendishly strong Elite Late Model Kai version, which sports a menacing blood red aura and enough firepower and torpedoes to demolish even heavy cruisers in one shot.

!!Universal Tropes
* AnimateInanimateObject: ThirteenIsUnlucky: While not really appearing as enemies, some consider the number "13" to be unlucky, she is the [[InvertedTrope total opposite]] of the [=CGs=] shows some objects trope: Her crew developed what have been Abyssalified. Submarine Princess' artwork shows her was called the "triskaidekaphilia" (love for the number 13). The Battle of Guadalcanal (which she took part in) took place on Friday the 13th of November 1942, with two living torpedoes, Z3's Summer 2016 damaged artwork shows her being creeped the 13th ship in a 13-ship line of battle. Her hull number (445) sums up by to 13 as does Task Force 67 (which she was a living naval mine with tentacles, member of at the time). All that and Escort Water Princess has she escaped the battle unscathed. This means that for her, 13 ''is'' lucky.
* BlackBraAndPanties: Her damaged Mk. II art reveals that
her accompanied with living lifebuoys.
* BlandNameProduct: Some
underwear is black instead of the equipment used by them, like whites worn in previous versions.
* BornLucky: Starts off with 30 at base and 40 at Kai, maxing out to 99 at base and 100 at Kai. Considering the amount of action that her historical counterpart saw, from the mess that was
the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F6F_Hellcat "Cat Fighter"]] and org/wiki/Naval_Battle_of_Guadalcanal Naval Battle of Guadalcanal]] to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_TBF_Avenger "Revenge Torpedo Bomber"]]... well, it doesn't take a genius to see why many players think the Abyssals represent the Allies.
* BodyHorror: Some
org/wiki/Battle_of_Tassafaronga Battle of the smaller or weaker Abyssal Ships are disturbing, to say the least. Fanon WildMassGuessing has the knack of taking this to FridgeHorror levels.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Since the ships do not have official individual names (like Kongou, Kirishima, etc.) when their name and class are used together to refer to them, this scheme ends up having stuff like Battleship "Battleship Princess" being common.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The dark haired Abyssals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're definitely alien, particularly the starter opponents.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: For some unknown reason, the ones based on airfields (which are islands) besides Harbor Water Demon and Anchorage Water Demon have existent (albeit low) Evasion stats. How does an ''island'', a '''completely''' stationary object, evade gunfire?
** Taken even further starting from Winter 2016 Event, as defeating the boss in an event map would clear off the red mist off the map, thereby implying it had been freed from Abyssal's influence. When you visit said map again after clearing it, [[UnexplainedRecovery the mist are still there]], and so are the Abyssals.
* GrayscaleOfEvil: They're all white-skinned, wear white or black hair and clothing, have mechanical parts in black or dark metallic grays, and are waging war on humankind.
* HumanoidAbomination: There's also obviously something ''off'' about the humanoid representatives of the Abyssal Fleet. The fact that many seem to be hard-wired with weaponry reminiscent of something you'd expect to find in Creator/HRGiger's work does ''not'' help matters.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Most, if not all, of them incorporate a big pair of chompers in their designs, some of which are hiding [[NestedMouths more rows of teeth]].
* {{Oni}}: Horned Abyssals tend to look like them, Battleship Princess in particular. To
Tassafaronga]], various fire support this, the "Demon" in the names of the ships is written in the kanji for "Oni", which has prompted endless speculation since.
* ThePrettyGuysAreStronger: Unlike the clearly inhuman mooks, all ''Demon''
missions, and ''Princess'' ships are [[ItMakesSenseInContext girls with]] [[MechaMooks massive abominations]]. In the original Iroha order, they even progressively take a more human appearance.
* RevenantZombie: Many fans theorize that they [[WasOnceAMan used
to be normal shipgirls]] who sank and then got reanimated due to their grudge, akin to the "vengeful ghost" concept. It helps (or perhaps doesn't) that some of the Abyssal bosses look similar to some of the shipgirls. The 4koma also says something along those lines, while [[spoiler:TheMovie spells it out loud]].
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: The first Abyssal ships that rookie Admirals will encounter at the start of their careers are comparatively weak Destroyers and Light Cruisers. The further afield they sortie however, they'll soon run into Heavy Cruisers and Carriers, and by the time they hit the end of World 2, they're introduced to the formidable Fleet Carriers and Battleships. When they finally arrive at world 5, "normal" Abyssal ships have mostly given way to [[EliteMook Elite and Flagship versions]], and what's more, an Admiral's fleet will have to face powerful Abyssal ''bosses'' (Demon-class and Princess-class) guarding important nodes.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Frequently, ranging from 'wearing a thong with no skirt or trousers' to 'wearing a bikini' to 'might as well be wearing nothing at all'. Of particular note here are Ta, Ri, Armored Aircraft Carrier Demon, Southern Ocean War Princess, and Airfield Princess.
** The damaged model of Airfield Princess, which appeared in Summer 2015 event, shows that she is actually wearing a [[LeotardOfPower white leotard]].
* TechnicolorEyes: Generally, how they tell the difference in their ranks. Otherwise, everyone is assumed to have them by default.
** GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: Every one has glowing eyes, although [[WildMassGuessing there is a lot of guessing that the ships were previously sunken ships]].
** RedEyesTakeWarning: All Elite variants and major bosses have red eyes. They even glow brightly as they attack.
** SupernaturalGoldEyes: Flagship rank, the even stronger variants of common mooks, are denoted by gold eyes.
** GlowingEyesOfDoom: And the most recent introduction of remodeled Flagship rank enemies. One of their eyes glows blue on top of their golden aura.

** Light Cruiser Oni and Battleship Water Oni

Your run-of-the-mill Abyssal Heavy Cruisers. With their combination of triple 8-inch main batteries and 21-inch torpedo launchers, they seem to represent one of two classes of [=USN=] heavy cruisers built under the limits of the Washington Naval Treaty, the ''[[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/ca-24.htm Pensacola]]'' and ''[[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/ca-26.htm Northampton]]'' classes.[[note]]The [=US=] was the only nation that fielded a triple 8-inch main battery, with everyone else going for singles or twin turrets.

to:

* AntiAir: They BornLucky: Like Samuel B. Roberts, she has high luck of 42 after remodel, but with only 82 max luck. Again, this is due to the same reason as Sammy B.: she fought way above her weight class in a very lopsided battle off Samar [[note]]Due to the destroyers' ferocity, the IJN misidentified the ''Fletcher''s as ''Baltimore''-class heavy cruisers, while the ''John C.

Due to the Abyssal Fleet, these units are Treaty, ''Washington'' was canceled despite being 75% completed. The rest would go on to serve the US Navy during the Interwar Period with slight modifications. During the Attack on Pearl Harbor, ''Maryland'' and ''West Virginia'', who were part of Battleship Row, would be damaged and sunk, respectively, with the latter later being refloated and extensively modernized. ''Colorado'', fortunately, was undergoing a refit in the Puget Sound Naval Yard, and so was spared damage. She and ''Maryland'' would also be modernized, albeit not to the same extent as ''West Virginia''. All three would go on to serve in the shore bombardment role, covering the landings of US Marines and Army soldiers throughout the Pacific from 1943-45. In addition, ''Maryland'' and ''West Virginia'' would see action in the Battle of Surigao Strait, the last battleship-on-battleship action of World War II. Following the end of hostilies, ''Colorado'' and ''West Virginia'' would be present in Tokyo Bay in time for the most part unique and guard specific key locations.

All three would then be scrapped in 1959.

She's a reward for clearing the final stage on ''Kai'' hard difficulty of the Vita version, and is the E7 reward in the Spring 2016
Event Maps 2, 3 and 4. First appearing as on the Southern Demon at the end of Map 2, each progressive defeat sees her [[VillainousBreakdown becoming more crazed and dangerous]]. [[spoiler:Implied to be Yamato's Abyssal counterpart.]]browser version.




%% * ArmCannon
* TheBerserker: As seen from how many times she's fought, it makes an impression that she doggedly chasing after the shipgirls with reckless abandon much to her detriment. In the arcade game, her idle animation is roaring to the sky while her shelling animation has her swinging her arms wildly with each shot.
* EvilCounterpart: Her overall appearance as the Southern War Demon is nearly identical to the standard design of the shipgirls.
* {{Expy}}: While she may lack the glowing blue eye, she has Music/BlackRockShooter's outfit and hairstyle.
** Her Ocean Demon form has also been dubbed [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Abyssal Miku]].
* GlassCannon: Surprisingly has '''10''' armor in War Demon form. This means she can take damage with a very weak hit. [[EpilepticTrees Rumor has it]] that it was, in fact, a typo, supposed to be in the range of 100 (average boss armor is 100.).
* GodivaHair: In her final form. She'd be going FullFrontalAssault if not for some scraps of her metal thong and her hair.

The boss for the fourth map of the Fall 2013 event. Initially believed to represent [[http://en.

The event map itself replicates [[http://en.
org/wiki/Bofors_40_mm_gun Bofors 40 mm cannons]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadalcanal_Campaign#Battleship_bombardment_of_Henderson_Field org/wiki/Oerlikon_20_mm_cannon Oerlikon 20 mm cannons]] mounted on top of Turrets 2 and 3.
** Her unique (at
the historical bombardment time of Henderson Field by her introduction, at least) equipment all have a good amount of anti-air stats as well. Special mention goes to the 5inch Twin Gun Mount Mk.28 mod.2 and the Bofors 40mm Quadruple Autocannon Mount, both of which can activate anti-air cut-ins under the right conditions.
* BadassBoast: Her night battle line is this, referencing how her class was the last class of
battleships Kongou active in the entire world.
-->'''Iowa''': If you think battleships are outdated, watch this. Fire!
* BareYourMidriff: Her short corset accentuates part of her shapely abdomen.
* BigOMG: In her sunken line.
-->'''Iowa:''' Oh my god... I lost...? The water is... My consciousness is... Admiral...
* BoisterousBruiser: As seen by her attack line:
-->'''Iowa''': Fire! Fire! Ahahaha! Let's go! Yeah!
* BoobsOfSteel: Which is comparable to the ''Yamato'' sisters. [[note]]Iowa
and Haruna]].

She returns as
her sisters rivaled the boss ''Yamato''-class battleships in terms of E-4 for firepower, due to the Summer 2015 event. And fact that, despite having a smaller gun caliber (16 inches[=/=]40.6 cm compared to the 18.1 inches[=/=]46 cm on the ''Yamato'' sisters), they were outfitted with better fire control systems, among other features, and had about the same penetration with their super heavy Mark 8 Armor Piercing shells.[[/note]]
* BornLucky: Well,
she's [[TurnsRed very, very angry]].still around today as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Iowa_Museum museum ship]]. She even managed to [[http://www.cracked.com/article_19637_the-5-craziest-war-stories-all-happened-same-ship.html survive being accidentally fired on (twice)]] by one of her own escorting destroyers during her time as the personal transport for UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt, as well as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Iowa_turret_explosion a turret explosion]], unlike Mutsu.
** Notably, despite having outlived most of the ships from World War II, she still has lower base luck stat than a couple other BornLucky ships such as Yukikaze and Shigure, with her base luck among the battleships being second only to Haruna at her second remodel. This may be because of the aforementioned turret explosion, as well as her not taking part in as many battles as the latter two that weren't {{Curb Stomp Battle}}s.
* BraggingRightsReward: Being the completion reward for clearing hard mode on ''[=KanColle Kai=]'', and later the last stage of the browser version's [[BonusDungeon Spring 2016]] event, she kind of comes off as this, particularly for seasoned Admirals of the latter who somehow cleared the said map on Hard.
* CleavageWindow: Her knotted shirt-corset combo makes for quite an "impressive" view of her "displacement".
* CutenessOverload: She has this reaction upon seeing the Kongou sisters in her 16:00 hourly line, being shocked at how pretty they are.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Her skirt is only twice as long as the belt used to secure it.
* TheDreaded: Only in the 4-koma, but Katori and Maikaze (who Iowa - and New Jersey in the latter's case - sunk at Truk) tend to suffer panic attacks when anything related to Iowa is shown or mentioned. They managed to get over it via group therapy before meeting Iowa proper, however [[note]]The therapy seems to mainly consist of both of them sleeping with Iowa dakimakura and trying not to freak out, at least until Maikaze had an epiphany[[/note]]. Nowaki (who was pursued by Iowa and New Jersey while escaping Truk), while didn't suffer panic attack, feels uneasy with things related to Iowa.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Stars as her pupils.
* {{Foil}}: To Yamato. A BoisterousBruiser to Yamato's more shy and polite demeanor, lead ships of their respective navies' largest and most powerful battleship class, being the latest battleship classes of their countries, and dark blues to Yamato's reds. And they were more or less like hotels in their respective navies - Iowa has a bathtub and elevator due to ferrying President UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt to Tehran, while Yamato's nickname of "Hotel Yamato" was because she had better living conditions compared to other IJN ships.
** Also serves one to Warspite. While Warspite was the pioneer of the fast battleship concept, and also one of the oldest fast battleships built, Iowa is the last, youngest and most advanced of the fast battleship designs. Also to Kongou for the same reason (and she's even older than Warspite).
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Both in the game and 4koma, her 16inch Triple Gun Mount appeared before she did, heralding the arrival of at least one ''Iowa''-class battleship, which turned out to be the nameship herself.
* GameBreakingBug: While she historically equipped the 16-inch [=Mk7=] Main Guns, for some reason the [=MK7=] initially caused the same overweight penalty as the 46cm guns from the ''Yamato''-class, resulting in an accuracy penalty. While this could've been chalked up due to her guns being unusually large for a fast battleship [[note]]Most battleships have the gun caliber at 35-38cm range, with Iowa's gun at 16-inch being equivalent to 40.6cm in metric effectively makes the 16-inch [=Mk7=] gun the biggest gun ever deployed on fast battleships[[/note]], it should be noted than none of the other fast battleships suffered the same penalty. Thankfully, this was resolved in the June 30, 2016 update.
* GoingCommando: Her damaged art seems to show her not wearing any panties underneath her already DangerouslyShortSkirt. Her Toys/{{Figma}} model, however, has a thin black piece of cloth on her waist, just to the right of where her damaged skirt is. This is actually the remains of what appears to be underwear.
* GorgeousGaijin: Her outfit invokes this, due in part to being based on pin-up girls found on NoseArt of American planes, American propaganda posters, and in war bond drives during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* IdiotHair: Right in front of her cap, although it's more noticeable in official art featuring her shaking hands with Yamato.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: In some of her hourlies, she refers to Yamato as the Yamato Hotel while complimenting her cooking. In the 4-koma, this seems to stem from her not having much problem with people calling her Iowa Museum, and think that that's equivalent with Yamato Hotel.
* InterfaceSpoiler: Her existence was spoiled by the ''Kancolle Kai'' Platinum trophy listing, as the trophy for acquiring her is simply called "Iowa".
* IUhYouToo: [[spoiler:Evoked with her marriage line]]
-->'''Iowa:''' [[spoiler:Admiral, what's this ring? An engagement ring? For me...? Thank you... me too...]]
* LightningBruiser: Even moreso than any other fast battleships, as her base stats aree second only to ''[[InfinityPlusOneSword Yamato]]''-class in the game, and her real-life maximum speed was approximately 33 knots (38mph/61kmph). To put it simply, she's the InfinityPlusOneSword of fast battleships.
* MarshmallowHell: In chapter 127 of the 4-koma Iowa hugs Shimakaze and Yukikaze in gratitude for rescuing her from the Abyssal ships and their faces get squashed right into her cleavage. The two flustered destroyers later can only describe the experience as "amazing..."
* NecessaryDrawback: Her stats were outstanding for a battleship, bearing outstanding anti-air stats and her firepower and armor stats are well over 10 points above any battleships apart from the ''Yamato''-class. In return, her stats were [[InfinityMinusOneSword somewhat inferior]] compared to the latter, and although she retains the "fast" speed and similarly fewer resource consumption in comparison, her resource consumption is still leagues apart from an average battleship. [[note]]Iowa costs 200 fuel and 275 ammunition for a full resupply, both resources takes 50 points lower compared to fully resupplying a ''Yamato''-class battleship. In comparison, a fully-remodeled ''Kongou''-class battleship costs 100 fuel and 125 ammunition for a full resupply, meaning that two ''Kongou''-class battleships can be sortied at the price of one ''Iowa''-class battleship with some ammunition to spare[[/note]]
** Her gun range is limited to plain "Long" as well, unlike the "Very Long" range of the ''Yamato'' and ''Vittorio Veneto''-class battleships [[note]]The game follows the theoretical maximum range as the measure of range, meaning her gun with the range of 23miles/38km falls short of the maximum range of 26 miles/42km achievable by the guns from the latter two classes[[/note]], meaning her shelling commences after both battleship classes during the first shelling phase.
** She also has lowest evasion among all remodeled fast battleships, at 70.
* NiceHat: A USN sailor's garrison cap designed to look like her rangefinder and funnels.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Which emphasizes her BoobsOfSteel and bears her hull number, 61.
* OperaGloves: White ones that are combined with navy blue FingerlessGloves that has large cuffs.
* PatrioticFervor: Her outfit comes off as this, in part due to being based on pinup girls from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era NoseArt and war bond drives.
* PerpetualSmiler: Most of her art shows her smiling or having a happy expression. Ever in her damaged art, she's still not frowning.
* PrettyInMink: Her [[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Iowa/Gallery?file=Iowa_New_Year_Full.png New Year 2017 CG]] has her wear a fur scarf over her ''very'' America-themed Kimono.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Notably has reds and blues on her costume, particularly her leggings, and is firmly on the side of the good guys.
* RareRandomDrop: Her remodeled version has the same rarity level as the ''Yamato'' class, i.e 8.
* SillyMeGesture: She does this in her damaged portrait.
* SoleSurvivor: At the time of her introduction, she's the only ship in the game to have not only survived through WWII but to have lasted intact to modern times as a museum ship.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's often portrayed as being considerably taller than even other battleships, due to her class historically being the longest battleships ever built, at 887 ft 3 in (270.4 m).[[note]]For comparison, the ''Yamato''-class battleships were 862 ft 10 in (263 m) long.[[/note]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit is already highly revealing by the game's standards, with only ''Musashi'' beating her in this department. [[ShownTheirWork Interestingly enough]], she looks to have been based off of old American WWII pin-up posters, showing that her design does actually have some historical basis.
** Another possible reason for this is due to the ''Iowa''-class battleships using the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_or_nothing_(armor) "all-or-nothing"]] armor layout, where the armor only covers the important parts of a battleship, such as the magazine or ship's citadel.
** Averted by her New Year's art, where she wears a modest [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead American Flag-patterned kimono]] instead.
* TheTease: Her equipment lines border on flirty and outright sexually suggestive, due to how the lines are pronounced.
* ThisIsNotADrill: Says this word for word in one of her secretary lines. [[note]]Likely referencing when one of her escorts, the destroyer USS ''William D. Porter'', had accidentally released a torpedo towards her while she was carrying Roosevelt to Tehran during a training exercise. One radioman had called out "Torpedo to starboard. This is not a drill", daring to break radio silence.[[/note]]
-->''"This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill! Hey, Admiral?!"''
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Her leggings feature American flag colorings. Fanartists even sometimes portray her undergarments as an actual American flag.
** Her New Year's kimono is also patterned after an American flag.

!!Standard Aircraft Carriers (CV)

[[folder:The ''Lexington''-class]]
Originally designed and built as battlecruisers, their production was halted midway due to the implementation of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. Thus, they were converted into aircraft carriers under compliance. As a result, when both were commissioned in 1927 as the second and third carriers of the USN, they emerged as one of the largest and best aircraft carriers of the time. Both would go on to serve during the early parts of the Pacific war, with ''Lexington'' sunk early in 1942 during the Battle of the Coral Sea, while ''Saratoga'' would receive numerous refits and serve in both combat and training roles until 1945. The latter, along with several other US Navy ships deemed too old for service, would be expended as part of Operation Crossroads in Bikini Atoll.

* SuperPrototype: At the time of their commissioning, they were the biggest and fastest aircraft carriers in the world. [[note]]The Washingotn Naval Treaty allowed the United States and Japan to each convert two cancelled capital ships into 33,000 ton carriers, which was 6,000 tons larger than was allowed for newly-constructed carriers. Moreover, a [[LoopholeAbuse loophole was abused]] to add a further 3,000 tons to their displacement, by claiming that it was the result of a refit to enhance their protection against submarine attack. Lexington and Saratoga also had a better-planned conversion than their Japanese counterparts Akagi and Kaga. As a result it wasn't until the ''Essex''-class carriers, built without Treaty restrictions, that the US Navy truly surpassed the ''Lexington''-class.[[/note]] Even at the outbreak of World War II, when given AA and artillery refits, they proved able to compete even against some of Japan's newer aircraft carrier designs.

Saratoga is the personification of US carrier USS ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Saratoga_(CV-3) Saratoga]]''. She's introduced in the Fall 2016 Event as the E-5 reward.




* CloudCuckoolander: Very often portayed as this, likely due to her [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent unusual health status names]] in her battle ("minor damage" becomes "confused" for her). Ranges from being TheDitz to [[AffablyEvil just completely weird]].
* ClothingDamage: Only on her Summer 2015 final form
* CombatTentacles: In the anime only, her runways are formed from wriggling threads growing from her back, which solidified into runways for her aircrafts.
* FillerVillain: Her role in Winter Event 2016 is to launch land-based aircraft for one phase and nothing else. This means her only contribution in the map is to take potshots at the shipgirls so they will be in a less optimal condition in the next patrol boat node. It will be a well and good strategy, except one shipgirl that guarantees branching to her node (Kasumi) has AA cut-in in her second remodel that will shoot down all of her planes. The shipgirls are even skipping shelling her node.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports a pair of short, round horns on the side of her head.
* LeotardOfPower: Frequently confused with a ThongOfShielding due being the same color as her skin. Her damaged model in Summer 2015 shows clearly that she is indeed wearing a leotard.
* LogicalWeakness: She takes increased damage from ships equipped with Type-3 anti-aircraft ammunition. While it seems strange at first, it's actually a reference to how [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Shiki_(anti-aircraft_shell) historical Type-3 rounds]] worked.[[labelnote:Explanation]] In essence, they were battleship-grade shotgun shells, scattering a cloud of hot shrapnel on detonation, with the aim of taking out enemy aircraft, except subsequent experience showed that they utterly failed in this role. However they proved ''excellent'' at destroying or damaging ground-based structures, and it was in this function that they were used at Guadalcanal.[[/labelnote]]

The final boss for the Fall 2013 event, where she is faced by the player's forces at Ironbottom Sound. She becomes a recurring enemy from that point on, appearing as an escort for the Isolated Island Demon during the Spring 2014 event, and ''two'' copies of her are part of the counterattack fleet during the Summer 2014 event[[labelnote:*]]Only if the player's HQ level is over 100.

She shows up again as the boss of the Fall 2014 event's third map and has appeared in the Winter 2015 as the pre-boss for the third and fifth maps and the escort for Battleship Water Demon in the fifth map.\\\

She is (loosely) based from the ''Yamato''-class battleships, albeit with their gun caliber designated as 16-inches to to cover up her actual gun caliber[[labelnote:*]]which is actually 46cm[=/=]18.1 inches[[/labelnote]]. That being said, many people believe that she represents the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa-class_battleship Iowa]]''-class battleships, since the latter is the closest thing to Battleship Princess as far as [=USN=] stand-in goes.

to:

\n* CloudCuckoolander: Very often portayed as this, likely due to AllThereInTheManual: [[https://en.kancollewiki.net/Kensuke_Tanaka_Interview:_Kancolle_Style_Vol._3 Official design sketches of Saratoga's weapon]] describe how it works: her [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent unusual health status names]] in her battle ("minor damage" becomes "confused" for her). Ranges gun consists of a dual-trigger system composing of a small trigger that loads planes from being TheDitz to [[AffablyEvil just completely weird]].
* ClothingDamage: Only on her Summer 2015 final form
* CombatTentacles: In
the anime only, her runways are formed from wriggling threads growing from her back, magazine onto one of two elevators to be sent up to the flight deck, with the position of weapon's fire selector switch determining which solidified into runways for her aircrafts.
* FillerVillain: Her role in Winter Event 2016 is to launch land-based
of the two elevators will be used, and a large trigger that launches all available aircraft for currently on the flight deck.
* BigOMG: Exclaims this at times.
* BoobsOfSteel: Her chest size is very close to Unryuu's, and she's
one phase and nothing else. This means her only contribution of the strongest carriers in the map is to take potshots at the shipgirls so they will be in a less optimal condition in the next patrol boat node. It will be a well and good strategy, except game.
* BoobsAndButtPose: She does this whenever she suffers medium or heavy damage.
* BornLucky: She's
one shipgirl that guarantees branching to her node (Kasumi) has AA cut-in in her second remodel that will shoot down all of her planes. The shipgirls are even skipping shelling her node.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports a pair of short, round horns on the side of her head.
* LeotardOfPower: Frequently confused with a ThongOfShielding due being the same color as her skin. Her damaged model in Summer 2015 shows clearly that she is indeed wearing a leotard.
* LogicalWeakness: She takes increased damage from ships equipped with Type-3 anti-aircraft ammunition. While it seems strange at first, it's actually a reference to how [[http://en.
three pre-war USN carriers [[note]]4 if you count USS ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Shiki_(anti-aircraft_shell) org/wiki/USS_Long_Island_(CVE-1) Long Island]]'', assuming that December 1941 is counted for US entry of [=WW2=][[/note]] to survive through World War II, the others being Enterprise and Ranger. However, her base luck stat after remodel is 35, only 5 higher than Katsuragi. This is most likely due to the fact that she didn't participate as much in more famous operations and, like Hibiki, was frequently getting repaired from damage.
* CoolGuns: Her ''flight deck'' looks like it is designed after the Thompson submachine gun. Aside of having the signature grips of one, she has both regular magazines and drum magazines what presumably hold her planes. But due to the size of her flight deck (and [[FiringOneHanded how she wields it]]) it goes well into {{BFG}}-tier.
* CrypticBackgroundReference: Her reference to Operation Crossroads is only a mention of the "certain experiment" alongside Nagato and the others in her library line, and her line about not being good at making breads in her married secretary line.[[labelnote:Note]]In reference to the "Baker" Test in Bikini Atoll.[[/labelnote]]
* FingerlessGloves: Gains one on her right hand in her Mk.II forms.
* {{Foil}}: To Akagi and Kaga. All three were originally built as battlships or battlecruisers for their respective nations, only to be converted into aircraft carriers under compliance of the Washington Naval Treaty. But while the Japanese carriers emphasize an old, traditional motif, Saratoga has a more modern motif. It's even evident in contrasting choices of weaponry between them.
** Also serves as one to Ark Royal. Both of them are the first representative carrier girls for their respective navy. But while Ark Royal is a FlawedPrototype who was lost early in the war, Saratoga is a SuperPrototype who served throughout and survived the war. Heck, their bust sizes and choice of weaponry both contrast.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: She was mentioned by nickname ("Sara-chi") in I-26's 1400-hour line months before she was introduced.
* InSeriesNickname: I-26 calls her Sara-chi. Saratoga refers to herself with diminutive form of her name: Sara.
* JackOfAllStats:
** She has the best overall stats of all the standard carriers ingame: upgraded to Kai, she boasts a massive aircraft capacity of ''90'', split into nearly even slot sizes (one 36-plane slot and three 18-plane slots), and also sports the highest health and 2nd anti-air of all carriers, along with firepower and armor second only to the ''Shoukaku''-class second remodels and Intrepid. All of these make her a MasterOfAll that is highly effective at both opening air strikes and bombing. Also, at least in her base form, she is capable of attacking enemy ships at night with guns like Graf Zeppelin.
** Her Mk. II remodel forms improve everything further, with her standard Mk. II which turns her into a Night Carrier that allow her to perform plane attacks at night without Night Battle Personnel, and her Mk.II Mod.2 version which is an Armored Carrier with the plane capacity equal to ''Shoukaku''-class at regular Kai Ni and the 2nd heaviest armor of all carriers ingame.
* JokeItem: While her stats as an aircraft carrier are outstanding, she is only equipped with early [=WW2=] era planes as her stock equipment, namely the SBD, TBD and [=F4F=] Wildcats. The Wildcat's stat in-game has lower AA stats than a [[StarterEquipment standard issue Zero fighter]], much less a [[AceCustom skilled one]]. Both TBD and SBD are slightly better than their Japanese counterparts, but experienced Admirals would've already have more than enough later generation planes (such as Reppuu and Ryuusei Kai) with better performance available in reserve.
* MarilynManeuver: Her regular CG has her doing a pose similar to this. Particularly odd, considering that she keeps drum magazines inside her dress. Even in her Mk. II CG arts, she's still posing like this.
* MulticoloredHair: Has black streaks in her mostly brown hair.
* NecessaryDrawback: In exchange for her combat power, she has the second highest resource consumption of all the standard carriers after the remodeled ''Shoukaku''-class, the lowest evasion score of all the standard carriers even after her Mk. II remodel, and her Kai remodel downgrades her starting "Medium" range to "Short", along with losing the ability to perform night attacks, though the medium range is regained when remodeled further. Also, both of her Mk II and mod 2 remodels has ''the'' highest resource consumption of the classes she belong to (standard carrier and armored carrier, respectively) in the game.
* PowerupLetdown: Unlike other carriers, she starts off with "Medium" range, but after her Kai remodel her range is reduced to "Short" instead as well as losing her night combat capability. This is most likely due to the
historical Type-3 rounds]] worked.[[labelnote:Explanation]] In essence, they removal of her 8-inch guns and replacing them with 5-inch dual purpose guns. {{Inverted|Trope}} in her Mk.

II remodel only gives minor improvements in most areas. However, she comes with 2 reversible forms: Her Mk.II version, which is a Night Battle Carrier capable of launching aircraft at night using night fighters and the ability to perform night battle cut-ins without Night Battle Personnel; And her Mk.II Mod.2 Armored Carrier form, which [[DiscardAndDraw exchanges]] the night battle capacity for the ability to perform shelling at Medium damage (though still unable to operate jets), grants the largest plane capacity of all Armored Carriers. [[note]]Has a total aircraft capacity of 93, compared to Shoukaku and Zuikaku's capacity of 76 in their armored forms.[[/note]] [[NecessaryDrawback She still has horrible evasion, however]].
* TrouserSpace: A female variation, with her planes stored in stacked and drum magazines ''underneath her dress''.

Succeeding USS ''Ranger'' and building up what the [=USN=] learned from the ''Lexington''-class carriers while still restricted by the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, the ''Yorktown''-class carriers saw most of the early action of the Pacific War after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Three
were battleship-grade shotgun shells, scattering a cloud of hot shrapnel on detonation, with built, USS ''Yorktown'' (CV-5), ''Enterprise'' (CV-6), and ''Hornet'' (CV-8). ''Yorktown'' and ''Hornet'' both sank in 1942 during the aim of taking out enemy aircraft, except subsequent experience showed that they utterly failed in this role. However they proved ''excellent'' at destroying or damaging ground-based structures, and it war, while ''Enterprise'' was scrapped in this function that they were used at Guadalcanal.[[/labelnote]]

[[folder:The ''Essex''-class]]

The most numerous class of fleet carriers built during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII for any nation, at a whopping 24 ships launched between 1942 and 1945. Developed from the preceding ''Yorktown''-class ships, they were 7000 tons heavier, had longer range, and had flight decks which were 10 feet wider than their predecessors. 15 of these ships would go on to serve during the [[WorldWarII/WarInAsiaAndThePacific Pacific War]], with the rest being completed and commissioned immediately following the end of hostilities. None were lost during the war, although at least two of these ships would never be recommissioned following heavy damage they had received late in the Pacific War. They would later see service in UsefulNotes/TheKoreanWar and UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar following repeated modernization, and would also play a role in UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace as recovery ships. They would gradually be phased out of service starting in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with the last, the USS ''Lexington'' (CV-16) being decommissioned in November 1991. Four ships of this class, the aforementioned ''Lexington'', ''Yorktown'' (CV-10), ''Intrepid'' (CV-11), and ''Hornet'' (CV-12) survive as museums throughout the United States.

* JokeCharacter: Gambier Bay is overall the worst light carrier in the game, with the lowest Max HP, Armor, and Evasion of any CVL, the smallest air wing, and low Anti-Air and Line of Sight. Her only stats that aren't low are her Firepower, ASW[[labelnote:*]]Since she's one of four light carriers that has an Anti-Submarine above zero[[/labelnote]], and her surprisingly average Luck.
* LovableCoward: She's terrified of her enemies and most of her current allies, but she'll still fight.
* MasterOfNone: While she ''is'' an escort carrier and her lower stats are counterbalanced by anti-submarine warfare, she's hopelessly outclassed by Taiyou and Zuihou [=K2B=]; the former due to Taiyou's monstrous ASW stats in later forms and her ability to equip many ASW-related items, and the latter by her far superior combat ability. What she ''has'' going for herself though is her lower resource consumption in comparison to the two other ASW-capable light carriers available as of the Winter 2018 event, and the fact she is remodeled more easily than the other two.[[labelnote:*]]All of Taiyou's abilities are gained after two remodels at quite high levels, and her final remodel requires both level 85 and the ultra-rare '''Prototype Flight Deck Catapult'''; Zuihou has it better, but it still takes her a Level 80 to access her ASW-capable form and a metric crapton of flamethrowers on top of that.[[/labelnote]]

Even official derived works also amplifies this trait, like in ''Tonight, Another Salute!'' where she has problem even getting out of a building she's in.

The naval arm of the United Kingdom and ''the'' most powerful naval power in the world until late World War 2. They participated in pretty much all theaters, but after the collapse of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American-British-Dutch-Australian_Command ABDA Command]], the Indian Ocean raid and the need of fleet in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean meant that they didn't participate much in major Pacific engagements until 1944.

* GratuitousEnglish: Jervis and Janus don't use as much as their fellow Brits, but the quality doesn't reach their level - it's more akin to Kongou's usage. [[note]]As Nao Touyama voices both Kongou and Jervis, several users have joked that Jervis was basically a mini-Kongou.[[/note]] While Nelson has a smattering here and there in her lines, it's not to the level of Warspite or Ark Royal's diction.
* InSeriesNickname: "Country of black tea" is used as UK's nickname in various equipment descriptions.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Warspite pronounces "admiral" as "ad-''mire''-al", the only outlier to her otherwise flawless English. This is an ''extremely'' archaic pronunciation. The trope is subverted in regards to Ark Royal's pronunciation of "Admiral" being correct this time, a clear difference with her fellow British comrade Warspite. However, Ark Royal does sound like she also has slight Rhotacism (pronounce R's as W's).
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Apart from her odd pronunciation of "Admiral", Warspite's English is very fluent, moreso than other shipgirls who use GratuitousEnglish. The same applies to Ark Royal's lines as well. Both even have a proper [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents British accent]] when they speak it. Justified, since their voice actress spent a significant amount of time overseas (Australia, to be specific.) However, the English lines tend to slow down a bit.
* PhenotypeStereotype: As with Iowa and Bismarck that came before, Warspite, Jervis, Janus and Nelson are blondes with blue eyes. Ark Royal and Sheffield are the outliers of being a redhead and brunette, respectively.
* SpotOfTea: Much like how coffee is SeriousBusiness for the [=USN=], tea is just as serious for the [=RN=], and many of their hourlies mention on serving it to the admiral
* ThemeNaming: Unlike other nation, British theme naming only applies to a specific class and not across the whole ship type. It's also pretty complicated on how each class is assigned naming scheme. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conventions_for_destroyers_of_the_Royal_Navy For example, this is for destroyers]].
* YouAreNumberSix: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennant_number Pennant numbers]], which are used by the Royal Navy to identify their ships, much like how the US Navy uses their hull numbers.

!!Destroyers (DD)
* ThemeNaming: Royal Navy destroyer classes during the war can be divided in two naming styles: "Letter" and "Concept". "Letter" classes like the J-class use AlphabeticalThemeNaming, where all ships of a class have names (a random mix of nouns and proper names, leaders uses names of famous admirals) that start with the same initial. "Concept" classes like, as an example, the ''Tribal''-class uses names that are based on that concept (Obviously, names of tribes from around the world for the ''Tribal''-class. Canadian and Australian ''Tribal''-class uses names of aboriginal tribes from their respective countries).

[[folder:The ''J''-class]]

The final boss of the Fall 2014 event. [[spoiler: Much like Destroyer Princess, she is blatantly modeled after one of the player's ships, in this case Shoukaku, who sunk in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, which the fourth event map is based on.]]

to:

\n* AnArmAndALeg: AllThereInTheManual: Official supplemental material and the [[https://youtu.be/q7h4HBeAD4I?t=1m43s arcade version]] show that Warspite's rigging has a battle mode where she stands up.
* BigOMG: One of her minor damage quotes has her exclaim this.
* BornLucky: Even more so than Yukikaze, as she has 55 Base luck, which reaches up to ''70'' upon remodel. Capable of hitting '''109''' when fully-modernized. Considering that she had fought in World War I, including at Jutland, ''and'' survived World War II (including two hits from the same Fritz-X bombs that sank Roma), thus becoming ''the'' most decorated ship in the Royal Navy, she certainly deserved such a high luck stat. [[note]]However, all of this still didn't save the real-life ''Warspite'' from [[UndignifiedDeath getting scrapped after running aground in 1947]], despite [[DefiantToTheEnd fighting off attempts to tow her to the scrapyard]]. (Really.
Her legs are amputated tow lines broke during a storm on the way to the scrapyard, and ''Warspite'' ran aground. Then two more tugs damaged themselves trying to pull her off the rocks. But ultimately this just below led to her being scrapped on the hips. She's typically portrayed site where she grounded instead.)[[/note]]
* ClothingDamage: Downplayed; her damaged portrait is rather modest in comparison to other characters. The only parts of her clothing that are torn are her stockings and one sleeve, providing very little {{Fanservice}} as a result. Her being BornLucky is one possible reason for this.
* CoolChair: Her rigging is based on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_Chair Coronation Chair]].
* CoolCrown: Keeping with the royal theme, she wears a tiny crown off-center on her head, attached to a hairband.
* TheDreaded: Zara and Pola run from her in her 2100-hour line, due to her involvement in sinking them in the Battle of Cape Matapan.
* {{Foil}}: To Iowa. While Iowa is the last, youngest, and most advanced of the fast battleship designs, Warspite is the pioneer of the fast battleship concept, and also one of the oldest fast battleships built.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Warspite was mentioned in Libeccio's 1700-hour line.
* HandicappedBadass: Quite a number of fanarts depict her
as being able to hover via whatever those black pieces covering disabled in the remnants legs, requiring her rigging or a wheelchair to move around. While this makes sense (the ship got some damage in the rudder that was never fully fixed), an official concept art shows that she can in fact stand up well, albeit she uses a part of her legs are. From rigging as a cane. In the way Arcade version, she stands upright in the home screen; during a sortie, she'll normally sit down, but if she gets a cut-in attack, there'll be a [[https://youtu.be/q7h4HBeAD4I?t=1m43s special animation]] where she stands up before firing.
* LadyOfWar: Conducts herself in a dignified and composed manner, in keeping with
her cannon looks, nickname, the "Grand Old Lady."
* NecessaryDrawback: To compensate for her excellent firepower, her ludicrously high luck and one of the lowest resource consumption amongst battleships, her speed is listed as "[[MightyGlacier slow]]" [[note]]With a max speed of 23 knots,
she is actually the slowest battleship represented in the game, slower than the Fusou sisters at 24.5 knots; while the ''Queen Elizabeth''-class were considered fast battleships when built with their speed of 24 knots, battleship speeds increased dramatically after UsefulNotes/WorldWarI while Warspite and her sisters ''lost'' a knot of speed while being refitted with improved armour and secondary armament[[/note]] and her actual durability is equivalent to a Second Remodel ''Kongou''-class (lower health but decent armor). She also has the highest level requirement for a single remodel [[note]]at Level 75, it is much higher than Yamato's and is equivalent to the second remodel requirements of three of ''Kongou''-class battleships[[/note]].
* OfCorsetsSexy: Although it
doesn't seem emphasize her "displacement" as much as Iowa's does.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Has the appearance of a young queen, but is historically one of the oldest battleships in the game, being only two years younger than Kongou, and three years younger than Gangut. [[note]]''Warspite'' was laid down on October 31, 1912, launched on November 26, 1913, and commissioned on March 8, 1915, compared

The naval arm of France, they rivaled Great Britain in dominating the sea for centuries until the 20th Century, where it was left behind in the arms race between the budding global superpowers, and further weakened by the fall of France during the Second World War. Many of their ships were either captured by the Germans, destroyed by Allied attacks, or scuttled at Toulon in 1942 to prevent German capture. Some ships, however, managed to defect to the Free French Navy, and saw limited participation in the Atlantic theater, including some rare actions in the Pacific theater as part of British [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Fleet Eastern Fleet]].

* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Seeing as they are {{Moe Anthropomorphism}}s of the Marine Nationale's ships, this trope is in full effect.

This seems to represent her from attacking any surface ships throughout the day shelling phase, superlative firepower compared to other destroyers (by allowing her to crit more often) instead of actual luck (she sank after less than two years in service).

The final boss of Summer 2015. [[spoiler: She is unmistakably the Abyssal counterpart of Teruzuki.]] Historically, she has no obvious World War II parallel, not least because the operation her map is named after never actually happened in real life, but her ridiculous AntiAir stat has drawn comparisons to the late Cold War-era ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arleigh_Burke-class_destroyer Arleigh Burke]]''-class guided missile destroyers and their [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegis_Combat_System Aegis Combat Systems]].

to:

\n%% * BareYourMidriff
ArtisticLicenseHistory: Some Japanese and English literature claims she was renamed back from Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya to Gangut in year 1942, and this is also reflected in her remodeling status and lines in Kancolle. However there are no supporting evidence about the claim from other reliable/first hand Russian or English sources. [[note]]It's not an impossible notion; her sister ships Marat and Parizhskaya Kommuna were reverted to their original names (Petropavlovsk and Sevastopol, respectively) in 1943. It's just that no record exists of anything similar happening to Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya.[[/note]]
* BodyHorror: Much like Light Cruiser Demon, BadassArmFold: Does this as Gangut Dva.
* BoisterousBruiser: Is very loud and enthusiastic about getting into the thick of battle.
* BornLucky: Is one of the battleships with a high base Luck stat, having 35 on her second remodel, due to her having survived the Second World War. Her luck isn't any higher though due to seeing very limited action in both World Wars.
* CoatCape: Wears her white coat as a cape in her Dva form.
* ContraltoOfDanger: On par with Nagato and Musashi. She ''is'' a battleship.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She's initially cold and hard to approach, but as you upgrade her more, she'll slowly open up to the Admiral.
* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Holds one of these in her non-Dva form.
* GratuitousRussian: She occasionally peppers some Russian into her speech.
* HiddenBuxom: She looks flat at first glance, but her Dva damage art shows [[http://en.kancollewiki.net/wiki/File:KanMusu316CGDmg.png she does have breasts]].
* MasterOfNone: Her stats are overall the poorest out of all the battleships in the game, having the weakest firepower, pitiful anti-air, average armor, and a speed of "Slow" despite her "Fast Battleship" classification. Her only saving grace apart from her low maintenance cost (she's cheaper to run than Warspite) is being a torpedo-carrying battleship that gives her good night battle power compared to her peers (and unlike Bismarck does not require two blueprints to achieve this ability), but even then
she's [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cut off at only third to ''Bismarck'' and the waist]] into an Abyssal maw...[[VaginaDentata except Seaplane's ''Yamato''-class in this ability.

MeaningfulRename: Initially named after never actually happened the Battle of Gangut in real life, but 1714, she was later renamed ''Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya'' (October Revolution) after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Her second remodel in-game changes it back to Gangut, though it's doubtful that her ridiculous AntiAir stat name was returned to Gangut historically.
** OverlyLongName: However, her new name is noted to be very long and quite the mouthful to pronounce. She even
has drawn comparisons a line dedicated to that point.

* PhenotypeStereotype: Has white hair that's stereotypically associated with Eastern Europeans in most other Japanese media.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Considering her look, she's definitely this compared to her peers. She's still a battleship after all.
* PowerupLetdown: Her conversion into Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya removes her torpedoes, which means that despite her increased firepower, she has less night battle power than her base Gangut form. Averted with her Dva remodel, which returns her torpedoes for use.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: A smattering of Swedish sprinkled throughout her lines. It's pronounced correctly, although with a clear Japanese accent.
* MasterOfAll: Compared to other 4-slot light cruisers, Gotland Kai is this: she has good combat capabilities and toughness for a CL, unlike the Katoris, can double attack and has good toughness unlike Yuubari, ''and'' have serviceable torpedo power unlike Ooyodo, while possessing higher than average luck (though lower than Ooyodo) ''and'' superlative AA values. She also has a unique AACI after remodel.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Unlike the game's other light cruisers, Gotland can equip seaplane bombers.
* NecessaryDrawback: For all the qualities listed above however, she is held back by her armor rating; six points lower than Nagara and Kuma, two light cruisers that are relatively easy to obtain. Her firepower also doesn't compare to these two. In exchange for her increased AntiAir capabilities upon her remodel, she loses her seaplane-carrying capacity, down to only one plane per slot.
** Given comparison between her four-slot contemporaries, however, she is very well-rounded for a light cruiser as well as having access to some certain quirks she can use to her advantage (like gaining use of Skilled Carrier Aircraft Maintenance Personnel to boost her firepower by 10 and maintain an artillery spotting loadout).
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A blue-gray tinge.

But if we takes it with the context that attacking sub with depth charges is basically sending shock waves to rupture their armor, the Princess's distress is less the usual damaged lines and more like her ribs are crushed by water pressure.

A boss introduced in the Winter 2016 Event. Based on Mindoro Island, she's the main target of the overall event.
----
* AlternateCharacterReading: Does her name means supply depot or chaining islands (archipelago)? As Mindoro Island was both in Operation Rei-Go, this might be intentional.
* BareYourMidriff: Like many who get summer form, she wears a bikini top with shorts in Summer 2017.
* BraidsOfAction: Very long ones, as she circles it around her neck like a scarf. Might be PrehensileHair too, as she has rigging attached to its end.
* ButtMonkey: As her map and her fight aren't really difficult and Okinami is a drop in her node in Winter 2016, many Admirals set their eyes on her as "bullying" target. She even exasperatedly shouted the attacking shipgirls to just go away already now that her stockpiles are burning.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: She can launch closing torpedoes. Being an installation means that your girls cannot return the favour.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Her base form has '''600''' health, equivalent to Midway Princess in her final form.
** The [[DamageSpongeBoss damage sponge]] is emphasized as her large HP pull means she takes a significant amount of ScratchDamage from destroyers.
** Taken to ridiculous extremes in the Summer 2020 event; she's the first character to break 4 digits HP (maxing out at 2400 HP)
* EvilCounterpart: As a bespectacled logistics manager with subpar combat capabilities, she's essentially the Abyssals' version of Ooyodo.
* LogicalWeakness: In addition to the standard installation-type weakness to Type 3 shells, she also takes greatly increased damage from the [[LethalJokeItem Wurfgerät 42 mortar launcher]] (on top of [=WG42=]'s usual bonus against installation), most likely because she's sitting on a massive pile of fuel and ammunition.
* {{Meganekko}}: The first Abyssal to wear glasses, and of course, they're ScaryShinyGlasses.
* PowerFist: Her hands are covered in gauntlets about as thick as her torso, which main purpose seems to be for an easier transport of her drums. As other official artworks shows, she has regular looking and somewhat dainty hands
* TurnsRed: When her boss gauge is depleted, she gains new artwork and increased stats like other major bosses, but she also loses a massive amount of health, which is the first for boss unit, with more bosses (like Central Princess) getting the same treatment after Supply Depot Hime's introduction.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: She wears shorts in her summer form.

[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/141_heavy_cruiser_princess_full.png]]
[[caption-width-right:290:''"Now...burn..."'']]

The final boss of the Winter 2016 Event. [[spoiler: Possibly an Abyssal counterpart to Zara, who is the reward for clearing the event, which would make her the first Abyssal to be the counterpart of a non-Japanese shipgirl.]]
----
* [[AbsoluteCleavage Absolute]] [[CleavageWindow Cleavage Window]]: Her hoodie-dress unzips in the front to show off her breasts and midriff, though its mostly obscured by one of her tentacles.
* BodyHorror: Much like Ne-class, her guns are mounted on two tentacles jutting out of her torso.
* ComicallySerious: Other than her damaged art, her expression never really strays from a uninterested flat gaze, even when doing something silly like playing horsies with her own stomach tentacles.
--> ''Rodeo...''
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Despite being a heavy cruiser, she has opening torpedoes, something no player-controlled heavy cruiser has.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her left stocking is grey and white striped, while her right is just solid white.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports a long black horn on the left side of her forehead and a smaller horn on the right.
* LargeHam: Once she suffers a VillainousBreakdown, she rivals even the Submarine Princess.
* VillainousBreakdown: She sounds very desperate in her final form, losing her smugness and begins to [[LargeHam chew the scenery]].
* ShesGotLegs: Her summer artwork clearly focuses on her legs.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: In her summer form.

A boss introduced in the Spring 2016 Event. [[spoiler:Appears to be the Abyssal counterpart to the ''Kamikaze''-class, though she doesn't represent a particular ship.]]
----
* ArmCannon: Much like Light Cruiser Princess, she has a massive Abyssal creature with guns and torpedoes grafted onto her left arm.
* ClothingDamage: In Princess form, in addition her hair bun gets undone.
* CombatStilettos: She wears high heels.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Despite being a destroyer, she has opening torpedoes, something no player-controlled destroyer has.
* LargeHam: Double points for her high pitched voice.
* PrincessCurls: Sports a single curl on the right side of her head.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Though a little hard to notice with her thigh-high boots.
* SlipknotPonytail: Though it's not visible to the viewer, she seems to have a hair bun on the back of her head that gets undone in her Princess form.

[[caption-width-right:290: ''"Hm... To do things like floating here...or flying here... What busy folks."'']]

A boss introduced in the Spring 2016 Event. [[spoiler: She is a reborn version of Airfield Princess. As her flight deck clearly shows, she is based on Henderson Field after its rebuilding by the Allies in 1943 following the Battle of Guadalcanal.]]
----
* ElegantGothicLolita: Much like Isolated Island Demon, though her dress is white with black trim.
* FlowerMotifs: The ''lycoris radiata'', also known as the red spider lily. As can be seen from their boss gauge, the red spider lily is the "national" flower of the Abyssal Fleet.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports two long horns growing from the side of her head.
* OddNameOut: The only Abyssal to have her name written in katakana.

[[caption-width-right:290: ''"Why... just how... did you come here... Just... How...?"'']]

A boss introduced in ''[=KanColle=] Kai'', representing Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. [[spoiler:She is the Abyssal counterpart to USS ''Arizona'', armed with the same 16-inch [=Mk7=] guns as the USS ''Missouri'', which currently overlooks the Arizona Memorial.]] Like Iowa, she makes her browser game debut in the Spring 2016 Event.
----
* AchillesHeel: Unlike most other installations, she takes a '''massive''' amount of damage from airstrikes, specifically dive bombers. [[spoiler:This is a slight reference to how USS ''Arizona'' was historically sank during the Attack of Pearl Harbor. It wasn't dive bombers that did her in though. She was sunk by torpedo bombers flying at high altitude dropping what were essentially the ''Nagato''-class' 410mm [=AP=] shells from above right onto her deck.]]
* BodyHorror: Her damaged CG depicts her with large sections of her skin missing, exposing her nightmare-ish internals. Even her regular form doesn't really help; she doesn't seem to have a stomach wall, and instead her intestines are spilling out of her belly and connected to her riggings like placental tubes.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Has a whopping 800 HP in ''Kancolle Kai'' on the highest difficulties.
** Her final form in the browser game is even worse, going all the way to 900 HP in E-6 and sporting incredible amounts of armor, the highest of any Abyssal. Unless the player scores a CriticalHit [[LuckBasedMission with initial airstrikes]], sinking her is practically impossible. Things get slightly easier in E-7, where her HP is slightly lower (850 HP in final form) and the player has access to land-based air support, and she gained vulnerability to land tanks.
* FinalBoss: Of ''[=KanColle=] Kai''.
* FullFrontalAssault: She appears to be completely naked.

The final boss for the Fall 2016 event. [[spoiler:She's Saratoga's Abyssal counterpart. Her appearance is based on the [[https://i.imgur.com/RxJ6wqi.jpg mass of corals and aquatic creatures]] growing on the bow of her wreck.]]
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her revealing clothing and her pose gives a good view of her cleavage.
* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler:She takes massive damage from participants of Operation Crossroad (Nagato, Sakawa, Prinz Eugen, and Saratoga). Lampshaded in the 4koma featuring the Fall 2016 event.]]
* AnimalMotif: Jellyfish, with her dress resembling the bell and her hair resembling the arms.
* BoobsOfSteel: She is not lacking in bust.
* FacialHorror: She appears to have metal melted over half her face.
* HumanoidAbomination: Even more so than other Abyssal bosses.
* SkunkStripe: Inverted-She has a single stripe of black hair while the rest is white.

The final boss(es) of the Winter 2017 event. [[spoiler:They're the Abyssal counterparts of I-13 and I-14.]]
----
* AngstySurvivingTwin: The damaged portrait for them shows the black one seemingly crying over the death of the white one.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Their damaged portrait shows the black twin cradling the white twin in her arms and crying in anger over it.
* MilitaryMashupMachine: While they are classified as being aviation battleship, there is implication that they are meant to be a ''submersible'' aviation battleship. [[spoiler:Considering that I-13 and I-14 were designed to be submersible carriers, it is basically adding a third type of ship into the mix.]]
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Both of them wear a SailorFuku-like outfit with no backside.
* UselessUsefulSpell: They have a very high Torpedo stat and are equipped with a High-Speed Abyssal Torpedo (mod.2), which ''should'' let them launch opening torpedoes. Both of these are wasted because they're encountered in the main fleet of an Abyssal Combined Fleet, which doesn't participate in any torpedo phases. Subverted in night battles as the torpedo stat is added to her firepower to allow her to deal high damage.

----
* ArtificialLimbs: Her forearms and elbows are replaced by mechanical counterparts, completed with long spikes at the wrist and [[WolverineClaws razor-sharp blades at the end of the fingertips]].
* BadassCape: A big white fur cape partially covering her arms and rigging.
* BloodKnight: Unlike many other Demons and Princesses who wish for nothing but the sinking of player's ship girls, she is more excited about the fight itself. When she is under attack, instead of screaming in pain or begging player's ship girls to stop, she proudly declares that she will never retreat.
* BoisterousBruiser: She always taunts the player ships, even after she gets a VillainousBreakdown.
* FullFrontalAssault: Only slightly better than the Central Princess, she wears nothing from the thigh up save for the cover for her 'sensitive parts'.
* GiantHandsOfDoom: Her main weapon consists of six 12 inch guns in two triple turrets mounted on a pair of gigantic three-clawed robotic arms.
* GodivaHair: The only thing covering her breasts.
* LargeHam: She is very loud, even more so than anything so far.
* NiceHat: In her normal form, she wears a very tall hat resembling a [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyar_hat gorlatnaya hat (a.k.a. boyar hat)]].
** CoolCrown: her final form reveals that she is wearing a black thorn-like tiara underneath the hat.
* ThongOfShielding: Wears a black C-string thong smaller than the one worn by Southern War Princess.
* VillainousBreakdown: Once her armor is broken, of course she will [[LargeHam only get louder]]. Even more so when she is in final from.

The first boss of Summer 2017 event.
----
* BadassAdorable: Like the Northern Princess, she appears to be a young girl.
* BeefGate : She is this in the final map of Summer 2017, and '''how'''. The boss at that map was guarded by no less than '''four''' Princess-tier Abyssal flagships, and she is the one that is most likely to send your fleet running back.
* DegradedBoss : She is the first boss of the event. Come E7, there are no less than ''three'' of them throughout the map, and you must go through one of her nodes, either to defeat the boss or attacking the enemy supply fleet or base. She even [[LampshadedTrope lampshades]] this when she was sunk at E1.
* YouShallNotPass : In her boss introduction line.

Another boss introduced in Summer 2017, [[spoiler: She is the Abyssal counterpart of Richelieu. Likewise, Richelieu is the reward for defeating her]].
----
* BloodFromTheMouth: In her damaged form.
* BoobsOfSteel: One of the first things players will notice about her is her very large breasts. Then next thing they'll notice is her incredible durability and firepower.
* DamageSpongeBoss: She has 730 HP and even her weakest form has 196 armour, above daytime damage cap, while her toughest has 270, quite close to the night battle damage cap. This means that not much can deal good damage to her.
* HornedHairdo: The upper part of her hair is shaped like bull horns.
* PeekABangs: Her right eye is hidden behind her hair.
* RapunzelHair: In addition of being very long, her hair is also very thick.

----
* BadassCape: A plain white cape with elbow length veil underneath.
* BattleBallgown: She wears an armored dress ''[[UpToEleven with naval guns mounted on it]]''.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: She is holding a black sword loaded into an arbalest which doubles as flight deck.
* CompositeCharacter: Her status as an aviation battleship with 15-inch [[labelnote:note]]converted to cm, it is roughly equivalent to Warspite and Littorio-class's gun caliber, while being only slightly larger than Bismarck and Richelieu's.[[/labelnote]] dual purpose main guns and sonar implies that she is [[spoiler: a composite of the three ships which the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsinkable_Sam Unsinkable Sam]] was abroad (Bismarck, HMS Cossack and Ark Royal)]].
** Given that her main guns are named "Abyssal 15-inch Late Model Twin Gun Mount" [[labelnote:note]]which looks like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL_15-inch_Mk_I_naval_gun BL 15-inch Mk I naval gun in Mk I turret]][[/labelnote]] and she traded her sonar for torpedoes in her final form, it is also possible that she is [[spoiler: a composite of Ark Royal and a British battlecruiser or battleship mounting such guns]].
* CoolCrown: Wearing a crown ''[[NightmareFuel made of teeth]]'', cementing her LadyOfWar appearance.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Has a whopping 880 HP in her final form, with an armor that is well above 200. Thankfully, after doing a debuff your fleet will engage her with 1.3x damage modifier as long as your fleet secures Air Superiority over her fleet.
* HighClassGloves: A pair of partially torn black [[FingerlessGloves fingerless elbow glove]] with armor plates on left forearm.
* LadyOfWar: Unlike previous bosses, she has this appearance. It helps that she has a dolphin-like mechanical beast as her mount.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She appears out of place compared to the other Abyssal bosses, looking like both [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Saber Lily]] and something straight out of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' at the same time.

----
* ActionDressRip: Just enough to show her left thigh.
* ChainedByFashion: Her arms are chained together.
* DragonAscendant: She made her first appearance as the last flunky of the escort fleet for Night Straits Princesses, making the latter even more difficult to defeat in Normal and Hard Mode. After Night Straits Princesses is defeated, she becomes the second boss.
* InTheHood: She wears a white hood.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She is by far the most colorful Abyssal, and looks more like she just got straight out of Gundam or Final Fantasy. She's also not designed by the usual Abyssal artist (Akira), but the same artist who made Air Defense Princess.
* PeekABangs: Her right eye is covered by her hair and hood.
* PunnyName: A part of her name is a pun on "lost child". [[spoiler: This is in reference of Suzutsuki being was presumably lost in action after Operation Ten-go, as well as her loss of gyrocompass and navigational charts from aerial torpedo from said operation.]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: Her turrets have horn-shaped spikes on them.

!!Canal Princess

These two are assistant ships that appear alongside the bosses. They aren't human-like, but they are a common sight when fighting against installation bosses and in the official art. They are depicted as a floating mouth with horns.
----
* AttackDrone: The arcade portrays them as this.
* FakeUltimateMook: While they are unique enemies that often accompany bosses, they are no tougher than a Ri-class flagship - a heavy cruiser. Other than their ability to launch planes.
* OddNameOut: The only boss units that are not a Demon or Princess, and are not even remotely humanoid.
* TakingTheBullet: In the Arcade, they will block projectiles and torpedoes that are fired from your ships to defend their boss. Generally, you can't attack the boss directly because of this, but if you're lucky, sometimes your attacks may [[OneHitPolykill pierce through them and hit the boss anyway]].

* GiantEnemyCrab: Her mount resembles a large crusteacean.

to:

\n* AchillesHeel: Despite BornUnlucky: She starts with 9 luck and her rather intimidating appearance remodel has 10 luck. She is the result of a lot of cost-cutting thanks to the Great Depression and menacing voice, she ''is'' still a submarine, and as such is just as vulnerable to ASW as any other submarine[[labelnote:*]]She is very resistant to damage in her final form at the highest difficulty, but several players had unknowingly defeated her after defeating the Anchorage Water Demon (which lowers her armor) or without, before her armor reduction mechanic was discovered[[/labelnote]]. Furthermore, she was first encountered pacifist movement in the Combined Fleet, which does not apply the scratch damage cap to ASW at night. Add in the fact that Netherlands. As a result, she does not have preemptive torpedo strikes like other submarines[[labelnote:*]]despite being equipped with the same midget submarine that gave the [[DemonicSpiders Battleship Re-class]] their fearsome pre-emptive torpedo strikes[[/labelnote]], and she is considered by many as an AnticlimaxBoss.
* BareYourMidriff: She shows up a in frilly white bikini in Summer 2016.
* BodyHorror: After her armor breaks, she panics and claims that "water is leaking inside". As she's a submarine, it makes sense when she sinks, water leak is even worse than other ships. But if we takes it with the context that attacking sub with depth charges is basically sending shock waves to rupture their armor, the Princess's distress is less the usual damaged lines and more like her ribs are crushed by water pressure.
* CompanionCube: Just like playable submarines, she babytalks her torpedoes. Seeing that those things might be partially sentient, she has more reason to baby her weapons.
* EvilLaugh: She does it in her intro, unless [[VillainousBreakdown you reduced her armor]].
* LargeHam: She is among the hammiest boss so far, especially when she is being attacked. Given her [[StoneWall very high armor]], you'll be hearing her writhing a lot.
* ParasolOfPrettiness: She gains a beach umbrella in Summer 2016.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair is very long, to say the least.
* VillainousBreakdown: After you reduce her armor, she sounds even more crazy.

The final boss
particularly well armed or ''designed''.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Yabai!" is her adjective and exclamative
of predilection. It's translated as either "awful" or "awesome", "terrific" or "terrible" and similar doublets depending on the Fall 2015 event. As that map is a thinly-veiled representation of context.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Named after Dutch Admiral
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vella_Gulf the Battle of Vella Gulf]], she might represent one of the six American destroyers involved. Appearance-wise, she appears to be [[spoiler:the Abyssal counterpart of Hagikaze.]]
----
* AscendedMeme: Fanartists would often draw other Abyssals with their NiceHat detached, such as Wo-class. This Abyssal's art confirms they are detachable.
* EvilLaugh: When attacking.
* FingerGun: Her rigging's left hand is actually a torpedo launcher, with the fingers as the torpedo. This makes her as the Abyssal with the closest rigging equivalent for the shipgirls.
* MultiarmedAndDangerous: She has a pair of large muscular arms protruding from her back.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She is one of the few humanoid Abyssals not drawn by their usual artist. [[spoiler:She's drawn by the same person who also draws Hagikaze, who is obtained after defeating her.]]
* PuzzleBoss: As with Air Defense Princess, she had an armor-reduction mechanic, which is triggered by sending enough PT Imp Packs to Davey Jones' locker. The indication that she has had her armor reduced is when she appears without her helmet.
* TragicKeepsake: The blue ribbon she holds. [[spoiler: It's the same ribbon that secures Kaga's muneate, as Hagikaze was Kaga's escort at the battle of Midway and the ship that scuttled her.]]

A boss introduced in the Winter 2016 Event. Based on Mindoro Island, she's the main target of the overall event.
----
* AlternateCharacterReading: Does her name means supply depot or chaining islands (archipelago)? As Mindoro Island was both in Operation Rei-Go, this might be intentional.
* BareYourMidriff: Like many who get summer form, she wears a bikini top with shorts in Summer 2017.
* BraidsOfAction: Very long ones, as she circles it around her neck like a scarf. Might be PrehensileHair too, as she has rigging attached to its end.
* ButtMonkey: As her map and her fight aren't really difficult and Okinami is a drop in her node in Winter 2016, many Admirals set their eyes on her as "bullying" target. She even exasperatedly shouted the attacking shipgirls to just go away already now that her stockpiles are burning.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: She can launch closing torpedoes. Being an installation means that your girls cannot return the favour.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Her base form has '''600''' health, equivalent to Midway Princess in her final form.
** The [[DamageSpongeBoss damage sponge]] is emphasized as her large HP pull means she takes a significant amount of ScratchDamage from destroyers.
** Taken to ridiculous extremes in the Summer 2020 event; she's the first character to break 4 digits HP (maxing out at 2400 HP)
* EvilCounterpart: As a bespectacled logistics manager with subpar combat capabilities, she's essentially the Abyssals' version of Ooyodo.
* LogicalWeakness: In addition to the standard installation-type weakness to Type 3 shells, she also takes greatly increased damage from the [[LethalJokeItem Wurfgerät 42 mortar launcher]] (on top of [=WG42=]'s usual bonus against installation), most likely because she's sitting on a massive pile of fuel and ammunition.
* {{Meganekko}}: The first Abyssal to wear glasses, and of course, they're ScaryShinyGlasses.
* PowerFist: Her hands are covered in gauntlets about as thick as her torso, which main purpose seems to be for an easier transport of her drums. As other official artworks shows, she has regular looking and somewhat dainty hands
* TurnsRed: When her boss gauge is depleted, she gains new artwork and increased stats like other major bosses, but she also loses a massive amount of health, which is the first for boss unit, with more bosses (like Central Princess) getting the same treatment after Supply Depot Hime's introduction.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: She wears shorts in her summer form.

The final boss of the Winter 2016 Event. [[spoiler: Possibly an Abyssal counterpart to Zara, who is the reward for clearing the event, which would make her the first Abyssal to be the counterpart of a non-Japanese shipgirl.]]
----
* [[AbsoluteCleavage Absolute]] [[CleavageWindow Cleavage Window]]: Her hoodie-dress unzips in the front to show off her breasts and midriff, though its mostly obscured by one of her tentacles.
* BodyHorror: Much like Ne-class, her guns are mounted on two tentacles jutting out of her torso.
* ComicallySerious: Other than her damaged art, her expression never really strays from a uninterested flat gaze, even when doing something silly like playing horsies with her own stomach tentacles.
--> ''Rodeo...''
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Despite being a heavy cruiser, she has opening torpedoes, something no player-controlled heavy cruiser has.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her left stocking is grey and white striped, while her right is just solid white.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports a long black horn on the left side of her forehead and a smaller horn on the right.
* LargeHam: Once she suffers a VillainousBreakdown, she rivals even the Submarine Princess.
* VillainousBreakdown: She sounds very desperate in her final form, losing her smugness and begins to [[LargeHam chew the scenery]].
* ShesGotLegs: Her summer artwork clearly focuses on her legs.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: In her summer form.

* ClothingDamage: In Princess form, in addition her hair bun gets undone.
* CombatStilettos: She wears high heels.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Despite being a destroyer, she has opening torpedoes, something no player-controlled destroyer has.

----
* ElegantGothicLolita: Much like Isolated Island Demon, though her dress is white with black trim.
* FlowerMotifs: The ''lycoris radiata'', also known as the red spider lily. As can be seen from their boss gauge, the red spider lily is the "national" flower of the Abyssal Fleet.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports two long horns growing from the side of her head.

A boss introduced in ''[=KanColle=] Kai'', representing Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. [[spoiler:She is the Abyssal counterpart to USS ''Arizona'', armed with the same 16-inch [=Mk7=] guns as the USS ''Missouri'', which currently overlooks the Arizona Memorial.]] Like Iowa, she makes her browser game debut in the Spring 2016 Event.
----
* AchillesHeel: Unlike most other installations, she takes a '''massive''' amount of damage from airstrikes, specifically dive bombers. [[spoiler:This is a slight reference to how USS ''Arizona'' was historically sank during the Attack of Pearl Harbor. It wasn't dive bombers that did her in though. She was sunk by torpedo bombers flying at high altitude dropping what were essentially the ''Nagato''-class' 410mm [=AP=] shells from above right onto her deck.]]
* BodyHorror: Her damaged CG depicts her with large sections of her skin missing, exposing her nightmare-ish internals. Even her regular form doesn't really help; she doesn't seem to have a stomach wall, and instead her intestines are spilling out of her belly and connected to her riggings like placental tubes.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Has a whopping 800 HP in ''Kancolle Kai'' on the highest difficulties.
** Her final form in the browser game is even worse, going all the way to 900 HP in E-6 and sporting incredible amounts of armor, the highest of any Abyssal. Unless the player scores a CriticalHit [[LuckBasedMission with initial airstrikes]], sinking her is practically impossible. Things get slightly easier in E-7, where her HP is slightly lower (850 HP in final form) and the player has access to land-based air support, and she gained vulnerability to land tanks.
* FinalBoss: Of ''[=KanColle=] Kai''.
* FullFrontalAssault: She appears to be completely naked.

----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her revealing clothing and her pose gives a good view of her cleavage.
* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler:She takes massive damage from participants of Operation Crossroad (Nagato, Sakawa, Prinz Eugen, and Saratoga). Lampshaded in the 4koma featuring the Fall 2016 event.]]
* AnimalMotif: Jellyfish, with her dress resembling the bell and her hair resembling the arms.

----
* AngstySurvivingTwin: The damaged portrait for them shows the black one seemingly crying over the death of the white one.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Their damaged portrait shows the black twin cradling the white twin in her arms and crying in anger over it.
* MilitaryMashupMachine: While they are classified as being aviation battleship, there is implication that they are meant to be a ''submersible'' aviation battleship. [[spoiler:Considering that I-13 and I-14 were designed to be submersible carriers, it is basically adding a third type of ship into the mix.]]
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Both of them wear a SailorFuku-like outfit with no backside.
* UselessUsefulSpell: They have a very high Torpedo stat and are equipped with a High-Speed Abyssal Torpedo (mod.2), which ''should'' let them launch opening torpedoes. Both of these are wasted because they're encountered in the main fleet of an Abyssal Combined Fleet, which doesn't participate in any torpedo phases. Subverted in night battles as the torpedo stat is added to her firepower to allow her to deal high damage.

* ArtificialLimbs: Her forearms and elbows are replaced by mechanical counterparts, completed with long spikes at the wrist and [[WolverineClaws razor-sharp blades at the end of the fingertips]].
* BadassCape: A big white fur cape partially covering her arms and rigging.
* BloodKnight: Unlike many other Demons and Princesses who wish for nothing but the sinking of player's ship girls, she is more excited about the fight itself. When she is under attack, instead of screaming in pain or begging player's ship girls to stop, she proudly declares that she will never retreat.
* BoisterousBruiser: She always taunts the player ships, even after she gets a VillainousBreakdown.
* FullFrontalAssault: Only slightly better than the Central Princess, she wears nothing from the thigh up save for the cover for her 'sensitive parts'.
* GiantHandsOfDoom: Her main weapon consists of six 12 inch guns in two triple turrets mounted on a pair of gigantic three-clawed robotic arms.
* GodivaHair: The only thing covering her breasts.
* LargeHam: She is very loud, even more so than anything so far.
* NiceHat: In her normal form, she wears a very tall hat resembling a [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyar_hat gorlatnaya hat (a.k.a. boyar hat)]].
** CoolCrown: her final form reveals that she is wearing a black thorn-like tiara underneath the hat.
* ThongOfShielding: Wears a black C-string thong smaller than the one worn by Southern War Princess.

* BeefGate : She is this in the final map of Summer 2017, and '''how'''. The boss at that map was guarded by no less than '''four''' Princess-tier Abyssal flagships, and she is the one that is most likely to send your fleet running back.
* DegradedBoss : She is the first boss of the event. Come E7, there are no less than ''three'' of them throughout the map, and you must go through one of her nodes, either to defeat the boss or attacking the enemy supply fleet or base.

----
* BloodFromTheMouth: In her damaged form.
* BoobsOfSteel: One of the first things players will notice about her is her very large breasts. Then next thing they'll notice is her incredible durability and firepower.
* DamageSpongeBoss: She has 730 HP and even her weakest form has 196 armour, above daytime damage cap, while her toughest has 270, quite close to the night battle damage cap. This means that not much can deal good damage to her.
* HornedHairdo: The upper part of her hair is shaped like bull horns.

* BattleBallgown: She wears an armored dress ''[[UpToEleven with naval guns mounted on it]]''.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: She is holding a black sword loaded into an arbalest which doubles as flight deck.
* CompositeCharacter: Her status as an aviation battleship with 15-inch [[labelnote:note]]converted to cm, it is roughly equivalent to Warspite and Littorio-class's gun caliber, while being only slightly larger than Bismarck and Richelieu's.[[/labelnote]] dual purpose main guns and sonar implies that she is [[spoiler: a composite of the three ships which the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsinkable_Sam Unsinkable Sam]] was abroad (Bismarck, HMS Cossack and Ark Royal)]].
** Given that her main guns are named "Abyssal 15-inch Late Model Twin Gun Mount" [[labelnote:note]]which looks like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL_15-inch_Mk_I_naval_gun BL 15-inch Mk I naval gun in Mk I turret]][[/labelnote]] and she traded her sonar for torpedoes in her final form, it is also possible that she is [[spoiler: a composite of Ark Royal and a British battlecruiser or battleship mounting such guns]].
* CoolCrown: Wearing a crown ''[[NightmareFuel made of teeth]]'', cementing her LadyOfWar appearance.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Has a whopping 880 HP in her final form, with an armor that is well above 200. Thankfully, after doing a debuff your fleet will engage her with 1.3x damage modifier as long as your fleet secures Air Superiority over her fleet.
* HighClassGloves: A pair of partially torn black [[FingerlessGloves fingerless elbow glove]] with armor plates on left forearm.
* LadyOfWar: Unlike previous bosses, she has this appearance. It helps that she has a dolphin-like mechanical beast as her mount.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She appears out of place compared to the other Abyssal bosses, looking like both [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Saber Lily]] and something straight out of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' at the same time.

* ChainedByFashion: Her arms are chained together.
* DragonAscendant: She made her first appearance as the last flunky of the escort fleet for Night Straits Princesses, making the latter even more difficult to defeat in Normal and Hard Mode. After Night Straits Princesses is defeated, she becomes the second boss.
* InTheHood: She wears a white hood.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She is by far the most colorful Abyssal, and looks more like she just got straight out of Gundam or Final Fantasy. She's also not designed by the usual Abyssal artist (Akira), but the same artist who made Air Defense Princess.
* PeekABangs: Her right eye is covered by her hair and hood.
* PunnyName: A part of her name is a pun on "lost child". [[spoiler: This is in reference of Suzutsuki being was presumably lost in action after Operation Ten-go, as well as her loss of gyrocompass and navigational charts from aerial torpedo from said operation.]]

----
* AttackDrone: The arcade portrays them as this.
* FakeUltimateMook: While they are unique enemies that often accompany bosses, they are no tougher than a Ri-class flagship - a heavy cruiser. Other than their ability to launch planes.
* OddNameOut: The only boss units that are not a Demon or Princess, and are not even remotely humanoid.
* TakingTheBullet: In the Arcade, they will block projectiles and torpedoes that are fired from your ships to defend their boss. Generally, you can't attack the boss directly because of this, but if you're lucky, sometimes your attacks may [[OneHitPolykill pierce through them and hit the boss anyway]].

!!Event-exclusive ships
!!The Fleet of Fog
During the Fall 2013 Anime season, the anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel aired, coinciding with much of Kantai Collection's rapid rise in popularity and recognition. Naturally, a collaboration between the two franchises was inevitable. It started with a few endcards in the anime with some Arpeggio ships paired with their [=KanColle=] counterparts, and culminated in a crossover event in the [=KanColle=] game running from 24 December 2013 to 8 January 2014. During this time, certain ships from the Fleet of Fog were usable as temporary allied units and certain others acted as enemy, which both types were removed when the event ended.\\\

All ships of the enemy!Fleet of Fog retained their anime voices, had hourly lines The ship library did not include them either. They also retained their personalities, and a number of their lines were references to the anime (although there was no mention of Gunzou).\\\

For the tropes depicting the Fleet of Fog in the Arpeggio anime, please see [[Characters/ArpeggioOfBlueSteel here]]. For the tropes depicting the allied Fleet of Fog, please see [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/KantaiCollectionFive here]].

!The Abyssal Fleet

The opponents faced by the player's fleet. The game itself says little about their origins, but the print spin-offs put forward the idea that they are an ''alien'' menace, and what's more are utterly hostile to humanity as a whole, plaguing the world's shipping lanes with unprovoked attacks.

While popular fan theory posits that the Abyssals, particularly its more humanoid members, are actually just turned Fleet Girls like your own playable ships, hints in the Summer 2014[=/=]Aleutians-Midway Event add even ''more'' speculation fuel [[spoiler:as it's obliquely hinted through their lines that the Midway Princess and the Carrier Princess are dark reflections of Akagi and Kaga, respectively. The 2014 Fall Event in Western New Guinea implies that Aircraft Carrier Water Oni is Shoukaku's dark side]]. Players familiar with the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona franchise, particularly with VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'s Shadows, found grim humor at this implication.

----
!!Universal Tropes
* AnimateInanimateObject: While not really appearing as enemies, some of the [=CGs=] shows some objects what have been Abyssalified. Submarine Princess' artwork shows her with two living torpedoes, Z3's Summer 2016 damaged artwork shows her being creeped up by a living naval mine with tentacles, and Escort Water Princess has her accompanied with living lifebuoys.
* BlandNameProduct: Some of the equipment used by them, like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F6F_Hellcat "Cat Fighter"]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_TBF_Avenger "Revenge Torpedo Bomber"]]... well, it doesn't take a genius to see why many players think the Abyssals represent the Allies.
* BodyHorror: Some of the smaller or weaker Abyssal Ships are disturbing, to say the least. Fanon WildMassGuessing has the knack of taking this to FridgeHorror levels.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Since the ships do not have official individual names (like Kongou, Kirishima, etc.) when their name and class are used together to refer to them, this scheme ends up having stuff like Battleship "Battleship Princess" being common.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The dark haired Abyssals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're definitely alien, particularly the starter opponents.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: For some unknown reason, the ones based on airfields (which are islands) besides Harbor Water Demon and Anchorage Water Demon have existent (albeit low) Evasion stats. How does an ''island'', a '''completely''' stationary object, evade gunfire?
** Taken even further starting from Winter 2016 Event, as defeating the boss in an event map would clear off the red mist off the map, thereby implying it had been freed from Abyssal's influence. When you visit said map again after clearing it, [[UnexplainedRecovery the mist are still there]], and so are the Abyssals.
* GrayscaleOfEvil: They're all white-skinned, wear white or black hair and clothing, have mechanical parts in black or dark metallic grays, and are waging war on humankind.
* HumanoidAbomination: There's also obviously something ''off'' about the humanoid representatives of the Abyssal Fleet. The fact that many seem to be hard-wired with weaponry reminiscent of something you'd expect to find in Creator/HRGiger's work does ''not'' help matters.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Most, if not all, of them incorporate a big pair of chompers in their designs, some of which are hiding [[NestedMouths more rows of teeth]].
* {{Oni}}: Horned Abyssals tend to look like them, Battleship Princess in particular. To support this, the "Demon" in the names of the ships is written in the kanji for "Oni", which has prompted endless speculation since.
* ThePrettyGuysAreStronger: Unlike the clearly inhuman mooks, all ''Demon'' and ''Princess'' ships are [[ItMakesSenseInContext girls with]] [[MechaMooks massive abominations]]. In the original Iroha order, they even progressively take a more human appearance.
* RevenantZombie: Many fans theorize that they [[WasOnceAMan used to be normal shipgirls]] who sank and then got reanimated due to their grudge, akin to the "vengeful ghost" concept. It helps (or perhaps doesn't) that some of the Abyssal bosses look similar to some of the shipgirls. The 4koma also says something along those lines, while [[spoiler:TheMovie spells it out loud]].
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: The first Abyssal ships that rookie Admirals will encounter at the start of their careers are comparatively weak Destroyers and Light Cruisers. The further afield they sortie however, they'll soon run into Heavy Cruisers and Carriers, and by the time they hit the end of World 2, they're introduced to the formidable Fleet Carriers and Battleships. When they finally arrive at world 5, "normal" Abyssal ships have mostly given way to [[EliteMook Elite and Flagship versions]], and what's more, an Admiral's fleet will have to face powerful Abyssal ''bosses'' (Demon-class and Princess-class) guarding important nodes.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Frequently, ranging from 'wearing a thong with no skirt or trousers' to 'wearing a bikini' to 'might as well be wearing nothing at all'. Of particular note here are Ta, Ri, Armored Aircraft Carrier Demon, Southern Ocean War Princess, and Airfield Princess.
** The damaged model of Airfield Princess, which appeared in Summer 2015 event, shows that she is actually wearing a [[LeotardOfPower white leotard]].
* TechnicolorEyes: Generally, how they tell the difference in their ranks. Otherwise, everyone is assumed to have them by default.
** GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: Every one has glowing eyes, although [[WildMassGuessing there is a lot of guessing that the ships were previously sunken ships]].
** RedEyesTakeWarning: All Elite variants and major bosses have red eyes. They even glow brightly as they attack.
** SupernaturalGoldEyes: Flagship rank, the even stronger variants of common mooks, are denoted by gold eyes.
** GlowingEyesOfDoom: And the most recent introduction of remodeled Flagship rank enemies. One of their eyes glows blue on top of their golden aura.
-->''Music/BlackRockShooter + [[VisualPun Wo-class Kai]] = [[MemeticMutation Black Wock Shooter]]''
* TurnsRed:
** All 3 of the Summer '14 bosses do this when the gauge is one kill from being destroyed. They even receive a bright red glow on them. Especially noticeable on Midway Princess and Aircraft Carrier Princess, whose bodies have glowing veins appearing all over.
** Light Cruiser Oni and Battleship Water Oni in the Winter 2015 have a similar harder form which appears depending on both the completion bar and the difficulty selected.
* UndeathlyPallor: Absolute white skin, which goes along nicely with the GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath.
* WeHaveReserves: For a good reason. The Abyssal fleet seem to never run out of ships, mainly it's common ships... Which often later appear in stronger forms.
* WeWillMeetAgain[=/=]IShallReturn: Some of the enemy bosses will tend to say this, for a good [[DeathIsCheap reason]].
-->''Anchorage'': "I...will return back...To above the blue sea..."
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: The white-haired Abyssals.

[[folder:General Enemy Units]]

The standard Abyssal ships, divided into the same ship classes as the shipgirls. While they lack the variety and personality of the shipgirls, they make up for it with [[WeHaveReserves numbers]].

!Destroyers
!!!I-Class

* AttackAttackAttack: Shown off in the anime. Unlike much of the Abyssals which prefer to lay back and shoot with the cannons from afar, the I-class on more than one occasion go straight up to their opposing fleet and ''shoot them point-blank.''
* TheGoomba: The weakest enemy in the game. However, their Flagship and Late Model version, turn them into GoddamnBats.
* TookALevelInBadass: The Summer 2015 event introduced the fiendishly strong Elite Late Model Kai version, which sports a menacing blood red aura and enough firepower and torpedoes to demolish even heavy cruisers in one shot.
* ZergRush: Both in game and in the anime, I-class are easily the most plentiful Abyss ships and among the weakest.

!!!Ro-Class

%% * SlasherSmile
* TookALevelInBadass: In later events they appear later in their (Elite) Late Model version. As they carry powerful Anti-Submarine equipment that can be a bane to submarines. Like the I-class, it's Elite Late Model sports a menacing blood red aura.

!!!Ha-Class

* CyberCyclops: Resembles a gigantic cyclopean skull or an Oni-mask.
* TookALevelInBadass: In later events they appear later in their (Elite) Late Model version. With addition of the ASW patch, they can perform opening anti submarine attack.

!!!Ni-Class

* CyberCyclops: Shares this appearance with Ha-Class, but without the lower jaw.
* TookALevelInBadass: In later events they appear later in their (Elite) Late Model version.


!!!Na-Class
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Stronger versions have opening torpedo, which no player-usable destroyer has.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Has a gleaming purple eyes partially covered in metallic plate. It was uncovered in Late Model versions, making their eyes fits this trope to a T.
* NestedMouths: Has at least two jaws, with a cannon for a tongue.

!Cruisers
!!!Light Cruiser Ho-Class

%% * GodivaHair
%% * [[ManInTheMachine Woman In The Machine]]

!!!Light Cruiser He-Class

%% * ArmCannon
%% * CoolMask

!!!Light Cruiser To-Class
%% * MultipleHeadCase

!!!Light Cruiser Tsu-Class

The strongest regular light cruiser. Their strong AntiAir abilities imply that they represent the US Navy's ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta-class_cruiser Atlanta]]''-class cruisers.
----
* AntiAir: They have unique medium ranged dual purpose guns, which some speculate allow them to perform Anti-Air Cut-Ins.
** Which makes them the GoddamnedBats in maps that requires a significant number of carriers, as they can and will turn the skies into a goddamned turkey shoot in their favor.
%% * BareYourMidriff
%% * FashionableAsymmetry
* KingMook: The most powerful Light Cruiser type enemy in the game, they also show up as bosses in some maps, especially those that are restricted to small ships.
* PowerFist: Her arms and hands are gigantic, and make her look quite a bit like [[Music/BlackRockShooter Strength]].

!!!Torpedo Cruiser Chi-Class

* ArmCannon: They also visibly used it in the anime.
%% * BareYourMidriff
* CoolMask: Covers nearly her entire face, with only the mouth and glowing left eye exposed.
* EvilCounterpart: To Kitakami and Ooi, given they were historically the only ships with that classification.

!!!Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class

Your run-of-the-mill Abyssal Heavy Cruisers. With their combination of triple 8-inch main batteries and 21-inch torpedo launchers, they seem to represent one of two classes of [=USN=] heavy cruisers built under the limits of the Washington Naval Treaty, the ''[[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/ca-24.htm Pensacola]]'' and ''[[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/ca-26.htm Northampton]]'' classes.[[note]]The [=US=] was the only nation that fielded a triple 8-inch main battery, with everyone else going for singles or twin turrets. While there were five classes of "Treaty Cruisers" (Portland, New Orleans, and Wichita being the other three), the Pensacola and Northampton classes were the only [=USN=] heavy cruisers that were armed with torpedo tubes as built, and even then, those tubes were removed in the mid-1930s, long before the start of the Second World War.[[/note]]
----
%% * BareYourMidriff
* BoyishShortHair: She might be the only short haired Abyssal so far.
* PowerFist: Wields her ship parts as a pair of gauntlets, one being an ArmCannon and the other the Abyssal Fleet's signature giant maw.
* KingMook: Her remodelled flagship version, often called Black Rick Shooter or BRS which show up as bosses in some maps.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Easily among the least covered out of all the humanoid Abyssals, though she wears more than others such as the Southern Ocean War Princess whose hair is the only thing covering her breasts, and the Armored Aircraft Carrier Princess who wears nothing -- not even any thigh-highs.

!!!Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class

The strongest of the Abyssal Heavy Cruisers. While they share the same basic armament set up as the lesser Ri-Class (Triple 8-inchers backed up by torpedoes) making them represent the same two classes of [=USN=] heavy cruisers as the Ri-class, their high stats, in particular their high luck, heavily imply they represent the Royal Navy's HMAS ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Australia_(D84) Australia]]''.
----
* BodyHorror: Her cannons are embedded in fleshy tentacles extending out from ''her stomach!''
* BossInMookClothing: The flagship and Kai variants can launch planes and have boss-like stats.
* EvilCounterpart: Of the ''Mogami''-class heavy cruisers, specifically Suzuya.
* HighCollarOfDoom: One that appears to be made of teeth, like Midway Princess.
* KingMook: Of Heavy Cruiser
* PeekABangs: Except her right eye isn't exactly covered by her hair, but by some GreyGoo-like covering.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In contrast to the black-haired Ri-class.

!Battleships
!!!Ru-Class

* BossInMookClothing: Her Flagship variant makes her this. She also gain the remodeled flagship variant in Spring 2014, also known as Black Ruck Shooter or BRS just as the Ri-class.
* EvilCounterpart: To slow-speed player Battleships, specifically the ''Nagato''-class.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark feminine to Ta-Class's light feminine.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The size and shape of her ship parts resemble massive shields, and she's certainly well protected.
* MightyGlacier: The strongest and tougest regular Abssyal Battleship players will encounter in the game. With each version becoming tougher and harder to kill. Goes UpToEleven with her Kai Flagship version.
%% * SensualSpandex
* WakeUpCallBoss: Her first appearance in 1-3 boss node often comes as a nasty surprise to new players.

!!!Ta-Class

* BadassCape: With a single piece of shoulder armor on the left shoulder.
* BareYourMidriff: Thanks to her small sailor uniform.
* DegradedBoss: First appearing as the flagship of 2-5's boss node, she quickly gets demoted to being flagship of mook nodes or escort to proper bosses.
* EvilCounterpart: To player-controlled fast battleships, like the ''Kongou''-class and Bismarck.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The light feminine to Ru-Class's dark feminine.
* SailorFuku: A short one with a thong and no skirt.

!!!Re-Class
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/re_class_8.png]]

The Re-class is something of a mystery, as she matches no Allied ship directly. However, fandom frequently associates her with the 1977 proposed conversion of the ''Iowa''-class battleships, which would have given them an aft flight deck for Harrier jumpjets and ASW helicopters, multiple vertical launch anti-ship missile systems, and retained their forward turrets.
----
* AHeadAtEachEnd: She has a tail-like extension which had a head at the tip.
* BadassAdorable: Very cute and younger-looking than the other battleships, yet by far the toughest of the non-boss Abyssal ships. Her small size has led to speculation that she represents Taffy 3.
* BossInMookClothing: Her Elite model is encountered as a standard enemy, yet has better torpedoes that the Chi-class Torpedo cruiser, and more and better aircraft slots ''than the Airfield Princess''.
** Keep in mind that she still has ''two more upgrades'', Flagship and Flagship Kai, that have yet to see the light of day. Most players dread the day when these versions show up to [[IncrediblyLamePun wREck]] their fleets.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Not only can she launch both preemptive and closing torpedoes, which is currently impossible for any player-obtainable battleship, she can also launch seaplane bombers to participate in aerial combat and attack submarines.
* FriendOrFoe: In the ''Girl of the Whirlwind'' manga, when enraged, she'll attack her targets regardless of who or what is in the way. Just ask that poor I-class that got vaporized when it was trying to charge the destroyer shipgirls and crossed into the Re-class' line of fire. This is also why fellow Abyssals stay the hell away from her during their operations.
* LightningBruiser: Able to target submarines and [[MoreDakka participate in every single phase of combat]]. Re-class is the bane of many players.
* MemeticHandGesture: It looks like she's saluting, but [[OhCrap most people]] have interpreted it as a [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "This will not end well"]], [[TitleDrop her own name]], or both.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While most of the Abyssals, save for Wo-Class, are covered in machinery and have an evil cyborg vibe, Re has a thick, eel-like tail extending from her lower back that ends in an animalistic head.
** Since her tail bears more design aesthetics of the other Abyssal ships, [[WildMassGuessing some speculate that the tail is the real Re-Class and the cute girl is just a decoy.]]
* NothingUpMySleeve: In the ''Girl of the Whirlwind'' manga, Re-Class has a hidden cannon up her sleeve.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Fits well for the most powerful standard abssyal ship in the game.
* SlasherSmile: Although some find that her grin looks more cheerful and friendly than malicious or threatening.

!Aircraft Carriers
!!!Light Carrier Nu-Class

* HumanoidAbomination: Its gangling limbs give it the appearance of a stunted or underdeveloped Wo-class.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The flagship variety can attack at night. Until Fall 2015 introduced Graf Zeppelin, who attacks with guns at night, none of the playable carriers could return the favour.
* TookALevelInBadass: By the Spring Event of 2017, they appear in Elite and Flagship Kai version. As they can now attack further in range (listed as Very Long), they can perform "Opening Anti Submarine attack" making them a big threat in the battlefield.

!!!Standard Carrier Wo-Class
[[quoteright:232:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wo_class_1.png]]
----
* AnimalMotifs: She's commonly compared to a jellyfish or octopus.
* AscendedExtra: She was obtainable as a pre-order bonus for the Kantai Collection deck in ''TabletopGame/WeissSchwarz''.
%% * BadassCape
* BossInMookClothing: The remodeled flagship variety, known as Black Wock Shooter. Double points that this variety [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard can attack at night]].
** In Fall 2016 she gains a variant which carries Medium Bombers.
%% * CombatStilettos
* CompositeCharacter: Wo-class doesn't seem to represent a specific type of RealLife carrier, which many speculated that she might represent several Allied Carriers depending on her form.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Just like the Nu-class, the Flagship variety can attack at night and at medium damage/orange status. Woe betide an unfortunate admiral whose fleet fails to sufficiently damage a Flagship Wo-class, or one of the later upgrades...
* EvilCounterpart: Speculated to be this to the ''Shoukaku''-class.
* NiceHat: [[MindScrew Or whatever that thing on top of her head is]]. It has a grinning mouth, gun turrets on the side, and tentacles hanging off the botton. Fandom has apparently taken Franchise/TouhouProject [[EpilepticTrees logic]] and assumed it to be detachable as well.
** It is shown in the anime that it contains her planes.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Wo has a noticeably organic and alien visual aspect compared to the other Abyssal ships.
* PokemonSpeak: Frequently depicted speaking like this. Otherwise her name is used as a VerbalTic.
* SensualSpandex: Wears a tight bodysuit.
* StaffOfAuthority: Wields what appears to be a walking stick or cane and deals damage by controlling planes.

!Transport Ships
!!!Wa-Class

* BodyHorror: While most of the Abyssal ships are grade-A NauseaFuel, Wa deserves special mention because not only does it look like her head has been removed and replaced, it also looks like she might be ''[[FridgeHorror pregnant]]''.
** Some speculates that they probably carry captured ship-girls... Or worse humans.
* ChainedByFashion: Her arms are [[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Transport_Ship_Wa-Class securely clamped]] to the larger Abyssal ship she's connected to.
* JokeCharacter: While the Elite and Flagship versions are capable of dealing damage to lighter ships like Destroyers and Cruisers, most Wa-class ships merely serve as temporary distractions.
** LethalJokeCharacter: However, that light damage they deal can sometimes mean the difference between victory and being forced to retreat due to critical damage. They also like to draw fire from your stronger ships that you would otherwise prefer to be aimed at something that can hurt you, like the escorting Ru or Ta battleships.
* PinataEnemy: There is even a daily and a weekly quest to hunt them down.
* StoneWall: They have pathetic firepower, outright nonexistent for the most basic form. However, the basic form has more health than heavy cruisers and the stronger forms are on par with battleships.

!Submarines

* {{Expy}}: All Abyssal subs resemble a StringyHairedGhostGirl rising out of the water and as her hair covers her face, in a manner similar to [[Literature/TheRing Sadako]].
* PeekABangs: Their faces are mostly obscured by their hair.

!!!Ka-Class

* GasMaskMook: Wears what appears to be a scuba diving apparatus.

!!!Yo-Class

%% * [[ManInTheMachine Woman In The Machine]]

!!!So-Class

%% * AbsoluteCleavage
* KingMook: The toughest and strongest of the standard abssyal submarines with a stat to boot.
* MightyGlacier: They have as much HP as your Light Cruisers, but have very low evasion in return which can be a big problem without proper anti-submarine equipment.

!PT Boats

!!!PT Imp Pack
[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pt_imp_pack.png]]
----
* BodyHorror: While the older one looks otherwise normal, the middle has her gun jammed to the inside of her mouth, forcing it to permanently open, while the youngest doesn't look like she has a normal head inside the helmet.
* EnfantTerrible: They look like ''infants.''
* FragileSpeedster: Even moreso than any other Abyssals, as they have incredible evasion and low HP, and is just one good aim from oblivion. [[LuckBasedMission Good luck on landing a hit on them]], though...
* GamebreakingBug: During the first two days of their implementation, the mechanics that give an accuracy boost to destroyers' guns were not properly implemented, which made the Imps [[DemonicSpiders nearly impossible to kill]] as destroyers were unable to hit them. It got to the point where admirals had to rely on cruiser or battleship secondary guns, or even '''[[DeathFromAbove support airstrikes]]''' ''[[ThereIsNokillLikeOverkill just to take them down]]''.
** After the hotfix, the destroyers can now hit the PT boats... [[LuckBasedMission at about half of the time]]. Thankfully the destroyers can hit them reliably on subsequent events.
* GigglingVillain: If they're attacking, they let out a giggle. You will hear it a lot.
* GlassCannon: Despite their fragility, the stronger forms can do torpedo cut-ins, which are incredibly damaging if they connect.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The "eyes" on their helmets (think Wo's headgear) blaze blue and white.
* MiniMook: They're so small and quick to the point where the large caliber guns can barely hit them.
* TerribleTrio: They're always encountered as a trio per enemy unit, which makes them the only {{Mook}} type Abyssal unit that appears in group.
* ZergRush: While they are not that strong or durable, each pack contains three imps and there are usually two or more packs at a time. For example, in Fall 2015 E-3 on Easy mode, there is one node where you can get a battle with a Flagship I-Class and ''five'' PT Imp Packs, what would equal 15 imps in total.

!Coastal Installations

!!!Artillery Imp
The small CompanionCube of Installation-type Abyssal Princess, much like in RealLife where their duty is to protect Naval Bases or Islands such as Wake Island from naval invasion.
----
* BodyHorror: Its entire ''head'' is replaced by a gun turret, and its arms are metal-covered stubs.
* EnfantTerrible: Wears what looks like a metal diaper, and the only exposed body parts are the legs of a baby.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: Unlike other installation-type enemies, they cannot be shotgunned with Type-3 shells, as they are considered hard targets, which Type-3 shells are ineffective against. Rocket barrages with the [=WG42=] ship-to surface rocket launcher will work as usual, while Type 91 [=AP=] rounds will easily defeat their armor. Failing that, equipping your girls with Daihatsu Landing Crafts loaded with infantry and having them storm the bunkers is also a viable choice. They also take vicious damage from Land-based Bombers.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Boss Units]]

The most powerful and [[ThePrettyGuysAreStronger human looking]] members of the Abyssal Fleet, these units are for the most part unique and guard specific key locations. Most are based on real-life locations.
----
* BonusBoss: Any of the Event bosses.
* CameBackStrong: Many of the Event bosses were fought and sunk multiple times during their respective events, growing more powerful each time.
** Taken to new levels by Anchorage Princess, who returned two years after their initial debuts as ultra powerful Water Demon bosses for the Spring 2015 event.
* CatchPhrase: All have at most 10 different voiced lines when encountered. However, they all have some variant of "Sink!".
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Many of them are capable of firing torpedoes ''and'' launching carrier based planes, in addition to having a standard attack, which is impossible for any player controlled ship. Some of the destroyer-types also fire opening torpedoes, which no player-usable destroyer can do.
* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:Implied by Midway Princess and Aircraft Carrier Princess's sinking line upon clearing the stage. As they spoke their LastWords, their voices change from the Abyssals' menacing echoes to a soft, human voice, as though they became free from the corruption, this seems to be a trend with the bosses now has all the new bosses since the summer 2014 event also do this for their sinking lines.]]
* EvilIsBigger: As demonstarted in ''Kancolle Arcade'', the Installation Princesses are much (even magnitudes) taller than their seafaring counterparts and the Shipgirls, even the child-like cute-as-a-button Hoppou.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: In ''Kancolle Kai'' credit, they all collectively called the Deep Sea (Abyssal) Queens.
* HornedHumanoid: Many of them have horns, even in places that shouldn't make sense (for example, Airfield and Submarine Princess have horns on their lower back). Takes the whole "[[StealthPun Horned Node]]" to a different level.
* MechaMooks: Unlike the regular abyssal units, which wear their ship weapons on their bodies, the bosses' weapons-at least the ones based on ships as opposed to installations-are represented as massive mechanical beasts.
* MightyGlacier : The Installation-type bosses in general. They're vulnerable to armor-piercing and Type-3 shells and has little to almost no evasion stat, but due to their high armor and invulnerability to torpedoes, as well as how the shell works[[labelnote:*]]The AP shells are only effective on them during the day battle, whereas Type-3 shells deals some but insignificant damage until nightfall, which is when the latter is instrumental in taking down the boss[[/labelnote]], they're fairly difficult to subdue. The fact that the installations are often escorted with a battleship doesn't help matters.
* PunnyName: The ''Demon'' and ''Princess'' characters in their names are all homophone ''ki'', so those who have both Demon and Princess forms have their names pronounced the same (Isolated Island = ''Ritousei-ki''. The ''Water'' suffixes on some of them are likely chosen because ''Sui'' (water) is close to ''Sei'' (purpose-built).
* RapunzelHair: Many of the Demons and Princesses have extremely long hair proportionate to their bodies, often times reaching their ankles. Though this has gotten less frequent with recently introduced bosses.
* TaintedVeins: It seems a mark of a boss unit entering TurnRed phase is their gaining glowing veins or cracks along their skin.
* WarriorPrincess: Princesses are usually stronger than Demons. These Princesses lead Abyssal Fleet and accordingly kick ass. Even Destroyer Princess can shrug off the shelling from battleships and give out even worse beatings in retaliation toward your shipgirls.

!!Armored Carrier Demon / Princess

[[caption-width-right:290:[[labelnote:Armored Carrier Princess]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/012_armored_carrier_princess_full.png]][[/labelnote]]


First appearing as the boss of Stage 4-4, and returning in maps 5-2 and 5-4, the Armored Carrier Princess is the only Princess that did not debut during a seasonal event.\\\

Given that 4-4 is a stand-in for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Madagascar the Battle of Madagascar]], she probably represents the British carriers ''Illustrious'' or ''Indomitable''. On the other hand, given that 5-2 represents the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Coral_Sea Battle of the Coral Sea]], she could also represent the American carrier ''Lexington''.
----

* FullFrontalAssault: She's wearing nothing but a very short sailor fuku top, and that gets ripped off entirely in her Princess form.
* SlasherSmile: Sports a particularly vicious smirk in her Demon form.
* TheBattlestar: Sports a 16-inch twin gun mount in addition to her aircraft. [[TheWikiRule The wiki]] even classifies her as an aviation battleship instead of a carrier.
%% * TomboyishPonytail
* TurnsRed: When reduced to 25% health she loses her SlasherSmile and changes from Armored Carrier Demon to Armored Carrier Princess.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In her Princess form, her Abyssal beast loses its arms and gets split in half, revealing more guns for the Princess to use.

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/IoriNomizu

The boss of May 2013 Event Maps 3 and 4. Initially appearing as a Demon, connected to a larger Abyssal Ship, she returns as the Anchorage Princess without it in the next map.\\\

Appears as the first major boss in the anime.
----

* BadassLongCoat: A black coat in her Demon form, it gets shredded when she turns into a Princess.
* HornedHumanoid: One of the first Abyssal Princess who bares this, which later become a common trend.
* MulticoloredHair: Her hair is predominantly white with black tips.
* StarterVillain: In the anime, she appears and is destroyed in the first episode.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: In her Princess form, because her armor and clothes get torn up.
* TurnsRed: Starts the battle as Demon, attached to a hulking Abyssal ship with massive arms. After taking enough damage, she dumps it, becomes a Princess and attacks you herself.

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/AyanaTaketatsu


The boss of August 2013 Event Maps 2, 3 and 4. First appearing as the Southern Demon at the end of Map 2, each progressive defeat sees her [[VillainousBreakdown becoming more crazed and dangerous]]. [[spoiler:Implied to be Yamato's Abyssal counterpart.]]
----

%% * ArmCannon
* TheBerserker: As seen from how many times she's fought, it makes an impression that she doggedly chasing after the shipgirls with reckless abandon much to her detriment. In the arcade game, her idle animation is roaring to the sky while her shelling animation has her swinging her arms wildly with each shot.
* EvilCounterpart: Her overall appearance as the Southern War Demon is nearly identical to the standard design of the shipgirls.
* {{Expy}}: While she may lack the glowing blue eye, she has Music/BlackRockShooter's outfit and hairstyle.
** Her Ocean Demon form has also been dubbed [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Abyssal Miku]].
* GlassCannon: Surprisingly has '''10''' armor in War Demon form. This means she can take damage with a very weak hit. [[EpilepticTrees Rumor has it]] that it was, in fact, a typo, supposed to be in the range of 100 (average boss armor is 100.).
* GodivaHair: In her final form. She'd be going FullFrontalAssault if not for some scraps of her metal thong and her hair.
%% * MegaTwintails
* PowerFist: She wears some wickedly sharp metal claws with guns built into them.
* RecurringBoss: She's second only to Battleship Symbiotic Princess in number of appearances, being fought three times in her debut event, showing up during the Fall 2013 event, and becoming a permanent addition as a boss for Maps 5-3 and 5-5.
%% * SlasherSmile
* VillainousBreakdown: When first encountered as the Southern Ocean Demon, she looks an evil knockoff of the shipgirls. In her second appearance, as the Southern War Demon, her SlasherSmile becomes more manic and she is attached to one of the larger Abyssal ships like the other Demons. By the time she shows up as the Southern War Princess, her smirk is completely gone and she's ditched the large Abyssal ship, but kept all of its guns.

!!!'''Voice:''' Misato (Fall 2013 event), Creator/ShizukaIshigami (Summer 2015 event)

The boss for the fourth map of the Fall 2013 event. Initially believed to represent [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honiara_International_Airport Henderson Field on Guadalcanal]], which was defended by the US Marines under General Alexander Vandegrift, her reappearance in other events as a representation of other Allies-used airfields has clouded the water somewhat.\\\

The event map itself replicates [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadalcanal_Campaign#Battleship_bombardment_of_Henderson_Field the historical bombardment of Henderson Field by battleships Kongou and Haruna]].

She returns as the boss of E-4 for the Summer 2015 event. And she's [[TurnsRed very, very angry]].
----

* CloudCuckoolander: Very often portayed as this, likely due to her [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent unusual health status names]] in her battle ("minor damage" becomes "confused" for her). Ranges from being TheDitz to [[AffablyEvil just completely weird]].
* ClothingDamage: Only on her Summer 2015 final form
* CombatTentacles: In the anime only, her runways are formed from wriggling threads growing from her back, which solidified into runways for her aircrafts.
* FillerVillain: Her role in Winter Event 2016 is to launch land-based aircraft for one phase and nothing else. This means her only contribution in the map is to take potshots at the shipgirls so they will be in a less optimal condition in the next patrol boat node. It will be a well and good strategy, except one shipgirl that guarantees branching to her node (Kasumi) has AA cut-in in her second remodel that will shoot down all of her planes. The shipgirls are even skipping shelling her node.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports a pair of short, round horns on the side of her head.
* LeotardOfPower: Frequently confused with a ThongOfShielding due being the same color as her skin. Her damaged model in Summer 2015 shows clearly that she is indeed wearing a leotard.
* LogicalWeakness: She takes increased damage from ships equipped with Type-3 anti-aircraft ammunition. While it seems strange at first, it's actually a reference to how [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Shiki_(anti-aircraft_shell) historical Type-3 rounds]] worked.[[labelnote:Explanation]] In essence, they were battleship-grade shotgun shells, scattering a cloud of hot shrapnel on detonation, with the aim of taking out enemy aircraft, except subsequent experience showed that they utterly failed in this role. However they proved ''excellent'' at destroying or damaging ground-based structures, and it was in this function that they were used at Guadalcanal.[[/labelnote]]

The final boss for the Fall 2013 event, where she is faced by the player's forces at Ironbottom Sound. She becomes a recurring enemy from that point on, appearing as an escort for the Isolated Island Demon during the Spring 2014 event, and ''two'' copies of her are part of the counterattack fleet during the Summer 2014 event[[labelnote:*]]Only if the player's HQ level is over 100. Lower level admirals just get one[[/labelnote]]. She shows up again as the boss of the Fall 2014 event's third map and has appeared in the Winter 2015 as the pre-boss for the third and fifth maps and the escort for Battleship Water Demon in the fifth map.\\\

She is (loosely) based from the ''Yamato''-class battleships, albeit with their gun caliber designated as 16-inches to to cover up her actual gun caliber[[labelnote:*]]which is actually 46cm[=/=]18.1 inches[[/labelnote]]. That being said, many people believe that she represents the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa-class_battleship Iowa]]''-class battleships, since the latter is the closest thing to Battleship Princess as far as [=USN=] stand-in goes.
----

* BadassArmfold: Does this in her Kai form.
* BadassCape: Gains a cape in Kai form.
* BigBad or TheDragon: Widely speculated as one or the other for the Abyssal Fleet since her debut, though it slowly wanes as subsequent event features [[PowerCreep even stronger bosses]].
* BoobsAndButtPose: Her Summer form.
* CombatStilettos: While not very clear in her standard form, she is wearing high heels in her Kai form.
* DegradedBoss: Subverted. Since her original appearance, she's appeared several times in regular nodes or as a sidekick to several bosses... but she remains just as dangerous and frustrating every time, if not ''more'' so, often preventing players' fleets from landing hits on the ''actual'' boss of the map.
* TheDreaded: Seeing her picture show up when landing on a new node is usually enough to elicit an OhCrap, even from experienced Admirals.
* HornedHumanoid: Has a pair of short, upward curving horns on her forehead.
%% * LittleBlackDress
* MesACrowd: Following her debut there have been multiple instances of multiple versions of her appearing in the same map, sometimes in a single encounter.

* RecurringBoss: She's been encountered no less than seven times, the most of any Abyssal boss.

The boss of the Spring 2014 event. She represents Port Darwin in Australia, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Darwin which was attacked by the IJN on February 1942]]. Considered the weakest of the island[=/=]installation-type bosses introduced in the game events. She made her return as a permanent boss in early summer 2015, where she is the final encounter of map 4-5.

* BoobsOfSteel: Has the second biggest bust of all the Demons and Princesses.
* CoolBigSis: Fanart likes to depict her as being motherly and affectionate to Northern Ocean Princess.
* FemmeFatalons: Her claws are positively ''massive'', although she doesn't use them to fight.
* GentleGiant: Her artworks with Northern Princess teases it, but her appearance in the arcade spells it out loud.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: She's called both "Seaport Princess" and "Harbour Princess" among English speaking fans, as both are technically correct translations of her Japanese name.
* StatuesqueStunner: Frequently portrayed as being very tall in fanart. Confirmed in the arcade 3D model. The Abyssal Princesses are larger than the shipgirls and Seaport Princess is about the same height, when ''kneeling''. Her actual height might even taller.
* TurnsRed: Does this is 4-5 when the boss health gauge is down to one segment. Besides getting ClothingDamage in her CG, she also trades her aircraft in for 15-inch guns.

She also appears at the pre-boss node of the Extra Operation, the counterattack on the fleet girl HQ. She shows up again in the Fall 2014, Winter 2015, Spring 2015 and Summer 2015 events. She later returns as an optional encounter in map 6-1.\\\

Both of her incarnations represent USS ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Yorktown_(CV-5) Yorktown]]''. [[spoiler:Her lines also hint that, much like with Akagi and Midway Hime, she's Kaga's Abyssal counterpart.]]
----

* BareYourMidriff: She wears a bikini in Summer 2017
* BeefGate: She has a history of appearing in the pre-boss node of event maps, where she'll cheerily send Admirals scrambling back home with a heavily damaged ship (or several).
** Thankfully this is no longer the case with the recent events, as she is completely absent from Fall 2015 Event. Though she is stationed at the Carrier Task Force branching route in the final map of Winter 2016 with several [[DemonicSpiders Wo-class flagships]] as a heavy deterrent against said branching route, her route can be skipped entirely by using Surface Task Force, where the Battleship Princess [[MortonsFork assumes this role instead]].
* CameBackStrong: After you defeat her in E-3 in her Demon form, she returns in E-5 as a Princess.

She makes a return as the guardian of the northern pre-boss node for World 3-5's Extra Operation.
----

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Commonly depicted as such in fanart.
* BadassAdorable: Due to her relative power in-game, and overall popularity.
* CatchPhrase
-->''Leave the Zero behind!''[[labelnote:*]]She's referring to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akutan_Zero Akutan Zero]], an [=A6M=] Zero that crash-landed in Alaska in July 1942 and was captured by the Americans[[/labelnote]]

* CreepyChild: Being an Abyssal is enough reason, but the way she shifts from monotone when attacked to screaming when attacking is borderline HellIsThatNoise.
* HappyHolidaysDress: As stated above, she's the only abyssal to have holiday CG, with her getting one on Christmas 2014 and Rainy season 2015. Subverted with Fall 2015 fishing event, however: she has CG update...except that said CG has her [[http://kure.kancollewiki.net/images/0/06/Northern_Princess_Saury_2015.png furiously waving her hand]], basically telling the players "I don't have any fish here!

[[spoiler:She's also hinted through her lines to be either the Abyssal counterpart of Akagi or at least her worst nightmare given physical form.]]
----

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her outfit is very conservative by Abyssal standards except for her rack spilling out.
* BoobsOfSteel: Sports a generously-sized rack, albeit not as large as Seaport Princess.
* ClimaxBoss: Of the [=AL/MI=] operation and thus, the first season of the anime. The entire operation, which introducing the shiplocking diversion system, is to take her down. Her defeat in the anime is heralded by copious amount of BigDamnHeroes, to reflect the amount of ship girls needed in the operation. In 4koma, the Admiral initially sends her a gift as a WorthyOpponent before Yamato corrects him, thinking that she's the Abyssal's BigBad because of this trope.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Sports 550 HP in her base form and 600 in her final, making her the most durable Abyssal in the game until the introduction of Central Princess.
* HighCollarOfDoom: One that appears to be made of ''teeth growing out of her neck.''

The final boss of the Winter 2015 and Spring 2015 events.

[[spoiler:Her lines hint that she's the Abyssal counterpart to Nagato, what with her reference to the atomic tests of Operation Crossroad.]]
----

* {{BFG}}: While it wasn't shown in her sprites or given an image on its own, she is equipped with two 20 inch twin cannons, which in metric units is roughly equivalent to 51cm cannons that were planned for the A-150 battleship. Since the largest naval guns to be historically deployed didn't go any further than Yamato's 46cm guns, how she acquired such an absolutely massive gun is anyone's guess...
* ChainedByFashion: She compliments her dress with spiky manacles on her wrists and ankles.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: While she herself isn't particularly small, she's completely dwarfed by her massive Abyssal beast, which resembles an eyeless two-headed gorilla.
%% * ElegantGothicLolita: Has elements of this in her design.
* FrillyUpgrade: Her dress gains some frills in her Kai, which also exposes her upper thigh.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports a single, upward curving black horn on the right side of her forehead.
%% * OperaGloves
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Like Aircraft Carrier Water Demon, she shares a name and appearance with another Abyssal, in this case Battleship Symbiotic Princess, but has enough unique traits to mark her as a separate being, rather than just being a new form of an existing ship.
%% * ProperTightsWithASkirt

* AchillesHeel : If you have a submarine in your fleet, she'll keep sending airstrikes against the submarine to little effect, preventing her from attacking any surface ships throughout the day shelling phase, allowing the rest of your fleet to take out her escorts and then blast her into oblivion with Type 3 shells.

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/AkariKitou

The final boss of Summer 2015. [[spoiler: She is unmistakably the Abyssal counterpart of Teruzuki.]] Historically, she has no obvious World War II parallel, not least because the operation her map is named after never actually happened in real life, but her ridiculous AntiAir stat has drawn comparisons to the late Cold War-era ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arleigh_Burke-class_destroyer Arleigh Burke]]''-class guided missile destroyers and their [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegis_Combat_System Aegis Combat Systems]].
----

* AchillesHeel: Her overwhelming defense is linked to the installations scattered throughout the map she is located - the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_FS Operation FS]]. Borderline a PuzzleBoss at best and SNKBoss at worst, the island installations throughout the map must be repeatedly attacked in order to gradually whittle down her defense and render her vulnerable, after which she must be subdued before the next daily reset, lest she regain her defense and the player has to stage further assaults to whittle down her defense again to defeat her.
* AntiAir: She has '''390''' in her anti-air stat, meaning any fleet she is in are pretty much impervious to initial airstrikes.
* BareYourMidriff: Which extends high enough to show underboob.
* DegradedBoss: Two years after her introduction, she made her return in Fall 2017 Event as the first boss at E-3, with her armor reduced to around 270s. She still retains her absurdly high AA, though.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: She is the first humanoid Abyssal to not be drawn by the Abyssals' usual artist. Instead, Yoshinori Shizuma handled the art for her. [[spoiler: In case you're wondering, he also does the art for the ''Akizuki''-class]].
* OddNameOut: The first Princess-tier Abyssal unit whose name isn't based on a ship class or type of installation.
* PuzzleBoss: She initially had very high armour in the event, but by taking out the right minibosses (in other nodes on the map) multiple times you could lower her armour down to manageable levels. One had to hurry, though, as this effect reset at midnight JST every day.
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: One of her turrets is aiming at you.

* SmugSmiler: Her default expression is a damnable smirk.

* CowardlyLion: Despite her intimidating opening line night battle prowess, her attack line has a notable shake in it. [[spoiler:It's Jintsuu's night battle line before her second remodel, when she's in her ShrinkingViolet phase.]]
* CoolMask: One that covers everything from the nose up, has a pair of hornlike protrusions, and makes her look like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rider]].
* TargetSpotter: The first abyssal to mount a searchlight.

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/SaoriHayami (original), Creator/MegumiToyoguchi (Kai)

A boss introduced in the Fall 2015 Event.
----

* AchillesHeel: Despite her rather intimidating appearance and menacing voice, she ''is'' still a submarine, and as such is just as vulnerable to ASW as any other submarine[[labelnote:*]]She is very resistant to damage in her final form at the highest difficulty, but several players had unknowingly defeated her after defeating the Anchorage Water Demon (which lowers her armor) or without, before her armor reduction mechanic was discovered[[/labelnote]]. Furthermore, she was first encountered in the Combined Fleet, which does not apply the scratch damage cap to ASW at night. Add in the fact that she does not have preemptive torpedo strikes like other submarines[[labelnote:*]]despite being equipped with the same midget submarine that gave the [[DemonicSpiders Battleship Re-class]] their fearsome pre-emptive torpedo strikes[[/labelnote]], and she is considered by many as an AnticlimaxBoss.
* BareYourMidriff: She shows up a in frilly white bikini in Summer 2016.
* BodyHorror: After her armor breaks, she panics and claims that "water is leaking inside". As she's a submarine, it makes sense when she sinks, water leak is even worse than other ships. But if we takes it with the context that attacking sub with depth charges is basically sending shock waves to rupture their armor, the Princess's distress is less the usual damaged lines and more like her ribs are crushed by water pressure.
* CompanionCube: Just like playable submarines, she babytalks her torpedoes. Seeing that those things might be partially sentient, she has more reason to baby her weapons.
* EvilLaugh: She does it in her intro, unless [[VillainousBreakdown you reduced her armor]].
* LargeHam: She is among the hammiest boss so far, especially when she is being attacked. Given her [[StoneWall very high armor]], you'll be hearing her writhing a lot.
* ParasolOfPrettiness: She gains a beach umbrella in Summer 2016.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair is very long, to say the least.
* VillainousBreakdown: After you reduce her armor, she sounds even more crazy.

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/SaoriHayami

The final boss of the Fall 2015 event. As that map is a thinly-veiled representation of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vella_Gulf the Battle of Vella Gulf]], she might represent one of the six American destroyers involved. Appearance-wise, she appears to be [[spoiler:the Abyssal counterpart of Hagikaze.]]
----
* AscendedMeme: Fanartists would often draw other Abyssals with their NiceHat detached, such as Wo-class. This Abyssal's art confirms they are detachable.
* EvilLaugh: When attacking.
* FingerGun: Her rigging's left hand is actually a torpedo launcher, with the fingers as the torpedo. This makes her as the Abyssal with the closest rigging equivalent for the shipgirls.
* MultiarmedAndDangerous: She has a pair of large muscular arms protruding from her back.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She is one of the few humanoid Abyssals not drawn by their usual artist. [[spoiler:She's drawn by the same person who also draws Hagikaze, who is obtained after defeating her.]]
* PuzzleBoss: As with Air Defense Princess, she had an armor-reduction mechanic, which is triggered by sending enough PT Imp Packs to Davey Jones' locker. The indication that she has had her armor reduced is when she appears without her helmet.
* TragicKeepsake: The blue ribbon she holds. [[spoiler: It's the same ribbon that secures Kaga's muneate, as Hagikaze was Kaga's escort at the battle of Midway and the ship that scuttled her.]]

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/MegumiNakajima

A boss introduced in the Winter 2016 Event. Based on Mindoro Island, she's the main target of the overall event.
----
* AlternateCharacterReading: Does her name means supply depot or chaining islands (archipelago)? As Mindoro Island was both in Operation Rei-Go, this might be intentional.
* BareYourMidriff: Like many who get summer form, she wears a bikini top with shorts in Summer 2017.
* BraidsOfAction: Very long ones, as she circles it around her neck like a scarf. Might be PrehensileHair too, as she has rigging attached to its end.
* ButtMonkey: As her map and her fight aren't really difficult and Okinami is a drop in her node in Winter 2016, many Admirals set their eyes on her as "bullying" target. She even exasperatedly shouted the attacking shipgirls to just go away already now that her stockpiles are burning.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: She can launch closing torpedoes. Being an installation means that your girls cannot return the favour.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Her base form has '''600''' health, equivalent to Midway Princess in her final form.
** The [[DamageSpongeBoss damage sponge]] is emphasized as her large HP pull means she takes a significant amount of ScratchDamage from destroyers.
** Taken to ridiculous extremes in the Summer 2020 event; she's the first character to break 4 digits HP (maxing out at 2400 HP)
* EvilCounterpart: As a bespectacled logistics manager with subpar combat capabilities, she's essentially the Abyssals' version of Ooyodo.
* LogicalWeakness: In addition to the standard installation-type weakness to Type 3 shells, she also takes greatly increased damage from the [[LethalJokeItem Wurfgerät 42 mortar launcher]] (on top of [=WG42=]'s usual bonus against installation), most likely because she's sitting on a massive pile of fuel and ammunition.
* {{Meganekko}}: The first Abyssal to wear glasses, and of course, they're ScaryShinyGlasses.
* PowerFist: Her hands are covered in gauntlets about as thick as her torso, which main purpose seems to be for an easier transport of her drums. As other official artworks shows, she has regular looking and somewhat dainty hands
* TurnsRed: When her boss gauge is depleted, she gains new artwork and increased stats like other major bosses, but she also loses a massive amount of health, which is the first for boss unit, with more bosses (like Central Princess) getting the same treatment after Supply Depot Hime's introduction.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: She wears shorts in her summer form.

!!Heavy Cruiser Princess

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/ChinatsuAkasaki

The final boss of the Winter 2016 Event. [[spoiler: Possibly an Abyssal counterpart to Zara, who is the reward for clearing the event, which would make her the first Abyssal to be the counterpart of a non-Japanese shipgirl.]]
----
* [[AbsoluteCleavage Absolute]] [[CleavageWindow Cleavage Window]]: Her hoodie-dress unzips in the front to show off her breasts and midriff, though its mostly obscured by one of her tentacles.
* BodyHorror: Much like Ne-class, her guns are mounted on two tentacles jutting out of her torso.
* ComicallySerious: Other than her damaged art, her expression never really strays from a uninterested flat gaze, even when doing something silly like playing horsies with her own stomach tentacles.
--> ''Rodeo...''
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Despite being a heavy cruiser, she has opening torpedoes, something no player-controlled heavy cruiser has.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her left stocking is grey and white striped, while her right is just solid white.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports a long black horn on the left side of her forehead and a smaller horn on the right.
* LargeHam: Once she suffers a VillainousBreakdown, she rivals even the Submarine Princess.
* VillainousBreakdown: She sounds very desperate in her final form, losing her smugness and begins to [[LargeHam chew the scenery]].
* ShesGotLegs: Her summer artwork clearly focuses on her legs.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: In her summer form.

A boss introduced in the Spring 2016 Event. [[spoiler:Appears to be the Abyssal counterpart to the ''Kamikaze''-class, though she doesn't represent a particular ship.]]
----
* ArmCannon: Much like Light Cruiser Princess, she has a massive Abyssal creature with guns and torpedoes grafted onto her left arm.
* ClothingDamage: In Princess form, in addition her hair bun gets undone.
* CombatStilettos: She wears high heels.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Despite being a destroyer, she has opening torpedoes, something no player-controlled destroyer has.
* LargeHam: Double points for her high pitched voice.
* PrincessCurls: Sports a single curl on the right side of her head.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Though a little hard to notice with her thigh-high boots.
* SlipknotPonytail: Though it's not visible to the viewer, she seems to have a hair bun on the back of her head that gets undone in her Princess form.

!!!'''Voice:''' Creator/MamikoNoto

A boss introduced in the Spring 2016 Event. [[spoiler: She is a reborn version of Airfield Princess. As her flight deck clearly shows, she is based on Henderson Field after its rebuilding by the Allies in 1943 following the Battle of Guadalcanal.]]
----
* ElegantGothicLolita: Much like Isolated Island Demon, though her dress is white with black trim.
* FlowerMotifs: The ''lycoris radiata'', also known as the red spider lily. As can be seen from their boss gauge, the red spider lily is the "national" flower of the Abyssal Fleet.
* HornedHumanoid: Sports two long horns growing from the side of her head.
* OddNameOut: The only Abyssal to have her name written in katakana.

!!Central Princess

!!!'''Voice:''' Chinami Hashimoto

A boss introduced in ''[=KanColle=] Kai'', representing Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. [[spoiler:She is the Abyssal counterpart to USS ''Arizona'', armed with the same 16-inch [=Mk7=] guns as the USS ''Missouri'', which currently overlooks the Arizona Memorial.]] Like Iowa, she makes her browser game debut in the Spring 2016 Event.
----
* AchillesHeel: Unlike most other installations, she takes a '''massive''' amount of damage from airstrikes, specifically dive bombers. [[spoiler:This is a slight reference to how USS ''Arizona'' was historically sank during the Attack of Pearl Harbor. It wasn't dive bombers that did her in though. She was sunk by torpedo bombers flying at high altitude dropping what were essentially the ''Nagato''-class' 410mm [=AP=] shells from above right onto her deck.]]
* BodyHorror: Her damaged CG depicts her with large sections of her skin missing, exposing her nightmare-ish internals. Even her regular form doesn't really help; she doesn't seem to have a stomach wall, and instead her intestines are spilling out of her belly and connected to her riggings like placental tubes.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Has a whopping 800 HP in ''Kancolle Kai'' on the highest difficulties.
** Her final form in the browser game is even worse, going all the way to 900 HP in E-6 and sporting incredible amounts of armor, the highest of any Abyssal. Unless the player scores a CriticalHit [[LuckBasedMission with initial airstrikes]], sinking her is practically impossible. Things get slightly easier in E-7, where her HP is slightly lower (850 HP in final form) and the player has access to land-based air support, and she gained vulnerability to land tanks.
* FinalBoss: Of ''[=KanColle=] Kai''.
* FullFrontalAssault: She appears to be completely naked.

----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her revealing clothing and her pose gives a good view of her cleavage.
* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler:She takes massive damage from participants of Operation Crossroad (Nagato, Sakawa, Prinz Eugen, and Saratoga). Lampshaded in the 4koma featuring the Fall 2016 event.]]
* AnimalMotif: Jellyfish, with her dress resembling the bell and her hair resembling the arms.
* BoobsOfSteel: She is not lacking in bust.
* FacialHorror: She appears to have metal melted over half her face.
* HumanoidAbomination: Even more so than other Abyssal bosses.
* SkunkStripe: Inverted-She has a single stripe of black hair while the rest is white.

The final boss(es) of the Winter 2017 event. [[spoiler:They're the Abyssal counterparts of I-13 and I-14.]]
----
* AngstySurvivingTwin: The damaged portrait for them shows the black one seemingly crying over the death of the white one.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Their damaged portrait shows the black twin cradling the white twin in her arms and crying in anger over it.
* MilitaryMashupMachine: While they are classified as being aviation battleship, there is implication that they are meant to be a ''submersible'' aviation battleship. [[spoiler:Considering that I-13 and I-14 were designed to be submersible carriers, it is basically adding a third type of ship into the mix.]]
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Both of them wear a SailorFuku-like outfit with no backside.
* UselessUsefulSpell: They have a very high Torpedo stat and are equipped with a High-Speed Abyssal Torpedo (mod.2), which ''should'' let them launch opening torpedoes. Both of these are wasted because they're encountered in the main fleet of an Abyssal Combined Fleet, which doesn't participate in any torpedo phases. Subverted in night battles as the torpedo stat is added to her firepower to allow her to deal high damage.

----
* ArtificialLimbs: Her forearms and elbows are replaced by mechanical counterparts, completed with long spikes at the wrist and [[WolverineClaws razor-sharp blades at the end of the fingertips]].
* BadassCape: A big white fur cape partially covering her arms and rigging.
* BloodKnight: Unlike many other Demons and Princesses who wish for nothing but the sinking of player's ship girls, she is more excited about the fight itself. When she is under attack, instead of screaming in pain or begging player's ship girls to stop, she proudly declares that she will never retreat.
* BoisterousBruiser: She always taunts the player ships, even after she gets a VillainousBreakdown.
* FullFrontalAssault: Only slightly better than the Central Princess, she wears nothing from the thigh up save for the cover for her 'sensitive parts'.
* GiantHandsOfDoom: Her main weapon consists of six 12 inch guns in two triple turrets mounted on a pair of gigantic three-clawed robotic arms.
* GodivaHair: The only thing covering her breasts.
* LargeHam: She is very loud, even more so than anything so far.
* NiceHat: In her normal form, she wears a very tall hat resembling a [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyar_hat gorlatnaya hat (a.k.a. boyar hat)]].
** CoolCrown: her final form reveals that she is wearing a black thorn-like tiara underneath the hat.
* ThongOfShielding: Wears a black C-string thong smaller than the one worn by Southern War Princess.
* VillainousBreakdown: Once her armor is broken, of course she will [[LargeHam only get louder]]. Even more so when she is in final from.

* BadassAdorable: Like the Northern Princess, she appears to be a young girl.
* BeefGate : She is this in the final map of Summer 2017, and '''how'''. The boss at that map was guarded by no less than '''four''' Princess-tier Abyssal flagships, and she is the one that is most likely to send your fleet running back.
* DegradedBoss : She is the first boss of the event. Come E7, there are no less than ''three'' of them throughout the map, and you must go through one of her nodes, either to defeat the boss or attacking the enemy supply fleet or base.

----
* BloodFromTheMouth: In her damaged form.
* BoobsOfSteel: One of the first things players will notice about her is her very large breasts.
* DamageSpongeBoss: She has 730 HP and even her weakest form has 196 armour, above daytime damage cap, while her toughest has 270, quite close to the night battle damage cap. This means that not much can deal good damage to her.
* HornedHairdo: The upper part of her hair is shaped like bull horns.
* PeekABangs: Her right eye is hidden behind her hair.
* RapunzelHair: In addition of being very long, her hair is also very thick.

----
* BadassCape: A plain white cape with elbow length veil underneath.
* BattleBallgown: She wears an armored dress ''[[UpToEleven with naval guns mounted on it]]''.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: She is holding a black sword loaded into an arbalest which doubles as flight deck.
* CompositeCharacter: Her status as an aviation battleship with 15-inch [[labelnote:note]]converted to cm, it is roughly equivalent to Warspite and Littorio-class's gun caliber, while being only slightly larger than Bismarck and Richelieu's.[[/labelnote]] dual purpose main guns and sonar implies that she is [[spoiler: a composite of the three ships which the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsinkable_Sam Unsinkable Sam]] was abroad (Bismarck, HMS Cossack and Ark Royal)]].
** Given that her main guns are named "Abyssal 15-inch Late Model Twin Gun Mount" [[labelnote:note]]which looks like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL_15-inch_Mk_I_naval_gun BL 15-inch Mk I naval gun in Mk I turret]][[/labelnote]] and she traded her sonar for torpedoes in her final form, it is also possible that she is [[spoiler: a composite of Ark Royal and a British battlecruiser or battleship mounting such guns]].
* CoolCrown: Wearing a crown ''[[NightmareFuel made of teeth]]'', cementing her LadyOfWar appearance.
* DamageSpongeBoss: Has a whopping 880 HP in her final form, with an armor that is well above 200. Thankfully, after doing a debuff your fleet will engage her with 1.3x damage modifier as long as your fleet secures Air Superiority over her fleet.
* HighClassGloves: A pair of partially torn black [[FingerlessGloves fingerless elbow glove]] with armor plates on left forearm.
* LadyOfWar: Unlike previous bosses, she has this appearance. It helps that she has a dolphin-like mechanical beast as her mount.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She appears out of place compared to the other Abyssal bosses, looking like both [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Saber Lily]] and something straight out of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' at the same time.

----
* ActionDressRip: Just enough to show her left thigh.
* ChainedByFashion: Her arms are chained together.
* DragonAscendant: She made her first appearance as the last flunky of the escort fleet for Night Straits Princesses, making the latter even more difficult to defeat in Normal and Hard Mode. After Night Straits Princesses is defeated, she becomes the second boss.
* InTheHood: She wears a white hood.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She is by far the most colorful Abyssal, and looks more like she just got straight out of Gundam or Final Fantasy. She's also not designed by the usual Abyssal artist (Akira), but the same artist who made Air Defense Princess.
* PeekABangs: Her right eye is covered by her hair and hood.
* PunnyName: A part of her name is a pun on "lost child". [[spoiler: This is in reference of Suzutsuki being was presumably lost in action after Operation Ten-go, as well as her loss of gyrocompass and navigational charts from aerial torpedo from said operation.]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: Her turrets have horn-shaped spikes on them.

!!Canal Princess

!!Floating Fortress and Escort Fortress

These two are assistant ships that appear alongside the bosses. They aren't human-like, but they are a common sight when fighting against installation bosses and in the official art. They are depicted as a floating mouth with horns.
----
* AttackDrone: The arcade portrays them as this.
* FakeUltimateMook: While they are unique enemies that often accompany bosses, they are no tougher than a Ri-class flagship - a heavy cruiser. Other than their ability to launch planes.
* OddNameOut: The only boss units that are not a Demon or Princess, and are not even remotely humanoid.
* TakingTheBullet: In the Arcade, they will block projectiles and torpedoes that are fired from your ships to defend their boss. Generally, you can't attack the boss directly because of this, but if you're lucky, sometimes your attacks may [[OneHitPolykill pierce through them and hit the boss anyway]].

!!Event-exclusive ships
!!The Fleet of Fog
During the Fall 2013 Anime season, the anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel aired, coinciding with much of Kantai Collection's rapid rise in popularity and recognition. Naturally, a collaboration between the two franchises was inevitable. It started with a few endcards in the anime with some Arpeggio ships paired with their [=KanColle=] counterparts, and culminated in a crossover event in the [=KanColle=] game running from 24 December 2013 to 8 January 2014. During this time, certain ships from the Fleet of Fog were usable as temporary allied units and certain others acted as enemy, which both types were removed when the event ended.\\\

All ships of the enemy!Fleet of Fog retained their anime voices, had hourly lines The ship library did not include them either. They also retained their personalities, and a number of their lines were references to the anime (although there was no mention of Gunzou).\\\

For the tropes depicting the Fleet of Fog in the Arpeggio anime, please see [[Characters/ArpeggioOfBlueSteel here]]. For the tropes depicting the allied Fleet of Fog, please see [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/KantaiCollectionFive here]].
