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.

* LogicalWeakness: She's vulnerable to Type-3 anti-aircraft ammunition, and indeed is the first boss to be given this particular vulnerability. While it doesn't quite make sense at first (why would an ''airfield'' be vulnerable to anti-aircraft rounds?), if one goes to how [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Shiki_(anti-aircraft_shell) historical Type-3 rounds]] worked. 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.

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 counterattacking fleet during the Summer 2014 event.

While she supposedly doesn't stand-in for a specific US Navy battleship, many people believe that she represents [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Iowa_(BB-61) the Iowa-class of fast battleships]].

* DegradedBoss: Averted! She's just as dangerous in her subsequent appearances, often causing ''more'' frustration to players, as she's often turned into a target of priority by their fleets more than the ''actual'' boss of the map.

Suffice to say, it didn't work.

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

!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]]. Players familiar with the Persona franchise, particularly with VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'s Shadows, found grim humor at this implication.

On the meta level with each in-game event it's become '''painfully''' clear that the Abyssals are all stand-ins for the World War 2 Allied fleet, particularly the that of the US Navy.
----


* BigBad: The game is mostly silent on the origins of the Abyss Fleet, but there's obviously ''someone'' commanding them. The previous candidates were the various Princess-class bosses (the most common and widely agreed being Battleship Princess), but with each new boss (and indeed ''ship class'', in the case of the [[LightningBruiser Re-class Aviation Battleship]][[note]]Which has been described as something akin to the enemy getting a post-1980s refit Iowa-class battleship, complete with cruise missiles, or more specifically, still-born plans to turn USS New Jersey into a battleship/carrier hybrid.[[/note]]), this has been cast into doubt.
** With the start of the Summer Event's Operation AL-MI, some people are now seeing the head honcho of the Abyssal Fleet... As an evil version of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_W._Nimitz Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz]].
** [[TakeAThirdOption In contrast to the above points]], other speculation instead points to the Abyssals being just [[LivingShip weapons only]] [[MechanicalLifeForm acting on instinct]].
* ChainedByFashion: [[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Transport_Ship_Wa-Class At least one (Wa-class)]] has been depicted as having been braced to the actual ship it was on.
* CreepyChild: Northern Ocean Princess.
* 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.
* [[spoiler: DyingAsYourself: 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.]]
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The dark-haired Abyssals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're definitely alien, particularly the starter opponents.
** [[BishounenLine Bishoujo Line]]: However, all ''Demon'' and ''Princess'' ships are [[ItMakesSenseInContext girls with]] [[ABoyAndHisX massive abominations]]. In the original Iroha order, they even progressively take a more human appearance.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Isolated Island Demon.
* HornedHumanoid: Battleship Princess, Airfield Princess, and Northern Ocean Princess, who all have two horns, and Seaport Princess, who has one horn.
* 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.
** CyberneticsEatYourSoul: The above is taken UpToEleven when the most common interpretation of the enemy fleet is ''[[TomatoInTheMirror your own fleet]]'' being remade into the enemy's fleet with heavily modified, mechanical, and visceral weaponry in a style that is very similar to ''Franchise/DeadSpace'' as a whole.
* LittleBlackDress: Worn by Battleship Princess.
* MemeticHandGesture: Re. It looks like she is saluting, but [[OhCrap most people]] have interpreted it as a [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "This will not end well"]] or [[TitleDrop her own name]], usually both.
* MindScrew: For some unknown reason, the ones based on airfields (which are islands) have existent (albeit low) Evasion stats. How does an ''island'', a '''completely''' stationary object, evade gunfire?
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Most, if not all, of them incorporate a big pair of chompers in their designs (which usually are hiding more rows of teeth).
* NiceHat: [[MindScrew Or whatever that thing on top of their head is]]. The majority (especially Wo) are usually seen with what appears to be a grinning mouth above their head. Fandom has apparently taken VideoGame/{{Touhou}} [[EpilepticTrees logic]] and assumed it to be detachable as well.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Coincidentally, [[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Airfield_Princess the three]] [[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Harbour_Princess based on]] [[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Isolated_Island_Demon islands]] all have their illustrations sitting, the second especially so for having an [[SceneryPorn ornate one]] at that. Now remember that it is ''the player'' who is attacking ''them''.
** Subverted with Midway Princess and Northern Ocean Princess of the Summer 2014 events. Each has a seated illustration, but are fought again with higher stats and new, standing illustrations.
* PokemonSpeak: Often what Wo does in fanworks.
* SlasherSmile: Re-class sports one of these.
* 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 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.
* 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]]''
* TokenMiniMoe: Northern Ocean Princess. She's so cute, fanartists have played this up to AdorablyPrecociousChild levels. While many initially reacted to her character design with sadness at the idea of bullying a young child, it turns out [[BadassAdorable she's more likely to bully you]].
* 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.
* UndeathlyPallor: Absolute white skin, which goes along nicely with the GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath.
* 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.
* {{Youkai}}: Horned Abyssals tend to look like oni, Battleship Princess in particular.
