Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


A list of American aircraft carriers appearing in ''Pacific''. Unlike their Japanese counterparts, who are mostly themed as [[ArcherArchetype samurai archers]] (and [[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} onmyoji]]), the American carriers use a wider array of ranged weaponry, such as firearms in addition to bows and crossbows. In addition, some of them (Enterprise in particular) are capable of operating at night.

* ArcherArchetype: The ''Yorktown'' class, so far, are the only American carriers categorized as this. Compare Hornet's crossbow and Enterprise's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_bow compound bow]] to most of the Japanese carriers' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yumi yumi]]. Averted with Yorktown herself, who used musket.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: So far, the only ship girl other than [[RoseHairedSweetie Mahan]] to exhibit this. No historical reason behind this, just an artistic decision.
