History Characters / PacificHeavyCruisersAndBattleships

* CoolGuns: Has a Thompson sub-machine gun as her weapon of choice.

* CoolGuns: A pair of Single Action Army Revolvers. She could arguably challenge [[VideoGame/MetalGear Ocelot]] to a duel given her similar ImprobableAimingSkills.

* BoobsOfSteel: A lot of them are well-endowed, to say the least.

* BoobsOfSteel: Being a battleship, this is already a given. What makes hers special is that [[spoiler: her cup size is labelled as "classified", hinting that there's more than what's being shown to us.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: Has some of the largest ones among the American battleships.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a halberd.

* BareYourMidriff: The first of the Northamptons to have this.

* BareYourMidriff: The second of the ''Northamptons'' to have this in their costumes, after Chicago.

%%* BareYourMidriff

** A straighter example would be her dedication and loyalty underneath her childish exterior.

* [[PurelyAestheticGlasses Purely Aesthetic Eyepatch]]

* TheChewToy:
** In-universe and between the authors, no less, mostly with regards to her name.
** Even more so in the [[http://i.imgur.com/z99VLIf.jpg accompanying 4-komas.]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* GeniusBruiser:

* GunsAkimbo

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
* IdiotHair

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* GeniusBruiser

* {{Jerkass}}: ''Very.''

* BornUnlucky: Her entire career was full of brushes of almost getting scrapped. Then [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Pearl Harbor]] happened, where she was blown in half from an AP bomb, and has rested there since (she was too heavily damaged to return to service). And finally, despite being a battleship, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking her cup size isn't all too special.]]

* BareYourMidriff
* BuxomIsBetter
* CoolShades

* InnocentBlueEyes

** Also to Fusou. Both are depicted as RavenHairIvorySkin classical beauties of their respective nations, but Fusou is the unlucky grand old lady from World War I, whereas Iowa is the lucky newcomer commissioned DuringTheWar. In their art, both of them even stand in the same crossed legs stance and do the same outstretched hand with fingers pointing down thing, [[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/File:BB_Fusou_026_Full.png albeit on opposite arms.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: Gets a tomahawk as one of her weapons.

* JoustingLance: Her WeaponOfChoice. Jousting is, in fact, the state sport of Maryland.

* ShesGotLegs: New Jersey and Wisconsin have slits that go real high. Iowa and Missouri don't have slits but the hemlines on their dresses aren't exactly low.

* BornLucky: All of them. Every single ''Iowa''-class battleship survived the war and were reactivated to serve in other conflicts before being decommissioned for the seemingly final time. All four of them are museum ships today. [[note]]There had been [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_battleship_retirement_debate much debate]] about the US Navy retiring the ''Iowa''s, given that aircraft carriers have a longer range and newer technology such as guided missiles on the current day destroyers. However, in 2006 Congress passed the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act National Defense Authorization Act]] for the [[https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/house-bill/5122 fiscal year of 2007]] on [[https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/109th-congress/house-report/452/ requesting]] that at least ''Iowa'' and ''Wisconsin'' be kept as well maintained in a state of readiness if need be to return to active duty.[[/note]]

* WhoWearsShortShorts: She does.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark Green hair, in her case.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: She wears an entirely different, Texas-themed cowgirl costume, as shown by the leaked concept art.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: While battleships normally have BoobsOfSteel, she... lacks this trait.

* PantyShot: Not helped by her DangerouslyShortSkirt and {{stripperific}} attire.

* BeautyMark: Under her left eye.

* BreakingTheBonds: She does this in front of UsefulNotes/HarryTruman, no less.

* LightningBruiser: They're based on the fastest battleships ever put to sea. Yes, faster than even the [[VideoGame/KantaiCollection Kongou sisters]].

* ProperLady: She certainly has the looks and grace of one. It could even be argued that she's everything [[Videogame/KantaiCollection Akatsuki]] aspires to be, but falls incredibly short of.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Type A with black knee socks ''and'' stockings.
