* BadDreams: The story begins with Yvonne reliving the Abyssal attack on Pearl in her nightmares.
* CommandingCoolness: Yvonne Swanson, though it's also deconstructed: Yvonne doesn't feel any special; she was a junior officer who was bumped up to Commander because people senior to her got killed.
* CoolShip: The ''Mirai'', first of the new ''Mirai''-class Aegis destroyers, which serves as a mobile command post and flagship for Yokosuka's admiral. The [[InsistentTerminology helicopter destroyer]]''Izumo'' also fits.
** Mention is also made of the US Navy's ''Zumwalt''-class destroyers being this (until they were all sunk).
* InsistentTerminology: In a meta example, Japanese characters use the term "kanmusu", while English-speaker characters use the term ship girls.
** Regardless of your actual rank, if you have kanmusu serving under you, they'll refer to you as Admiral. Lieutenant Matsuda lampshades this to Yvonne after she meets his command, the Akatsuki sisters of Destroyer Division Six. [[spoiler: It is with some difficulty that Yvonne manages to persuade Yamato to address her as 'Commander' instead of 'Admiral.']]
** Also, JMSDF officers refer to their service as the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force. The kanmusu refer to themselves as belonging to the ''Japanese Navy''.
* KaijuDefenseForce: The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force is leading the way against the Abyssals, since Japan was the first nation where shipgirls were summoned. The JMSDF itself has essentially taken over most of Yokosuka Naval Base, which the US Navy has more or less ceded to them.
** KatanasOfTheRisingSun: All shipgirls are, obviously, reincarnations of the wartime Imperial Japanese Navy's ships, and still retain some memory of the war (though the exact nature and strength of the memory varies).
* OverrankedSoldier: Yamato, pride of the Japanese Navy and symbol of her nation, is ridiculously overqualified and much too prestigious to be serving as an aide (however temporary) to a visiting military officer. This causes Yvonne to wonder if Yamato's screwed up badly enough to be shitcanned...
* ShoutOut: ''Mirai'' is one to Manga/Zipang.
* YanksWithTanks: The US Navy took a massive beating in the early days of the war, with both Pearl Harbor and Norfolk attacked by Abyssals, and the loss of nearly the entire fleet [[note]]Nine out of eleven carriers, 70 surface warships, and almost the entire submarine fleet. http://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/kantai-collection-the-greatest-generation.17091/page-3#post-3303253Analysis here]].[[/note]] That said, the US is still contributing to the war effort with the US Air Force, who've taken up the antishipping mission formerly held by the US Navy.
->In the Pacific, the young women of the former Imperial Japanese Navy fight valiantly to rid East Asia of this menace. The Royal Navy, Marine Nationale and the Deutsche Marine work as one in an unrelenting war to keep the English Channel and the Atlantic convoys safe from the Abyssal raids. The Regia Marina, now flying the standard of the Marina Militare, have swept the Mediterranean clean of Abyssal presence and now turn to aid others. In the northern seas, the Red Fleet braves the harsh artic cold in a deadly game of cat and mouse against their quarry.
->Around the world, warships from every nation have returned from the grave in a time of direst need to serve their countries once more….
->Warships from every nation… save, it seems, those of the United States Navy.
