Class: Well, I did say I was under the assumption that whoever's in this is either a Shipgirl or Ship enthusiast, so... well... you know how this goes. If you don't, ask with your SENCO's name.

Hello, Commander! I'm Yamato-class Aircraft Carrier, Shinano! I... I... I can't do anything right...

Name:
IJN Shinano

Class:
Yamato

Type:
Aircraft Carrier

Equipment:

A6M Zero Fighter
Magnificent dogfighters that could fell any opponent, until their opponents evolved, of course. Signatures of the Imperial Japanese Navy.


Ki67 Hiryu Bomber
An Army Type 4 Heavy Bomber. Each unleashes a torpedo upon opponents.


Yamato-class Warbow
An aircraft deployer that boosts the speed of aircraft shot through it.


Bamboo Leaf Harmonica
A single leaf improvised as a harmonica. If you have the talent to play this, you're probably better at a regular harmonica. Aircraft Carrier SENCO use the tunes of their harmonicas to command and control the aircraft they unleash.

Appearance:
Even though she was reputed as the largest ever ship to be sunk by a submarine, Shinano has been reborn as a petite girl of a mere 140 centimetres tall. She doesn't have much of a figure and wears wavy pigtails. Her primary outfit consists of a short, red skirt that she claims is the uniform of the Yamato class. However, this skirt seems to be partially torn on the left, with the torn area possessing some sort of skeleton, like a blueprint or a crinoline, representing her incomplete nature. Whatever was left of a white top seems to be in tatters with patches of nothing over and has the same visible 'skeleton' as her skirt, but thankfully, she wears an apron over herself that resembles the roads of an aircraft carrier to cover her front. Her pigtail ribbons resemble crane arms facing backwards, and at the collar area of her top is an anchor-shaped piece. Her shoes resemble the frontal lower area of a Yamato-class battleship, down to the colour scheme of red below and whitish-grey on top.

Personality:
Shinano is docile and quite a crybaby due to her lack of confidence, often seeing herself as a failure due to her lack of victory and her sole failure that cost her life. She often feels that everyone is looking down on her, even her sisters Yamato and Musashi wherever they might be, and that they either mock or judge her for being incompetent. As such, she prefers to spend time alone, talking to her aircraft to pass her freetime, and isn't very fond of socialising with other SENCO. She sees herself as a lesser SENCO and she often questions if she is even related to the Yamato & Musashi.

History:
The IJN Shinano's tale is a tragic tale. Originally built as the third of the Yamato-class Battleships, the IJN's most powerful at that era, she was forcefully and quickly repurposed into an Aircraft Carrier due to their dwindling numbers. When she was sent out and deployed however, she was shortly sunk by the USS Archerfish causing a leak before she could even begin to fight. Shinano had many flaws in her short time in service, such as not carrying a single aircraft, as well as the standard flaws of a Yamato-class battleship. Either way, the start of her service and the end of it was close together.

Other Information:
The third of the Yamato-class and what would've been the third Battleship.

"My big sisters Yamato & Musashi... they find me an embarassment to their name, don't they?"

The Z4 Richard Beitzen

“HERR KOMMANDA- what do you mean “Commander”, that does not sound cool. I am used to cool to cold you see!
Name: KMS Richard Beitzen
Class: (Type 1934 Destroyer) aka Z1 Class
Type: Destroyer

Equipment:
37 MM AA Gun
20 MM AA Gun
Torpedo Mount

Appearance: The Z4 Richard Beitzen is a fairly endowed model standing at 168 centimeters, typically dressing with a white sweater (to account for those frigid waters oft traveled by her) black stockings and red boots. She has notable junk in the truck so to say, both on its own and with detachable/reattach-able tubes sticking out of her backside which like other Destroyers of her class were untested. And notably she has quite a bit of wear and tear on her body, in particular where one of her eyes should be from the many repairs and damage she had taken over the years.

Personality: Richard Beitzen is a rather tenacious firecracker who seeks acknowledgment, due in part to being mistaken fired upon by her own allies. She is fairly clumsy, which is a fact that she loathes. She is quite protective of others in her care and is an intense bureaucrat, taking great care in inspections and 'dotting those i's and crossing those t's.'. Richard is also fiestly assertive regarding matters such as 'is Richard a girl's name', 'are you sure your parts are as intended' and other such issues that call her self-esteem and identity into question.

History: The Z4 Richard Beitzen was built alongside other Type 1934 Destroyers for the German Navy, and upon her completion she was relegated to training. However the Richard Beitzen's time to shine came when she was sent to blockade the Polish Coast, only to be switched to inspect neutral cargo. Richard Beitzen was responsible for setting up many naval mines off the English Coast and attacking British Shipment. Truly coming into its own the Richard Beitzen was tasked with escorting many ships to and from Norway, wherein the most devastating of its groundings occurred. As the Allies were divvying up the spoils, the Z4 Richard Beitzen was given to Britain who decided they had no use for this ship and then scrapped it in 1949.

Other Information: British suck. How can someone forget a face like this? Despite having many accidents, Richard Beitzen had far less mishaps than her older sisters and was the only one to survive to post war!
