west virginia (azur lane)
The personification of the Colorado-class battleship USS West Virginia (BB-48) in Azur Lane.
Appearance
Her original design by Rail (Silverbow) (post #2975385) portrays her with short blonde hair and orange eyes. Her outfit consists of a peaked cap, eyeglasses, black gloves, a white top, black dress, miniskirt, and garter strap thighhighs.
Her rig consists of two sides, each with two 406 mm twin mounts and a funnel.
Her revised design by Chuzenji (post #3297426) radically changes her form, now sporting pale skin, long black hair, and red eyes.
Her outfit was changed to a black jacket strapped around a black dress and a secondary white outer dress, while her black gloves remain intact from the original. She also wears black rudder footwear.
Her rig was also changed to better reflect the real-life namesake, with two 406 mm twin mounts per side and her cage mast and CXAM radar holding the two sides together.
History
In real life, West Virginia was among the battleships sunk in Pearl Harbor, moored outboard of Tennessee and thus took the brunt of the damage. Refloated in May 1942, she was modernized in the West Coast in a style similar to the Tennessee-class: turning their superstructures into a compact form reminiscent of South Dakota. Unlike the two Tennessee-class ships, the scale of her damage and modernization meant she only reentered active service in mid-1944, in time for the battle of Leyte Gulf. Here, she led the battle line that engaged Nishimura's fleet in the last battleship-to-battleship engagement in history, firing the opening shots against Yamashiro from 20.8 km out.
Later seeing service in Iwo Jima and Okinawa, she was decommissioned in 1947 and scrapped 12 years later.

她的装备由两侧组成，每侧都有两个 406 毫米双支架和一个漏斗。

她的装备也进行了更改，以更好地反映现实生活中的同名装备，每侧有两个 406 毫米双支架，笼式桅杆和 CXAM 雷达将两侧固定在一起。
在现实生活中，西弗吉尼亚号是珍珠港沉没的战列舰之一，停泊在田纳西州的舷外，因此首当其冲地受到损害。 1942 年 5 月重新浮出水面，她在西海岸以类似于田纳西级的风格进行了现代化改造：将上层建筑变成紧凑的形式，让人想起南达科他州。与两艘田纳西级舰艇不同，她的损坏规模和现代化改造意味着她直到 1944 年中期才重新投入现役，及时参加了莱特湾海战。在这里，她率领战列线与西村舰队进行了历史上最后一次战列舰对战列舰的交战，并在 20.8 公里外向山城开火。
后来在硫磺岛和冲绳岛服役，于 1947 年退役，12 年后报废。
