Now Viewing: aquila_(kantai_collection)Tag type: Character アクィラ Kantai_Collection character introduced in the Summer 2016 Event. Her name means "eagle" in both Italian and Latin. She is designed by Jiji and her voice actress is Akasaki_Chinatsu. She has long_hair, slightly wavy_hair orange_hair fashioned into a high_ponytail while her bangs are held to the side by hairclips. Her eyes are a dull yellow_eyes. She wears a red jacket with a white_shirt collared_shirt underneath which has a green_ribbon and a pair of wings ornament along with a black_skirt miniskirt. Both her jacket and shirt very noticeably have armpit_cutouts. Her legwear consists of black_legwear thighhighs held up by garter_straps. She wields a Roman composite bow. Her design appears to not have any reflection on her historical counterpart's non-completion. The historic Aquila's career was nonexistent. She was originally an ocean liner named Roma until she had her aircraft carrier conversion start in late 1941, therefore making her the first Italian produced aircraft carrier. She was renamed due to the fact that there was already a battleship with the same name (Roma_(Kantai_Collection)). The lack of an aircraft carrier was seen as the reason for the loss of three Italian heavy cruisers (Zara_(Kantai_Collection), Fiume and Pola_(Kantai_Collection)) in the Battle of Cape Matapan [1]. This would continue for two years until work on her was halted due to the Italian armistice in 1943, thus leaving her unfinished. She was nearly completed on September 8th of the same year, but was confiscated by Germany and was put under guard, and was eventually damaged by an Allied air attack on Genoa in June 16, 1944. Afterwards on April 19, 1945 she was partially scuttled by Italian frogmen. Aquila would then be towed to La Spezia in 1949 where completing her or giving her another use was put into consideration, but she was eventually scrapped in 1952. She is sometimes paired with Graf_Zeppelin_(Kantai_Collection) as fellow incomplete carriers.
