Now Viewing: submarine_himeTag type: Character 潜水棲姫 A boss-type submarine Shinkansei-kan enemy in Kantai_Collection, introduced in the Fall 2015 event, which focuses on the Solomon Islands Campaign [1]. Like many "hime-tier" Shinkaisei-kan, she has voluminous very_long_hair and wears a flowing white_dress. To her right is a large metal structure shaped like the bow of a WW2-era submarine, except with a trademark Shinkaisei-kan teeth-filled maw and glowing_eyes. She holds or swims near multiple torpedoes. A pair of tubes also seem to connect into the back of her thighs or butt. Unlike most of the "hime" or "oni" characters, there doesn't seem to be an obvious single historical reference that Submarine Hime represents, instead seeming to embody ALL submarines. She has, however, been considered "Albacore [2] Hime" by some, due to the USS Albacore's notorious record against the IJN, although Albacore spent the Solomon Campaign sinking transports, and wouldn't get most of the kills that made the ship notorious until afterwards. There has also been the suggestion that she is I-27 [3], an unimplemented Type-B1 submarine (the same class as I-19_(Kantai_Collection)) who sank in the area where she is encountered as a boss.
