Personality: Many say Washington's honest and dynamic. Of course she's also amusing, pretty much an open book and quite sweet, but in a way they're lesser traits and tained by behaviors of being prejudiced as well. She's also got rather good situational awareness thanks to her recent training as part of Azur Lane.

(Nothing all too remarkable)


Backstory (prior to being summoned into Azur Lane): "USS Washington (BB-47) was the second ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the 42nd state. Her keel was laid down on 30 June 1919 by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation of Camden, New Jersey. She was launched on 1 September 1921, but on 8 February 1922, two days after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, all construction work ceased on the 75.9% completed dreadnought.

The ship was towed out to sea off the Virginia Capes in November 1924 to be used as a gunnery target. On the first day of testing, the ship was hit by two 400-pound (180 kg) torpedoes and three 1 short ton (0.91 t) near-miss bombs with minor damage and a list of three degrees. On that day, the ship had 400 pounds of TNT detonated on board, but she remained afloat. Two days later, the ship was hit by fourteen 14-inch (360 mm) shells dropped from 4,000 feet (1,200 m), but only one penetrated. The ship was finally sunk on 26 November 1924 by the battleships New York and Texas with fourteen 14-inch shell hits. After the test, it was reported that a bright light engulfed the battleship as it sank. About two days later, a dive crew was sent to go investigate the wreck for any truth to the reports, but all the dive crew found was a calm and undisturbed seabed and no signs of the Dreadnought" (This is borrowed and changed a bit from her Wikipedia article btw)
