elbe (azur lane)
Azur Lane's personification of the German aircraft carrier Elbe.
Character designed by Nekometaru, voiced by Hieda Nene.
Appearance
She is portrayed with long grey hair, purple eyes, and large breasts.
Her default outfit consists of a black peaked cap, frilled black dress with a center cutout revealing her white dress inner layer, black thighhighs, black boots, and black gloves. Her rigging consists of two 105 mm twin anti-aircraft guns and an animalistic flight deck with aircraft catapults forward.
History
In real life, she was laid down as the ocean liner SS Potsdam, and after acquisition by the Kriegsmarine, began the carrier conversion process in late 1942 unlike her intended sister ship Jade. Work was halted just two months later with only her interior fittings removed, and served as a barracks ship for the rest of the war.
