Summary

The personification of the destroyer Ayanami. The Type II Ayanami-class destroyers, were a marginally improved version of the existing Fubuki-class. Ayanami made up one prong of a three-pronged attack, but communication trouble from her being on the other side of Savo Island caused her to not receive news that her fleet had retreated temporarily, which resulted in her meeting the entire fury of the American fleet. The Battle of the Solomons, or the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, would be Ayanami's last naval engagement before her untimely sinking

Range: Standard melee range, Ten of kilometers with Main Guns and Torpedoes, AA Ceiling of ten of kilometers with AA Guns.

Standard Equipment:

• Shipgirl's Rigging: All Shipgirls have their standard rigging correspond to their ship version, which have built-in radars that allow them to get information about their opponents and their surroundings, locate other ships' positions, and pinpoint their direction, or use it for navigation.
• Guns: Heavy Cruiser Shipgirls has access to various guns ranging from AA guns to Naval cannons.

Intelligence: Above Average (Although she has trouble understanding some human interactions or concepts like her ears being cute. She is a skilled fighter, capable of defeating various comparable ships in combat. In the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal she was succumbed to melee, and with the assistance of two other destroyers, she would be responsible for the sinking of two destroyers, mortally wounding another, and severely damaging a fourth.)

Weaknesses: Her understanding of things is mostly limited to fighting, however, this doesn't affect her in combat. Shipgirls heavily depend on their rigging. Damaging it can hinder their fighting efficiencies and capacities; without it they lose the abilities to fight and their superhuman physical characteristics, returning them to normal human girl levels of strength. Torpedoes need water to operate properly.
