Post's 'okay' I guess, but I just gotta ask something... When will Japan/Asia/rest-of-the-world realize that very few Americans have naturally blonde hair. Blonde-blonde I mean.
Most of us are raven-heads or bruns... exactly like Japan.
(Also, I will never get over the tacky get-ups that people manage to shove anything American in. Honestly, at that rate you'd think that the Yamato-class should have been in samurai armor.)
Ah, stereotypes. Gotta love 'em. Otherwise, you'll go insane.
Is it just me or does a bow feel out of place for the American carriers? Something like a Garand or wild west rifle might be more appropriate.

B-but, it makes her star spangled, just like our banner! =(
There's actually a fair amount of Japanese artists that know the truth about our appearances, it's just most mainstream artists draw stereotypes because they know everyone will recognize them (such as Miss Captain America here). Personally I just want allied Kanmusus period, diversity is a beautiful thing.
Not trying to stir-up the pot, or anything, but can we please get some American ship girls of color? America is a country that's made up of different types of people, of all races you know.
Would fit perfectly if they were portrayed as native North American Indians, but I think the Japanese artists don't even know that they exist.
Don't want to be politically correct. Yet the term "North American Indian" is incorrect. As Indians are those from India not North America. It is "Native American" for North American's Native Tribes. While for Canada it is "First Nation" for the Native Tribes.

Oh, you may be right. In my mother tongue we call native Americans (both south and north) "Índios" and "Indianos" for people from India, both translated as "Indians" to English. Must be some heritage from the Portuguese navigators since they sailed west believing they would reach India instead of a whole new continent, then calling the natives "Indians".
