I wish that more ship girls from all these nations, Japan and more would arrive to kantai collection. I love to learn about them, most because I don't know much about their history and what they represent to their navies. Coming from an insignificant and backwards place that is the Philippines, this is one of the ways I get to learn about other peoples' culture.

Same as me. One of the good ways to learn about history is throughout pop culture. (Well, as long as you seek the true history of them)
Then you should probably play World of Warships. They give historical info on each ship. Not to mention, they partnered with Arpeggio of Blue Steel, which is so much better than KanColle. Even Haifuri (High School Fleet) is better in terms of anime, and story. But the games, KanColle is good for turn based players, WoWs is good for real time players who prefer an actual feeling of being the captain of each ship.
Variety is the spice of life. I find Warsppite's design perfect, especially in comparison to the overblown-to-the-point-of-self-parody Iowa.
I found her design quite surprising. An off-shoulder dress like that is just screaming for huge boobs but she's quite average. I think she's even smaller than Kongou.
I like the idea of Warspite being the shortest foreign BB...
As already said, historically she was. She was shorter and way lighter compared to Bismarck and Littorio, and even more compared to Iowa.

I just can't get over how small Warspite's boobs are compared to the others. Isn't she a battleship in the first place?
Bismarck's boobs aren't that big too, It's her position that makes them stand out more. And I have to say I prefer those more "natural" dimension in respect to that of Iowa.
Yeah, Warspite is pretty stubby compared to the rest of the foreign capital ships, so her being shorter totally makes sense to me. I'd like to see a foreign BB height chart just for fun.

There's also the fact Warspite was by Konishi, who doesn't really do conspicuous boobs, unlike Yoshinori, jiji and Fumikane.
"Konishi... who doesn't do conspicuous boobs"... does not... compute (Aganos, Kongou K2, Shoukaku K2's surprise boobs, etc)

Using the actual proportions reported to human heights, the differencies are too wide, but halving the variability, the results are quite interesting. Attributing an arbitrary 1.80m to Iowa we have: Iowa: 1.80m Yamato: 1.78m Bismarck: 1.74m Littorio: 1.69m Warspite: 1.55m
Quite realistic, aren't they?
Extending to other BB that could be implemented we have: Sharnhorst: 1.68m King George V: 1.66m Nelson: 1.63m North Carolina: 1.64m South Dakota: 1.60m Giulio Cesare: 1.52m
