Not that it would matter too much at sea but those heels look really difficult walk in, especially with the rudder part raised up like that. Actually can we even call them heels if it doesn't provide any support and just forces the wearer to walk around on their toes?

From how they're constructed they might be able to slot down to provide support, and they're simply slotted up right now to be in "combat" mode.

While you can't see them very well in this image, the damaged image gives a reminder that Atlanta carries torpedoes.
Bust size seems big for such a light AA cruiser...though they could treat her like a large destroyer, as some destroyers are really large in the chest.
Interesting choice of outfit. You can actually see her dress shirt though her skirt... Kinda wish it was a little longer or pulled lower honestly. I'm interested to see what her personality is like.

Atlanta class was known for having major issues of being rather top heavy. The Oakland subclass removed the wing turrets to help with this issue and then the Juneau Class further helped mitigate this problem
Carriers - Saratoga and Intrepid Light Carriers - Gambier Bay Destroyers - Fletcher and Johnston Destroyer Escorts - Samuel B. Roberts Battleships - Colorado and Iowa Heavy Cruisers - Houston Light Cruisers - Atlanta
Just need a repair ship and a sub to complete the US set.
Let the unfair comparisons with AL's Atlanta (a much earlier design) begin!

Well buxom CLs are nothing new to this game (Tenryuu, anyone?)

Yep, San Diego more so (hence AL Sandy being stacked)
I've always wondered where this "Atlanta sunk Akatsuki" thing came from given that my records show that Akatsuki only illuminated Atlanta with her searchlight leading to both aggro'ing fire from about half their respective enemy fleets.

And... oh yeah... Akatsuki only lasted 2 minutes.
It is not confirmed that Atlanta sunk Akatsuki. But Atlanta was the ship with the most firepower firing at her. Akatsuki sunk from the damage some time later.
And Atlanta was sunk by a torpedo (Ikazuchi or Inazuma) and friendly fire from San Francisco. She was scuttled after that battle as she was considered a practical loss (too expensive to repair)

The way you say it, and when one look at her face, you can tell she's the kind of girl who gets kicked in the knees by small kids while she have this deadpan face and say, "stop it already, or else..." with a flat tone.
Been a while since I was able to use one of these....

I'm going to love seeing Atlanta triggering some PTSD in Akatsuki in Ido's comics.
This Involving Shipgirls That Are No Longer Allowed, Rule 2164: Atlanta is to be kept away from the Akatsuki class for her own safety. (And Tenryuu's, going by the end of that chapter.)
While I'm thinking about it, a reminder to all shipgirls that during a night battle, searchlights work both ways.
Hard to determine who sunk Akatsuki, considering half the US fleet fired on her. Destroying her steering room causing her to go widely off course and sinking 15 minutes later.
[3] Editorial Note 3 - This "general crediting" comes from the majority of post-war sources and reports, but were necessarily speculative. Recent testimony by Japanese veterans has clarified the issue. Whoever did torpedo Atlanta it was apparently not Akatsuki. In interviews in 1992 and 1998 her chief torpedo officer (A good summary is found in The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal: Night Action 13 November 1942- James Grace ISBN1557503273) Lt. Shinya Michiharu is adamant she was unable to launch torpedoes after being overwhelmed by gunfire after indeed illuminating Atlanta for the others. Repeated hits first disabled starboard then port machinery and the steering was knocked out. It is unclear to Shinya if she even was able to fire any guns, but stated no torpedoes. The true likely agents were thus either Inazuma or Ikazuchi, but the question remains open. - (Tully)
Ahhh another American beauty made by Yoshinori. I was getting worried she would never make another American ship. No offense to the other artists, but Yoshinori is queen of American ship-girl design. It's kinda cool though that other artists are getting in on designing US ship girls. All the other ships from other countries have one designated artist but the US and Japan get multiple artists.
