Introduction
Play 		I'm Houston, of the Northampton-class. Admiral, let us protect the tranquility of the Pacific and the seas of Asia together. This time... this time I believe we can do it.
Northampton級Houstonよ。提督、共に太平洋、アジア方面の海の静けさを守っていきましょう。今は…今はそれができると信じています。
Library
Play 		I'm Houston, the Northampton-class heavy cruiser assigned to the Asiatic Fleet. I fought alongside Perth, De Ruyter, and the other girls as the ABDA Fleet. The last thing I remember was being off Batavia, but my soul and name lived on in a new light cruiser[1].
アジア艦隊に配備されたNorthampton級重巡Houstonよ。Perth, De Ruyter、彼女たちと共に、ABDA艦隊として戦ったの。私の記憶は、バタビア沖が最後だけど、その魂と名は、新型軽巡に継承されたわ。

Secretary Married
Play 		Admiral, are you tired? I'll pour you some coffee. It's hot, please let it cool. Shall I make some pancakes as well? Mine are delicious. Wait just a moment.
提督、お疲れでは？ Coffeeを入れましょう。熱いの、待っていてください。パンケーキも焼きましょうか。私のは美味しいのよ。少し待っていて。
Wedding
Play 		Admiral, is this? For my service? No? Feelings? Yours? I'm honored, Admiral. I'll humbly accept it.

Trivia

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the Batavia Princess.

General Information
  • Named after the city of Houston.
  • She was launched on the 7th of September 1929.
  • Sunk in the Battle of Sunda Strait, on the 1st of March 1942.
  • Wreck located in June 2014 and identity confirmed in August 2014; she lies on her starboard side in relatively shallow water and evidence of illegal salvage has been found.
  • The U.S. Navy regularly checks on the wreck to prevent illegal salvage.
Update History
Misc
  • The ribbon on her collar is a Navy Presidential Unit Citation
  • The white color scheme of Houston's base form reflects the peacetime colors of the US Navy. The darker colors of Houston's Kai form appear to represent USN camouflage Measure 1, the USN's "default" camouflage for the war.
  • Houston's survivors, alongside survivors of a battalion of the U.S. Army on Java (the "Lost Battalion"), were captured by the Japanese. The majority were forced into hard labor on the Burma Railway, which is (fictionally) portrayed in The Bridge on the River Kwai
