Trivia

General Information

She is named after the state of Iowa.
She was launched on the 27th August 1942.
Recommissioned twice before she was finally struck and re-purposed as a museum ship in Los Angeles.

Update History

She was added on the 3rd May 2016 as Spring 2016 Event E7 reward.

Misc

She is the first American-based Kanmusu to be introduced into the KanColle franchise.
She debuted in KanColle Kai before making her way over to the browser game in the Spring 2016 Event.
She's also the first Kanmusu in which her ship she is based upon is both a survivor from WWII and still exists to this present day.
In her browser release, Iowa had a bug that caused her stats to increase higher than originally intended, this bug was however fixed on May 13th, 2016.
She speaks Bonin English.
Based on Takana and Yoshinori's interview in the June 2016 Edition of Comtiq Magazine, they explained a few important key points regarding Iowa and her design.
- Yoshinori noted that Iowa's design concept started back a year and a half ago from the Spring 2016 Event. It involved a large amount of research at designs from WWII to come up with a design that would represent Iowa and making her appear American on first glance.
- Takana and Yoshinori noted that the main inspiration for Iowa design came from Airplane Nose Pin art. An example of such would be the art from the B-17 Bomber "Memphis Belle".
Struck on March 17, 2006
Became the last lead ship of all battleships in the US Navy during WWII.
Survived World War II.
