Introduction Play	I'm the nameship of the Lextington-class aircraft carriers, USS Lexington. I'm also known as "Lady Lex". I was deployed in the Pacific Fleet and fought against Japan's carrier task force. Admiral, please take care of me.
	Lexington級航空母艦nameship、USS Lexingtonです。Lady Lexとも呼ばれているわ。太平洋艦隊に配属され、日本空母機動部隊と対峙したわ。Admiral, 私のこともよろしく頼むわね。
Introduction Play	I'm the nameship of the Lextington-class aircraft carriers, USS Lexington. "Lady Lex" is fine too. I have fond memories of facing down Japan's carrier task force as part of the Pacific Fleet, but that's in the past now. Come on, Admiral, CarDiv 5, let's go!

Library Play	I'm USS Lexington, CV-2, assigned to the Pacific Fleet. I was originally laid down as a battleship, so the first proper aircraft carrier was Ranger. I avoided disaster from the attack on Pearl Harbor by Nagumo's Mobile Force, and I had a showdown with the Japanese carrier task force's Shoukaku and Zuikaku in that fateful Coral Sea. I have no regrets. We fought fair and square, with everything we had. Remember that.
	太平洋艦隊所属USS CV-2 Lexingtonです。元は戦艦として建造されたの。だから最初からの正式な正規空母はRangerになるわね。南雲機動部隊の真珠湾攻撃の難は逃れ、運命の珊瑚海で日本機動部隊の翔鶴瑞鶴と対決したわ。後悔はない。正々堂々、全力で戦ったの。覚えていて。

	Admiral? 何? あぁ、この煙突？ごめん、少し大きかった? もともと戦艦だから多少は、ね？そうよ、だから、そこにも一発食らっちゃった。ふん。でも、昔の話よ。敵も味方も今はないわ。Saraと共に私のこともよろしくね。
Idle Play	In the competition between carriers, we can't fall behind Shoukaku and Zuikaku. Now's the time to focus on aircraft maintenance. Right, Yorky? Yorky? Ah, I see. She hasn't woken up yet. Right...
	空母戦で翔鶴瑞鶴に遅れを取るわけにはいかないわ。今のうちに艦載機たちの整備を。ね、Yorky? Yorky? あ、そっか。彼女はまだ目覚めていないのね。そっか。
Secretary Married Play	What's wrong, dear? Are you okay? That's good, but remember that Lady Lex is here for you. Nothing can stop us.
	あなた、どうしたの？平気? ならいいけど、あなたにはこのLady Lexがついてる。だから、負けないわ。
Wedding Play	Amira? What's with that getup? Are you going to a party? Eh? This box... Don't tell me... It's for me? My answer is... Yes! A thousand times yes! I wonder if I'd have to give up "Lady Lex". What do you think, dear?

Trivia

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the Abyssal Coral Sea Water Demon.

General Information

• She is named after the Battle of Lexington.
• She was launched on the 3rd of October 1925.
• Scuttled after the Battle of the Coral Sea on the 8th of May 1942.

Update History

• She was added on the 8th of August 2024 as Summer 2024 Event E5 reward.

Misc

• She was nicknamed "Lady Lex" and "Gray Lady".
• Her stock equipment are all historic squadrons assigned to her during her service early in World War II until her eventual loss after the Battle of th Coral Sea.
• Although several sources will credit USS Yorktown for sinking Shouhou, it was USS Lexington that spotted and her planes from VS-2 and VB-2 that attacked and disabled Shouhou which led her flooding and dead in the water. Yorktown's planes came later and delivered the final blow.
• Her wreck was found in 2018 by RV Petrel and Paul Allen's team.
• Her seiyuu Akiha Matsui is the daughter of the veteran seiyuu Yoshino Takamori. Her mother Yoshino voiced Anise Pharm from Sonic Soldier Borgman back in 1988 which was also another important work by Kia Asamiya. Many veteran writers, illustrators, and animators credit the character of Anise for helping the evolution and the concept of a bishoujo in a military scifi and mecha musume setting in Japan which lead to the different subgenres we have now.
