Trivia

General Information

  • She was launched on the 27th of August 1942.
  • Recommissioned twice before she was finally struck and re-purposed as a museum ship in Los Angeles.
Update History
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 on which her ship she is based upon is both a WWII survivor 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.
