I know there has been many busty ship girls, but I think Intrepid is the one with the feeling of actual 'weight' of such a thing. Maybe Kaga as well, I'm not sure.

She definitely seems to be getting the benefit of fanart that emphasizes her bosom and tries to pay at least some attention to breast physics. I do think what we're seeing here is a bit perkier than realistic breasts that size would be, though - I'd think one would need a bra to keep that size floating so high.
On a tangentially related note, I'm not sure about the medium_breasts tag, especially since large_breasts is also tagged. @Provence, is this a mistake, or were you yourself ambivalent as to which was applicable?

If I were ambivalent I wouldn't have tagged it at all. The wiki definition of medium's breasts upper bund are like this:
The breast's volume is less than the volume of a sphere with the same diameter as the character's facial area
Since anime characters have a bigger head than normal the breasts may look pretty large, so I can see the confusion. However, to me it (still) looks like the breasts are slightly smaller.
E: Uh, I see now what you mean. I removed the large breasts tag.

It's a mix of: Being american (look at Iowa)+being a CV+being drew by Shibafu.
About this last point: I think the way Shibafu draws his/her girls, specially Intrepid, portrays very well that full-figured body that, for example, other girls with big brest doesn't have.

Just wanted to remind you what you were doing. But as Pronak said, there's the whole Shibafu thing (and he generally tends to give his shapely girls very plush figures, his carriers more so and among them Souryuu and Hiiryuu)

JK, but if they have human bodies, the human bodies should work like human bodies unless there's a specific reason why they shouldn't. I give it somewhat of a pass here, because it's rare enough in any anime-style context to have larger boobs without benefit of a bra sag in a realistic way, but there's no reason why them being kanmusu should make their breasts respond differently to gravity.

Depends on the amount of cleavage, in other words, ribcage depth versus front-of-sternum-to-back.
For example, you could have a thick/keeled sternum under the skin there and some major armour slabs attached to the ribs that move with them and have enough space between overlaps (if not lobster tail style joints) to offer better core functionality protection, and a thick subdermal weave layer near the outside of those huge secretory "vents". So they'd look slightly unrealistic, but it's really touch that shows how non-human (i.e. not nearly squishy enough for mostly-fat lumps) they are.

So basically "kanmusu have perky boobs because porn-logic technobabble". I'm okay with this. I mean, it's no more irrational than the fact that kanmusu have to be female in the first place.
Of course, it sounds like you're going with "shipgirls are biomechanical creatures/cyborgs" here. I'm more partial to kouji's "shipgirls are ordinary girls imbued with the souls of their namesake ships" model, but since kouji-universe shipgirls are also canonically unaging and supernaturally durable, my own preferred logic is unnaturally strong and resilient connective tissue. Or put more succinctly, kanmusu have perky boobs because magic Cooper's ligaments.

Beyond defying normal human boundaries (durablity, likely strength, etc)? The further a character is from normal, the less likely such rules apply to them. As it is, the fact that shipgirls in general appearance rank about 7+/10 is reality defying enough.

Can't really argue against that logic.
Sometimes you just gotta suspend disbelief, sit back, and enjoy the show. As long as the series' logic is internally consistent, what difference does it make if it isn't consistent with real world logic?
