uranami (kantai collection)
浦波 (lit. "Breaking wave")
Uranami is the personification of the tenth and last of the Fubuki-class destroyers as well as the tenth of the twenty-four Special Type destroyers in Kantai Collection.
Uranami has a similar "forthright energetic" personality to Fubuki, although with a somewhat more tomboyish edge. She also has a strong respect for/dependency upon her sister-ship, "Isonami-nee-san", referring to her or asking for help from her whenever she is in trouble. She similarly has a strong attachment to her other historic division-mates, Ayanami and Shikinami.
Similar to her sister-shipgirls, she has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her long hair is tied into a single braid that is swept to the front of her right shoulder.
Although she is listed as a Special Type I (Fubuki-class) destroyer, she is actually of an intermediary design between the Types I and II, with the funnels of the later type but with the guns of the earlier type. As such, she wears a variant of the "basic" uniform: a blue-and-white short-sleeved serafuku but with a brown collar (blue sailor collar) and a brown neckerchief characteristic of Shibafu's Ayanami-class. She completes the set with a blue pleated skirt, black kneehighs, and a red ribbon on her braid.
Her rigging consists of a smokestack carried like a backpack, a torpedo launcher strapped to either thigh, and a twin-cannon turret held in her right hand. Her official art also has her swinging an anchor in her left hand.
Historically, IJN Uranami was a part of DesDiv 19 with sister-ships Isonami, Ayanami, and Shikinami. During the battle of Midway, they were on escort duty, and Uranami and Isonami collided. Uranami also participated in the Battle of Savo Island, in which Ayanami famously became lost and wound up accidentally forming a pincer attack with the other ships of the unit. When Ayanami was sunk, Uranami helped rescue survivors. Uranami spent most of the rest of the war as an escort or transport. Uranami ultimately sank attempting to land reinforcement troops during the Battle of Leyte Gulf when she was struck by air attacks during attempted landings of troops and supplies.
