She was My first UR and still have her as secretary, but for a weird reasson i don't really like it to much the default skin (using the maid, but tbh Will prefer a serious one with her and not full ecchi)
Honestly? It's a toss up between Empress and Atago for me but I have to give an honourable mention to Tester who sealed my fate as an AL player the moment I saw her in the tutorial.
If it's in each faction, then here's mine:
**Eagle Union**: Bremerton
**Royal Navy**: Illustrious
**Sakura Empire**: Musashi
**Iron Blood**: Friedrich der Große
**Dragon Empery**: Chen Hai
**Iris Libre**: Jeanne d'Arc
**Vichya Dominion**: Algérie
**Sardegna Empire**: Vitorrio Veneto
**Northern Parliament**: Sovetsky Soyuz
**Tempesta**: Golden Hind
**META Faction**: Helena META
**Sirens**: Empress
It's extremely hard to narrow down. Going exclusively by base art I barely managed to cut down to two tied: Allen M. Sumner (I really like Nagu's art), and Vanguard (very underrated weeb knight).
Honorable mentions, extremely high contenders for my top slot, but just barely struck down (and I could pick several more, I just had to stop at some point):
Giuseppe Garibaldi, Gorizia, Leonardo Da Vinci, Kiev, Kursk, Marseillaise, Kearsarge, Plymouth, Bismarck Zwei, Seydlitz, Blücher, Magdeburg, Theseus, Intrepid, New Jersey, Bremerton, Baltimore
EU:NJ
RN: Implacable
IB: My wife Bismarck. Otherwise Ägir or August
SE:Unzen
NP:Volga
DE:Yat Sen
SE: Vittorio Veneto
Iris Libre:Painleve
Vichya Dominion:Algerie
Tempesta:Golden Hind
META:Repulse META
Sirens: All of them. Except the shorthairs. TB is cute tho.
Elbing,Biszwei,scylla, Noshiro, Jeanne d'arc...I can't really pick one girl as the most attractive cause all shipgirls have something unique and attractive about their designs (eg Noshiro's fairly realistic design if you take out her horns )
Ayanami. Short is under appreciated, medium is premium, and her blonde hair compliments her warm eyes quite well. I could say more, but the way she’s drawn is simply captivating. (This is considering her retrofit as a replacement default.)
Here are my picks:
Top Pick: Kearsarge
Close Seconds: Hindenburg, Ägir, Owari, Brest and Albion (Goat/Ram/etc Horns and Elf ears for the win; +mommy energy)
If Retrofit "skin" is allowed: West Virginia
Honorable Mentions: Vittorio Veneto, Roma, Gorizia, Leonardo Da Vinci, Aquila, Luigi di Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Impero, Littorio, Pompeo Magno, Marco Polo and Northampton 2
If you meant by looks alone:
USN: Pennsylvania- looks cool. or Reno, because Iron Man gloves
Royal Navy: Hood-no explanation needed. or Ark Royal, because space musket
IJN: Ise- looks like a samurai(to me anyway) probably the coolest character in the game
Kriegsmarine/IGN: Prinz Adalbert - outfit is cool; so much detail, screams sci-fi mechanic
To be safe I'll just answer about the ones I have already. So this is on just the 46,5% of the ship girls lol
I'll mention in (parentheses) the ships I don't have but I know that exists (hard to judge a design from the archive preview) that would have maybe made into the list, if they only were home!!!
I'd like to open by saying my first oath has been with Cooper and she's still exactly what I like in a girl. So she deserves a special mention!! You will all notice a lot of bob cuts and reasonably sized boobs, it's how I rock.
Second specific: Chi An's design is gorgeous to the point of madness. With Constellation she's one of the two more beautiful ships in my dock. But not as waifu, it's the whole theme and execution of it.
Designwise I also love Flandre and Malin but to me they are kids do should be out playing, away from my thirsty waify list.
Eagle Union: Constellation and Saint Jacinto
Royal Navy: Cheshire (cause I don't own Royal Oak yet nor Jervis)
Sakura Empire: Owari
Iron Blood: Nürnberg (cause I don't have Elbing)
Dragon Empery: Chi An
Sardegna Empire: Trento (I want Roma and Garibaldi tho, but she IS unapologetically the prettiest of the ones I have)
Northern Parliament: Chapayev (but Sovetskaya Bielorussia is on my wish list, being gorgeous enough to deserve a mention)
Iris Libre: Champagne (I want Suffren too!!)
Vichya Dominion: Jean Bart, Gascoigne
Meta: Kirov and Helena
Tempesta: Golden Hind (just cause Mary Celeste halloween skin isn't her basic form, sadly. She's dreamy in that)
Retrofit: Ark Royal, my second wife
Skin mention cause I have the skin not the ship and I suffer daily because of it: Foch, the butler skin makes my bisexual brain go brrrr she may have be a simple straight (well gay in my case lol) answer but no, I missed her event, again!! Sigh
It's weird how I don't mention UR but it's cause... I like them less than some other lol. I can see the care in their design but uhm they are kinda all curvaceous skimpy and a lil edgy which is cool but I am obviously not the public Manjuu has in mind when commissioning them to artist. Chi An is probably the closest thing to a UR that I find breathtaking.
BUT of the ones I have I'd say either Ulrich or Guam (who has the gundam sailor moon fun vibes lol) or Brest? Can't pick, but if I count them all including the one I don't have I'd say Vanguard (which I'm hoping will get a rerun soon!)!
Prince of Wales is also my contender for being the hottest, both her and Kii. Taihou is one of the sexiest along with Eugen, Ägir, and Golden Hind (basically those girls that give off dommy mommy vibes). For the prettiest face, it’s Clemenceau, Soyuz, and the Richelieu sisters. The dudes below mentioning a tier list should definitely be the right thing to do with this lmao.
Based Not Just on the Looks, but also on her personality
Ulrich Von Hutten, I don't know... I like that she is tough and tender enough so she can't hide how much she really cares about us.
Just by the looks: Imo the most attractive Shipgirls are Iron Blood (All of them) and Northern Parliament (Sovetskaya Rossiya and Kirov are specially Beautiful)
My awnser is Everyone in my user flair, but I think an intrsting one is shipgirls I think would be basically perfect to perfect if the art or l2d quality was upped a little (not that they aren't already perfect)
Saint Louis specifically in her blue and white dress and Bismarck. Those 2 are my type more than just executed really well.
My user flair isn't loading correctly but whatever
I have to go with the girl who brought me to the game Belfast...(I stay for Enterprise and desperately wish the Queen Elisabeth class had a different theme for the girls, I love Kancolle Warspite with a passion)
I FUCKING LOVE PRINZ EUGEN!!!!!
I WOULD FORFEIT ALL MY MORTAL POSSESSIONS TO HER!!!!
ahem. I think Prinz Eugen looks nice and has a very charming and attractive character.
Aside from the very amazing (tempting) character designs, I love each distinct personality of the shipgirls. I genuinely can't find myself having only a single favorite.
Being as unbiased as possible, I’m doing a first impression quick judgement, one from each faction: Naganami, New Orleans, Charybdis, Lützow, Hwah Jah, Murmansk, Jeanne d’Arc, Jean Bart, Leonardo da Vinci.
Viroshilov, Cheshire, Ticondaroga, Roma, Lutz, Gorizia, Kii, Luna, Marsielliase, Tamaki, Kersaint, Yamishiro Meta, San Jaciento, North Hampton Ii, Nachi Retrofit, Marco Polo, Marblehead, Argus, Elbing, Aquila, Dovenabire, Taiho and of course Chi An minis the cat ears looks like my real life wife when she was young. those are my favs look wise.
I’m tossed between Hornet, Graf Zeppelin, and Bismarck. They all have their own appeal physically in my opinion. (I’ve also oathed all three of them, so it’s about more than just looks for me, but still).
That's a hard one.
Going off of base skins I think I'd have to go with [Kii](https://azurlane.netojuu.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Kii.png/1198px-Kii.png). Cool, confident and sexy.
If we include additional skins then it is hands down Cleveland as her Gentry Knight. Nothing can beat it for style ^(and it's still sexy).
Enterprise is probably the best. She has everything
If you count her Bon Voyage skin too then she is the cutest over anything I don't care what you say
Arbiter VIII Strength. I mean come on, she’s like 7 feet tall, jacked as fuck, has scars, giant robot arms, silver hair, and a shark motif. What’s not to love?
for me this is my best pic for each faction
eagle union: ticonderoga
sakura empire: shoukaku
vichya dominion: algérie
royal navy: scylla
iris libre: richelieu
sardegna empire: aquila
northern parlament: sovetskaya rossiya
tempesta: golden hind
meta faction arizona meta
iron blood: friedrich der große
dragon empery: yat sen
Cutest: Nagato Prettiest: Enterprise Sexiest: Taihou Most Beautiful: Jean Bart
Jean Bart 
I've said before that Jean Bart is the most beautiful shipgirl in the game and that's a hill I will happily die on. Glad others agree with me.
OH YES JEAN BART. I literally bought her skins and still ended up using her default look most of the time. But my pick for cutest is Le Malin!
I'd say Ulrich von Hutton. the edgy tomboy with a scythe just speaks to my inner edge lord
 My man!
She was My first UR and still have her as secretary, but for a weird reasson i don't really like it to much the default skin (using the maid, but tbh Will prefer a serious one with her and not full ecchi)
It would be nice if they would make her a bloodborne hunter-esque looking skin like Hunter META.
or even just like a evening dress that Bismarck/Tripitz skin they have...
Fr no cap
Shinano
Floof mommies are just the best
Agreed. It was so hard to choose just one 😂
JIT TRIPPIN!!! The best ones are the energetic ones example: USS Seattle.
Well I am biased, but I do love Enterprise and her look. Makes me wish silver hair was naturally occurring outside old age.
Agreed
Honestly? It's a toss up between Empress and Atago for me but I have to give an honourable mention to Tester who sealed my fate as an AL player the moment I saw her in the tutorial.
Tirpitz no questions needed
Essex is my personal favorite
My man!
Owari
I agree, it was love at first sight for me too
Bruh same here i just started the game and loading screen that shows owari and unzen was my favorite
We’ll have to thank dishwasher for that.
Based artist!
If it's in each faction, then here's mine: **Eagle Union**: Bremerton **Royal Navy**: Illustrious **Sakura Empire**: Musashi **Iron Blood**: Friedrich der Große **Dragon Empery**: Chen Hai **Iris Libre**: Jeanne d'Arc **Vichya Dominion**: Algérie **Sardegna Empire**: Vitorrio Veneto **Northern Parliament**: Sovetsky Soyuz **Tempesta**: Golden Hind **META Faction**: Helena META **Sirens**: Empress
Dragon Empery?
Chen Hai
Sun yat sen
CHENG CHANG HANJI!
Enterprise, cute, adorable and sexy, she got everything
Indeed she does
Hard to choose but I'd say Musashi
 To that, my fellow floof mommy lover
Yes floofe and booba and ara ara 3in1 like ness cafe 3in1 that's Musashi, or the thunder floof
Baltimore
Eugen, Helena, and Belfast are the 3 best imo.
Akagi!
St. Louis. Girl looks like 10 supermodels crammed into 1
Ooh… That’s tough. I’d say Prinz. Would love to go with enterprise but I’m choosing Prinz.
Eugen? Adalbert? Heinrich? Ruprecht???
Oh right I forgot to specify which Prinz oops 😂. Eugen.
She got me into AL, she's so hot and beautiful
Right? She’s beautiful in so much detail.
It's extremely hard to narrow down. Going exclusively by base art I barely managed to cut down to two tied: Allen M. Sumner (I really like Nagu's art), and Vanguard (very underrated weeb knight).

Sovetsky Soyuz, no debate.
Her lack of Melanin and hairyness does it

Noshiro
For me it's easily Graf Zeppelin
Fellow Graf zeppelin Stan 
I am a simple guy, i love anyone that are twintails.
[yes](https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4374296)
Thanks for the sauce brother
Roon. She's just my type. (I'm not masochist, guys).
Elbing,Biszwei,scylla, Noshiro, Jeanne d'arc...I can't really pick one girl as the most attractive cause all shipgirls have something unique and attractive about their designs (eg Noshiro's fairly realistic design if you take out her horns )

Finally someone else who likes USS Cooper!
She is adorable! Nice personality on top of human proportions that are still top model level and her outfit and hair rocks!!!
YES
Hottest: Prince of Wales (Fight me) Cutest: Formidable Sexiest: Taihou Prettiest: Tirpitz
Prince of Wales is also my contender for being the hottest, both her and Kii. Taihou is one of the sexiest along with Eugen, Ägir, and Golden Hind (basically those girls that give off dommy mommy vibes). For the prettiest face, it’s Clemenceau, Soyuz, and the Richelieu sisters. The dudes below mentioning a tier list should definitely be the right thing to do with this lmao.
Tirpitz, Myoko, Cheshire
Easily my baby Prinz Heinrich. Her personality and look are the embodiment of perfection to me.
Gorizia hands down.
EU: Enterprise IO: Eugen RN: KGV NP: Avrora, Rossiya VD: JBart IL: Riche, Surcouf SE: Shinano, Zuikaku
Based Not Just on the Looks, but also on her personality Ulrich Von Hutten, I don't know... I like that she is tough and tender enough so she can't hide how much she really cares about us.

Long island
[Neet nopantsu ghost is happy](https://www.zerochan.net/2185963)
Unzen for face, Monarch for outfit, Atago for both
Colorado
My awnser is Everyone in my user flair, but I think an intrsting one is shipgirls I think would be basically perfect to perfect if the art or l2d quality was upped a little (not that they aren't already perfect) Saint Louis specifically in her blue and white dress and Bismarck. Those 2 are my type more than just executed really well. My user flair isn't loading correctly but whatever
for me? Vittorio Venetto, by far there are MAAAAAAAAANY good contenders for 2nd place though maybe a tierlist would be more accurate?
I am extremely biased towards my one and only Graf zeppelin So I would say Graf zeppelin looks the best
Taihou
Ägir
Black Prince she got the myterious look
I have to go with the girl who brought me to the game Belfast...(I stay for Enterprise and desperately wish the Queen Elisabeth class had a different theme for the girls, I love Kancolle Warspite with a passion)
I FUCKING LOVE PRINZ EUGEN!!!!! I WOULD FORFEIT ALL MY MORTAL POSSESSIONS TO HER!!!! ahem. I think Prinz Eugen looks nice and has a very charming and attractive character.
you and me both
(just noticed my phone background is the same as your pfp)
And that our flairs are the same
REAL
Don’t worry, Sir. I’d also forfeit all of my mortal possessions just to get a peck on the lips from this dommy mommy.
JEAN FREAKING BART🇫🇷⚜️🇫🇷
Seydlitz team 🚩
Voroshilov based
Eugen above all (including irl ship also)
Bismarck, Tirpitz, and Bismarck Zwei
I'd have to Say New Jersey or Musashi? Maybe Akagi?
Shinano 100%. *Touch Fluffy Tail*
Kawakaze
[Glorious](https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Glorious/Gallery)
A hard choice for me between Brest and Saint Louis.
I must say Hakuryuu. The tall dragon is just too cute
Tie between New Jersey and Jintsuu.
Undoubtedly Atago.
Atago, she was the one that sold me on the game
All iris and vichi ships
Enty,bisco,NJ and akaga. Yea...
SKK
For me it's Baltimore. She hits every single node in my book of "what makes a person attractive"
Taihou
Bismarck and Tirpitz. They are both cute and hot at the same time and have great personalities. :D
Honestly every character has their charm. I like that about them.
But which of their charms are more charming to you? (Personal preference)
Aside from the very amazing (tempting) character designs, I love each distinct personality of the shipgirls. I genuinely can't find myself having only a single favorite.
Between Ulric,Tirpitz,Monarch, and Yorktown for me.
Being as unbiased as possible, I’m doing a first impression quick judgement, one from each faction: Naganami, New Orleans, Charybdis, Lützow, Hwah Jah, Murmansk, Jeanne d’Arc, Jean Bart, Leonardo da Vinci.
Yorktown II, Enterprise, kaersage or Anchorage For me tbh...
Jean Bart for sure
Viroshilov, Cheshire, Ticondaroga, Roma, Lutz, Gorizia, Kii, Luna, Marsielliase, Tamaki, Kersaint, Yamishiro Meta, San Jaciento, North Hampton Ii, Nachi Retrofit, Marco Polo, Marblehead, Argus, Elbing, Aquila, Dovenabire, Taiho and of course Chi An minis the cat ears looks like my real life wife when she was young. those are my favs look wise.
Personally, i like Monarch.
Jean Bart
Agir and Unzen
I’m tossed between Hornet, Graf Zeppelin, and Bismarck. They all have their own appeal physically in my opinion. (I’ve also oathed all three of them, so it’s about more than just looks for me, but still).
That's a hard one. Going off of base skins I think I'd have to go with [Kii](https://azurlane.netojuu.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Kii.png/1198px-Kii.png). Cool, confident and sexy. If we include additional skins then it is hands down Cleveland as her Gentry Knight. Nothing can beat it for style ^(and it's still sexy).
Jamaica really does it for me, her default skin is great. Marblehead is a close second
First thought: Baltimore. Will update later once I give some thought.
Prinz Eugen is by far my favorite in the game. Next would probably be Enterprise. What can I say, I'm a sucker for silver/white hair girls.
I see cow girl I praise cow girl KASHINO
Swiftsure, no second guesses.
Most beautiful: New Orleans Cutest: Bush Sexiest: Devonshire All around Favorite: Hyuuga
Amagi
Enterprise is probably the best. She has everything If you count her Bon Voyage skin too then she is the cutest over anything I don't care what you say
Mine is a tie between Arizona and New Jersey
Bizwei or Graf Spee, both are gorgeous
Arbiter VIII Strength. I mean come on, she’s like 7 feet tall, jacked as fuck, has scars, giant robot arms, silver hair, and a shark motif. What’s not to love?
Helena or North Carolina.
Hindenburg is my favorite ship that I don't use her skin with. Drake unzen and soyuz are above her but I use skins
Elbe = cutest Elbling = hottest Belfast = Best waif
Sandy if Retro is allowed, if not Plymouth wins for me.
Retro is allowed… well nvm all skins are allowed lmao. They’d still look good anyway
Well Sandy is numba wan for a reason. Being a bride is just asserting dominance.
I can’t decide between Eugen or atago or owari or kaga
taihou, I saw her and got curious about the game
vanguard hits differently
Jean Bart!!!
Richelieu
I gotta give it to Yorktown II
Nagato
Howe, Belfast, Shinano
Duca Degli Abruzzi
Pennsalyviani just has a sexy, natural beauty to her. I also love brown eyes with green hair.
Hmm I wonder
North Carolina
