Artistic Forces/Shipgirl

The Shipgirl is a type of Mecha Musume and vessel that defines a female humanoid naval vessel featuring design elements of a ship like anchors, naval guns or torpedo tubes, and has the ability to sail via floating or her feet. Usually, it is also a namesake moe anthropomorphization of real-life warships, most notably the historical military ships that represent girls and young women, as popularized by two of these game titles: Kantai Collection and Azur Lane.

Similar to the Mecha Musume, both the Joshi Guntai and the Yami Musume are the only factions that utilize this type of unit in Artistic Forces, produced by their respective vessel production structures, such as the Kantai Docks.
