I've seen two people comment that Intrepid's not blonde. That hair color is the definition of honey blonde, and if someone has to "try" to draw a Westerner, that's not a lot of confidence. Let's face it though, stylistically the existing US ships (Iowa, Saratoga, and Gambier Bay) seem to have similar design language across a couple different artists, and Shibafu's attempt here is a drastic shift to a different design language. It's not jarring because she's a potato, it's jarring because she's not the kinda stereotypical bombshell pin-up types we've come to expect from the US characters.
