This leads me to believe that the new girl is going to either be Maryland or West Virgina...though I'm strongly leaning towards West Virgina right now. I would have to disagree on it being West Virginia. The descriptions heavily mention Colorado a lot as the nameship and the fairy for the MK 8 is paired with Mutsu. Which indicates more Maryland. However it should be noted that Colorado was the second Battleship of the class to be completed which is why most non-American powers called it the Maryland class. Before Japan pleaded for Mutsu's case all Colorado class but Maryland were going to be scrapped. So it could be that Colorado herself is Mutsu like. Alternatively it's Maryland. That said West Virginia is always a possibility. KC is no stranger at giving ships remodels only their sisters recieved anyway. The existence of the Mk. 8 makes it seem like the Colorado class ship already has a kai 2(or rather MK II) planned in the future. If we are lucky maybe she will even have the K2 form upon implementation if the devs are feeling generous. I'm really just going off of the Google-Translated text for the MKI and MKV guns; they state that those were specifically for the Colorado-Class and that 'the sisters were defeated at Pearl Harbor' and then following up with a mention that they got some upgrades and rejoined the fight combined with the information on the Colorado-Class as a whole on Wikipedia as a guide for my speculaton.

The fact that the flavor-text just says 'Colorado-Class' tells me that the devs are probably pulling their information from US-sources (maybe even just Wikipedia like me XD) as opposed to other sources (as you mentioned).

This all being said, I'm speculating that the new girl will either be West Virgina or Maryland because both check all the blocks; both are members of the Big Seven, both are Colorado-class, both were at Pearl Harbor and both were damaged in that attack (though West Virgina got the worst of it).

Now, even though I'm putting my money on West Virgina because she got the worst of the two at Pearl Harbor, I *want* Maryland because that's where I live (I'm originally from Ohio, but 've given up on seeing any Ohio-Class anything in this game XD)

...as I type this, I can't help but want all of the Big Seven to be implemented and for there to be some sort of super-epic CI if you have them all in the same fleet...because that would be just f**king amazing!
