Hm... coming up with ideas for designs is pretty difficult. But I'm bored and recently watched Das Boot again, so...

The real U96 is one of the few U-boats to survive all of its missions until it was sunk at dock in 1945. I don't think her hairstyle would be too complex or fancy - No loops, twintails, double-buns. I actually think she should wear the iconic white captain's hat (think I-8), covering a simple hairstyle. Slightly curly and medium length seemed to be a common hairstyle at the time, so I'd go with that. Bangs would be long enough to use the sawfish hairclip. Hair color would be light, maybe some kinda blonde, but not as light as Bismarck/Z1.

Rig would be the VIIC conning tower. She would be holding a pistol-sized deck gun. Binoculars worn around her neck. Torpedo tubes/launchers... I dunno. Sub designs thus far just seem to hold the torpedos themselves instead of wearing the tubes like destroyers would (Yukikaze, Amatsukaze). The front-end of U-boats looks so sleek and badass though, it'd be a pity not to use them in a design...

A sailor uniform would work, but I would play around with idea of using the U-boat crew's gray leather jacket as a uniform. It might look too serious and thus not moe enough though, but it would definitely be a breath of fresh air. In one of her pockets, a small book or journal (the captain's notes) would be visible.

Start a sortie: ALAAAAAAAAAAARM!!!!
