Still I do think she looks terrible and that it's something that is deluting the overall style that KanColle is going for, seems like someone was drunk when they approved it. Now that I own her tho... I kinda like her a little bit, just put on some clothes damint, is that too much to ask for. In my pushback, it's not even about being a Musashi fan. It's about your argument that her design delutes/undermines the style that is KanColle.

The fact of the matter is that the most distinctive ships have a very distinctive design that is indicative of their namesake. In the case of Musashi, her overall design is a giant shout-out to Miyamoto Musashi who, like many contemporary warriors of that timeframe, wore chest-wraps. This is in addition to the historical aspects of the battleship that WellSpokenMan pointed out; painted a dark color and soot on the deck on her final sortie. As far as her being portrayed as a delenquent is because unlike her sister, Musashi saw a lot more action.

The fact of the matter is that her design is not 'a trainwreck of fetishes' or something that got past because the approving authority was drunk.

I understand you don't care for the overall design, I'm not a fan of the chest-wrap either, especially when considering her pose (I like busty ladies, but the whole thing looks off to me because of her pose and such)...but I understand the reasoning behind all of it..
