There are actually quite a few references in her character design. That thing on the front of her USN officer cap is the Gun Director that sits on top of her fire control platform on her foremast. The colors represent her prewar light gray (almost white) paint scheme and the one she had during her final days which consisted of light gray and an improvised ocean gray called cavite gray. In her damaged art her number 3 turret is damaged in reference to the damage she sustained from a japanese air attack that disabled her number 3 turret. I consider this version much better than her azur lane counter part.
