Chitose

Appearance

 * Artist: Kuu Ro Kuro (くーろくろ)
 * The Chitose class has 5 remodels with a total of 5 different visual forms, the most of any ship.
 * Original form: Chitose wears a white blouse over a short red hakama bottom with a flame patterned vest over her blouse, black pantyhos, and a headband. She dual-wields plane catapults. She has grey eyes and has her silver hair in a ponytail (hidden behind her back in all but her Carrier Kai Ni Damaged CG).
 * 2nd Form (Kai): Chitose gains a second pair of plane catapults over her shoulders.
 * 3rd Form (A): She gains a pair of midget submarine racks on her ankles.
 * 4th Form (Carrier & Carrier Kai): Chitose replaces her catapults and submarine racks with a flight deck theater. On the flight deck is the first two kana of her name (ちと). She controls her planes with puppet control bars.
 * 5th Form (Kai 2): Her flight deck theatre becomes more intricate in its design and her hakama and vest gain splotches of a green, black, and yellow camo pattern. Her expression also changes from a more serious, commanding expression to a softer smile.

Personality

 * Seiyuu: Wakana Miyagawa (宮川若菜)

Note

 * Chitose (and her sister Chiyoda) can remodel five times and convert into a light aircraft carrier at level 15. You can keep her as a seaplane tender (AV) and choose not to remodel her into a light aircraft carrier as AV maintenance cost is low and Chitose A will launch an attack during the opening torpedo phase when equipped with a Kouhyouteki which comes for free with her level 12 remodel.
