|---|---|---|---|---|
| Introduction | 水上機母艦、秋津洲よ！この大艇ちゃんと一緒に覚えてよね！ | I'm Seaplane Tender Akitsushima! Make sure to remember me along with this Taitei-chan, alright! | "Taitei-chan" refers to her flying boat. | |
| Kai | 水上機母艦、秋津洲よ！ 大艇ちゃんのことも、もう覚えてくれた？ | I'm Seaplane Tender Akitsushima! Have you already remembered Taitei-chan and I? | ||
| Library | あたしが水上機母艦、秋津洲よ！ そう、大型飛行艇の運用支援や洋上補給のために建造された、飛行艇母艦。 え、迷彩が厚化粧？ ホントに失礼かも。二式大艇ちゃんはあげないからね！ |
I'm the Seaplane Tender Akitsushima! That's right, I'm a Flying Boat Tender constructed for the sake of assisting Large-sized Flying Boat and refueling at sea, among other things! Eh? Is my "makeup" too heavy? You're rude, maybe! I'm not letting you have Type 2 Taitei-chan, kay! |
Akitsushima's makeup refers to her flashy camouflage. | |
| Secretary 1 | 秋津洲、呼んだかも? | Did you call Akitsushima? | ||
| Secretary 2 | この二式大艇ちゃん？あげないよ。 | This Type 2 Taitei-chan? I'm not letting you have her. | ||
| Kai | この二式大艇ちゃん？ だから、あげないって！ | This Type 2 Taitei-chan? Like I said, I won't let you have her. | ||
| Secretary 3 | こぉらぁ！提督、あまり余計なとこ触らないでほしいかも！ 大艇ちゃん寝れないでしょ！ | Heeey! Admiral, I hope you will not touch places that had nothing to do with you so much, maybe! Taitei-chan can't sleep like this, right! | ||
| Kai | 提督～ あまり変なとこ触らないでほしいかも！ 大艇ちゃんがゆっくり寝れないでしょう？ | Admiral~ I hope you will not touch such strange places so much, maybe! How long will Taitei-chan have to wait to go to sleep? | ||
| Idle | やっぱこの迷彩派手かなぁ？ううん、そんなことないよね、ね、大艇ちゃん、そうよね、そうだよね、大艇ちゃんもそう思うよね。あっ、提督、次のお仕事? | This camouflage is flashy isn't it? Nah, that's not true, don't you agree, Taitei-chan? Don't you think so? Taitei-chan thinks so too, don't you? Ah, Admiral, is it time for our next mission? | ||
| Secretary Married | 提督、なにをぼんやりしてるの？あっ、少し疲れちゃったかな？そういう時は、この秋津洲流肩もみ術を…ふふーん、ね、気持ちいいでしょ？ | Admiral, why are you so lost in thought? Ah, are you tired? Times like these, the Akitsushima-style shoulder massage technique will be... Ufufu, hey, feels good doesn't it? | ||
| Wedding | 提督、私のこと呼んだ?大艇ちゃんならあげないよ。えっ、違う?うっ…これは…わぁ…綺麗…すっごーい…で、なんでくれるの？ | Admiral, you called me here? I'm not giving you Taitei-chan if it's about her. Eh, that's not it? Ugh...this is... wow... it's beautiful... amaaazing... so, why are giving it to me? | ||
| Looking At Scores | 情報見るの？それは大切かも、はい、どうぞ。 | You wanna see the report? That's important, maybe. Here, help yourself. | ||
| Joining A Fleet | 飛行艇母艦、秋津洲、抜錨するかも！じゃなかった、抜錨！ | Flying Boat Tender Akitsushima, setting sail, maybe! Wait that's not it, setting sail! | ||

| Kai | あぁ こんな装備もあるんだ。嬉しいかも。 | Aaa they even have those equipments. I'm happy, maybe. | ||

| ⇧ shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development | ||||

| Docking Major | やられたかもー…私、前線とか苦手かもー。後方支援ならばっちりかも… | They beat me, I think... I'm not meant for the front line, maybe. Logistics might be perfect for me I think.. | ||

| Returning From Sortie | 作戦終了！艦隊が帰投したかもです！ | Operation complete! The fleet has returned I think! | ||
| Starting A Sortie | いまこそ、秋津洲流戦闘航海術、実践のとき、出撃するかも！ | Now's the time, Akitsushima-style combat navigation technique, maybe I'll do it in a real battle! | Akitsushima's art of navigation in battle is somewhat similar to the stunt seen in the "Battleship" movie[1], where the anchor is dropped on one side (starboard side in Akitsushima's case) and the ship is set to go full throttle. This technique would make Akitsushima turn hard to the starboard side and evade the incoming attack. This maneuver was supposedly performed by a ship during a battle in Rabaul. Also see Fubuki 4koma chapter 92 for details. | |
| Battle Start | 敵艦隊、発見したかも！艦隊、戦闘用意！ | Enemy fleet, sighted, I think! All fleet, prepare for battle! | ||
| Air Battle | 厚化粧ですって！？ 失礼かも！ | Do you say I wear heavy makeup? It's so rude! | ||
| Kai | まーだ厚化粧とか言うの！？ほんっと失礼かも！ | You still say my makeup is heavy? It's really rude! | ||
| Attack | 攻撃力、あまりないかもだけど… | Attack power, I might be low on that, I think... | ||
| Kai | 改装したけど…攻撃力、そんなにないかも… | I was renovated but... attack power, I don't have any. | ||
| ⇧ shared with day/night special attacks, support expedition team arrival | ||||
| Night Battle | や、夜戦？あ、あたしが！？も、もうこうなったら行くしかないかも… | N-Night battle!? Me? W-well, I guess I have no choice but to go, I think... | ||
| Night Attack | 厚化粧ですって！？ 失礼かも！ | Do you say I wear heavy makeup? It's so rude! | ||
| Kai | まーだ厚化粧とか言うの！？ほんっと失礼かも！ | You still say my makeup is heavy? It's really rude! | ||
| MVP | ふぇ…えぇっ！あたしが一番なの！？そんなことって、あるかなぁ…えぇっ… | E-Eh! I'm number one!? Is such a thing even possible... Eh... | ||
| Minor Damage 1 | ひゃあーーっ！被弾！？ | Hya! I'm hit!? | ||
| Minor Damage 2 | あたしの迷彩塗装、あんまり役に立ってないかも… | My camouflage pattern might not have been very useful I think... | ||
| Major Damage | やっ…やられたかもー。だから攻撃は得意じゃないっていったのに… | T-...They beat me, I think. That's why I told you offense is not one of my fortes... | ||
| Sunk | あたし沈むのね…大艇ちゃん、バイバイ。きっと未来は… | I see, I'm sinking... Taitei-chan, bye, bye. I'm sure the future will be... | ||

Character[]
Personality[]
- Calls her plane "Nishiki-taitei-chan" (literally: "Type 2 Large Boat-chan") or simply "Taitei-chan" (literally: "Large Boat-chan").
- Sometimes she ends her sentence with the verbal tic "kamo" (かも).
Appearance[]
- Akitsushima has long purplish-grey hair pulled into a side ponytail of to her left with an ahoge, sidelocks, and hair ornament on top. She also has a very long hair ribbon on her right with two dangling anchors (Which seems like it would hurt...). She has purple eyes. She wears a mint green-and-white military uniform with black trim that includes a double-breasted jacket and pleated skirt. She wears thigh highs and a garter on one leg to create a zettai ryouiki effect.
- Akitsushima's earrings bear striking resemblance to the cross-looped antenna of radio direction finders found on the real-life ship. The two antennas can be seen protruding from the superstructure, one directly behind the anti-air fire director and another behind the foremast.
- In her combat gear, she wears a small ship-like device strapped to her side by a clamp-like device attached to her hip. The most prominent features of the mini-ship are a large crane and a double-cannon turret near the back and front of the deck, respectively. She also wears red heel-like boots with a keel.
Notes[]
- Spring 2015 Event E-6 clear reward.
- In-game, Akitsushima is one of only three ships capable of equipping the Type 2 Large-sized Flying Boat
and PBY-5A Catalina, the other being Kamoi Kai Bo and Nisshin A
- Despite being a seaplane tender, she is unable to equip Type A Kouhyouteki minisubs. She can still equip depth charges however.
- Akitsushima is only able to equip all Daihatsu and Special Type 2 Amphibious Tank after remodeling.
- Unlike Mizuho and Chitose class seaplane tenders, Akitsushima can equip Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel after remodeling.
- She gains the ability to equip SONAR after remodeling, making her able to equip a depth charge + SONAR for the set bonus (with a seaplane bomber).
- Despite being a seaplane tender, she is unable to equip Type A Kouhyouteki
- If equipped with a flying boat, Akitsushima will deploy it during the opening air attack phase only if a Zuiun or other seaplane bomber is equipped as well, or if the enemy has a submarine.
- While her card icon and her intro line says that she is a Seaplane Tender, her formation line says that she is a Flying Boat Tender.
Trivia[]
- Akitsushima was given ship repair facilities after Akashi was destroyed, allowing her to act as a repair ship. She served in this capacity for only two months before her sinking.
- Sunk by aircraft between Culion & Busuanga Islands, near Manglet Island at Coron Bay, Palawan, Philippines (11°59′0″N, 120°2′0″E), 24 September 1944. Location also has other non-combat IJN ships nearby, including the food supply ship Irako.
- Her wreck site and her very wreckage is a very popular diving spot, located at a depth of 20 - 36 metres (66 - 118 feet). It was first discovered by US Navy surveyors and became a tourist attraction since then.
- Divers/players wishing to come closer to Akitsushima's real life counterpart will require wreck diver certification, due to the presence of metal hazards from the airstrikes that sunk her.
- She was one of the ships implemented in celebration of KanColle's 2nd Anniversary.[1]
- Her name was first carried by a 1894 protected cruiser sole in her class. It is now carried by a Japan Coast Guard ship.
- Her clothes and gear's coloring is based on the actual ship's peculiarly garish camouflage.
- Her plane "Nishiki-taitei-chan" is actually alive, as if it can express it's emotions and interact with other kanmusume besides Akitsushima. This is surprisingly proven in Fubuki Ganbarimusu! Chapter 135, even though several things in the manga are not canon to the online game.
