| Introduction | Hi！MeがIowa級戦艦、Iowaよ。Youがこの艦隊のAdmiralなの？いいじゃない！私たちのこともよろしく！ | Hi! I am the Iowa-class battleship, Iowa. You are the Admiral of this fleet? Not bad! Take care of us too! | The use of me in this way probably originated from Bonin English which were once used by many earlier Japanese works to signify someone who came from the West. | |
| Kai | Hi！Iowa級戦艦、Iowaよ。Admiral,調子はどう？ OK? さあ、今日もがんばりましょう！ Go Go! | Hi! I am the Iowa-class battleship, Iowa. Admiral, how are you doing? Ok? Let's do our best today too! | ||
| Library | Hi！Iowa級戦艦Name Ship、Iowaよ。高速戦艦で、この重兵装。Battle Shipの最終形ともいえる完成度。USAが生んだ最後の戦艦級として、この艦隊でも頑張るわ。よろしくね！ | Hi! This is Iowa, name ship of the Iowa-class battleships.

| Secretary 3 | This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill! って、Admiral!? | This is not a drill. I repeat, This is not a drill! Hey, Admiral!? | This is a reference to the famous message sent from Ford Island during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor: "Air raid, Pearl Harbor. This is not a drill." Also, this might be reference to an incident during her trip, in which she brought President Roosevelt to Tehran, then during a training session, destroyer USS William D. Porter accidentally released a torpedo towards Iowa, and one radioman shouted: "Torpedo to starboard. This is not a drill...". Iowa was fast enough to avoid the torpedo. | |
| Idle | これが、ニッポンのfleetかぁ。Ohh あのbattleship, bridgeがunique! 気に入ったわ。Hey! Hey you! | This is Japanese fleet huh... Ohh! That battleship has a unique bridge. I like her. Hey! Hey you! | It seems Iowa talks about one of Fusou-class battleships. | |

| Rainy Season 2016 |
Rainが多いわね、このseason。「ツーユー」って言うの？ あなたのため？ romanticな季節ね。さすが二ッポーンだわ。 | It's raining all day today. It's called "Two-you"? As in, "To You"? What a romantic season. That's Japan for you. | She may be misunderstanding 'つーゆー' （Tsuu yuu) for 'to you'. But, 'あなたのため' would usually be translated as 'for you'. |

Why? なんでみんなchocolateを作っているの？ Valentineだから？ えっ、なんで？ | Why? Why are all of you making chocolate? Because it's Valentines? Eh, but why? | Japanese Valentine's Day differs from the American one as it is the girls who give out chocolate to boys instead of the opposite in many Western countries, explaining Iowa's confusion over the kanmusu making chocolate. The favor is returned on White Day, one month later. |
| White Day 2017 |

Character
Appearance
- Iowa has long blonde hair and blue eyes with star-shaped pupils (as the typical American stereotype). She wears an outfit reminiscent of women featured on World War II American Navy pin-up posters and a pair of American flag-patterned leggings. The coloration of her costume also closely resembles the paint scheme of the real Iowa's deck.
- The design on the belt buckle of Iowa's normal art, and on the obi (sash) of her New Year's art, is the insignia for US Navy Officers signifying that a person is a senior or flag officer. The insignia is typically worn as a gold emblem in front of an officer's cap.
Personality
- Iowa is portrayed as a playful American girl who uses a bilingual pattern of speech, similar to Kongou, albeit with much heavier inclusion of English words and expressions. The bilingual pattern of speech is seen by Japanese community as resembling the Lou language used by Lou Oshiba.
- Takes great pride in being an American battleship and is not at all shy about demonstrating her firepower, as evident in her quotes.
- She's shown being good natured towards other Japanese ships with a friendly rivalry with Yamato, though she appears to be unaware that "Hotel" isn't a flattering nickname for the latter.
Notes
- Spring 2016 Event E-7 Clear Reward.
- Iowa is obtainable in the PlayStation Vita game KanColle Kai by clearing the game on "乙" (Otsu/Hard) difficulty or higher (note the game's difficulty system is translated differently in Vita game compare to the browser).
- When she was first introduced in the browser game, her maximum stat (along with Kamikaze's) in her pre-Kai form may increase beyond her predetermined stat cap if she had been modernized beforehand. The extra maximum stats has been removed on 13th May 2016 in-event maintenance.
- Winter 2018 Event/E-7 Drop Node X.
Trivia
- Named after the US state.
- Iowa is the first US Navy ship introduced in Kantai Collection, initially appearing in the PS Vita game KanColle Kai before the PC version. She was introduced in the original PC browser game in the Spring 2016 Event as a reward for clearing E-7, the final map of that event.
- Her introduction was preceded by the appearance of the 16inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.7 in the December 2015 Ranking Rewards.
- Laid down on the 27th of June, 1940 at New York Naval Yard in Brooklyn, New York.
- Launched on August 27th, 1942, to much fanfare and publicity, as shown in newsreels. This in sharp contrast to Yamato, whose launch was conducted in much secrecy.
- Commissioned on February 22, 1943.
- Compared to other ships who were either sunk, scuttled, shipwrecked, or sold for scrap, Iowa is the game's first personification of a currently intact and floating ship. Her historical counterpart was dismissed from active service in 1990 and is currently docked in the Port of Los Angeles as a museum ship. The other one is fellow compatriot ship Intrepid.
- On August 27, 1943 USS Iowa (BB-61) got underway for Argentia, Newfoundland, to counter the threat of the German battleship Tirpitz, but was returned to the United States for maintenance on October 25.
- During Operation Hailstone on February 19th, 1944, USS Iowa (BB-61) along with her sister ship USS New Jersey (BB-62) fired upon and sank the Japanese training cruiser Katori.
- In some fan materials, this manifests as Katori being fearful or vengeful towards her, though attempts at vengeance end up failing, often with humorous results.
- Following World War II, she was decommissioned in early 1949, then recommissioned in 1951 for Korean War service. She was again decommissioned in 1958, before once again being recommissioned as part of Ronald Regan's "500 Ship" plan, then decommissioned for the final time in 1990. After languishing for years as part of the mothball fleet in Suisun Bay near Fairfield, California, she became a museum ship in San Pedro, California in 2012.
- She earned the nicknames "The Big Stick" and "The Grey Ghost", due to her reputation in destroying North Korean gun positions off the Korean coast.
