birmingham (azur lane)

Azur Lane's personification of the US Navy light cruiser USS Birmingham (CL-62).
Character design by Pavapo, voiced by Watabe Sayumi.

In-game, she has short hair with long locks, colored red, with matching red eyes. She wears a white cloak like her sister Montpelier, and beneath that is a blue dress with black gloves and thighhighs. She also sports a blue hairband with an anchor hair ornament.

Her rigging is the standard Cleveland-class setup with the 15.2 cm triple mounts on one side and 12.7 cm twin mounts on the other.

History

In real life, she was commissioned in early 1943 but missed out on the battle of Empress Augusta Bay due to airstrike damage just hours before the main night battle.
Later participated in the battle of Leyte Gulf where she, alongside Reno, stood by the stricken carrier Princeton, suffering extensive damage from the explosions that gutted the carrier.
Repaired after two months, she returned to service only for her to suffer another airstrike in Okinawa, which finally put her out of action for the rest of the war. She thereafter participated in repatriation efforts and paid off in 1947.
