halford (azur lane)
Azur Lane's personification of the destroyer USS Halford (DD-480), as part of the World of Warships collaboration. While having existed in real life, she is depicted in her original 1943 experimental configuration as an aircraft-carrying destroyer.
She is portrayed with long grey hair done in twintails, and red eyes. Her default outfit consists of a sleeveless two-layer black and white dress, black elbow gloves, white pantyhose, black frilled hairband containing her headphones, and black high heels.
Her rigging consists of her real-life aircraft catapult to her right and her real-life forward 533 mm quintuple torpedo tubes to her left. Her planes are F8F Bearcats armed with Tiny Tim rockets that has floats applied for scouting and attacking purposes, launched from a teddy bear familiar to her back.
In real life, she received an aircraft catapult for a float plane in place of her aft torpedo mount and one of her main guns, allowing the ship to launch a Kingfisher scout observation plane. The catapult turned out not to be operationally suitable for the intended purpose and was ultimately removed from Halford in October 1943. However, in World of Warships, she get her catapult back while having her AA Defenses upgraded and she participated during Leyte Gulf. The Aircraft she carried are Floatplane versions of the F8F Bearcats.
