Ташкент (タシュケント)

Tashkent (Ташкент / Tashkent) is a kanmusu (ship girl) in the game Kantai Collection (KanColle), based on the Soviet Navy's Tashkent-class destroyer. In the game, she is classified as a "Guided Destroyer", known as the "Sky Blue Cruiser" due to her distinctive blue paint scheme and relatively large size for a destroyer. Tashkent has a medium firing range, a rarity among destroyers in the game, and upon remodeling, she is the only destroyer with four equipment slots. Her voice lines and character design incorporate Russian elements, such as “Здравствуйте” (Hello) and “Спасибо” (Thank you), reflecting her Soviet origin. Tashkent has a cheerful and lively personality, enjoys working with her comrades, and possesses a certain pride and confidence. She is obtainable in the game as an event drop, making her highly valued among players. She is not only excellent in combat, but her unique character design also makes her a beloved character in Kantai Collection.
