Gambier Bay

Gambier Bay is a character in the game "Kantai Collection" (KanColle), based on the USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73), a Casablanca-class escort carrier of the US Navy during World War II. In the game, she is portrayed as timid and lacking in confidence, but also demonstrates a determination to overcome her fears. She initially joins the game as a light aircraft carrier and is later remodeled into a "Remodeled Special Carrier." Gambier Bay has several stages of artwork in the game, including unmodified, modified, and Mk.II forms, as well as various seasonal limited edition artwork such as Spring Flower Bouquet mode, Shaved Ice mode, and Saury mode. She has an introverted personality, a catchphrase of "I am not good", and often uses English phrases, which is why she is loved by players. In battle, she has characteristics of low speed and short firing range, but she can be strengthened through equipment. Her remodeling requires a lot of resources, but it also brings an increase in stats and new equipment. Furthermore, she has pre-emptive anti-submarine capabilities, which makes her useful in anti-submarine warfare. In the game, her voice lines are full of anxiety and fear, but she also shows a certain amount of courage and determination in battle. As a character in "Kantai Collection," Gambier Bay represents an escort carrier sacrificed in the Battle of Leyte Gulf during World War II, and has a certain historical significance.
