Jean Bart is a character in the Japanese web browser game "Kantai Collection" (艦隊これくしょん -艦これ-, also known as KanColle). She is the second ship of the French Richelieu-class battleships, known for her unfinished state during World War II and her subsequent reconstruction. In the game, Jean Bart is portrayed as a calm and slightly melancholic young girl who is obsessed with her unfinished state, but shows a firm determination in battle. Her character design retains some historical features, such as the simplified equipment, and special deep-sea mentaiko companions during Christmas events. Jean Bart is generally considered a fast battleship with good fuel efficiency, suitable for combat in various sea areas. Her dialogues and hourly voice lines reflect her slightly melancholic but energetic personality, as well as her delicate feelings towards the Admiral. Her relationship with her sister, Richelieu, is an important element in the game and is often a focal point of discussion among players.
