Azur Lane's personification of the US Navy light aircraft carrier USS Independence (CVL-22).
Character design by Atdan, voiced by Yamazaki Haruka.
Appearance
In-game, she is depicted with long brown hair tied in a low ponytail, with red eyes. She wears a sleeveless grey jacket, black skirt, blue coat, red gloves, tricolor (mostly blue) thighhighs, and red rudder footwear.
She is also shown holding a large bow and a quiver, with her real-life bridge, crane, and spliced flight deck integral with the bow.
History
In real life, she was originally built as the Cleveland-class light cruiser USS Amsterdam (CL-59), she was ordered converted into a light carrier in the first half of 1942 amid the urgency for carriers in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. Commissioned in early January 1943, her first combat stint was a large airstrike on Rabaul in November aided by Saratoga, Essex, Bunker Hill, and her own sister ship Princeton.
Seeing service in Leyte Gulf and Okinawa, she was decommissioned in mid-1946 after being subjected to nuclear tests in Operation Crossroads alongside Saratoga. Highly radioactive, she was finally scuttled in 1951 off California.
