The very first ship designed and built as an aircraft carrier to be completed, she has a personal tag named "Mother of all Aircraft Carriers" (全ての空母の母) with art depicting Houshou with various levels of maternal character. Also known as "O-kan" (お艦) for her maternal character, though this tag is also shared with other doting ships, Ikazuchi being one of them.
Sometimes seen as the proprietress of a bar or a restaurant, stemming from one of Chitose's hourly lines.
