Taihou Kai
Armored deck (Kevlar)
I tried rearming Taihou, who looks especially suited for cannons, even more so than other fleet girls.
Her trusty weapon is IJN's Type 97 automatic cannon. It's 20 mm apparently. Totally deadly; turns people into minced meat.
The writings on the deck makes it sound like a ballistic plate. Dunno if I got the right words though. (TL note: it's actually "Strike Face")
"Mod 05" comes from the 5th Naval Armaments Supplement Program.
