Yeah, she does so in her in-game lines. Although according to TV Tropes (I wouldn't know), "[d]ue to neither her voice actress nor the real life Ryuujou being from the Kansai area however, many fans have come to believe that she's faking it."
(VA is Rina Satou, born in Fukuoka prefecture; real carrier was built at Yokohama/fitted out at Yokosuka)
According to Japanese Wikipedia, CO. Kosaka Kanae (Ryuujou's 7th captain from December 15, 1938 to November 15, 1939) was born at Shiga Prefecture on October 8, 1892.
Though (I think) this information still isn't enough to support why would Ryuujou be using Kansai dialect.

Well since in some fan-artist ideas that they think that some ship-girls gain a certain trait from their former captains. So I think this could be a reason too for Ryuujou why she is speaking in kansai-ben.

True, although you could probably blame less the fan artsts and more the developers(Kadokawa) if it upsets you. Aoba's in game personality is entirely based on 1 random passanger on her ship for example.
