Stuff
Vanitatum-class dreadnaughts were a class of (x) ships built around 1914-1924. All of the ships were refitted at 19xx to accomodate higher speed, better armament against aircraft and upgraded early detection of aerial targets.
Vanitatum's construction started in 1914 and was comissioned in late 1917. The design of the ship was adapted for faster speeds with a more slender design inspired by various battlecruisers of the same era. The class' purpose is to become the vanguard of the fleet's offense and defense, using their speed and 12 main guns to break enemy formations. Vanitatum received her camouflage in early 1920 and has retained her unique pattern, through several revisions. The crew has grown to call their ship 'Lori' or 'Loriini' due to her camouflage, analogous to birds of the same name.

Afterword
'The ship's camouflage is not added like it's attached, no no no. The camouflage is cut to the hull itself which makes the surface of the sides smooth. '

@CharlesDeGaulle
Thank you very much :))
This ship is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful warships in the game, it is seen that you have spent time making it. I love the camo too, and I like how it's constructed.
With this ship, there is no doubt that you will have a place on the podium of this challenge, even if I note that there are very beautiful elements in this challenge.
That camo is beautiful
Extraordinary 10/10
@typeZERO
Azusa's halo is a pretty beautiful imo, I actually planned to use Kisaki's but I have skill issue doing her's.
I used the vanity quote due to her EX skill animation line.
(Now I'm sad that I forgot to add a Peroro plushie somewhere onboard)
@ShiroNeko
In Kivotos, Each student's Halo is unique... There are no students with Similar Halo. Even Momoi and Midori has Different Halos... (LETS NOT INCLUDE MOB-CHAN).... And I Unintentionally Memorized all of the Student's Halos...
And thats Azusa's Halo right there... :P :P :P :P :P
Though should Vanitas Vanitatum be on Arius Squad? Azusa has already found a meaning in life... They still have not... ESPECIALLY MADOK-- I mean... Especially Misaki...
@typeZERO
Cuteness solves a cold heart
(Im glad someone gets a reference I made lol)
@Karzigg Yeah, it does give off the same vibes as a (partially) refitted super dreadnought/early fast battleship like the BritishR-class or the Japanese Nagato-class with casement guns and range clocks and whatnot... while also sporting seaplane catapults and late interwar gun directors/optics... that somehow featured no fire control radars whatsoever.
No lore? I can give you one:
"Everything is Vanity... Until you put a Peroro Plushie on deck..."
@Samflugzeugpanzer
I am not willing to dive into the lore too much, there's too much to read so I made it vague and easier to understand for the common user. If you meant the dates, I plan to leave it to your own imagination
I think you forgot to put some of the numbers in or are you still making the lore of this ship?
only thing specific is if this is a latter refit or not an also no dreadnought has a upper deck torpedo dreads mainly had under water an plus never had airplane catapults tell much later this feels an looks like a mess but it's really good to me it truly feels as though you threw together two completely separate generations
The absolute C H O N K
