I figure if she was, she'd just have to clear her throat for Borie to instantly start wearing a full dress uniform, the subthieves to stop thieving and the Taffies to behave.

Add in that Connie is by statute the Flagship of the US Navy, she's senior to everybody.

You would not even have to do anything to her, really. She's been rebuilt to fighting trim several times, most recently just a couple of years ago. In fact if you threw a full set of cannons on her and set her to sea, she might be able to seriously kick some ass. If the leveling effect works in her favor. Remember, she was a heavy battlecruiser of her day and age, able to outrun anything she couldn't outgun.

Does not work that way. George Washington is by law always going to to have the highest military rank. Congress would have to promote him posthumously. Again.

Good thing he wasn't a sailor or he might show up as a fairy.

You think getting on the shitlist of anyone with stars is bad? Imagine gaining the undivided attention of the guy with six (or potentially more) of em.
He's giving you that look, from all of his 2½ inches of height.

This is what happens when I try to edit a post on my phone... Fixed.

And remember, Washington outranks everyone. He's not a 6-star. He's basically a 7.
Top regular rank is an O-10: Admiral of the Fleet/General of the Army. That's a 5-star, and only created during wartime. John Pershing was specially granted the rank ( 6-star) of 'General of the Armies'.

To ensure that Washington was not outranked by men who came later, he was granted the unique rank of 'General of the Armies of the United States', a step above even Pershing. "Such grade to have rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present". 7-stars. By US law, no US soldier can ever outrank Washington.
Whereas Lieutenant General George Washington of Virginia commanded our armies throughout and to the successful termination of our Revolutionary War;

Whereas Lieutenant General George Washington presided over the convention that formulated our Constitution; Whereas Lieutenant General George Washington twice served as President of the United States of America; and Whereas it is considered fitting and proper that no officer of the United States Army should outrank Lieutenant General George Washington on the Army list; Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That
(a) for purposes of subsection (b) of this section only, the grade of General of the Armies of the United States is established, such grade to have rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present.
(b) The President is authorized and requested to appoint George Washington posthumously to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States, such appointment to take effect on July 4, 1976.
Approved October 11, 1976.

Connie would still salute him, of course.

Besides pagodas, her bow is also quite big.

While bulbous bow designs were old hat by that time--even US pre-dreadnoughts had them, and they were often known as "Atlantic bows" in ship design at the time--the Yamato class did pioneer the modern projecting bulbous bow. (US pre-dreads retained their ram bows for hydrodynamic reasons even long after ramming ceased to be a realistic tactical option; they actually made what's called a "plow bow" that was sort of similar to a projecting bulbous bow, but it was dropped in favor of a straight bulb around the time that we started building dreadnoughts.) While a straight bulbous bow does reduce drag nicely (through some black magic involving changing the wave pattern on the bow), extending it past the stem is even more effective (through further black magic involving interference patterns between the bulb's wake waves and the stem's wake waves almost completely cancelling each other out that just doesn't make any sense to me from a physics standpoint). Thus, the Yams did provide us with one great legacy in naval architecture that is used on virtually all large ships today.

Been binging on Nasuverse lore lately. If the fact that an older and better known object/person is the stronger they are, then Connie would probably be one of the most powerful shipgirls should she choose to appear. Especially if the leveling effect has any sort of similar functionality...

Going by that logic, HMS Victory, USS Texas, and IJN Mikasa would have some strength behind them, considering that they're all old enough to have souls, and are still afloat. Connie probably has more strength due to being older and still being able to sail under her own power.
