It is the picture used by the KanColle staff in their tweet. I don't read moon runes though, but considering the little bit English does say Lady Lex, at least Sara is safe. 
Chrome translated it to read Lexington, specifically, and I'm not kidding, "Lexington is my daughter-in-law. Atto LadyLEX_love"It is the picture used by the KanColle staff in their tweet.

Well, to be honest, I was under the impression that Iowa was well received in Japan, AKA their target market.I don't really think there was anything to worry about to begin with, Iowa was a one-off thing methinks given the backlash and what we got following said backlash.
Speaking of which, I need to start prepping for the event. I may not be a carrier man, but having an extra fast Fleet CV is never a bad thing.
To be fair, trimaran hulls are still crazy. It's just that it's more of a 'crazy fast' sort of crazy.Addendum: trimaran warship hulls are silly, until they're not. In 1941, they're still silly. Wait 70 years. Then, maybe, they're not.
MSSBTM Its been trademarked
That's only when they just girls though. Here their hulls are present.That's where the 'MSSB' comes in. If you keep the Kanmusu in question fed, and they go to the baths regularly, then they stay in fighting shape at all times. Sweet, sciencey magic.
I thought spartan was referencing the fact that Kanmusu break convention, when it comes to naval fighting forces. Quick! Distraction!That's only when they just girls though. Here their hulls are present.

The easiest and most effective thing that can be pushed through are MORE AA mounts.
Plus a few sponsons with more AA. Maybe a little extra armor bolted on is places too I suppose.
like so said:Like the Atlanta class, the Oakland class was designed as an anti-aircraft cruiser, with a main battery of dual-purpose guns, the principal difference between the two classes being that the Oakland-class did not have the Atlanta class's two-beam twin 5 in (127 mm)/38 cal gun turrets. They were removed for the sake of stability and the limited arcs of fire experienced by the wing turrets on the Atlantas.
The Atlantas (or rather their subclasses) already ditched some guns because they weren't working.
Well if the issues were with stability and limited firing arcs, than obviously the best possible solution would be to add more guns to balance out the guns that are causing instability and to add more arcs of fire to eliminate the issue of limited firing arcs.
In fact, if we look at this picture of Atlanta:

we can see that there's a lot of deck space that could be used for guns that's being taken up by unnecessary things like superstructures, or smokestacks, or lifeboats, or the ship's bridge, or AA guns that aren't dual 5"/38 mounts. If we eliminate those unnecessary elements taking up deck space, we can improve the Atlantas and make them even more effective AA ships by adding more 5"/38 mounts.

Or alternatively remove the engines and boilers to get more space for ammunition.
Nah. Shave off armor. Wait. We just made a battlecruiser. Way too much firepower for a light or heavy cruiser, but less armor than a battleship. And, if they're fast, then that's the mantra of battlecruisers right there. 'Speed is armor. Armor is life.'Or alternatively remove the engines and boilers to get more space for ammunition.

...The Atlantas were already cruisers. Based on my limited knowledge, shaving off armor from that wouldn't make a battlecruiser, it'd make something more like a heavily-armed metal raft with burlap sacks of ammunition floating around in the water next to it.
