Probably? Considering students already tend to gather in cliques within their year groups in school, avoiding their seniors and juniors, I suppose this is inevitable?
I just drew it from the idea of cuddle piles and shipgirls being weird. Not even using beds and just napping in piles out on the docks, where they would rest in steel. Heck, you really want to play it up, they make rafts, moor them, and nap there in mounds of tired bote. If you want to make it magical, not even rafts, they just nap out on the water and confuse the humans deeply how you can float while sleeping and not have issues.
... which I only listed frigates or corvettes in my reply above. However, if anyone need some canon there are several of them in the games:
It's not a rule, just people copying what a popular quest and fic have done. To be quite frank a massively disrespectful thing to do too, given what the men of those ships/boats have done and had to endure.
That comes from the Kancolle quest from 4chan if I remember correctly.
Even within the same class categories you have ships pairing up:
I mean from a historical perspective, it is one of the first fics that tried to make sense of the world of Kancolle and thus, people latched onto it due to it establishing the floor for Kancolle fics at that time with whatever else that was available. Even though people have moved on from it due to it having glaring flaws, it still has influnce due to it having a role in establishing the early doctrine for Kancolle fics.
Not entirely the quest, I'd say the blame lays more on BB since it's much more accessible and popular than KoC (or whatever the abbreviation was) ever was.
BB has some good stuff, in particular the bits from the shipgirl's perspectives as they are being summoned always worked for me
A person that hangs around the port and the town associated with the port. Knows way too much about the history and what is going on for that port.
Crash Dive has the city of Shanghai get summoned as an installation Kanmusu.
Matsu(which is the same class as Take) also has green hair and green(-ish) uniform. Maybe it'll be standard for that class, since they are all named after plants?
I honestly expected this to be someone asking where I saw pics of Pensacola. It was on danburou, but that one is gone now, all I can find is the pink haired Azure Lane version.
It's either the use of lazy digital coloring or lazy CGI. Like those amateur-ish draw on booru?
