Ship - RN Roma, Vittorio Veneto class battleship, sunk 1943

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_battleship_Roma_%281940%29

Although thought of (at least on the surface) as a considerably advanced in growth as a mental model, Roma's sense for strategy is probably exceeded by her vanity and sheer appetite for glory. She loves exceeding orders and wreaking havoc among the humans not only in an effective, but a completely beautiful and overbearing manner. She has an extremely high opinion of every aspect of herself and her genius ideas, though she will also grudgingly admit the merit or efforts of others if they work, which is one of her few redeeming social characteristics. Almost uniquely amongst Fog capital ships, she has an understanding of "morale" and how damaging it can produce dividends that cannot be measured conventionally but perhaps does not truly grasp what actually damages it and what will actually make humans angrier. Nevertheless just the demonstration of the existence of her aesthetic sense has proven highly unnerving to human commanders. All Fog warships command respect for their overtechnology, but a robotic weapon with personal quirks commands fear. Some such quirks include ostantateously drinking tea at the pinnacle of her superstructure during air attacks and blasting ominous music from a gigantic weaponised nanomachine organ where the forward funnel was on the historic Roma.

Privately, Roma is a bit of an internet geek, which actually helps her information intake from human society. She actually has fans (and detractors) on the internet as an e-model who have no idea she is a Fog Battleship - she enjoys the attention immensely. She is a fan of shooting games (which she may think are a human training method) but is extremely bad at them. This is because, she claims, she is always rooting for the bosses, who tank a ton of damage while shooting out massive, beautiful patterns of anti-aircraft fire - exactly what the ideal battleship should do. This coincides with her sinking with more AA weapons mounted than any other ship in the Atlantic region and being historically cheesed by a handful of planes with guided bombs. She has an intense derision of aircraft and takes just as much joy downing a mass of them at once in an instant of "sublime, refined, beautiful, love-coloured curtain fire" (while dressed in gothic lolita fashion, sitting at a table at the pinnacle of her conning tower, drinking tea) as she does firing her main cannon (see below).

Her mental model's body is slightly on the petite, less well-endowed side. Although she maintains her proportions, appearance and medium length hair, she changes clothing and hairstyle frequently in what she may or may not believe is an "actual human fashion trend for humanoid superweapons taken directly from the internet" but is actually a series of (admittedly high quality) cosplays of the Magic Girl genre. She especially known for her freakishly good (and uncannily yangire) depiction of Megavoid Luka, the white-costumed arch-rival of Hisonic Miku, which goes well with her all-white paint scheme and the firing of giant space-distorting gravity blasts in general.

Ship - German Battleship Bismarck, Bismarck-class battleship, sunk 1941

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck

Bismarck's Mental Mode is a tall, athletic girl with long, wavy blonde hair, and blue eyes. She has a boisterous personality, energetic and confident. She is also sometimes arrogant, proud of her power and skills. She has a habit of acting 'drunk' when idle for long periods of time, which is strange as she does not imbibe alcohol - this doesn't seem to inhibit her faculties. She tends to pick on Hood a bit, given their history, and treats her like a little sister.
