Line 11:
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]] - Given their leisurely pace, non-destination itineraries, and rather hedonistic onboard facilities, cruise ships are rather plump.
* [[Blood Knight]] - All warships display this trope to one degree or another. After all, they're all built to fight.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality|Blue and Orange Mentality]] - It's important to remember that just because the personifications ''look'' human, and largely ''act'' human, they are ''not'' human, and thus their priorities may and often do diverge from a regular human's from time to time.
* [[Body Horror]] - Avatars often have sympathetic injuries that appear when the ship is damaged, the type of injury depending on where the damage is. Broken legs often correspond to a lost rudder or damaged engines, broken feet for damaged propellers, and breaking a ship's keel will break the avatar's ''back''.
* [[Boobs Of Steel]] - Warships
** Lampshaded be [[Word Of God]]: "Have you seen the way gun nuts talk about their favorite guns? Swap out a few words or phrases and suddenly they're talking about porn stars."
* [[Cool Old Lady]] - When retired, a personification doesn't age, thus subverting this trope for most museum ships - They may be 50, 60, 90 years old or more, but they still don't look a day over thirty or forty. Played straight with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Victory HMS Victory] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Constitution USS Constitution], the oldest commissioned warships in existence and afloat respectively. At over 220 years old, they look like Octogenarians, but can still command the respect of the ships of their respective navies.
* [[The Masquerade]] - Only sailors, shipbuilders, and the people who own the ships know about the personifications.
