Line 11:
* [[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 trend toward large bra sizes, often in direct proportion to the firepower of their main armament. Ultimately, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa-class Iowa-Class], with their 16" guns, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato-class_battleship Yamato-Class], at a whopping 18" main guns, looked something like [https://web.archive.org/web/20160408024830/http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/sample/sample-0e347373609c3982fe7d0ca720584326.jpg this.] And that's not going into Japan and Nazi Germany's ideas about the ''next'' generation of Battleships, the Design A-150 and H-44 *tee hee!* proposal respectively, which would've had guns with barrels a full ''twenty-inches across'', which [[Stealth Pun|overshoots]] [[Boobs Of Steel]] and heads straight into [[Gag Boobs]] territory.
** 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.
