| BelleImageOverride=
- Lots of voiced Belles' actresses aren't credited publicly yet (September 2021), that's fine, leave empty (will default to Unknown).  Unvoiced Belles should have a VA of None.
| ChibiImageOverride=
- Use only high-quality images.  See this tutorial: https://victorybelles.fandom.com/wiki/How_to_Create_Belle_Article_Images
| Availability=to every player regardless of nation and joins the player's fleet at the game's start.
- There should only be one image of the Belle on the main page.  If she has many skins available, that belongs on a different page.
| PersonalityDetails=Recruit is determined to prove herself as per her story's text: "Recruit is a true battleship, and she's out to prove it!" despite having, quite literally, ''wooden guns.''  She also acts like a New Yorker and references the city a lot as a nod to the real life ''Recruit''<nowiki/>'s location. She also seems to be very confident and often taunts the Morganas in battle.
- You don't have to create the detail page, but the template will give you a handy link to a pre-filled version of the detail page.
| BelleTrivia=* Unlike other Belles who are associated with actual warships, ''Recruit'''s namesake is a wooden replica of a dreadnought battleship that existed in New York City's Union Square as a recruiting tool from 1917-1920.
- If and only if a ship is sunk, then another is given the same name within the span of World War 2, then use hull designators.  Example: Wasp (CV-7, 1936-1942) and Wasp (CV-18, 1943-1972).

<!-- Part I -->== History ==
USS ''Recruit'' was a wooden replica of a dreadnought battleship that existed in New York City's Union Square as a recruiting tool for the US Navy from 1917-1920. The ship also served as an aid for civilians to learn how a warship functions and was equipped with everything from a examination room aft, full officer's quarters, a heating system, accommodations for the crew, a full suite of wooden replicas of cannons from tiny 1-pdrs to 36 cm main guns, and even iconic lattice masts that were being used by several US Navy ships of the time for their better shock absorption and resistance to shelling. The ''Recruit'' also held several social events such a patriotic unfurling of a replica Betsy Ross flag and dance parties. In the end it was reported by the ''New York Times'' that USS ''Recruit'' had recruited some 25,000 men into the navy, enough to fill 28 ''Nevada''-class battleships! After a few years she was dismantled from her original site at Union Square and was intended to be placed at Coney Island but the plans never materialized and it was never reassembled.
