Character Information

Personality and Traits

As a result of the above, Recruit is determined to prove herself as per her story's text: "Recruit is a true battleship, and she's out to prove it!"

Her personality is listed as "Charming, Charismatic, Jealous"

• Wood can be seen on the single barbette (viewer's right), referencing Recruit's status as a wooden ship.
• Recruit is one of a handful of Belles rendered in Live2D.

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.
