The girls in Kantai Collection are aircraft carriers.

They're girls, but also they're aircraft carriers. They're not aircraft carriers that can talk: they're actually girls. They're not girls dressed as aircraft carriers: they're actually aircraft carriers. And they're girls. And they're aircraft carriers.

Sexy aircraft carriers.

I don't see many women playing this game.
