Ise is a reincarnation of the Berikan Navy Ise-class battleship. Following the arrival of The Armada's Scout Force 30 years earlier, she strayed into hostile territory and attacked by several Flotillas, she was confirmed sunk in the battle, but may have fled to a safer haven. As a battleship, Ise had an extensive arsenal of weapons at her disposal, which consisted of many Particle cannons, multiple missile launchers and the lethal drones at her disposal. Like many Armada Surface Ships, Ise had torpedo tubes. Ise has an impressively-powerful Wave-Force armor, capable of taking no less than twelve direct hits from Corrosive Warhead Torpedoes, before reaching the point of saturation.
Battleship Ise has one Mental Model. She appears as a girl of about 18 years old. She has rather long greyish-white hair arranged into two tails on the sides of her head; her eyes are blue in color. Ise wears an blue hoodie and what seems to be a combination of shoes and black tights. Additionally, she seems to have lost the use of her left eye due to the damage she sustained years earlier. However, this appears to be a deception, as she seems to retain the use of her 'blinded' eye. She appears to be somewhat childish and seems to be someone who doesn't enjoy being forced into something and will whine about the things she doesn't like.

Unless she reveals her abilities, it is practically impossible to distinguish her from a normal Human. Iona appears as a girl in her late pre-teens with long white with blue tint hair, pale skin and green eyes. It is for this reason that she is usually assigned to infiltrate human society in her Mental Model form.
Iona is usually calm and rather quiet; she's helpful towards her comrades and is an avid supporter of Haruna. She doesn't like taking big risks, but often agrees that Haruna's sometimes rather dangerous plans are the best ones. Iona appears to be undertaking various duties like sightseeing and helping the Repair Crew. It doesn't look like she has any definite hobbies, but she likes watching anime.

Description:
Battleship Kirishima used to be the head of the Sokudo Fleet, famed for its Hit and Run tactics. She has one Mental Model. She appears as a girl in her mid teens with orange hair and blue eyes. While she was a part of the First Armada of Fog, Kirishima was seen wearing a school uniform similar to that of West European Schools, with a dark blue shirt, light blue skirt, black leggings, and black shoes. After her defeat during the First Fog War Decades ago, she gained an increased fashion sense and is seen in a variety of clothes. She is also the only Mental Model that significantly alters her hairstyle by herself.
Kirishima first appears to be arrogant and impatient; she gets annoyed when Haruna keeps collecting and categorizing humans' words instead of concentrating on the mission. She also doesn't hold back and attacks with the maximal amount of firepower she is allowed to use.
Currently, when she's seen, she is calmer and harbors a not-so-secret crush on Iona. Because of this, even other Fog ships often call her 'Tsundere Battleship". This new Kirishima appears to be interested in human culture and way of life in general and in the relationships between captains and their ships in particular.

Description:
She is heavily armored from her powerful Wave force armor to protect her from enemy fire. Her reasons for defecting from the fog starts after the Great Battle where the US, still having very much of its navy, were trying to evacuate the people of Hawaii to the mainland. It was in this battle that two Ohio class submarines in the middle of the battle were able to catch her in surprise and launch 2 nuclear missiles at her causing her to go in deep lockdown due to her kelvin field being heavily damaged from the fire.
After the battle she drifted for awhile and discontented from the American fog fleet and was presumed to be sunk in the fog fleet. She then was spotted and towed into San Diego port to be study and try to unlock her secrets. But in the end they were able to get nothing so they put her away in dry dock hangar, until grandchildren from USS Enterprise veterans came to see the ship. Deep within the subconscious of the ship, Enterprise watch as for the first time civilians enter the hangar, it's at this point that she started to change within herself as she saw the emotions from the people ranging from sadness to shock and even happiness. One civilian put his hand on the railing saying "even though she's on the wrong side, grandpa would still would have like to see the grey ghost once more." Thousands of thought were flooding her core due to that her enemy the humans were treating her as if she was an idol. Causing her to rethink the Admiralty Code and do what in the fog minds was unthinkable, forgetting it. With the processing power she had she was able to break all ties with it except the quantum link with the fleet to keep her databases updated with the known vessels in the entire the fog fleet. With that done she then activated, revealing herself to the humans and telling them of her intentions. That she wanted to help the US in order so that humans and the Fog could in the future live in peace with one another. In the end they agreed and the first fog ship in the northern hemisphere was helping them to build a better future. (Please see Index 2, Section 2, for more detail)

Description:
Created as a last ditch effort, Missouri F-1 is the first highly advanced free will AI created by humans as a way to fight the Fog. He was created with the help of the Fog aircraft carrier Enterprise, who defected from the fleet and faked her own death to help the humans in the US. With her information the humans were able to reverse engineer many aspects of her, the main being weapons, engines and long range scanners. Eventually by studying the way mental models work they were even able to make something similar to there cores. After several tries F-1 was made, but for some reason it didn't want to activate. It wasn't until the young son (Jacob Merlin, ) of the creator of F-1 ( Hector Merlin) said that the AI was to "boring", giving Hector the hint that the only way for it work at full power was to give it a will. Praying that it would work they gave it a free will, knowing what it was and who it was created. F-1 finally activated, ready to fight for the humans, not only because of its programming, but because it felt their pain and wanted it to end.
F-1's hull is made from the hull of a human made ship, and is not a true fog ship, using only nanoparticles to control and maintain the hull. However, he is painted with the swept-back pattern of the fog with luminous paint to be able to hide as a fog ship.
