They do tend to get more elaborate as time goes on, presumably because the game has more money to spend on the artwork.

(That said, for a second I thought you said "Kamikaze", and while the Meiji schoolgirl look is fetching, I wouldn't classify it as "bananas". Kawakaze K2, though, definitely over the top. Auditioning for a starring role in Pirates of the Solomon Sea. :)

Murakumo's by a different artist, one who evidently thought he was designing the personification of a space cruiser. :)

Anyway, I don't mind the uniformity of the Fubuki class so much. They are, after all, based on a mass-produced class of essentially identical ships.
