Oh yeah, got distracted by the "naval gunfire" part and forgot to follow this up.

As a ship, that would work fine, but a KanColle-style fleet girl would have scale problems serving as a platform for air witches. The mechanism by which the carriers in KanColle are shown to be doing their thing doesn't lend itself to the OWaW setting very well, and doubly so if you replace the tiny fairy-operated airplanes with normal-size girls. That's why I had the "carriers probably won't work for Reasons" caveat on there. Otherwise it would've been the simplest casting choice in the world: Kaga! Done. :)
