Graf Zeppelin is the personification of the lead ship of the Kriegsmarine's Graf Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, as represented in the game Kantai_Collection.

Graf Zeppelin has a confident, militaristic, blunt, and stoic manner of speech. Her official_art style has her looking quite cold and nearly monochrome. She is frequently seen in the company of the other German ships, especially Bismarck_(Kantai_Collection) and Prinz_Eugen_(Kantai_Collection), and occasionally as having a seNpai-kouhai relationship with Akagi_(Kantai_Collection), from whom some of her flight deck design was copied. As her hourlies imply, she's an avid coffee drinker, making coffee up to four times between 10 pm to 7 am.

She has grey_eyes in tsurime style. She has blonde_hair with notable payot and twintails, as well as hair_between_eyes.

She wears a white jacket that is unmistakably tight (impossible_clothes) on her large_breasts and even shows her navel. She also wears a capelet with red trim, a black-and-red necktie bearing a black (iron) cross, a black miniskirt, black_legwear pantyhose, and black gloves.

Her her combat gear (machinery) involves a split-hull design similar to KanColle battleships like Nagato_(Kantai_Collection). Unlike Japanese carriers, she carries no historical weapon representing aircraft launching, instead holding a small deck of two twin-cannon anti-air turrets like a pistol. Her hull also has twin-cannon AA turrets. Her carrier deck is carried on a robotic swing arm from the back of the hull that is attached to her back on a metal girdle.

Historically, she never saw any use, not being completed as the war began, and with Germany never managing to break far enough out into the sea to have any reason they couldn't just send aircraft from much more easily protected and repaired land bases. As such, her construction was essentially canceled while she was at her last stages, and she languished with nothing but a small maintenance team for most of the war. She also never particularly had any seriously produced carrier-based aircraft to complement her, although some variants of existing German land-based aircraft were designed. She was ultimately ordered to be scrapped by the Germans, captured by the Soviets, sunk, re-raised, then either scrapped or sunk hitting a mine while being towed to scrapping.

The historic Graf Zeppelin was also notable for incorporating design flaws the other major powers had already learned to avoid. Graf Zeppelin's anti-shipping armament was 16 single-purpose 15 cm SK C/28 guns in 8 twin-mount casemates, at a time when other countries were arming their carriers with smaller dual-purpose guns to increase their anti-air coverage. These guns were of heavy cruiser size, numbered more than a heavy cruiser would carry for "commerce raiding operations" and would have required the carrier to come into direct surface engagement range to actually use. In game, though, this trait is the reason she's able to attack during night battles, unlike every other carrier in the game.
