She's not happy when a lot of people take her clothes. This happened a long time ago when Iowa first came to the naval base.
Either way, she hasn't taken it since, but she still has the images. Hell, she wouldn't be surprised if Claudia found a replica and put it on herself.
Its better that she shows her a picture instead.
This is Iowa wearing one of her comrades clothing. Her name is Shimakze and she's much, much, much smaller than Iowa.
. . .Iowa isn't the "tamer" one. More mild than anything else. She should be careful, theres a specific one that a lot of people dress up as whether they know it or not.
"Ow!"
Her brows furrow in annoyance with the brunette. She didn't habe to twist her ear like this to prove a point.
"So, what if I go with you. Not much is gonna change anyways!"
Eye candy is definitely one way to put it. There are other ships with. . .more revealing clothes than the blonde.
Most of them dress modestly, she can assure Claudia that!
"Agh! Hey, let go!"
Iowa being dragged by the ear by the brunette was rather painful. She has an insane pinching strength.
Well, two can play that game. She reaches over to pinch the ship's ear.

Geez, talk about a temper tantrum. Iowa reaches over the table to grab a couple of tissue paper to help her nose.
"I'm more than certain someone like Musashi and Yamato have done it before. They just hid it better than me."
"YOU IDIOT!
It does say us ships are forbidden to do as well! You are the biggest buffoon I have ever seen!"
Kicking a hard bucket against a wall causing it to flatten on impact.
She was absolutely caught off guard from that sudden headbutt. She took a few steps back as her hand covered her nose.
"Owwww! You didn't have to do that, you know!"
She would start bleeding, of course so she began pinching her nose.
"Admirals and ships aren't supposed to,—
???
So- let her get this straight. The names are from actual ships.
When it gets destroyed, the 'soul' from it is then used to make ship girls.
