Would Azur Lane's Commander be surprised if Libertad appeared as an extraordinary British-derived battleship design?
Short answerNo. The setting already contains naval characters and technology far stranger than a British-derived Chilean paper battleship.
NotesThe panel answers no because Azur Lane already surrounds the Commander with far stranger versions of naval history. Its examples include multiple Queen Elizabeth manifestations, supernatural ship-person lore, and an interdimensional royal train. Within that deliberately extravagant setting, a British-derived Chilean battleship paper design would be comparatively ordinary. The example shows how naval games mix recognizable design ancestry with fictional world-building rather than applying real procurement standards consistently.
