Civil rights for Azur Lane's shipgirls

Would Azur Lane's personified warships have civil rights?

Their sentience provides grounds for rights, while their military power would make denying those rights difficult to enforce.

Sentience and closeness to human personhood provide grounds for recognising the fictional characters' rights. Their human appearance forms part of that reasoning, alongside their ability to decide how they will be treated. Their power supplies a separate practical argument: a self-deploying personification of a battleship or carrier would be difficult to coerce. Mistreatment could lead these military assets to leave, giving an institution a strong incentive to recognise their claims. This is a personhood and military-bargaining argument within Azur Lane's fictional premise, with no claim about the legal status of actual warships.
