Since it's featured so prominently here, does anyone know what seal of the US is on her kimono? It's not the Great Seal. I've been wondering this ever since she was released; it seems to be the same seal on her belt buckle.

Perfect, thanks. The Great Seal and Naval emblem were way off, and I've seen artists just freestyle generic eagle-and-shield seals too, lol. I couldn't find anything on it before, so I'm glad I asked.
Well I do may consider that said girl actually '''lived''' there before moving elsewhere.
In the same manner that Kumano considers herself a native of Kobe despite her namesake river being in the Nara prefercture, which isn't even on the same island as Kobe, Iowa should be considered a native of New York City and not Iowa. Hardly ever do shipgirls talk about their namesake province/mountains/rivers instead of the place their home port was at or their birthplace. Musashi also talks about local food from Sasebo which is in Nagasaki, when the Musashi Province was on a different island.
I thought at first that the reversed color scheme was like Liberion in Strike Witches, but I misremembered; they only reversed the colors of the star and background, not the stripes.

In US Navy tradition, all State-named ships are considered to be natives of that State, regardless of where they are built at. The USS Texas (submarine) wasn't built in Texas, but she is very obviously a Texan and the crew is very, very proud of that fact; likewise, the USS Iowa (Battleship) was considered an Iowan and the crews were very adamant about that.
Actually, by tradition (that is lip serviced and claimed to be upheld, but is questionable), all State-named ships first beating of the Iron happens in their namesake state - so a piece of that state is carried into battle, buried in the very fiber of the ship. So, American ships and their namesakes are very strongly connected, traditionally (traditions which still meant a lot in WW2).
