Aircraft Carrier Princess, (Aircraft Carrier Hime in Japanese) is one of the main Hime-class from Abyssal Fleet in Kantai Collection game.

She is one of the enemy-bosses introduced during the Summer 2014 event, encountered first during the initial map of the MI segment, before being fought again during the penultimate MI map. She also appears at the pre-boss node of the Extra Operation, the counterattack on the fleet girl HQ. She shows up again in the Fall 2014, Winter 2015, Spring 2015 and Summer 2015 events. She later returns as an optional encounter in map 6-1. She is also the "alter-ego" to Aircraft Carrier Demon.

History
Unlike Abyssals Destroyers and Light Cruisers; Aircraft Carrier Princess (and many other humanoids Abyssals), was a human (Ship-girl) in her past. At one point of her history, she was sunk and died. Years later (months or even days), she was reborn as an Abyssal Ship like all Ship-girls who were killed (sunken). The "creature" that is creating and commanding the Abyssal Fleet; the same being who created Aircraft Carrier Princess, is unknown.

Personality
Her personality changes drastically after her defeat in her Demon form. Unlike her Demon form personality that was more "serious" in combat, her personality in Princess form switches to a more brute, arrogant and provocative personality. There is some traces of anger and hatred in her lines, probably refers to the feeling of revenge for her defeat in her Demon form. Her feelings about human and Ships-girls is the same of all Abyssals; irrational hatred to mankind.

Appearance
All Abyssals are characterized by their pale skin, black armor plates, red glowing eyes. Just like all the Abyssal girls, she is not so different in the main characteristics. In her Demon form, she wears a black dress sailor, and has a long white hair with a side-tail. Her Demon and Princess from are not so different in body and facial features.

The only thing that changes in her Princess forms are the garments. In her Princess form, her clothes are completely torn and frayed, leaving her body exposed.
