She's the one and only Hardcore Siscon that love Shikkikan and Indi-chan at the same time. While she said she want 10 babies Indi, it's still 10 babies with us as the husband and she got embarrassed after saying that meaning she really love us and want to have babies with us
@@portland4660 Can it even count as love triangle when both sisters love you and willing to share? Indi will be embarrassed a lot but she's in fact love Portland a lot, she just can't handle her sister behavior. Portland ofc will be thrilled, nothing better than having both of her beloved with her on bed
I always remember her because of that ptsd doujin that depicted her as a loving sister that suffers in hallucinations because of Indy has been sunk. It's kinda scary too
It's kinda sad tho She constantly talks about Indie cuz she doesn't want her to be forgotten just like what happened with her irl counterpart where no one even knew she sank till a week later
Yup, that sinking also caused the worst shark attack in history AND had the captain be court martial for the ship being sunk by the enemy (the only captain in WW2 to recieve such a punishment).
She has a firm spot in my "throw-some-ships-at-it" fleet, for when I don't really know what I want to use. Port-kai, London-kai, and Indy-kaiwaii all make a decent enough vanguard that I don't really have to think too much about strategy and just have fun.
Portland in Azur Lane: "Indy-chan KAWAII!" Portland in real life: "Sink you SOB!" *shoots Yuudachi at practically point blank range with her 8-inch guns*
One of my favorite front liners since her retrofit. She is quite a sweet pea. Though my lasting image will always be that panel from Parka's web doujin...
Portland: *points at an empty space* Ahaha...stop joking around Cleve. Indy is right over there, you know? You can see her, right? You can hear her voice, can't you?

Before Baltimore took over as the 1st position vanguard for my Eagle Union fleet i've always used Portland as i always felt she was the US equivalent to Eugen. Add to that that i got Portland very early she carried me through many of the first areas of the game that i played so she'll always retain a special place in mha heart.
Been playing Azur Lane for a year now. One of the first things I saw was the top comment on Portland to retro her so she carries you. And I did just that. My first vanguard ship to reach 120 many months later. I still use her to this day occasionally. Ditched Indy along the way though, that baggage was too heavy to carry along.
Fun Fact: the Portland Class of Heavy Cruisers are Known to Be Modifications of the Northampton Class of Heavy Cruisers, but she is Lightly Armored by Heavy Cruiser Standards, the Only Heavy about her is Her Armaments, this is also the Reason why her Choice of Clothing is... Provocative, same with Indianapolis, her Initial Design and Retrofit is Based off her Design History Her Initial Design which was The Main Reason of her Provocative Clothing, Only Had like 1 inch of Armor, but She Was Up Armored to 3.25 and 5 inches of Armor, this Probably Inspired her Retrofit, and Her Tankiness in the Field, an Overall Stat Increase. Sadly the Fate of Both Ship are Sad Ones... Portland was Scrapped at 1959 Indianapolis was Torpedoed by I-58 After Delivering Component of the Little Boy and Fat Man Atomic Bombs (Hence why she is Sitting on a Atomic Bomb) On a Happier Note.... You Gotta love this Siscon of a Ship Girl... that Also Loves the Admiral/Commander! Now that's Something worth while
Portland was one of the few ships I had a few months ago who could survive long enough (when paired with indianapolis) to see me through high level event stages, Like SP and Hardmode stages. But since I spent time saving and pulling from the Gacha, I have a lot of good shipgirls now.
@@shangri-la-la-la yeah CN servers had to be switched off for a day with app disappearing from store too. When it came back online they announced the removal of 18 ships, all of which got in common that they show a lot of cleavage, from the obtainable pool. Meaning whoever got them there can keep, but those who don't can never get them ever again.
@@nervsouly INB4 new art for some and an assumption that Akagi and Kaga's existence is prompting Imperial Japan who invaded China is the real reason for their removal.
Ah Portland. She's been my Frontline tank for years in my Eagle Union-only fleet and worked well up to W12. My classic formation is: Portland (Retro) - Baltimore - Sandy (Retro) A good balance of AA, Firepower, and Survivability. Portland can tank a lotta damge, while also dealing a decent amount. Personally I use HE. Baltimore is my main AP focused dmg dealer And Sandy is, well does Sandy things. Blows planes out of the sky, and deals consisntent dmg.
Quite miffed that I didn't get Baltimore during the event rerun. So I'm stuck on Sandy, Laffey Retro, and Portland Retro for the Vanguard. Looks like i have to level up Indy and pair her with portland then.
Post refit she is the bar all later tanks must meet or pass to be regarded as good. It's remarkable as it's by the stat boosts alone as she gets new new skill. Mind you that she won't be out damaging the heavy hitters, but she won't be dead weight offensively. I'd argue she's better than Hipper in this regard. The real issue with her sister skill is that Indy is worse than Portland in damage output. Now if she were to get a similar refit like her sister.... well the duo would become quite a thing. Her character story is a good look at other traits of hers, like a good head on her shoulders as she leads a ragtag group (Hiei, Dorshire, Iroha, etc) to victory in an exercise. Though I gotta ask if you plan on redoing certain vids due to the Dec 22nd update buffing a number.
@@Hawk2zer0 If you want, I can make a list that I'll DM you as I know where to get a list (it's something I made for someone) and I'll check with your vid list to see which has been covered or not.
honestly I have her in my current main boss fleet since I need to level her for the training missions and honestly I've just got the thought process of "if I'm already required to use her for the sake of getting her to level 100 I'm going to make use of her" she and Indy do good work, Alwyn, Long Island, Saratoga, and Yorktown are my four other boss fleet members and are designed to make up for Indy and Portland's shortcomings in damage (mostly the carrier trio Alwyn is there to make sure the carriers survive longer)
I tried to run Indy and Portland together once, it was indeed a bad time. Admittedly I never ever leveled her red skill, however it does not change my view that Portland retrofit is probably in the top 20 of Heavy Cruisers in game
Here to pay my respects since CN servers are taking her away. You've been carrying me since day one. Thank you. And even if they don't want you anymore you'll always have a place here.
Maybe we can get a survival game mode, survive as long as possible, and dealing dmg is not the main priority cuz enemy ships will just keep spawning to replace sunk ones. Then I might use Portland more
Well that doesn't matter much anymore, this sweet and beautiful shipfu was banned from the game on Chinese servers and I don't know how long it will apply to us, but you do an excellent job with the videos and your channel, congratulations on your work and if you can you can make a video of Baltimore and Sirius ?.
She's resources friendly, you can easily limit break her with herself because of her blue RARE status, she's easily acquired from a map drop. There's better options like PR ships. But PR ships is hard to get.
Waaaaaaait a minute,I never thought of her not getting a new skill upon retrofit. Honestly at further updates,they should give her one wtf.If she gets a third skill,she might even move up to 1 tier or something....
I do this to account for those looking into whether it's worth putting the resources (chips and gold) to go from 100 to 120. Some characters definitely do need that jump, whereas others may not be as vital This accounts for two groups, those who have built up the chips, but not the gold to invest in it...and those that are newer players looking into starting this portion of AL grinds.
Portland is the best heavy cruser for me, using her since commander lvl 10 and weird thing is that i don't like Roon at all, of all my CA she's the weakest or maybe i'm doing something really wrong with her equip
She's the one and only Hardcore Siscon that love Shikkikan and Indi-chan at the same time. While she said she want 10 babies Indi, it's still 10 babies with us as the husband and she got embarrassed after saying that meaning she really love us and want to have babies with us

A Portland video that isn't Indy, this is a history moment.
Insert that Spongebob meme about writing it down.

She did have defense order as a retro skill before but they updated it so she starts with it to prove her usefulness
Any proof on that? Such a change had to happen EARLY in the game's life.
@@Fishman465 it came a few years into the games life span iirc around a ijn rerun

An event build that doesn't have 15 Portlands in it just feels wrong.
And it opens the flood gates for even more Kents.
If Indianapolis ever gets a retro she should get a skill that let's her use her nuke.

Portland: you wouldn’t throw a lady in there. Would you
Me sick and tired of her obsession: therapy and padded cells are unisex
Portland is the main head of the Church of Indy, she is not cultist leader, but kind of close.

The funniest thing i've encountered when sortied with them

Dunno why I expected the bulin stuff again

She's also a pretty good solo Vanguard because of her flexibility and low oil cost. Just pair her with a healer like Ryuuhou and you're golden.

i guess ill use her to help grind levels for low level ships

btw hawk, love your vids, keep it up man!
I was hoping she was gonna say, "You can have me and my sister."
If oathed. xD, Pitbull's international.
everywhere i go, i hear " Indy chan~~~"
back when I was a total noob i did use portland and indi....makes me wish /hope indi will get a retrofit

ah yes, the true Portland review XD
Thank you Hawk!
you forgot to mention that she'll eat your cubes, regardless of how much you beg her to stop or fight against it
USS Alabama, but in cruiser form.
I was waiting for this since April Fools
Why are you still comparing level 100 stats?
I do this to account for those looking into whether it's worth putting the resources (chips and gold) to go from 100 to 120. Some characters definitely do need that jump, whereas others may not be as vital
This accounts for two groups, those who have built up the chips, but not the gold to invest in it...and those that are newer players looking into starting this portion of AL grinds.

YAY! PORTLAND!

But aside of that Problem. She's decent.
You can´t make a video about Portland without mentioning Indy-chan. Thats why I oathed both of them at the same time :)
