Tombstone quotes
| Heroic | Pensacola, the woman, kept swimming as her steel body sank, just to see her team win one last time. |
| Tragic | Pensacola kept shooting at her enemies until the water took her. Her guns still echo over the waves. |
Character Trivia
- The community often nicknames her "Pepsi-Cola" as her name sounds similar. It may even carry over from World of Warships in which the ship is known to have "Pepsi-Cola" (that is, soda-can-like, nonexistent) armor plating.
