ウィリアム・D・ポーター(アズールレーン) ウィリアム・D・ポーター Willy_Dee_(azur_lane)

Azur Lane's personification of the Fletcher-class destroyer USS William D. Porter.

Though she has been with Azur Lane since the game started, albeit only as a loading bar graphic as well as being in the background in an early artwork with the other Fletchers, she made her playable debut in December 2025 alongside an extensive redesign.

The real William D. Porter was known as "unluckiest ship of World War II". Her bad luck streak began when, during an exercise, Willie Dee accidentally launched a live torpedo at the USS Iowa, which Iowa only barely avoided. During the final days of the war, a Japanese kamikaze barely missed hitting the Willie Dee, hitting the water before colliding with the ship. The momentum of the kamikaze plane, carrying a torpedo, sent the submerged plane directly underneath the Willie Dee, where the torpedo exploded, bifurcating her and sending her under.
