The Imperial Russia/Soviet Union battleship Gangut (Cyrillic: Гангут) in [[Kantai Collection]] and the first native Russian shipgirl in the game. (While [[Verniy (kancolle)|]] is the first shipgirl from the Soviet Fleet, her origin isn't Russian as she was seized as a war trophy by the Soviet Union from Japan after WWII). She is named for the "Battle of Gangut":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gangut in 1714.

Her real life counterpart was launched in 1911 - one year before [[Kongou (kancolle)|]] launched. This made Gangut the oldest ship in the game upon her inclusion, later to be eclipsed by [[conte di cavour (kancolle)|Cavour]]. She was completed in 1915 and served with the Baltic Fleet during [[World War I]], though she saw only limited action. Her crew mutinied with the rest of the Baltic Fleet in the February Revolution of 1917.

Her appearance is somewhat similar to Hibiki (they share the same artist). Gangut has [[long hair|long]] [[grey hair]] and [[red eyes|red]]/[[orange eyes]]. In her basic form she wears a [[white jacket]] with [[belt]] over a [[red shirt]], [[black skirt]] and [[black pantyhose]]. She also wears [[black gloves]], [[black footwear|black]] [[boots]] and a [[peaked cap]] with [b]a white crown and black visor[/b]. In her [[gangut dva (kancolle)|dva]] (Cyrillic: два, meaning "two") form, she wears her [[jacket on shoulders|jacket on her shoulders]], revealing her [[short sleeves|short-sleeved]] red shirt and an [b] all black peaked cap[/b].

A noticeable trait shared with all her forms is a [[scar on cheek|scar under her left eye]] after being struck by a [[he 111|Heinkel He 111]] from Kampfgeschwader 4 (KG 4).

She is voiced by Seto Asami [瀬戸 麻沙美].
