Lexington is one of the American "Fog" Assault and Suppression vessels (originally, aircraft carriers), and the flagship of her detachment fleet.
Assault and Suppression vessel Lexington
Lexington is the "Fog" reincarnation of the Lexington-class WWII aircraft carrier Lexington. Her color scheme is unknown at the moment. She is supposed to have one sister, Saratoga, but she has not been mentioned or shown yet.
Lexington, originally an aircraft carrier of the "Fleet of Fog", was re-purposed into an assault and suppression vessel following the reveal that the copies of WWII aircraft that "Fleet of Fog" created were no match for fifth-generation jet fighters that humanity possessed at the time of the fleets awakening. Thus, the only armaments she definitely possesses are eight large caliber Photon Cannons on four turrets located along the right side of her deck. It is also almost guaranteed that she has multiple missile launchers, a Super-Graviton Cannon and other weapons, but those are not yet revealed.
Extrapolation from what is known about the other assault and suppression vessel that has appeared in the story so far - Zuikaku - it is likely that "Lady Lex" possesses an incredibly-powerful Wave-Force armor.
Mental Model
Assault and suppression vessel Lexington has one Mental Model that looks like a rather tall and slender woman in her early twenties. Based on the shading in manga, she has light, presumably blonde, hair and relatively-light, presumably blue, eyes. She also appears to have freckles on her face.
"Lady Lex" wears a dark dress with a light trim and a mantle thrown over it. When getting ready to fight against U-2501, she also put on a mortarboard hat of the same color as her dress. As for jewelry, Lexington wears earrings that are shaped like stars with seashells hanging under them; and a large pedant shaped like the "Fleet of Fog" insignia.
Lexington's behaves a lot like a 'genius ditz': she's always surrounded by the mess in the form of multiple books, coffee mugs and various trinkets she studies or works with. Usually, she's not all that motivated, calling U-2501 an unpleasant guest and paying more attention to her books and trinkets than to Zordan Stark when is actually conversing with him.
At the same time, though, she chose to assist Kongou's fleet in fighting against I-401 of her own volition since she believes that they are doing it wrong.
Role
Lexington is heading towards the battle between Kongou's fleet and I-401 in order to assist the former in sinking the latter. She was 'intercepted' by U-2501, and it looks like due to their clashing objectives they will fight each other.
Trivia
- She is the first American Mental Model to appear.
