Minneapolis features as a character in the *Azur Lane* franchise, specifically within the *Slow Ahead!* anime. She is a Super Rare Eagle Union heavy cruiser embodying the USS Minneapolis (CA-36) of the New Orleans-class. Her design includes white hair, red eyes, and medium armor classification. In the *Slow Ahead!* anime, Minneapolis aids protagonists Javelin, Ayanami, Laffey, and Z23 during a beach barbecue. After Rodney destroys their initial food supplies, Minneapolis helps gather replacement ingredients, encountering one of her own animal traps during the search, highlighting her hunting and trapping interests. Her in-game abilities reference historical resilience, notably her survival in the Battle of Tassafaronga. The skill "Dullahan" activates below 30% health, reducing incoming damage and granting self-healing; its enhanced version "Dullahan+" extends healing to other vanguard ships. "Thrill of the Hunt" temporarily increases firepower and reload speed after sinking an enemy, reflecting aggressive tactics. Minneapolis employs main guns, secondary destroyer guns, and anti-aircraft weapons, with her "All Out Assault" unleashing a barrage after multiple main gun salvos. She remains obtainable via event constructions or the Medal of Honor exchange but was removed from standard heavy construction pools in November 2022.
