As Shipgirl's current lifting strength is unknown, I made this thread to upgrade them.
The first argument that I want to bring up is that the Shipgirl possessed power far greater than any warship ever built:
Another thing to note is that, in the world of Azur Lane, military technology is comparable to our own, as several files from the game showcase the existence of guided missiles and the internet which means shipgirls are considered to be superior to the old and modern ships.
All the current shipgirls' profile lifting strength is unknown, which doesn't make sense because they should be able to hold the same amount of weight as a ship can. According to Wikipedia, most ships can displace a certain amount of weight, which usually ranges within Class M (thousand of tons to ten of thousand tons). The highest end, if we're using modern ships, would be the Nimitz-class Aircraft Carrier (100,000 tons).
While there are power level differences between shipgirls, I believe that it wouldn't change their lifting strength much since the general idea being made is that any individual shipgirls can do anything better than normal ships do; heck, they literally stated that multiple fleet carriers combined are basically nothing against one shipgirl. Therefore, I believe we should scale shipgirls to the high-end result.
To sum it up, here is my proposal: Upgrade shipgirls' lifting strength based on how much weight warships or carriers can hold (Class M). The important point is that we decide which end to fit shipgirls' scales at.

The context of these archives describes shipgirls as completely exceeding everything about warships (firepower, speed, agility, stamina, etc.). These clips further solidify the statement by showing how the shipgirls easily destroy the warships and evade their attack.

- Low-end: Ten of thousand tons based on battleships and carriers such as Enterprise, Bismarck, Musashi.
- High-end: Hundred of thousand of tons based on Nimitz-class Aircraft Carrier and ships of similar class.
