What does "lumbering" mean? English is not my main language, and I've never seen that word before, I already look it up, but I think google translate is not giving me the meaning I need for this. I wanna get the joke.

Moving slowly, with connotations of heaviness and clumsiness.

Thank you! So, I don't know about the game, never played it, is she slow on stats or something? Not that I expect her to be fast at all with that dress.

Her namesake ship (the HMS Formidable, pennant number 67) was involved in an incident where her wooden supports broke during her launching (first placed into water) ceremony, causing debris to fly everywhere and the death of one spectator. The ship was well known for it and was also given the epithet "The Ship That Launched Herself" because of the incident.
Azur Lane took that and turned it into a running joke where Formidable is sensitive about her weight.

Thank for the history lesson! Love when they adapt real events and such in a story/lore in a comical way, I know nothing about ships, but for these who are into it, must be fun to see the creators adaptations/interpretations of them.
I suppose Formidable's weight concentrates in her pretty missiles! 😅

So she's not THAT heavy but they took it as a joke of someone clumsy, slow and with self awareness about one's weight and actions related to speed?
Oh my... were you aware of it, Commander?
Who did you call "lumbering"?
You made quite a display back there, didn't you?Fighting Carabineer during "Empyreal Tragicomedy"But you don't need to worry about itWha-
Yes!
Because as long as there's no speed requirement for the main fleet...
...you can be as lumbering as you want!
At that moment, I felt like Formidable's affinity dropped considerably.
