: She has a good torpedo stat that allows her to take out lighter ships with her opening torpedo. She also has respectable firepower for a seaplane tender that makes her a decent surface combatant. Her slots are also large enough that she can use seaplane bombers to deal with light targets. Being able to carry seaplane fighters means she can provide air supports in maps where carriers are restricted. However, she is slow which means she will be affected by speed restrictions.
