Very small ships. They're ASW specialists - but they're slow, fragile, and horrible at surface combat. I recommend grabbing '''both''' and using them to help you level in 1-5.
These two are statistically the same, and only differ when it comes to where they are obtained.

As you gain access to more equipment, maps, and events, CAV in their usage begin to branch out from CA. While their stats are typically lower on average, they gain access to equipment that CA don't - anti-installation rockets, Seaplane Bombers and Seaplane Fighters.

All CAV start out as CA and must be remodeled to Kai (Mogami-class) before they become CAV. I recommend trying to get '''two'''.

| {{Ship/Banner|Mogami/Kai|small=true}} || Mogami is the best of the Mogami-class Kai CAV - she's extremely available, has a very low remodel level of 10, and the highest plane capacity. There is little reason to not use her as one of your CAV.
| {{Ship/Banner|Mogami/Kai Ni Toku|small=true}} || Unsurpassed lord of CA(V). Unrivaled all-around stats, unparalleled flexibility. The only CA(V) able to use minisubs (and thus, launch pre-emptive torpedoes, the only CA(V) able to equip landing crafts, and the only CA(V) able to equip tanks. She does basically everything, and she does it '''very''' well. She only gets better as you get access to more powerful equipment, as she has many and varied equipment bonuses granting additional firepower.
Her only scant downsides are a lower aircraft capacity, an astronomical level requirement (90) and the requirement of a Blueprint and Action Report for her Kai Ni remodel - but you'll get far, far more back from her than you put in.

'''WARNING:''' Both cranes additionally require Prototype Flight Deck Catapults to remodel. They are obtained by clearing a lengthy chain of quests. The most difficult of these is [[Quests#Bm7|Quest Bm7]], which needs 4 highly leveled Destroyers and effective gear. As such, I recommend focusing on leveling Souryuu & Hiryuu to Kai Ni '''first''' and leaving Shoukaku and Zuikaku at Kai until you're finished with the Dragons.

All four should be leveled, as events sometimes need you to run 4 FBB at one time.
| {{Ship/Banner|Nagato/Kai Ni|small=true}} || Enormously powerful at Kai Ni due to her special ability to activate the Nagato-class Full Broadside special attack (often called "Nagato Touch"), granting the player the ability to punch through very powerful enemy boss fleets in maps where Slow Battleships are allowed. She also has the niche ability to equip all landing crafts and tanks.
As an extreme downside, she both requires a Blueprint and a '''very''' high level (88). Despite the requirement I highly recommend leveling her to Kai Ni and making her your second or third Blueprint. She's instrumental for many event maps and quests.

Not much has changed since before, but it's good to have them leveled up to Kai by this point.
