↑ She collided with Hatsushimo while in dense fog during the Kiska Withdrawal Operation.
↑ Her launch was delayed by four months due to defects found while building Hatsuharu.
↑ Kiska is a pun between the name of the island and sounding like being asked for a kiss. The miracle she is referring to is the dense fog that rolled in before the operation allowing it to be completed without being attacked by the Allies.
↑ Shared with Supply before Kai.
↑ During her construction, problems found during Hatsuharu's trials and the Tomozuru Incident caused designers to modify her design to improve stability.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ Shared with Secretary Married before Kai.
