:Her second remodel reclassifies her as a ''Torpedo Cruiser'' (CLT), meaning she will not be counted as a light cruiser for combined fleet, map routing, and the like.
 
:In exchange for this, her Torpedo stat goes up and she can now be loaded with midget submarines, allowing her to perform submarine-like preemptive torpedo attacks, meaning she gets to hit the enemy fleet before shelling begins, potentially removing an abyssal ship instantly.
 
:Compared to her sister [[Kitakami]] and [[Ooi]], her Torpedo stat is "only" 110, which still beats any other ship in the game except those two, so she's still a very valuable addition to the fleet, even more so in events where [[Ship Locking]] is an issue.
