* Kai: '''Medium'''
+
{|class="wikitable" style="width:800px; text-align:center; margin:auto; font-weight:bold"
: She has low firepower and small slots for a CVL. Her main strength is her medium range at Kai Ni and the ability to perform OASW. She achieves this at a low remodel level compared to the other escort carriers. She is let down by her small slot size and she will face difficulties performing her intended role when up against enemy airpower. While she can equip ASW equipment to take advantage of synergy, she loses effectiveness as a carrier.

===Fit Bonuses===
: She doesn't gain anything with her Kai Ni remodel that justifies the expense. She can perform adequately in her role at Kai. She does gain the ability to unconditionally attack at night, however this attack uses the normal shelling formula so might as well not exist.
