+{{#invoke:ShipDropTable|returnShipDrop|{{PAGENAME}}}}
-Priority: '''Low'''
-:At first remodel, she has good Firepower and Torpedo stat for a light cruiser, meaning she can do [[Artillery Spotting]] with decent damage at day and packs a good punch at night, too.
-:Her ASW stat also allow her to perform OASW attacks with proper setup.
-'''Kuma Kai Ni'''
-Priority: '''Low-Medium'''
-:On her second remodel, she has good Firepower and Torpedo stat for a light cruiser, meaning she can do [[Artillery Spotting]] with decent damage at day and packs a good punch at night, too.
-:Her ASW stat also allow her to perform OASW attacks with proper setup.
-:The main perk of this form is the ability to equip Seaplane Fighters which can help reach desired air-power levels. Slot sizes are too small to get any real use out of Seaplane Bombers.
-'''Kuma Kai Ni D'''
-Priority: '''Medium-High'''
-:Her third remodel lowers her torpedo stat and a small amount firepower which takes her back down to average in these areas.
-:She makes up for these stat losses by gaining the ability to equip mini-subs to launch opening torpedo strikes.
-:The ability to equip land craft and tanks also helps her to deal with installation-type enemies.
-:Her ASW stat is slightly increased, allowing her to perform OASW attacks a bit more easily.
-====Recommended Roles====
-* Surface combat
-* ASW
-===Important Info===
-* Required for A58, A74, B52, B85, and B163.

+==Trivia==
-{{#invoke:ShipDropTable|returnShipDrop|Kuma}}
+;General Information
+* She is named after the Kuma River (球磨川, Kuma-gawa), a river in Kumamoto Prefecture, "Kuma" also meaning bear.
+* She was launched on the 14th of July 1919.
+* Torpedoed by HMS Tally-Ho northwest of Penang on the 11th of January 1944.
+* Wreck located in March 2004; she lay on her starboard side at a depth of only 47 meters (155 feet) and was covered in fishing nets and snagged fishing lines. In 2014 the wreck was a victim of illegal salvage and has almost completely disappeared.
-==Trivia==
+;Update History
-*She is named after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuma_River_(Japan) Kuma River].
+* She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.
-*Her Kai Ni D rig appears to be based loosely on the Kaiten carrier form of ''Kitakami'', which would explain the similar uniform. ''Kuma'' Kai Ni D is able to equip Type-A Kouhyouteki to fire an opening torpedo salvo. She can also equip Daihatsu landing craft, but looses the ability to carry aircraft.
+* She got her Kai Ni on the 13th of January 2021.
-*It is possible the "D" in Kai Ni D is a reference to the Type D (Matsu) Destroyers. Such was the case for ''Asashio'' Kai Ni D, who is clearly based off of them. Though this destroyer class did have Type 89 guns and some were converted to Kaiten carriers, their appearance does not match ''Kuma''. Her Kai Ni D form has a different version of the Type 89 gun that looks more akin to what ''Kitakami'' had historically after being converted to a Kaiten carrier. Furthermore, the submarine launch deck as two parallel tracks, like ''Kitakami''. The D-Class kaiten carriers had a single track down the center.
-*Received her Kai Ni on 1/13/2021
-==Historical Info==
+;Misc
-*Laid down on 29 August 1918, launched 14th July '19 and commissioned on 31th August '20.
+She ends most of her sentences with "kuma", as a cute gimmick.
-*Immediately after her working up she was sent to support Japanese forces fighting the Bolshevik Russian forces in Siberia. After a refit in 1934 she supported forces now fighting in China before fulfilling her designed role as the flagship of a submarine force for a year.
-*With Japan's entry into the war she was part of the Philippines covering force, and supported forces for the next few months as the island was slowly captured. She survived attacks from B17s and PT boats unscathed and sank numerous small transports.
-*Following this she carried out transport and patrol runs around the Dutch East Indies and New Guinea before having a refit to improve her AA in Nov '43.
-*She met her end in January of '44 when she was spotted off Penang by ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Tally-Ho HMS Tally-Ho]'' who managed to hit her with two torpedoes causing her to slow and list. Unfortunately for her a deck fire had started and spread to her depth charges, causing a massive explosion which tore the stern off and rapidly sank her. ''[[Uranami]]'' rescued survivors.
-*Her wreck was discovered in 2004 but like other ships sunk in the area her wreck has been mostly destroyed by illegal salvage.
