Analysis

Priority:

• Kai/Kai Ni: High

She and her sisters are the only fast battleships obtainable through normal construction. Until you get the LSC and event fast battleships, you will be depending heavily on the Kongou-class when you need battleships for maps with speed restrictions.

Her Kai has low firepower and defensive stats but she is still usable.

Her Kai Ni improves her firepower and defensive stats. When taking into account her rarity, remodel level and remodel cost; she is a necessary fast battleship for every admiral. However, do note that her AACI has a low fixed shootdown and weak multiplier. It also has a high API number which means it will override nearly all other AACI in the fleet.

• Kai Ni C: Low

She gains a bit of HP and a significant torpedo stat. She also loses a bit of armour. The torpedo stat puts her on par with the Yamato-class during night battles but due to being unable to equip 51cm guns, she falls slightly short. Her ability to carry seaplane bombers doesn't amount to much because of her small slot sizes. They are liable to get emptied. The steep cost of this remodel is another strike against it.

Trivia

• She is named after Mount Kongou which translates to "indestructible"
• The radar wings that she and her sisters wear share a similar coloration and design to the alternative name for "金剛" which also means "vajra", but may be more accurately "ghanta" (bells). See this page (scroll to 12th Century) and compare to the CG artwork.
• She was the last IJN capital ship to be built by a foreign country.
  • Her affinity for tea is based on her British heritage.
• She was the only Japanese battleship sunk by submarine in the Second World War, and the last battleship sunk by submarine in history.
• She received her Kai Ni on November 1, 2013.
• She is still an existing JDS name as of present, along with Kirishima.

Appearances in derivative works

• Kongou appears in the anime adaptation of Kantai Collection, and was also featured in the adaptation's first trailer. She played a big role in it, as she appears to be the only member of the Fifth Mobile Fleet Fubuki can get along with.
• Kongou appears as one of the main characters in side:Kongou.
• Kongou - along with other ships voiced by Nao Touyama - was featured in the first KanColle Drama CD, titled "Hiei's Curry" (比叡、カレーを作る). Due to one seiyuu doing all the voices, the CD's short story is also referred to as "One Nao Show". A translated version of the short story can be found here.
