Analysis

Priority: Medium

She has decent firepower but is let down somewhat by her slot distribution. Her slots being nearly evenly distributed makes her good for launching airstrikes since it spreads the damage around. Her large slot being on top reduces the chances of her losing out on plane proficiency bonuses. Additionally, her two medium slots being on the large side in their own right means she is less at risk of losing the ability to artillery spot. Her ability to shell at moderate damage is another bonus. However, she is only available from LSC which makes her expensive to obtain.

Trivia

Her name means "Great Phoenix"
Sunk by a single torpedo by USS Albacore during Battle of the Philippine Sea, June 19, 1944
Her being sunk six hours after a single torpedo hit is considered really unlucky, all due to an inexperienced crew, serious design flaws, and poor damage control.
Has the lowest luck stat in the game.
