Gameplay Notes
Special Mechanics
- Able to perform OASW at 100 ASW.
Overview
Kai
- Average firepower, torpedo, ASW, HP and armour.
Fit Bonuses
Analysis
Priority: Low
- At first remodel, she has low firepower and a decent torpedo stat, making her hitting harder in night battle than at day, but not great at either.
- While not impressive in combat, do keep in mind than many maps require you to bring at least a few destroyers for routing.
- Furthermore, destroyers are cheap to deploy and can equip Drum Canister, making them suited for expeditions.
- No further remodels have been implemented for her yet (as of January 2020).
Important Information
- Required for A30, B38, and B123.

Trivia
- Akebono means daybreak.
- The flower on her head is the wild spring chrysanthemum, 都忘れ or Miyakowasure, which in flower language means 'The sadness of parting,' 'A short moratorium,' & 'Until the day we meet again'.
- To begin with, Akebono doesn't really stand out favorably in history. Unlike her sister Ushio, Akebono is taken as the 'ship of misfortune,' while Ushio is the 'ship of fortune.'
| The details |
|---|
| 1. Battle of the Coral Seas Akebono was assigned to escort Zuikaku while Ushio was assigned to Shoukaku. In the middle of the mission, Ushio requested to switch with Akebono & Akebono agreed. However, American bombers heavily damaged Shoukaku yet Zuikaku got away without a single scratch. As a result, Ushio & Zuikaku were considered the lucky ships from this point on while Akebono & Shoukaku received the opposite. Similarly, rather than reprimanding Ushio, Akebono was reprimanded for Shoukaku's injuries. Akebono was then reassigned from the front lines to the rear. This is reflected in Secretary(3) If you don't like me, why don't you just reassign me?.
This is reflected in her Library Intro, ....But, I'm a bit uneasy around subs...., as she not only lost her sister to them, but failed as an escort.
Naturally, Akebono was heavily damaged as well & Ushio towed her into the dock for repairs. However a week later, the American launched another air strike. Akebono's cannons, engines, & torpedoes were all but destroyed. She sank while being observed by Ushio nearby.

- Sunk by air raid on November 14th, 1944 at Manila Bay, Philippines (14°35′N 120°55′E).
- She is required for quest A30.
