| {{Ship/Banner|Suzuya/Kai|small=true}}</br>{{Ship/Banner|Kumano/Kai|small=true}} || They have the same stats as Mogami, but need level 35 for Kai and have a lower aircraft capacity. While not as rare as Mikuma, they're still quite uncommon.

Much more accessible now, and Akagi and Kaga take somewhat of a back seat to the much more useful Kai Ni remodels of the other four.
Much more accessible now, and Akagi and Kaga take somewhat of a back seat to the much more useful Kai Ni remodels of the other four who are ''highly'' recommended not just because of their superior stats, but because they grant access to very powerful and important aircraft.
Due to their abilities and because of the excellent equipment they grant, I recommend getting all four of the following CV to Kai Ni if possible - plus, some Carrier Task Force maps call for up to four CV to be brought.

| {{Ship/Banner|Shoukaku/Kai Ni A|small=true}} || Example
| {{Ship/Banner|Shoukaku/Kai Ni A|small=true}} || If Abukuma is a player's ideal first blueprint remodel, Shoukaku is second. Her Kai Ni has extremely high stats and plane capacity, and her Kai Ni A form turns her into an armoured carrier (CVB) which gains the ability to shell at moderate damage.
Her remodel level is extremely high (80, then 88), but the pain of reaching that high level is lessened by the general ease of leveling carriers over other types of ships.
|-
| {{Ship/Banner|Zuikaku/Kai Ni A|small=true}} || Extremely similar to Shoukaku - she trades away some firepower in return for a slightly more effective aircraft layout.

Both cranes additionally require Prototype Flight Deck Catapults to remodel, which are obtained by clearing a rather large chain of quests. ''(TODO: elaborate on this probably)''
''TODO: look at feasibility of a player completing bm07 at this stage in the game, as it is required for a second catapult which is in turn required for Iwamoto and a second Crane K2.''

| {{Ship/Banner|Hiryuu/Kai Ni|small=true}} || The best CV that doesn't need a blueprint or a Prototype Catapult. Much higher firepower and capacity, compared to her previous form, but somewhat awkwardly distributed aircraft slots. Grants access to the very powerful Tenzan Model 12 (Tomonaga Squadron), potentially the most powerful Torpedo Bomber in the game.

| {{Ship/Banner|Souryuu/Kai Ni|small=true}} || Very similar to Hiryuu Kai Ni, with slightly lower stats and slightly worse aircraft distribution. Grants access to Suisei (Egusa Squadron), the most powerful Dive Bomber in the game.
