'''Jintsuu 神通'''
'''Jintsuu 神通''' - Level 60
Jintsuu has no tricks, she's just really good at hitting targets really hard. Possessing an FP/TP combination of 71/98 makes her the strongest day attacker
'''Abukuma Kai Ni 阿武隈 - Lander/Tank Capable, Minisub Capable''' - Level 75, '''Blueprint'''

[[File:NewGuide_ABKM_Demo.png|thumb|right|Equipment-wise, 2 guns and a minisub is generally better against lighter opposition (effectively giving her two lighter attacks against different targets), while a full torpedo loadout is superior against heavy opposition, even capable of crippling Flag-Ru]]

Abukuma is the most important ship in the game to understand, by designation, Abukuma is a CL, however, in practice, she is a CLT. This is because she possesses the unique ability to equip the Kou-Hyouteki, better known as the midget submarine, allowing her to perform opening torpedo attacks. This ability alone makes her probably ''the'' single strongest CL in the game.

Her pure stats belie her amazing power, her FP/TP is just 56/94 (Jintsuu being 71/98), but firing a torpedo with a power of at least 111 (94+5+12) early means that she gains an attack phase. Her torpedo serves as her main damage in the day, while having the added benefit of preventing an enemy from shelling, while her short range prevents her from clashing with any ships with strong shelling power (e.g. Heavy Cruisers).
