Analysis

Priority: Low

She is just an average destroyer at Kai that doesn't have anything to set her apart from the rest. She gains significant increases to her firepower and torpedo stats that make her a good combat destroyer. However, she loses out to the other good combat destroyers in terms of power. Her high remodel level doesn't help her case either.

Trivia

Sunk in action off Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942.
Her name means "dawn".
The Akatsuki-Class are sometimes considered a subclass of the Fubuki-Class, like the Ayanami-Class, as during the war they were not treated as distinct. They featured improved boilers and torpedo launcher turrets over the Ayanami class.
Although her CG has a 61cm Quad Torpedo Mount, her starting equipment includes a 61cm Triple Torpedo Mount.
She is required for quests A10, A52, B12 and B42.
