I participated in nearly all the naval battles in the latter half of the war; including the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Battle of Leyte Gulf and Operation Ten-Go.^[1] That's right, I showed off my struggle to the very end. I wonder what became of Yamato after my memory ends. ^[2] Oh well, this time I'll protect everyone.

↑ Marinara (マリアナ) refers to the Battle of the Philippine Sea, Leyte (レイテ) to the Battle of Leyte Gulf and Bounomisaki (坊丿岬) to Operation Ten-Go.
↑ She was sunk shortly before Yamato during Ten-Go.
↑ She's talking about the Admiral poking her.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ During the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Yahagi led DesRon2 in evasive manoeuvres that took them away from the US fleet and caused their torpedo spread to miss.
↑ It took 7 torpedoes and 12 bombs to sink Yahagi.

Trivia

She is named after the Yahagi River
Rare drop from Fall 2013 Event E-5 Boss.
Niconico Douga Video of Yahagi Voiceover
Takekuni Ikeda, currently 90, is a war veteran who once served as a crew of the Yahagi in WWII. After being presented with the picture of Yahagi's KanColle counterpart, he gave a comment that she is cute and looks like a good girl.
Sunk 7 April 1945 by USN aircraft south of Kyūshū at 30°47′N 128°08′E as part of operation Ten-Go.
She shares a captain (Tameichi Hara) with both Amatsukaze and Shigure. Captain Hara was the only IJN Destroyer Captain from the start of the war to survive to the very end, and Yahagi was Captain Hara's last command of the war.
