;Hidden Fit Bonuses
* Has some hidden fit bonuses when equipped with certain equipment. Please see [[Hidden Fit Bonuses]] for more details.
===Analysis===
===Important Information===
* Required for quest:
: She has above average firepower but is let down by her low torpedo stat. She does have excellent ASW and a great AACI with high fixed shootdown and good multipliers. She is also able to perform OASW by default at Kai. Along with her high luck, it makes her an excellent "swiss army knife" ship that can fill any role in a pinch. Do note that her AACI requires two [[5inch Naval Gun Mk.30 Kai + GFCS Mk.37]] to bring out her full potential. She does lose out in raw stats to more specialised destroyers but she will serve you well whenever you need a multi-role ship.
