ARP Kirishima — Japan · Tier V · Battleship

A Fleet of Fog battleship modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 4th Kongō-class battleship, Kirishima. She was first seen engaging I-401, along with Haruna, at the battle in Yokosuka Bay. She was eventually defeated by I-401 due to her "trump card" backfiring under her rival's tactics. This warship has been modeled after Kirishima as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-."
