ARP Hiei — Japan Premium Tier V Battleship.

A Fleet of Fog battleship modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 2nd Kongō-class battleship, Hiei. Equipped with the Mirroring System bestowed by Musashi, she became the new flagship of the First Oriental Fleet after Kongō's departure. Repurposing the Fleet as the Student Council of the Fog, she maintains strict order within the Fleet of Fog as the Student Council President. This warship has been modeled after Hiei as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA- DC.".

 ===Pros===
-* High mobility: 30.0 knots top speed. Her rudder shift time and turning radius are both below-average for her tier, but this is easily compensated for
+* Large HP pool
-* Accurate and long-ranged heavy guns: large guns for her tier, firing slightly improved shells over [[Myōgi]] with high range and good sigma
+* Long firing range
-* Comfortable overall ergonomics: Combine her high speed, distributed armour and well-arranged guns – Kongo can stay in range even in Tier VII matches
+* High top speed
+* Clone of [[Kongō]] with premium ship benefits
 ===Cons===
-* Relatively thin armour: Her main belt of only 203mm thickness renders her vulnerable to large-calibre enemy AP, despite her distributed armour scheme
+* High detectability
-* Limited damage output: Only 8 guns with an average reload. Place your shots wisely
+* Low damage per salvo
-* Poor concealment: Her default detectability by sea is 15.7km. You are again not hiding your vessel’s pagoda mast
