ARP Kongō — Japan Premium Tier V Battleship.

A Fleet of Fog battleship modeled after the lead ship of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Kongō-class battleships, Kongō. As the flagship of the First Oriental Fleet, her Mental Model—Kongō—honors the Admiralty Code above all else. She seeks to eliminate the submarine I-401, who chose to deviate from the Code. This warship has been modeled after Kongō as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-.".

Pros

Large HP pool
Long firing range
High top speed

 ===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
