......? Base-> Kai -> Kai Ni Kai A/B/D is actually written as A/B/D kai in Japanese, they are a further remodel from Kai, perhaps you can treat them as "Kai 1.5" Kai Ni A/B/D is usually a convertible version of Kai Ni, they are parallel with Kai Ni. Something like Mark 2 or so? I interpret Kai -> Kai A/B/D as a lateral remodel... where the focus of the ship is changed.

In IJN, iirc Type B destroyers are AA-specialists while Type D destroyers are ASW-specialists. The recent remodels for Hamakaze Kai and Isokaze Kai changes them from Type A destroyers to Type B destroyers.. essentially making them AA platforms similar to the Akizukis. Also applicable for Asashio Kai Ni, where the remodel to K2D changes it to a Type D destroyer.
