When I needed a heavy cruiser to put in the escort fleet for E-4, I realised I ran out of high-level CAs - Maya, Myoukou, and Tone were locked to E-3, while Mogami and Mikuma were reserved for use in E-5 because of branching rules. So I had to use the next best thing, and it was Takao, who was only level 37 at the moment. I was worried because of her low level and the fact that she's usually considered to be one of the weaker CAs (or so I've heard), but in fact, she always hit the boss really hard in night battle, and she was also the one who ultimately sunk the boss.

Thank you, Takao. Even though you're not one of my favourite ship girls, your great performance made me appreciate you more.
