We have a lot of speculation about what Re truly is. I mean, the devs wouldn't add something totally out of historical context in this game. Look at her, what kind of chimera like abomination would have the fire power of a battleship, capable of deploying planes and looks (and is somewhat patterned) after a destroyer in terms of appearance.

She is a chimera of some sorts. A chimera is an amalgamation of several beasts. Wouldn't that also mean that she might not be a singular ship at all, not even two or three but an entire fleet?

I mean, there was a destroyer in a certain fleet in the USN that was known to have fought as hard as a battleship.

That fleet also had baby flat tops, that though they are a small, had a complement of planes that helped in that well known engagement.

That fleet also had a destroyer that fought with such dogged determination that it convivnced the IJN they might be fighting a larger fleet.

Lastly, and somewhat in a strange ironic twist. when that ship was going down, it was supposedly given a salute by the captain of a nearby destroyer... I mean, Re seems to be giving back that same salute, however, as if mocking those who are about to face her.

It's all speculation. We'll never know what the devs were thinking when they made her.

But somewhat, I find it satisfying, Something that frightened and drove away an IJN Battlefleet, that included the Yamato, might still be here with us, giving nightmares to a new generation of admirals.
