The thing is Abukuma got versatility rather than power. Don't expect her to wreck a Ri Flagship in day battle solo like Jintsuu does, or soloing BB hime in night battle like Kitakami. But she can do what they both can do, just not as well. She also keep her CL designation unlike Kitakami, so she can be smuggled to places where CLTs are otherwise not allowed. Also, imagine what they can do in a combined fleet, 4 ships firing torpedo salvo.
