the ingame HP (and armor) is one of the most accurate stats consider how the real ships are

DD = fast, mobile, they trade armor for speed

now, consider the bigger ship. A BB/CV is very long IRL, unless the attack hit somewhere important (fuel tank, engine room, etc,....) they wont get damaged that easily. Meanwhile, small DD have higher chance to get hit at those place (since they are small), therefore their HP is low to reflect how easy to get rekt they are

you can play some RPG games and see. Tankers always have higher HP than supporters and others.

poi kai-2 have her own debate in her page, please dont pull it here

and fubuki k-2:

- Real life reason: i dont like her so i will leave it for someone else

- THE ANIME REASON (she got her kai-2 around the time the anime was airing so this can be a reason): MC always get some buff (to be exact, OP buff), this is just how they buff her

The devs often go overboard when buffing some ships, that's true. But a DD's HP should never get pass 39-40
