Latest info from the Devs stated that this upgrade is going to be 'Night-Battle' focused with a mention of being in the lead of a Torpedo or Cruiser squadron.

...what this means in specific is is completely unknown right now, but we should be finding out in about 2 weeks (which is when the next maintenance is taking place and where the upgrade will be deployed).

Frankly, I think this is a good thing. The Kongou-class generally falls by the wayside as far as FBBs go, especially once folks start getting event-only FBBs...so giving them some way to stand out or contribute is, I think, a good thing.
