Nevermind that, Can anyone here link Abukuma's admiral to an operation involve Carriers? Be it actual or planned by IJN. During the Battle of Midway, the 1st Torpedo Squadron (including Abukuma) participated in Operation AL.

Admiral Kimura was commanding Suzuya (in a fleet escorting the landing ships for Operation MI) at that time, after Mogami and Mikuma's collosion and Americans' attack on the latter, Kimura, while receiving signals of "FOLLOW ME" from his fleet commander, Kurita, signaled "MY ENGINES FAILED", delibrately reduced speed, and went to Mikuma's rescue.

Still, I think Abukuma's K2 don't have anything to do with the event. The crane sisters might have, though.
