The Katori cruisers are called 'training' cruisers because they are made to be more stable than the others to give better adjustment for fresh crew who are not used to the sea, however it also make them slower, they are slower than Yuubari even. While in practice (double pun, sorry) they are not exactly used as 'practice' cruisers, but as command ship for submarine groups, and later as AA escorts and ASW platform.

I expect them to have slightly worse stats in speed and evasion, but higher armor. Maybe even have 4 slots. Unlike Yuubari, they carry a floatplane. Perhaps similar to Ooyodo with stats more focused on AA and ASW. They probably can also carry barrels since they have been used as transport as well.
