Akitsumaru can help you when joining an event with branching rules. Former 2 events with combined fleet mechanism had used Akitsumaru as part of branching rule to pick easier routes, although you can put CL/CA in first fleet instead on her to comply.

Her Kai version can help retaining AS on 5-3 against Nanpou Sen-hime (enable double attacks for BB & CA), but she is a slow ship and might be primary cause of retreat by submarine cut-in.
