She might become usable in TCF My understanding is that the devs *don't* do April Fools... that is, they don't give out false news or joke-announcements.

...instead they make outrageous statements that they are 100% serious about. For example, in a prior year, they announced that there would be a 1:1 scale Zuiun, later that year there wsas Zuiunfest with a 1:1 scale model.

This being said, the information I just posted was from one of their 2 April tweets.

Anything beyond that (such as her usefulness in any combined fleet), is unknown... but I suspect that with this there will be more incenitve to put a FBB in the Escort Fleet of any combined fleet.
