late to the discussion, but this is the way I see the B Kai..

Background:

- Hamakaze (or the entire Kagerou class) is a Type-A DD.

- Type-B DDs are AA-specialists such as the Akizuki class

B Kai vs Kai B

- I think this is actually important from a naming convention point-of-view

- "Kai B" would have been a literal remodel similar to Asashio K2 -> Asashio K2D

- "B Kai" actually means that the base Hamakaze is remodelled into Hamakaze B, then Kai-ed

- this also means that the base DD is not the same Hamakaze you knew.. now it is a Type-B DD first before it is kai-ed

B Kai vs Kai Ni

- based on the above, it wouldn't make sense if they allowed Hamakaze BK to remodel into Hamakaze K2 directly

- (speculation) Hamakaze will have both K2 and BK2.. you upgrade from BK to BK2, then K2 if you want (reversible K2)
