I was annoyed by the fact that "why Abukuma can use A-kyouteki" if she's not a Kuma-Class  CL? Well, reading the Nagara-Class design notes:

"A final three 5,500 ton class light cruisers authorized under the 8-4 Fleet Program were ordered by the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1920. Due to minor changes in design, primarily due to advances in torpedo technology, these three vessels were initially designated as “modified Kuma-class”, or “5500-ton class Type II”, before being re-designated after the lead vessel, Nagara. A second set of three vessels was authorized in late 1920. These final three vessels were initially to be named Suzuka, Otonase, and Minase until November 1921."

That explains basically why she's getting the ability to use A-Kyouteki, and the reason why Natori, Isuzu and Nagara have different suits than Abukuma , Kinu and Yura.
