But the A-150 was only in the early stages of design/project and their blue prints were destroyed to not turn into spoils of war (for yankees) ...historically speaking, A-150 never had the opportunity to have their own names...

But, I don't know, put paper ships in Kancolle open a path in the game for endless possibilities (as German and Italians CVs i.e) but in my humble opinion, it deviates from the original proposal of game, so... I think more wise for the devs, as you mentioned, put the Kai Ni for Yamato-Class with 5 slot than implementing such "Kii class" xD

PS: but, well, they are the devs, they do what they want with the game! Until now, the policy was not to introduce paper ships, not even uncompleted ships or prototype ships like Kasagi (#4 of Unryuu class, construction stopped before end of war) or Yamato (Design A140G0A, all turrets on front), so I was actually surprised when I heard about A-150's plan.

Maybe Super Yamato will be the only exception, given that the game requires so much historical reference and puns to build up a ship girl's character.

BTW, A-150 was actually mostly complete by the start of the war in Pacific, destruction of the blueprints happened later when Japan was desperately losing. They even appeared in the 1942 Maru-5 Plan, as Hull Number 797 and Hull Number 798.
