>Kashima, she was confirmed some time ago.

When did they confirm that it's Kashima instead of Kashi?

>But what would that be? Kriegsmarine and Regia Marina didn't actually build any dedicated training cruisers like IJN did. They just assigned obsolete cruisers to that role.

Even modern ones were used, the Germans in particular retreated most of the really old cruisers that they were allowed to keep by the Versailles treaty when they built replacements. It doesn't change much anyway, effectively the only other countries that had purpose-built "training cruisers" were France (Jeanne d'Arc) and Argentine (La Argentina).
