Because she has no historical background whatsoever. Her only importance to this entire operation was being the only US carrier casualty during Leyte Gulf. Her in game stats is pretty shitty, I dare even say Houshou is better than her. We could of had gotten USS Johnston and Samuel B Roberts, who held off against Yamato, Kongou, Haruna, Suzuya, Kumano, and several other cruisers and destroyers, and had manage to fool Kurita to believing that his entire task force was being attacked by a much larger defending US fleet, but no, it seems instead Tanaka decides to choose a ship girl who had no historical signifigance. My guess is that Tanaka didn't want Johnston and Roberts in the game because IJN nationalism.
