It's a safe file but because it requires flash player (and it won't play normally even if you do use a regular flash player) it was a way to see if that particular filename or file path is blocked by your ISP or something. It is strange that of all the other ships you have tested which you mentioned is fine but not Chiyoda and that you have tried virtually all the steps mentioned in Tutorial: Troubleshooting the only thing left is to try other internet connection (by means through proxy or VPN otherwise) to see if the issue persists.

You don't need to manually open the swf file. In fact after getting the flash to work within KC3 Kai's library you should be able to view Chiyoda properly as it downloads the exact same file, extracts image contents from the swf file and shows it on your screen. This is more or less what KC the game does anyway when you select the ships to sortie in fleet overview or when previewing in the list of ships you have available. However if the playback fails within KC3 Kai for Chiyoda and not for other ships that you have then it would mean that the filename for some unknown reason is blocked by some source (some content provider or network may have blocked it). Again that is not the case here. The topic with wanting to see the contents of the file yourself is kind of another topic.

Put simply, now that you have KC3 Kai library to be accepted under flash player settings, try viewing Chiyoda and other ships again. If all but Chiyoda works it is probably the file is corrupted or is blocked whilst the data is to be fed to your browser. This is probably one of the root causes of why your game freezes when you try to sortie or to view Chiyoda.
