In 1937, Ashigara was invited to UK for fleet reviewing for coronation of George VI, where an English reporter commented that he "saw actual fleet for first time" and called her "Hungry Wolf". This isn't complement, but rather a satire mocking to her rough and clunky design compaerd to those of English fleets.

As for "Nightmare of Solomon", it refers to Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, which in Japanese is called 「第三次ソロモン海戦」（The Third Naval Battle of Solomon Sea）. Yudachi destroyed multiple ships including Battleships within about 36 min, then sunk during the battle by herself, which gave her the name "Nighmare of Solomon". This battle also caused Akatsuki and Hiei to sink.
