Without the ability to carry Saiun, she is on par with other carriers, at best. Preventing red-T is now the most important and irreplacable job for a CVL in a ASW map, not being able to do so will surely largely neutralize her advantage in OASW and higher ASW stats.

However just how high a priority is a dedicated ASW CVL to your fleet? Right now it's more like a luxury than a must-have. Unless you have most of your BP-requiring ships done, Taiyou may have to wait.
