Don't be so quick to discount her. Remember that she is the only one who can equip the flying boat (which has +12 LOS), and that the ELOS contribution from seaplanes is the seaplane LOS stat * 2. Therefore, one flying boat contributes +24 to ELOS, compared to the +10 ELOS contribution from the Type 0 Recon. Now imagine what 3x flying boats (the maximum you can obtain from this event) all equipped on her could do to your ELOS...(+72 just from the equipment alone, disregarding everything else including fleet LOS and other ships' equipment). It's not just LOS checks and routing that this could help with, since it has also been shown that higher LOS increases the chances of artillery spotting activating for all ships in your fleet.
