Minority? Not really. Most IJN capital ships so far were either introduced or K2ed on or near historical dates.

Hiryuu (Midway/final operation, K2), Yamato and Musashi (Respective date launched, introduction), Haruna (Date sunk, K2), Kongou (Date sunk within range of event, K2ed on start of the event to make available working time for Hiei),  Hiei (one day before date launched, K2), Fusou (date of starting final operation/one day before date sunk, K2), Yamashiro (Date laid down, K2), Unryuu (2 days after date completed, introduction), Shoukaku (date sunk, available for construction), 10 in total.

only Kirishima, Taihou, Soryuu, Zuikaku and the rest Unryuu-class CVs are exceptions (6 in total). They don't have any in-game dates related to their respective historical dates, NOT YET (Since Taihou, Zuikaku and Unryuu-class haven't received K2 yet).

I understand your point, but from what you said, 7 kai Ni's out of 48 had something to do with their original ship. But the fact that Capitals are more historical related is nice to know.

Salt Ends I think everyone wants their favorite Shipgirl to have seasonal outfits, so i'd prefer Samidare and Nowaki over Kaga or Akagi or Haguro.
