Every foreign CL would have a look then crush her without problems. And i'm not talking about monsters like Belfast, Cleverland or Brooklyn (who will need Myoko kai ni class firepower and armor)... You've clearly forgotten Jintsu K2, Yahagi and Ooyodo. And the Atlanta-class AA cruisers which had relatively poor armor (which is grounds enough to make them statistically identical to Akizuki-class).

And lest you forget, torpedo stats contributes greatly to night battle performance. USN's torpedo really sucks up until late in the war, and none of the other navies have the torpedoes that is comparable to IJN, So whatever Cleveland would be, she'll be a slightly inferior Zara at best.
