I've set my eyes on her since the first day I played the game, but after a month and a half of crafting and hunting for her in sortie maps, burning through my resources until I reached its critical mass, she still refuse to show up. Hiei, Kirishima, Haruna, all showed up after the previous reached her first remodel, that also cost me a lot of my time and resources.

It is until I've once decided to give up on her (and thus the 4th fleet) and about to try my luck on Yamato (which I later discovered that my luck sucks when it comes to crafting). I was running my daily Transport Fleet Raid Quest on 2-2, just like any other day, after this I decided that I would be doing my first LSC. Then the compass girl direct me to the Boss node instead of my aimed transport node. I shrugged that of a bit, I know it's my luck and I can't blame the compass, just have to get it done with the 2-2 Boss. After all is done, a ship is dropped, the game take times to load; it is a new ship I've never had in my base before, then came the gold background, I know that at the very least something good is going to happen. Then comes her annoyingly shrill but sweet voice with her uniquely wierd JapLish accent "It's the English-born returnee, Kongou! Nice to meet you!"

I was stunned. Finally she showed up, everything I was planning, the LSC, Yamato, all mean nothing to me at that moment. I quickly put her on the flagship position, arm her with the finest pieces of equipment I have at that time (a 46cm gun in excess, a 41cm gun, and a 12.7cm AA gun), and unlock the 4th fleet. I've put the LSC and Yamato project on halt for a month so that I can focus my resource on tending to Kongou (and also trying to clear 2-4)

Right now she had earn a place in my main fleet, as my flagship. There are times when she's not in the flagship position too, like when I want to specifically grind a specific ship, but she's always in the main fleet as the main, reliable firepower that could decide a life/death situation of the enemy ships.
