Target Series!

She is the first proof-of-concept for Advanced Buoyancy II System(A-II), it is significantly stronger against explosives compared to A-I thanks to her external hull being split in the middle, however, since it is particularly a bit more tedious to install, only ships above 60m will have A-II installed, whereas ships below 60m will still have the original A-I installed to keep my sanity intact, you can expect more robust ship to come after.

notes : the first ship that truly implemented the A-II system, unlike the previous A-I system, the A-II are significantly stronger against explosives, Akashi in particular are quite strong, although in hindsight(again), it is actually overall weaker than that of a proper A-II destroyers, only having 4FA sections instead of 6FA which it should have, and having a somewhat low health pool that in theory, should only be able to tank as much as 53x 8.8cm shells OVERALL, in another theory, destroying the front half should be enough to sink it so cut the shells needed to 26-27x 8.8cm, nevertheless, for the first true A-II ship, it is satisfactory.
