One of these was the I-401, or, Iona, who made contact with Gunzō Chihaya to become his ship. The ships of the Fog, impersonal and faceless, started developing "Mental Models", human avatars capable of thinking in ways similar to human beings, with personalities unique to each Mental Model. In 2054, a change became across the Fleet of Fog. The result was a world where humanity's presence in the oceans is no more, with communication via the seas cut off and humans isolated from each other, blockaded by the "Fleet of Fog". Modeled after ships that appeared in World War II, but possessing weaponry far superior to those in humanity's possession and protected by an indestructible barrier immune to whatever we have to throw at them, humanity quickly loses control of the seas and our military forces are annihilated in the desperate battles against them. In 2038, a mysterious fleet of warships, who have lurked around the world in the decades decades before, went on the offensive against humanity. Voiced by: Rina Satō (Drama CD) Manami Numakura (Anime) She does have a few drawbacks, with a very large citadel hitbox - due to the large bridge/boiler area amidships - as well as a slow rate of fire and a mediocre anti-aircraft suite, but she is overall a very powerful ship. With a full concealment build she can even fire torpedoes from beyond her detection radius in certain situations. Her impressively low detection range means that she can engage the enemy at her terms, and if situations go awry she can sneak away (providing there are no aircraft patrolling the sky or a nearby destroyer to detect her. She also gains access to the Repair Party consumable, allowing her to recover HP, unlike most other cruisers at Tier VIII). While her main battery rate of fire is slower, her torpedoes are quadruple tube mounts (for a total of 16 instead of 12) and the forward launcher on each side fires forwards instead of backwards, making it useful against enemies in front of the ship. Bearing the same ABC-XY turret layout of her historical predecessor Myoko, this heavy cruiser is fairly similar to her predecessor, but improves on many traits such as turret traverse and overall handling.
