ARP Kirishima — Japanese special premium Tier V battleship.
A Battleship of the "Fleet of Fog". Modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 4th Kongo-class battleship, Kirishima. She was first seen engaging I-401, along with Haruna, at the battle in Yokosuka Bay. She was eventually defeated by I-401 due to her "trump card" backfiring under her rival's tactics. This warship has been specially designed for World of Warships, and is modeled after Kirishima as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-".

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Kongo, the following recommended upgrades are the same:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 *
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
Slot 1 provides players with the first option in choosing a desired role. Typically, Main Armaments Modification 1 is recommended to provide additional survivability to the main battery, but players who desire to specialize in the secondary or anti-aircraft armament should choose Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 .
Slot 3 allows for further specialization. Generally, Aiming Systems Modification 1 is recommended because it reduces shell dispersion of the main and secondary armaments. To increase the effectiveness of the anti-aircraft armament, mount AA Guns Modification 2 (). Players wishing to specialize for secondaries should mount Secondary Battery Modification 1 ().
However, as it is a copy, players can experiment with different upgrade combinations.
Commander Skills
As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Kongo, the following recommended commander skills for maximum effectiveness are the same. However, as it is a copy, players can experiment with different commander skill builds.
