Kii — Japanese premium Tier VIII battleship.
This high-speed battleship was designed under the 1920 shipbuilding program. The ship was a further development of the Amagi-class battleship design. Compared with her predecessor, she had heavier armor protection. The Kii-class battleships were canceled as a result of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922.

Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Kii are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 to improve main battery and torpedo tube survivability.
- Slot 2: There are two viable options here; Aiming Systems Modification 1 to improve your main battery accuracy, or AA Guns Modification 2 to increase the scare factor of your substantial anti-aircraft armaments.
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 1, because it's the most useful out of the three choices in this slot.
- Slot 5: Damage Control System Modification 2 to decrease the amount of time you spend on fire.
- Slot 6: Concealment System Modification 1 so you can be sneakii.
Commander Skills
Given that Kii has a distinctly un-Japanese AA battery for a battleship, it might well be worth investing in captain skills designed to take advantage of this. Otherwise, you can go for a cookie-cutter survivability based battleship, choosing skills to help your ship stay afloat longer. Both options are viable, and the decision between the two is mostly down to personal preference.

Camouflage
As a premium ship, Kii comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
This friendly New Orleans was a Kii ally, and must be avenged!
This Fletcher needed backup. Battleship caliber guns were the Kii!
