Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

She was one of the many ships of the Mutsuki-class to receive extensive refits. She was refitted three newer boilers, allowing the downsizing of her aft stack (her sister-ship Yayoi had a similar refit and downsizing of her forward stack). Most of her sister-ships also lost one or two main guns for up to a dozen AA guns.
