h4. History
She is termed the "demon goddess" of the Third Torpedo Squadron (DesRon3) due to her performance in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, where she alone formed one 'prong' of a three-pronged attack.  She assisted in the sinking of three destroyers (heavily damaging a fourth) and traded fire with [[South Dakota (Kancolle)|]] before she was severely damaged and sunk by [[Washington (Kancolle)|]].
