Overview
A Fleet of Fog heavy cruiser modeled after Takao, the lead ship of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Takao-class cruisers. She lost a duel against I-401 while patrolling the Kumano Sea area, and after her defeat, she decided to leave the Fleet of Fog to join the Blue Steel privateers led by Gunzo Chihaya. Takao's Mental Model has a great deal of curiosity, which has led to her unwittingly collecting a lot of information about humanity. This warship has been modeled after Takao as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-."
