Ning Hai

Ning Hai (Chinese: 甯海; literally: 'Peaceful Seas') was a light cruiser in the Republic of China Navy (ROCN) before World War II and the lead ship of her class. She was sunk in the early days of the Second Sino-Japanese War by aircraft from the Imperial Japanese Navy, and her wreck was raised and repaired by the Japanese, re-entering service with the Japanese Navy in the Pacific War as the escort vessel Ioshima (五百島). She was sunk again in September 1944 by a USN submarine.
==Trivia==
===Design===
Ning Hai has larger breasts than her sister, Ping Hai. This could be a reference to the fact that Ning Hai was historically more "top heavy": As built, she had a hanger large enough for two floatplanes and had a larger powerplant to make up for the added weight and equipment. Due to the Tomozuru Incident and financial concerns, Ping Hai was designed with increased stability by removing an engine and reducing her overall bridge weight.
Despite being cruisers, Ning Hai and Ping Hai are depicted as tweenagers. This is likely due to the fact that, historically, both cruisers were fairly light, only displacing a few hundred more tons overall than the Tribal-class destroyers.
===Skills===
Sakura Resistance: The Japanese Navy were the only adversaries the Ning Hai twins had to face. Ironically, Ning Hai was actually designed and built by a Japanese ship yard. Even more ironic, she and her sister were sunk by Japanese aircraft very quickly and then re-floated by the Japanese to be used as escort ships.
===Lines===
Ning Hai repeatedly mentions being frugal, saving money, and warns you to not be wasteful. At the time Ning Hai was built, the Guomindang government had a very ambitious plan for its navy. However, at the time the Nationalists were heavily in debt, and struggled to obtain the money and financial credit required for the few ships they had in their possession.
