Night battle. Akatsuki had the misfortune of shining a light on Atlanta and immediately suffered the consequences. Atlanta herself would go on to be torpedoed by one of Akatsuki's sisters, and had to be scuttled after the battle.

There's something oddly bittersweet about this being the last panel. It's probably unintentional, but on the final panel of this strip its Akagi and Kaga running off to do what they do best in this series. A kind of goodbye to use readers, of sorts.
Ahhh another American beauty made by Yoshinori. I was getting worried she would never make another American ship. No offense to the other artists, but Yoshinori is queen of American ship-girl design.
