Reading that article, in the real world that body of the water is the graveyard of Akatsuki, Ayanami, Fubuki, Furutaka, Hiei, Kirishima, Makigumo, Yuudachi, and several other ships not on Danbooru's page for Kancolle, including two other combat vessels (Takanami and Teruzuki).
Clearing with zero losses, when the real world claimed a total of ten (though not all in one engagement) - impressive indeed, Admiral Hyouju Issei.
If the kanmusu pictured here were his actual fleet on that playthrough, I personally imagine Kirishima especially being quietly elated here, feeling as if she evaded the cold hand of fate...
