Bit of a nickpick, but... Yahagi is a Light Cruiser.It just means that you need no less than 12 destroyers at a time.

That is USS New Jersey from the Kancolle UA Fanwork "Pacific", by Morgane of the Mists and jeanex/November. It's originally written in Chinese, but there's been english language translations out for awhile. There's two volumes of fanart currently out, and it's focused around US Navy shipgirls.

Where may one find these translations? I've looked before and only found the chinese version and some fanart.

Quite.
For example, there these two fine comrades:
Soviet submarine S-13 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - The number is very fitting... for her enemies.
- sank the 25,484-ton German military transport ship Wilhelm Gustloff, overfilled with civilians and military personnel, with three torpedoes. Recent estimates calculate that over 9,000 people were killed, the worst loss of life in maritime history. Top 1 as worst maritime loss of life
- sank another German military transport ship Steuben. 3,300 civilians and military personnel from the ship died. Top 10 as worst maritime loss of life
Soviet submarine L-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- sank the German refugee transport "Goya", an event that (if calculated by loss of life) is deemed to be one of the worst marine disaster ever, when 6,000 to 7,000 people died in the icy waters of the Baltic Sea. Top 2 as worst maritime loss of life.
- Rammed by transport ship, lost a periscope and antennas. Was NOT noticed. During that event, First time ever in Baltic sea, proved possibility of torpedo attack without visual contact, using only sonar.
[to put into perspective, Titanic was less than 1500 casualties]
Wait, which one? The biological daughter or the chuuni one?

You can't hotlink danbooru images. Reupload them to another site such as Imgur.Were the Russian Navy's submarines good subs?

Yes.
Pic's broken, but yes and no. On one hand, they had @Stahor's aforementioned Really Good Subs. That said, two military transports loaded to the gills with people does not a glowing submarine record make. For two hundred-odd submarines, the fact they didn't get very much actually sunk says a lot. L-3 scored about 31,000 GRT for the war as the best Soviet submarine, and that looks like a lot... until you look at America's best one, Tang, with 227,000 tons sunk according to war records and later revised down to 116,000 tons. U-35, a German boat from the First World War took out 540,000 tons.
So, theoretically, they had decent boats. Between target starvation and the fact the Soviet Navy was as much of a whipping boy as the Kriegsmarine, though, they never got a chance to really shine.
As for their nuke boats... well... I'll quietly contain my laughter.

Personally, sinking transports loaded with refugees (and the soviets giving a medal for doing it decades after everyone knows it was mostly civilians) does not make a fun character. Germans would hate them even more than other Soviets.

I was thinking of the Treasury class, which are longer than a DE. They served for 40+ years, and had 7 ships in the class. They were taken into the navy during WWII as escorts, and USCG Ingham is the only ship still afloat that has sunk a U-Boat. Nice museum too.
