Is Ning Hai good?
Ning Hai gets a huge firepower boost, up to 35%, when she sails with 
Ping Hai, and she deals up to 25% bonus damage against Sakura Empire ships, which comes up often since a lot of regular map enemies belong to that faction. After remodeling she gains very high stats plus a permanent firepower and speed buff, putting her damage against Sakura Empire targets among the best in the game.
Durability is a real weak point though, even with medium armor, so she's best run as part of a full Ping Hai and 
Yat Sen trio rather than alone.
Strengths
- Big firepower boost when paired with Ping Hai
- Deals bonus damage against the common Sakura Empire faction
- Remodel adds a permanent firepower and speed buff
Weaknesses
- Durability is a real weakness
Profile
Ning Hai is voiced by Marie Miyake in Japanese.
Background
Ning Hai has larger breasts than her sister, Ping Hai, which 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 teenagers.
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.
