Oh wow, when I posted this I looked up the ship just to see that it existed. I figured Morichan simply picked the one ship that would crossover with his favorite character of choice despite being way too old for Kantai Collection. It was launched in 1902 and used for the Russo-Japanese war.
In actually though the Kasuga survived to and was even still being used by the IJN during WWII (even if it was only a disarmed barracks ship at that point) and wasn't sunk by the Allies until two months before the end of the war in 1945. Serving for 43 years without fully being taken out of service isn't a bad run for a warship.
EDIT: Digging into this further, there was another super long-serving armored cruiser from roughly the Kasuga's era, the Yakumo. It was launched 3 years earlier in 1899, survived to WWII, was still actively used in the war as a cruiser (rather than being stripped down and reclassified like Kasuga). It survived the war without getting sunk, and continued to be actively used after the war was lost as a transport for the better part of a year to bring people back to Japan from it's previous holdings before finally getting scraped in 1946. That's an even better run of 47 years. Kantai Collection and the other WWII naval gacha games should implement her.
Question: So, a lot of these Ame pictures are getting added to the Virtual Graduation Commemoration pool. However, from what we know, Ame isn't ACTUALLY graduating. She's ceasing "general activities" and "will remain affiliated with Cover Corp, participating in future projects." So she's still part of Hololive/ Cover, or something like that.
So should all these art pieces REALLY be added to the VGC pool? It's not a big deal, just a kinda curious thought I had. Probably a bit pedantic.

ceasing activities is a low-key word for graduating without some big show "final livestream" etc.

Ame and her relation with Hololive will go though a big change and one part of that is ending her usual activities like livestreams, chats, concerts, and her appearances. People and artists are saying goodbye to that part to create a moment of closure.
For that reason alone, all related art should be in the pool, regardless of the cause, her reasoning, or her future plans with Hololive.
I believe it's a reference to history: Hernan Cortes ordered to burn their own ships so they would conquer or die. But actually they were just scuttled, not burnt.
