IJN Abukuma

 Hello all sorry for no posting more than 2 months because exam in my school and now i will explaining simple about IJN Abukuma.

Abukuma underway, circa 1941 E13A floatplane on catapult.

IJN Abukuma is built as the 6th ship of the 5,500 tons nagara class light cruiser.great kanto earthquake in 1923 caused many damaged in uraga ship dock,so compared her sister,abukuma's  construction took two years longer. Finally on may 26th 1925 , she's completed and entered service. Her construction period overlapped with the next generation sendai-class light cruiser. During large scales training in 1930 kitakami who moved ahead collided with abukuma from port side, causing massive damaged to abukuma bow during repair , the damaged spoon bow is changed into superior double curved bow design. Among the 5,500 tons class ships , only Abukuma , Jintsuu and Naka is equipped with this kind of bow.in 1938 she is equipped with torpedo launcher tubes and becomethe first among the nagara class to be able shoot oxygen torpedoes.

Become flagships.
At first, she's positioned as the flagships of 1st destroyer squadron. The 1st destroyer squadron mostly consisted older model destroyers.this is because the 1st destroyer squadron tasked to escort the battleship in the back. This contrasted with the 2nd destroyer squadron's newer model destroyer who escort the cruiser fighting in the front line.

 March 27th 1943, Attu island campaign

july 29th 1943, she became flagship of the kiska island evacuation operations. Abukuma collided with coast guard's ship kunashiro, but she still managed to finished the mission.
by the way, during this mission Abukuma mistakenly identify an island as enemy ship and proceed to launch torpedo together with destroyer Shimakaze and scored perfect hits on their target. In total they wasted around 200,000 yen worth of torpedoes.in today's currency, that's about 1 billion yen.

Battle of surigao strait
October 25th 1944, she joined vice admiral shima's fleet in battle of Surigao strait who will entered the battle from behind Nishimura fleet. But she hit by torpedo and have emergency repair in mindanao island.
 After the repair, accompanied by ushio, she headed to coron. On the way  they're attacked by 30 B-24 Bombers. After receiving 3 hits and 4 near misses Abukuma is stopped. Her torpedo tubes explode and an order to abandon ships is issued. With her bow standing, Abukuma sank in to the phillipine's  Negron island's water. Ushio rescued her survivor and send the to manila. In present day , the second escort "Abukuma" served as escort ship in the JMSDF. Her sisters in the abukuma class escort ship are Jintsuu, Sendai, chikuma and tone. Glad to see their names are still perpetuated by the japanese for their new vessel to honor the spirits of the crew who has sacrificed for the country.

Akatsuki class

Design and construction
 The last four special type destroyers incorporated enough diffrences that they were given a new class name.The primary difference was that these ship only had three boilers,which meant that the forward stack was thinner than group 1 and group II.this was due to new,larger type of boiler,which operated a higher pressure and which produced the same 50,000 SHP with three boilers as earlier ship did with four. the smaller forward funnel became the primary recognition featured for the akatsuki class(or group III) compared to earlier unit.


if you want to see more about the Akatsuki class you can see in this link
Here 
 because I'm too lazy to make a table on Akatsuki class (although only 4 ships -__-)

 This is the destroyer (I do not read Japanese but I can only read the letter A in the last sentence which I believe, may Inazuma)
Armament and service modification
The group III destroyer were armed like other special type units.they were completed with shields to their torpedo mounts,unlike ship in earlier groups.in 1936,this ships underwent the same reconstruction at earlier group I and II  units to correct the stability problems.when complete ,tonnage was raised to 1,980 tons, which reduced speed to 34 kt.
 the class began the war with two 13mm twin mounts positioned in front of the second stack.by late 1943,another twin 13 mm mount was added in front of the bridge to the three surviving units.this was replaced by a twin 25 mm on hibiki and ikazuchi by january 1944.these ship had one of their aft 5in.mounts removed and replaced by two triple 25mm mounts by april 1944,and another two triple 25 mm mount were added between the aft torpedo mounts.the last surviving unit,hibiki,had another 20 single 25mm guns added,as well as a no 22 and 13 radar,before the end of war.

IJN shigure

Shigure, the “luckiest ship of the war,” was originally designed to be a Hatsuharu-class destroyer. This class of ship was famous for being the first to wield the deadly Long Lance torpedoes. The failure of destroyer Tomozuru led to redesigns which influenced Shigure. Japan had been attempting to overcome what they saw as the unequal agreements reached in the Washington Treaty (1922) and at the London Naval conferences (1930 and 196) by maximizing the potential of each ship. This would result in the IJN enjoying superiority for each class of ship, which would compensate for the fewer ships officially allowed the Japanese. Experimentation followed with mixed results. One of the first attempts was the Tomozuru but this ship capsized in a typhoon in 1934. On the other hand, the concentration on shipbuilding led to the building of Yamato and Musashi, which represented a huge leap in methodology (though the design was helped in part by simply ignoring naval armament conventions).  
Shigure of this class was squadron flagship of Captain Tameichi Hara through much of 1942-43, and became one of the most famous Japanese destroyers of the war. She survived numerous battles in the Solomons (including being the sole survivor of a squadron of four destroyers ambushed by an American destroyer force in August 1943 off of Kolombangara -- one of the first instances where the Americans demonstrated that they could win night torpedo battles against the Japanese).

Shigure (時雨 ”Late Rains”^?)  was the second of ten Shiratsuyu-classdestroyers, and the first to be built for theImperial Japanese Navy under the Circle One Program (Maru Ichi Keikaku).Along with the destroyer Yukikaze, she developed a reputation within the Imperial Japanese Navy for being "lucky" or "unsinkable", emerging as the sole surviving Japanese warship from numerous battles. Shigure was torpedoed and sunk by USS Blackfin (SS-322) in theGulf of Siam on 25 January 1945.

History[edit]

The Shiratsuyu class destroyers were modified versions of the Hatsuharu-class, and were designed to accompany the Japanese main striking force and to conduct both day and night torpedoattacks against the United States Navy as it advanced across the Pacific Ocean, according to Japanese naval strategic projections. Despite being one of the most powerful classes of destroyers in the world at the time of their completion, none survived the Pacific War.

Shigure, built at the Uraga Dock Company was laid down on 9 December 1933, launched on 18 May 1935 and commissioned on 7 September 1936.

Shigure and Samidare operating off the coast of Bougainville in theSolomon Islands hours prior to theNaval Battle of Vella Lavella on October 7, 1943.

At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor,Shigure was assigned to Destroyer Division 27 of Destroyer Squadron 1 of the IJN 1st Fleet on anti-submarine warfare patrols in Japanese home waters and to assist in guarding Japan’s main battle fleet. In early 1942, Shigure was assigned to convoy escort duties, escorting Zuihō to Davao, and Shōkaku, andZuikaku to Truk. At the Battle of the Coral Sea on 7 May, Shigure was part of the escort for Admiral Takeo Takagi’s Strike Force and at the Battle of Midway on 4–6 June, she was part of the Aleutians Guard Force under Admiral Shirō Takasu. Shigure was reassigned to the IJN 2nd Fleet on 14 July after the Midway Operation was cancelled. In mid-August, Shigureescorted the fleet to Truk, and was then assigned to cover a troop transport run to reoccupyMakin Atoll after the Makin Raid. Based out of Jaluit in September, Shigure helped secureAbemama in the Gilbert Islands and Ndeni in the Santa Cruz Islands, before escorting a troop convoy from Palau to Rabaul on 24 September. In October and November, she made eight "Tokyo Express" troop transport runs to Guadalcanal. In the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanalon the night of 12–13 November 1942 she was part of the distant screening force and saw no combat, but later rescued survivors of the battleship Hiei. At the end of the year, she escortedChūyō from Truk to Yokosuka and back to Truk.

In mid-January 1943, Shigure escorted a troop convoy from Truk to Shortlands, and was later assigned to "Operation KE", to cover troop evacuations from Guadalcanal. She returned to Sasebo in mid-February for repairs. Shigure returned to Truk in mid-March, escorting Chūyōand Taiyō from Truk to Yokosuka in mid-April and returning with Chūyō and Unyō at the end of the month. In mid-May, she escorted Musashi from Truk to Yokosuka, returning to Truk by 21 June. In July, she was assigned to accompany the cruiser Nagara on various assignments around the Solomon Islands, and was reassigned to the IJN 2nd Fleet on 20 July. She made a "Tokyo Express" troop transport run to Rekata Bay on 27 July, and to Kolombangara on 1 August.

During the Battle of Vella Gulf of 6–7 August, Shigure was the only one of four Japanese destroyers to escape.^[6] During the Battle off Horaniu on 17–18 August, she again engaged United States Navy destroyers without damage while covering a troop transport mission toVella Lavella. At the end of August, she made two troop evacuation runs to Rekata Bay, one of which was aborted, and one mission to Tuluvu and to Buka, Papua New Guinea in September. She further covered two troop evacuation missions to Kolombangara at the end of September and early October.She was covering troop evacuations at Vella Lavella during the 6–7 October Battle of Vella Lavella, and contributed to massive damage toUSS Selfridge (DD-357). For the remainder of October, she participated in four more transport runs to points in New Guinea. At the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay on 2 November, she engaged an American cruiser-destroyer formation, but without damage. After making a final troop transport mission to Buka on 6 November, she escorted a convoy from Rabaul to Truk, rescuing 70 survivors of the transport Tokyo Maru en route on 10 November. She returned to Sasebo in mid-November for repairs. Departing Sasebo on 24 December, she collided with a fishing boat in Bungo Strait, and was forced to return again to Sasebo for further repairs.

In January 1944, Shigure escorted the food supply ship Irako from Yokosuka to Truk, and in early February escorted tanker convoys from Truk to Tarakan and Balikpapan. She suffered heavy damage in an air raid on Truk by United States Navy aircraft, taking a direct bomb hit to her No.2 gun turret, killing 21 crewmen and wounding 45 others. She was withdrawn to Palau for emergency repairs, and returned to Sasebo on 22 March, where her damaged turret was removed and replaced by two triple Type 96 anti-aircraft gun mounts. Repairs completed by 11 May, she escorted Musashi and aircraft carriers Chitose, Chiyoda, Zuihō to Tawitawi, and from there to Davao. In June she was assigned to “Operation KON”, (the reinforcement ofBiak), in response to American landings. She rescued 110 survivors from Harusame on 8 June, and then engaged in combat against a group of Allied cruisers and destroyers, taking two shell hits, which killed seven crewmen and wounded 15 others. From 19–20 June, Shigurewas at the Battle of the Philippine Sea as part of Admiral Takatsugu Jōjima’s “Force B”, and assisted in the rescue of survivors from the aircraft carrier Hiyō. In July, she was assigned to escort a troop convoy from Kure to Okinawa, and in August accompanied Kinu on a transport mission from Singapore to Brunei, Manila and Palau, returning via Cebu. In October, Shiguresortied from Lingga and Brunei and was at the Battle of Leyte Gulf on 22–25 October. She took minor damage from a direct bomb hit to her forward gun turret on 24 October, killing five crewmen and wounding six. She took further damage in the Battle of Surigao Strait in which a direct shell hit and several near misses took out her radio, compass, and steering, but she was the only ship of the “Southern Force” to survive the battle, and limped back to Brunei on 27 October. Shigure returned to Sasebo for repairs in November, possibly sinkingUSS Growler (SS-215) off Mindoro on 8 November en route. She was reassigned to the IJN 5th Fleet on 15 November and the IJN 2nd Fleet on 20 November, departing Kure on 17 December with Unryū for Manila. After Unryū was sunk by USS Redfish (SS-395), Shigureand Momi rescued the 146 survivors.

On 25 January 1945, while escorting a convoy from Hong Kong to Singapore, Shigure wastorpedoed and sunk by USS Blackfin (SS-322) in the Gulf of Siam, approximately 160 miles (260 km) east of Kota Bharu, Malaya at position (06°00′N 103°48′E). She sank slowly, allowing for 270 survivors to escape, with 37 crewmen lost. The survivors were rescued by Kanju and Miyake. Shigure was removed from the navy list on 10 March 1945.

Shigure and samidare description from America navy intel

IJN Fubuki

The Fubuki-class destroyers (吹雪型駆逐艦 Fubukigata kuchikukan) was a class of twenty-four destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Fubuki class has been called "the world's first modern destroyer. The Fubuki class not only set a new standard for Japanese vessels, but for destroyers around the world. At a time when British and American destroyers had changed little from their un-turreted, single-gun mounts and light weaponry, the Japanese destroyers were bigger, more powerfully armed, and faster than any similar  class of vessel in the other fleets. They remained formidable opponents to the end of World War II, despite being much older than many of their adversaries.
