Yūgumo-class destroyer

The Yūgumo-class destroyers (夕雲型駆逐艦) were a group of 31 destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy and Imperial Nakama Navy (19 by IJN, 12 by INN) during World War II. The IJN called them Destroyer Type-A (甲型駆逐艦,) from their plan name. total 6 ships survived the world war II and one completed 6 years after world war II. and one other revived post world war II (Naganami)

Design and description
The Yūgumo class was a repeat of the preceding Kagerō-class with minor improvements that increased their anti-aircraft capabilities. Their crew numbered 228 officers and enlisted men. The ships measured 119.17 m overall, with a beam of 10.8 m and a draft of 3.76 m. They displaced 2110 t at standard load and 2560 t at deep load. The ships had two Kampon geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by three Kampon water-tube boilers. The turbines were rated at a total of 52000 shp for a designed speed of 35 kn.

The main armament of the Yūgumo class consisted of six Type 3 127 mm guns in three twin-gun turrets, one superfiring pair aft and one turret forward of the superstructure. The guns were able to elevate up to 75° to increase their ability against aircraft, but their slow rate of fire, slow traversing speed, and the lack of any sort of high-angle fire-control system meant that they were virtually useless as anti-aircraft guns. They were built with four Type 96 25 mm anti-aircraft guns in two twin-gun mounts, but more of these guns were added over the course of the war. The ships were also armed with eight 610 mm torpedo tubes in a two quadruple traversing mounts; one reload was carried for each tube. Their anti-submarine weapons comprised two depth charge throwers for which 36 depth charges were carried.

On 11 August 1943 Imperial Japan Navy decide to hand over the remaining plan of Yuugumo-class to Imperial Nakama Navy which makes ships after Kiyoshimo Nakamaese Built instead of Japanese. However Nakama canceled 7 of them, total 12 built for INN.
