Historical Notes:

Lead ship of her class of destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the 1920's. The Kamikaze class was a follow-up to the Minekaze class with minor changes and together with the Mutsuki class the three are often considered to be part of a single, extended class.

Armament as of 1930 consisted of 5x1 120mm/45 Type 3 guns, 2x1 7.7mm/80 Type 92 AA guns and 3x2 533.4mm torpedo launchers.

The Kamikaze class consisted of 9 ships, Kamikaze (Divine Wind), Asakaze (Morning Wind), Harukaze (Spring Wind), Matsukaze (Pine Tree Wind), Hatakaze (Flag Wind), Oite (Tail Wind), Hayate (Gale), Asanagi (Morning Calm) and Yunagi (Evening Calm).

Eighteen more ships had been planned, but were cancelled with the Washington Naval Treaty. Of these, only two had received names, Okaze (Great Wind) and Tsumujikaze (Whirlwind).


Old description:

HIJMS Kamikaze (1930)

An improved version of the earlier Minekaze-class destroyers, which the Kamikaze-class greatly resembled. Kamikaze herself spent most of her time defending the northern coast of Japan. During WW2 she was assigned to escort duty of multiple ships and was primarily based off Singapore. When the war ended, Kamikaze was used as a troop repatriation ship until running aground in 1946 near Omaezaki while rescuing another beached vessel. She was scrapped in 1947.
