	IJN Momi and Wakatake class Destroyers
		The MOMI class, (also known as the KURI type, for such is the listing in some Japanese sources), was ordered under the IJN 8-8 Fleet Project towards the end of the First World War.
		The MOMI and WAKATAKE types were fast and powerful ships, comparing well to their foreign contemporaries, but within a few years of their completion they were regarded as being of an obsolete design.
		Their role as fleet destroyers was seen to be compromised by the increasingly more powerful destroyers appearing in foreign navies.

	STAR CROSSED SORTIE:THE LAST VOYAGE OF UNRYU AND DESDIV 52
		The big Japanese carrier was approaching on a 30 degree starboard angle on the bow, leaving REDFISH with a near perfect setup; the submarine skipper did not even have to modify his approach course and slipped smoothly into attack position.
		The destroyers had not realized he had remained near the surface, but time was running out.
		She was intercepted by American destroyers, and after a hard-fought gunfire duel lasting less than an hour, sank at 2257 with the loss of ComDesdiv 52 and all hands in what proved the last surface battle of the U.S. Navy with the Japanese Navy.

	IJN Minekaze, Kamikaze and Mutsuki class Destroyers
		Destroyers were purchased mainly from Yarrows and Thonnycroft, leaders in destroyer design at the time.
		While not all of these new ideas were completely successful, (the forward gun and torpedo mounting were swept by water in heavy seas and were sometimes unworkable), generally the new destroyers were fast and powerful ships that were equal to any of their foreign contemporaries.
		The parallel designs, Second Class destroyers of the Momi and Wakataka classes, were also ordered in this period and for a time after their completion were also not given the names assigned to them but were only known by their hull numbers.

	LemaireSoft's 2nd class destroyer: global (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Two series of smaller ones, the 2nd class destroyers, (Momi and Wakatake) were completed.
		They were outdated when World War II started and their only performed second line duties during the conflict.
		Those were upright and separated by one of the three 4.7" turrets (few of the surviving examples still retained all three turrets during World War II).

		She was assigned to Des Div 52, with Matsu-class destroyers Momi & Hinoki, to cover the aircraft carrier Unryu loaded with "Ohka" suicide rocket craft to deliver to the Philippine capital of Manila.
		Both the Momi and Hinoki were sunk in later separate actions near the Philippines by early January 1945, so it seemed as that Shigure was still charmed as "indestructible" by being yet again the only survivor of an assembled IJN force.
		The torpedoed destroyer went down in ten minutes with 37 of her crew, and with her sinking, Shigure added to the sum of 134 IJN destroyers lost in war operations (including all in the Shiratsuyu class) from a total of 176 deployed.

	Introduction
		All these activities were observed at or near the Japanese Dock, and it is obvious that most of the impact on the reef comes from the ever expanding range and frequency of human use of the reef.
		Assuming that the reef at Parem and the Japanese dock are of the same age, it should be expected that the boulder corals at both sites would attain the same maximum size, since conditions at both sites are not significantly different.
		This difference is perhaps due to the collecting of boulder coral for building material at the Japanese dock, since coral boulders are commonly used in all forms of construction in the Pacific, and since the village of Sapuk, where the Japanese dock is collected, was very heavily built up under the Japanese occupation.

	Imperial Submarines
		SubRon 1 is given the mission to reinforce and resupply the isolated Japanese garrisons in the Aleutian Islands.
		The contact appears stationary during the destroyer's approach, but at the last minute there is a sudden shift in bearing rate and a perceptible change in relative speed, as if the submarine is attempting to escape.
		The Japanese code name the I-34 "Momi" (Fir) and the Germans code name her the "U-Tanne".

		Some items of note are: USS Holland (SS 1) commissioned in 1900; the force that brought devastation to the Japanese navy in World War II; the prominent role in the successful and peaceful conclusion of the Cold War; and the challenges and roles of the post-Cold War era.
		Such losses gutted Japanese industrial power and effectively eliminated the ability of the Japanese to sustain combat forces forward and replace combat losses of ships and aircraft.
		The losses so decimated the Japanese fleet that it was never able to regain the offensive, turning the tide of the war in the Pacific.

		Japanese warships were named according to their warrior tradition of "aestheticized violence" (explained in detail by "Zen and the Art of Divebombing" (http://www.friesian.com/divebomb.htm)), which looked upon combat as a work of (martial) art.
		A full list of Japanese warship names and their translations is found at http://www.combinedfleet.com/ijnnames.htm.

	Return to Faq
		This ship apparently was boarded by Japanese sailors (one officer and ten petty officers) and was being escorted by a destroyer when she managed to loose the destroyer.
		Japanese ships usually carried one of these and, for example, the "Shôkaku" class had one mounted aft.
		I’ve flipped through numerous photos of destroyers, including the Akizuki class, but I could not find a single shipboat with a darkened bottom, the few that were clearly visible were all grey overall.
