	Long Lancers
		The Imperial Navy's search for the ideal destroyer found fruition in the KAGERO class, 19 units of which were built between 1939 and 1941.
		Although the KAGEROs were some 72 tons heavier and sported a slightly thicker bridge structure, their stability was improved by lowering the fore quadruple torpedo tube mount and moving its reloads forward abaft the bridge.
		At the beginning of the Pacific War the KAGEROs formed the backbone of the Empire's first-line destroyer strength, comprising the 4th, 15th, 16th, 17th and half of the 18th Destroyer Divisions.

	Long Lancers
		Though the preceding KAGERO class is generally considered the top of this line, the YUGUMOs incorporated some significant improvements over even that classic type.
		Their main armament of six 5"/50 cal. guns was the same as the KAGEROs, but these were mounted in the new Type D turret capable of 75-degree elevations as opposed to KAGERO's 55-degrees, a considerable advantage in the antiaircraft role which became more vital as the war progressed.
		The first 11 destroyers of this class (hull numbers 116-124 and 126-127) were ordered under the 1939 Program.

	IJN Minekaze, Kamikaze and Mutsuki class Destroyers
		Destroyers were purchased mainly from Yarrows and Thonnycroft, leaders in destroyer design at the time.
		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.
		As the Fubuki class and their improved successors became available in numbers the Minekaze and Kamikaze ships were withdrawn from first line service and reassigned to secondary duties.

		They were armed with 6 5" guns and 8 torpedo tubes for the Long Lance.
		As with most pre-WW II ships, Kageros were also deficient in anti-submarine and anti-aircraft weaponry.
		Over the course of the war these would be remedied, with depth charge capacity increased to 36 and the addition of 4 launchers; anti-aircraft weaponry also increased steadily from only four 25mm machine guns at the start of the war to 28 by the end.

	Advanced Japanese Destroyers of World War II
		In subsequent battles in the Solomons, the Japanese were without all of their previous advantages, and their reliance on destroyers to carry the brunt of supply as well as combat actions simply meant a terrific attrition in the destroyer force.
		The final "anti-aircraft" class of large destroyers is the only attempt made in this direction comparable to the American anti-aircraft light cruisers, like the Atlanta and Juneau (both tragically sunk when improperly deployed into surface combat around Guadalcanal).

		The design of this class was originally to be that of an anti-aircraft escort ship for carrier task forces, and they were not to have any torpedoes or depth charge equipment.
		The elevation of the main guns was increased from 55 to 75 degrees and the bridge was streamlined, reducing wind resistance and improving stability.
		The Matsu Class, approved in the 1942 Supplementary Programme was laid down 1943-1944 and completed between April 1944 and January 1945.

		Destroyers were chosen because of their speed and ability defend themselves against all but the heaviest American ships.
		The Americans referred to these high-speed destroyer convoys as the “Tokyo Express.” The following scenario is based on an encounter between the Tokyo Express and the PT boats near Guadalcanal in late 1942.
		The unit was originally composed of seven destroyers, but an air attack by American dive-bombers from Henderson Field damaged two destroyers and they have been sent back to Rabaul with an undamaged destroyer as an escort.

		Compared with the Seawolf, the Virginia Class SSN is slower, carries fewer weapons, and is less capable in diving depth and arctic operations.

		The primary design driver for the Virginia Class SSN is acoustic quietness equal to that of the Seawolf, even at the cost of reducing maximum top speed.

		Coming between the foreign designed (and often built) vessels of the earlier part of the century and the innovative Kagero and Fubuki 'Special Type' destroyers of the 1930s, the Minekaze ('Summit Wind') Class was a significant transitional design for the Imperial Navy.
		The lead ship of her class and the similar Kamikaze and Mutsuki Classes to follow, Minekaze incorporated a number of distinctive design innovations including a lengthened forecastle with a break forming a well deck immediately forward of the bridge.
		Commissioned during the 1920s, the thirteen ships of the Minekaze class were the mainstay of the Imperial Navy destroyer squadrons throughout the decade until gradually replaced by more advanced types.
