The destroyers of the Akizuki "Autumn Moon" class were very
different from the standard fleet type of Imperial Japanese Navy
destroyers inaugurated with the Fubuki class. They were designed
for the protection of the Imperial Japanese Navy's carrier task
forces, and in order to achieve this they carried a particularly
powerful antiaircraft armament and had an extremely long radius of
action. However, only 12 out of a planned number of 39 entered
service, and they arrived too late to play a crucial role in the
decisive carrier battles of World War II. Despite this, their
history is of particular interest since the Akizuki class
foreshadowed the postwar fleet escort. This is the history of their
design and construction, and it relies heavily on Japanese source
material and includes numerous photos and drawings.
