The World War II-era destroyers of the Japanese Fubuki class were
the first of a type sometimes referred to as "super destroyers."
These destroyers were extremely large and heavily armed with guns
and torpedoes. Ironically, the IJN was pushed to create heavier
destroyers by the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, which
discouraged the construction of new capital ships. Particular
emphasis was placed on ships that were important for the night
battle preceding the "decisive battle." Thereby the stage was
prepared for the Fubuki class, and it introduced a new standard for
Japanese destroyers, a standard followed by almost all Japanese
destroyers designed afterward. Presented here is the history of
their design, construction, and combat history, relying primarily
on original Japanese war-era source material, including numerous
diagrams and photos.
