This volume will detail the history, weapons and tactics of the
Japanese destroyers built before the war. This includes the famous
Fubuki class (called "Special Type" by the Japanese, which were,
when completed in the late 1920's, the most powerful class of
destroyers in the world. This design forced all other major navies
to follow suite and provided the basic design for the next many
classes of Imperial Navy destroyers. This book will also cover the
three classes built before the Special Type which were based on a
German World War I design as well as two classes built after the
advent of the Special Type. All of these ships had a rich history
as they fought from the first battles of the Pacific War up until
the very end when several accompanied the superbattleship Yamato on
her death sortie. The final part of the book will be an analysis of
the destroyer designs covered in the book which will include an
examination of their strengths and weaknesses. The success (or lack
of success) of these designs will be discussed and they will be
compared to comparable Allied destroyer designs.
