Background
About the ship
The Shiratsuyu-class destroyers were an upgraded version of the Hatsuharu class. They featured a deeper draft and were equipped with two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers. The lead ship of the class was laid down in November 1933 and entered service in 1936. She escorted convoys in the Western Pacific, as well as participated in the Battle of Midway, the campaigns on the Solomon and Marshall Islands, the First Battle of Guadalcanal, and the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay.
