Torpedo Squadrons are the true blossoms of the navy!

In gun and torpedo battles,

All of the Kagerou- and Yuugumo-class are fleet destroyers and were designated "Type-A" in their plans.

The age of

airpower!!

Anti-Air

All the Akizuki-class, which were designed as close anti-air escorts for carriers, are "Type-B".

But the next age is one of ultrahigh speed!

Shimakaze-san, who is fundamentally a fleet destroyer but served as a prototype for ultrahigh speed, was a "Type-C". Her class was also meant to carry an unprecedented number of torpedoes.

toward the end of the war, a Type-D that specialized as anti-air and anti-submarine fleet escorts. Matsu-class destroyers.

Remember, these four designations are not a ranking of the destroyers, okay? Well, just remember them like your ABCs.
