The Akatsuki-class destroyer was a class of four destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. According to most sources, they are regarded as a sub-class of the Fubuki class, partly because the Imperial Japanese Navy itself kept the improvements made a secret, and did not officially designate these four destroyers as a separate class.

Hibiki was the twenty-second of twenty-four Fubuki-class destroyers, or the second of the Akatsuki class, built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the inter-war period. When introduced into service, these ships were the most powerful destroyers in the world. They remained formidable ships well into the Pacific War. Hibiki was among the few destroyers to survive the war. In 1947; two years after she was struck from the Japanese navy list, Hibiki was transferred to the Soviet Navy as a war reparation, and was later sunk as a target practice somewhere in the 1970's.
