List of destroyers of Japan

The following is a list of destroyers and 1st class (steam) torpedo boats of Japan grouped by class or design. In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast and maneuverable yet long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet, convoy or battle group and defend them against smaller, powerful, short-range attackers. The Japanese torpedo boat ^[1] Kotaka of 1885 was "the forerunner of torpedo boat destroyers that appeared a decade later". ^[2] They were designed to Japanese specifications and ordered from the London Yarrow shipyards in 1885. The Yarrow shipyards, builder of the parts for the Kotaka, "considered Japan to have effectively invented the destroyer". ^[3]

Russo-Japanese War

These twenty-three 'turtle-back' destroyers, all authorised under the Ten Year Naval Expansion Programme of 1898, comprised six Ikazuchi class built by Yarrow ^[4] and six Murakumo class built by Thornycroft ^[5] in the UK, each carrying 1 × 12-pdr (aft) and 5 x 6-pdr guns and 2 × 18 in torpedo tubes, and followed by two larger ships from each of the same builders (the Shirakumo class from Thornycroft and the Akatsuki class from Yarrow), in which a second 12-pdr replaced the foremost 6-pdr, and finally by seven Harusame class built in Japan. All were later rated as 3rd Class destroyers (under 600 tons each). The programme also included sixteen First Class torpedo boats, included below (47 smaller 2nd and 3rd Class boats from this Programme are not included)

World War I

Before and during World War I, Japan established three grades of destroyers - the large (over 1,000 tons) 1st Class or ocean-going type, the medium (600 to 1,000 tons) 2nd Class type and the small (below 600 tons) 3rd Class type. Between 1904 and 1918, Japan built thirty-two 3rd Class destroyers (the Kamikaze class), twenty-two 2nd Class destroyers (the Sakura, Kaba, Momo and Enoki classes) and eight 1st Class destroyers (the Umikaze, Isokaze and Kawakaze classes). They also purchased two further 1st Class destroyers (the Urakaze class) built in the UK by Yarrow.

The Inter-War Period

From 1919 onwards, a series of destroyers were built regularly in Japan. No further 3rd Class ships were built after 1909, and only two further classes of 2nd Class ships (the Momi and Wakatake classes) were built by 1923, after which all were 1st Class. The ships of the Wakatake, Kamikaze and Mutsuki classes were initially given numbers rather than names, but names were assigned on 1 August 1928. The numbering system continued after 1928, but were not assigned to ships, which were all named.

Momi class — 21 ships

The total of 21 excludes 7 cancelled. (Warabi lost in August 1927; Momi, Kaya and Nashi scrapped by 1940, leaving 17 which served in the Pacific War)

6. The cancelled units, Torpedo boats #13 to #20 under the 1934 Programme, were projected to have been named Hatsutaka, Aotaka, Wakataka, Kumataka, Yamadori, Mizudori, Umidori and Komadori; however, no contracts were placed by the time the order was changed in 1937 in favour of Submarine chasers #4 to #11.
7. Cancelled ships were 3 from the 1941 Programme (#367 to #369), to have been named Kiyotsuki, Ōtsuki and Hazuki. The 1942 Programme included another 16 Type B ships of an improved 2,933 ton design (#770 to #785) but this entire programme was cancelled; instead the Modified 5th Naval Armaments Supplement Programme included another 23 Type B ships of an even more improved 2,701 ton design (#5061 to #5083) but these were all cancelled before being laid down.
8. Cancelled ships were 8 from 1941 Programme (#348 to #355). These would have been named Kiyokaze, Murakaze, Satokaze, Taekaze, Kawagiri, Tanigiri, Umagiri and Yamagiri. The Modified 5th Naval Armaments Supplement Programme included another 8 Type A ships of a slightly improved design (#5041 to #5048) but these were all cancelled before being laid down.
9. The 16 units were ordered as #733-#748 under the 1942 Programme but were cancelled without being laid down.
