Trivia and history

She represents the V7 Project, which fixes the existing Akizuki-class destroyers speed, performance and Anti Submarine Warfare; retaining the same rapid firing 10cm Type 98 with upgraded Anti air including the 40mm Type 5 Bofors installed in the existing class with the addition of the real life 610 mm quad torpedo launchers with sextuple (six-tube) launchers. Such a prototype launcher was indeed meant for Shimakaze but weight issues prevented this, while the intended real-life improved/simplified Akizukis were cancelled in mid-1944.
