排水量2500吨,航速39节,装127mm双装炮3门,机枪6挺,五联装鱼雷管3座.只有岛风1艘.1943年竣工.是出于设计40节高速驱逐舰的目的建成的实验舰.用于鱼雷攻击高速突击战,防空反潜能力有所欠缺.
岛风号是太平洋战争后期，日本海军开发出的高速驱逐舰。One word sums up this magnificent vessel:
power. She had a top speed of almost 40 knots (that's really moving,
people), 6 x 5" guns, and a main torpedo battery of 15 (count 'em)
24" tubes. She was, in my opinion, the most powerful destroyer of
the war -- the superb U.S. Allen Sumner had comparable gun power
and better fire control, and the French Mogadors had the same speed
and superior 8 x 5.5" gunpower (not to mention almost 1,000 tons
of full load displacement -- nearly a light cruiser), but neither
of these classe
s
had the kind of torpedo battery capable of scuppering an entire
squadron of opponents at a crack. Of course, because of her outsized
powerplant she was far too expensive to be built in any sort of
quantity (Japan was losing the war big-time by the time she was
launched), and her sixteen sister ships were never laid down. What
a pity.
The SHIMAKAZE was planned and built as the experimental prototype
of a new class of heavy fleet destroyer, designated "Type C." Sixteen
other units were ordered but later cancelled due to more pressing
wartime needs. Though never repeated, SHIMAKAZE was a successful
design, combining large size (some 25 feet longer than YUGUMO) and
heavy torpedo armament (three quintuple sets of 24" tubes, the most
powerful such broadside ever mounted on a Japanese destroyer) with
a 40-knot top speed. The latter was thanks to new high-pressure,
high-temperature boilers which developed nearly 80,000 shaft horsepower
and would have propelled all future Japanese destroyer designs,
had circumstances permitted their construction.
All experimental projects were set aside at the beginning of the
war in favor of more urgent work, so SHIMAKAZE, though laid down
in July of 1941, was not completed until the spring of 1943. The
delays in her construction did, however, enable her to be fitted
with the very latest equipment, and SHIMAKAZE was one of the first
Imperial warships to mount radar when completed.
因为同时代的日本海军没有一艘驱逐舰能匹敌他的性能，岛风号未编入任何驱逐舰队，但曾多次编入舰队参加海战，直到1944年被美军击沉在菲律宾海域。
