Overview
The third batch of "special type" destroyers featured a slightly shorter hull and reduced displacement. This was achieved by boosting the steam capacity of the boilers, which in turn led to a reduction in their quantity. Akatsuki was laid down in February 1930 and was assigned to Destroyer Division 6 two years later. During World War II, she covered the Japanese landings in Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and the Philippines, and she participated in the Solomon Islands campaign. In 1942, Akatsuki was sunk during the Battle of Guadalcanal by a task force comprising U.S. Navy cruisers and destroyers.
