Asashio

The design of the Asashio-class destroyers underwent substantial changes compared to the preceding Shiratsuyu class, as the latter's speed and firepower were inferior to those of the Fubuki class. Meeting the requirements necessitated an increase in displacement, a change made possible due to Japan's decision to disregard the limitations set by the London Naval Treaty. The lead ship, Asashio, commissioned in August 1937, played a role in amphibious operations in the Philippines and Malaya, engaged in the Battle of Badung Strait, and participated in the Battles of Midway and Guadalcanal.
