About Shimakaze

Shimakaze is a Tier X Japan Destroyer (Tech tree ship) in World of Warships (WoWS). This page provides full Shimakaze stats including 3D armor model, main battery dispersion and AP penetration curves, available modules and upgrades, and recommended captain skills and builds for WoWS players.

An experimental fast "cruiser destroyer" boasting a heavy-duty power plant, reinforced AA defenses, and powerful torpedo armament. Improved performance was to be achieved by utilizing new boilers. Shimakaze was laid down in August 1941 and entered service in May 1943. She was to have been the lead ship in a series of 16 destroyers, but no sister ships were ever completed. Shimakaze participated in the evacuation of the Aleutian Islands, escorted convoys between 1943 and 1944, and engaged in the Battles of Leyte Gulf and Ormoc Bay.
