The enemy is alerted that a bearing has been taken. Shimakaze has access to Type 1, 2, 5, or 6 Camouflage ; the first three acquired via credits.
Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum as they reduce detectability range by sea. Shimakaze was named for the previous speed record holder, a Minekaze class of the same name.
With the goal of producing a new generation of high speed destroyer, Shimakaze's design featured increased length and displacement, allowing new high pressure boilers and turbines to be installed, which later allowed Shimakaze to reach a speed of nearly 41 knots at overload power during trials. Because of the larger size, it was possible to install three quintuple mm torpedo launchers which gave the heaviest torpedo broadside of any destroyer before her.
Shimakaze was laid down on 8 August in the Maizuru Naval Arsenal, a Japanese Navy-run shipyard which specialized in vessels destroyer class and smaller. However, that too was cancelled due to a string of Japanese defeats that followed shortly after Midway.
Nevertheless, the original Shimakaze prototype was continued to completion though with many delays and was commissioned into service on 10 May Because Shimakaze was an experimental type, she was not given the highest priority in construction, however the delays did mean that she was completed with a Type 22 surface and air search radar set, one of the first in for destroyers in the Japanese navy.
Unfortunately, it was a very difficult decision for the IJN on where to place her into their formations, thus she became more or less independent of destroyer squadrons. In service, Shimakaze saw her first sortie in July as the radar guide radar picket and screen flagship for the Kiska evacuation under the cover of fog. Two days later, American forces shelled rocky island with thousands of rounds and landed over 34, men, only to discover that the Japanese had disappeared.
Shimakaze received some upgrades during her short career, such as modification to the characteristic bridge wind deflector and wheelhouse windows, receiving a Type 13 air search radar set, and eventually having a total fit of twenty-eight 28 25mm autocannons. Though capable of high elevation, the Refitted, Shimakaze rendezvoused with the Combined Fleet, operating as an attachment destroyer and was deployed with Yamato and Musashi during the Battle of the Philippine Sea in the attempt to reinforce Biak in June However, in the Battle of Leyte Gulf several months later, Shimakaze never participated due to rescuing survivors from the sunken Musashi.
Days later, even though Shimakaze was part of the fleet which that surprised the American escort carriers off Samar on 25 October , she was placed away from the fight again: this time to pick up survivors from the heavy cruiser Maya which had been sunk a day earlier by torpedoes from the American submarine USS Dace. Her crowded decks and now heavily loaded state made it impractical for her to be utilized as a combatant. Though an impressive destroyer design, Shimakaze was lost on 11 November after a short time in service, while helping escort a troop convoy to Ormoc to reinforce the remaining Japanese forces in the Philippines.
Fighting against hundreds of carrier planes from American Task Force 38, Shimakaze and three other destroyers were sunk with their convoy. See here for links to Update notes. Welcome to Wargaming. Ship Discussion. View Source View history. Jump to: navigation , search.
