Akatsuki (暁, Dawn) was the twenty-first Fubuki-class destroyer, or the lead ship of the Akatsuki class (if that sub-class is regarded as a separate class), built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the inter-war period. When introduced into service, these ships were the most powerful destroyers in the world. They remained formidable weapons systems well into the Pacific War.
Akatsuki was assigned to Destroyer Division 6 along with her sister ships, Inazuma, Hibiki, and Ikazuchi, under the IJN 1st Fleet. She was taking part in maneuvers off Ise Bay on 1 August 1935 when she collided with the submarine I-6 at 14:27. I-6 suffered damage to her periscopes.
Like others of her type, Akatsuki was modified during the middle 1930s, both to correct design deficiencies and to enhance combat capabilities. She participated in operations in the Second Sino-Japanese War, which broke out in July 1937.
All four destroyers are in this map.
Scale: 2/1
Game version: Java 1.18.2
