Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

History

Design

The Chidori (Japanese for plover bird) was the first boat of the Chidori-class torpedo boats (Torpedo boat here has a different meaning than a small motor boat, closer to the meaning of destroyer). She was laid down in 1931 at the Maizuru Naval Construction Department.

Service

In December 1936, the Torpedo flotilla 21 was formed with the four boats of the same class and advanced toward China, engaged in landing support and blockade operations. After the start of the Pacific War, they supported the strategy of the Japanese Southern expansion. After that, the flotilla was disbanded and Chidori was engaged in convoy escort. Although she was active until the end of the war, the Chidori was sunk by a torpedo of the US submarine "Tilefish" off the coast of Omaezaki in Southern Japan on December 22, 1944.

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
