In 1928, a newly commissioned Japanese destroyer would change the way the Imperial Navy, and navies across the world viewed their destroyers. At 1,750 tons standard displacement, the IJN packed their new ship with six 5-inch guns in three waterproof mounts and three 24-inch triple-torpedo tube mounts with a reload for each tube for a grand total of eighteen torpedoes, a significant increase in armament compared to her contemporaries. The world had been introduced to IJN Fubuki, first of the so-called special-type destroyers.
