Kagero-class destroyer. With Amatsukaze on the night of 1 March 1942 she depth-charged the submarine Perch. They left her crippled and did not sink her. At Empress Augusta Bay, Myoko collided with her and cut off her bow. American destroyers then finished her. Claxton, Spence, Stanly, and Thatcher were in that fire. Not credited to one of them.
