Akizuki — Japanese Tech Tree Tier VII Destroyer.

One of the most sophisticated destroyers in the Japanese Navy. This ship was specifically designed to provide anti-aircraft defense. Due to her significantly increased dimensions, she was equipped with new dual-purpose main gun mounts that had a very high rate of fire. Among the drawbacks of the ship were the relatively weak torpedo armament and an insufficiently high speed.

Entered Service: 1942
Ships in a series: 13

Ship Traits
Sure Shot: Shells with a good ballistic trajectory maintain velocity, making aiming easier.	Repeater: Equipped or can be equipped with Torpedo Reload Booster.	Nimble Aim: Above average main battery traverse speed. Gives an edge in close quarters combat.
