Ship Overview

All Ships

 Minegumo — Japanese • Premium • Tier VIII • Destroyer.

An Asashio-class destroyer. Ten ships in this series were built between 1935 and 1939, following a design created after Japan departed from international treaties aimed at restricting naval armament. In the Pacifc War, Minegumo played a role in the invasions of Malaya, the Philippines, and the Dutch East Indies. She also took part in the Battle of the Java Sea and frequently transported reinforcements as part of the Tokyo Express.

Minegumo was released as a chain bundle reward during the Operation Piñata update.
