Performance

History

Yūdachi was a Shiratsuyu-class destroyer that saw extensive service throughout the beginning of World War II in the Pacific. When the war began, she served as part of Destroyer Division 2, and assisted in several invasions: the Philippines, Lingayen, Tarakan, Balikpapan, and Cebu. She even participated in the Battle of the Java Sea; however, Yūdachi is most known for her combat in the Solomon Islands. During the Solomon Islands campaign, Yūdachi made several Tokyo Express supply runs, sank two American converted Wickes-class destroyer-transports, and bombarded Henderson airfield. On November 13, 1942, Yūdachi more or less started the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal by nearly running into a US destroyer. During the battle, Yūdachi and her crew were separated from most of the Japanese forces, but scored a torpedo hit on a US heavy cruiser. Quite famously, the Yūdachi was disabled in the battle but setup a makeshift sail in futile defiance. The ship had to be abandoned, and the crew was rescued. Yūdachi was sunk shortly afterward.

• The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal has been quoted as “a barroom brawl after the lights had been shot out.”
• For her actions around the Solomon Islands, Yūdachi earned the nickname “Nightmare of Solomon.”
