Kagerō

{{Legends_Ship|ship=
|ispremium=0
|description=Due to a good balance of her main characteristics, Kagerō was the most successful destroyer design in the Imperial Japanese Navy. She had extremely long-range, high-speed, oxygen-fueled torpedoes that made her considerably superior to all ships of her type in terms of the power of her torpedo armament.

Player Opinion

-->|Pros=*Excellent concealment.
*Fast, powerful torpedoes that hit like freight trains.
*Good handling; same turning circle radius as her predecessors, quick rudder shift.
*Access to the Torpedo Reload Booster consumable, allowing her to launch 16 torpedoes within ~10 seconds.

|Cons=*Mediocre top speed of 35 knots.
*Main battery is slightly improved from [[Navy:Akatsuki|Akatsuki]], but is still nothing special.
*Has to choose between [[Navy:Consumables#Torpedo_Reload_Booster|Torpedo Reload Booster]][[File:Legends_TRB.png|20px|link=Navy:Consumables#Torpedo_Reload_Booster]]or [[Navy:Consumables#Smoke_Generator|Smoke Generator]][[File:Legends_Smoke_Generator.png|20px|link=Consumables#Smoke_Generator]], unlike [[Navy:Akizuki|Akizuki]].

|Performance=

|Changes=[https://wowslegends.com/blogs/entry/285-may-update-things-are-heating-up/ May 2021]

[https://wowslegends.com/blogs/entry/383-september-update-the-redinforcements/ The Redinforcements]
*Torpedo reload time reduced from 101 s to 91 s
