-'''Pros'''
-* Extremely long torpedo range, 20km. Even if it doesnt hit the desired target you can still hit someone behind him.
-* 3 quintuple torpedo tubes make it difficult to dodge at close range, once you can have up to 15 torpedoes in the water.
-* Absurd torpedo potential damage (over 300000).
-* Surprisingly decent artillery.
-?
-'''Cons'''
-* Relatively high surface detection range (7.6km).
-* Dropping torpedoes at maximum range makes it difficult to successfully hit a single target, once the time it takes for the torpedoes to get there the target will almost definitely have moved.
-* Wide torpedo spread makes it difficult to hit a ship if not launched at it's broadside.

-|History=The Shimakaze (島風) was laid down on the 8th of August 1941 in the Maizuru Naval Arsenal, a IJN-ran shipyard which specializes in vessels destroyer class and smaller. The new design combines large size, firepower, and heavy torpedo armament (one could argue that these armament heavy designs are influenced by IJN’s Decisive Battle Doctrine or Kantai Kessen) with incredible speed up to 40-knots.<br />

-The IJN originally intended to develop 16 additional destroyers of this experimental class, but hampered with the ill-fated Battle of Midway (1942) and Japan’s limited resources and small industrial capacity, the project was deemed too expensive thus cancelled and passed on to an upgraded Akizuki design. However, that too was cancelled due to a string of Japanese defeats that followed shortly after Midway.
-?
-Nevertheless, the original Shimakaze prototype was continued to be built (though with many delays) and was completed on the 10th of May 1943 and fitted with state of the art technology that the IJN could provide at the time. But, it was very difficult decision for the IJN on where to place her into their formations, thus she became more or less independent of destroyer squadrons.
-?
-In service, she saw her first sortie in July 1943 as the radar guide and screen flagship for the Kiska evacuation under the cover of fog. Two days later, the Americans forces shelled rocky island with thousands of rounds and landed over 34,000 men, only to discover that the Japanese had disappeared. In early 1944, the Shimakaze underwent a refit, losing one of her 127mm gun battery in exchange for 28 25mm AA guns to counter the ever increasing role of naval aircrafts in the pacific theatre.
-?
-Refitted, the Shimakaze rendezvous with the Combined Fleet, operating as an attachment destroyer and was deployed with Yamato and Musashi during the Battle of the Philippine Sea in the attempt to reinforce Biak in June 1944. However in the Battle of Leyte Gulf several months later, the Shimakaze never participated and end up just picking survivors from the sunken Musashi.
-?
-Days later, even though Shimakaze was part of the fleet which that surprised the American escort carriers off Samar on 25 October 1944, she was placed away from the fight again. This time to pick up survivors from the heavy cruiser Maya which sunk a day earlier by torpedoes from the American submarine Dace. Her crowded decks and made it nearly impossible for any of her main armaments (particularly her torpedoes) to be used.
-?
-Though an impressive destroyer of its time, the Shimakaze was lost on the 11th of  November 1944, where she helped escort a troop convoy to Ormoc to reinforce the remaining Japanese forces in the Philippines. Fighting against hundreds of carrier planes from the American Task Force 38 under, the Shimakaze and three other destroyers were sunk with its convoy.

-|A single experimental destroyer prototype equipped with a new type of propulsion featuring high-pressure boilers that were able to develop nearly 80,000 horsepower. The destroyer was armed with three quintuple torpedo tubes, the most powerful torpedo armament carried by any ship of this type. The plans to build a class of similar destroyers were canceled due to the complexity of the propulsion system. Shimakaze saw action in the Pacific War and was used to evacuate a part of the crew from the heavily damaged Musashi battleship. The destroyer was sunk in 1944 during the Battle of Ormoc Bay..<br />

-The Shimakaze-class Destroyer is a Tier 10 ship and marks the end of the Japanese destroyer Tech Tree.
