''Fūjin'' is a Wargaming construction as no member of the ''Kamikaze'' class was ever given the name ''Fūjin.'' However, the name ''Fūjin'' is derived from a reversal of ''Kamikaze's'' name in Japanese kanji. | |

Fūjin — Japanese special premium Tier V destroyer.
A second group of 9 Minekaze-class destroyers, also known as the Kamikaze class, was built between 1921 and 1925. The ships featured an increased draft to improve their seaworthiness. Kamikaze was laid down under the name Destroyer No. 1 in 1921. Seven years later, the destroyer received her own name. In World War II, she was involved in the Aleutian Islands Campaign and escorted ship convoys to remote outposts in the Kuril Islands. In 1945, Kamikaze was reassigned to the Combined Fleet, and she formed part of the escort for both Ise-class battleships as they sailed from Singapore to Japan.

Player Opinion
Performance
Fujin is identical to the Kamikaze and roughly analagous to the Tier V tech tree ship Minekaze, except with a spooky Halloween-themed camouflage. She has powerful, fast reloading torpedoes that travel 7km at 68 kts with a maximum damage of 14,400 points, making her a serious threat to any ship she can spot. With a base detection of 6.2km (without camouflage or a captain with Concealment Expert), she has a significant spotting advantage over anything else in her tier that isn't a fellow Japanese destroyer, allowing her to deliver her torpedoes to unsuspecting targets.
Her guns are far more situational, with four 120mm barrels that have a 10 second reload and do 2000 points of damage per shell, making them only useful against other Japanese destroyers in an even fight. Engaging an American or Russian destroyer in a straight up 1v1 gunfight is a one-way ticket back to the Port screen. The guns are decent for harassing other ships using island or smoke cover, but captains must be very careful not to draw unwanted attention to themselves. Mobility-wise, Fujin handles like most other destroyers, with 37.5 knot top speed and a rudder shift time of 2.9 second and a 550m turning radius, faster than most American destroyers at tier, but slower than the Russian destroyers.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Fujin from the NA forumsPros:
- Better turret traverse than Minekaze.
- Bigger health pool than Minekaze.
- As a premium ship, it makes more credits and experience than Minekaze.
Cons:
- Worse anti-aircraft suite — what little there is of it — than Minekaze.
- Slightly slower and worse rudder shift than Minekaze.

Camouflage
As a premium ship, Fujin comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
Fujin deploys smoke as she starts a fire on an enemy Bogue aircraft carrier.
Fujin and Furutaka make an excellent team.
