The first ocean-going destroyers of the new generation. Two destroyers were built under the shipbuilding program of 1907. At the moment of completion they were among the most powerful ships of the type. However, they were too expensive for large series. At the beginning of World War I, both destroyers participated in chase for the German squadron of Admiral von Spee. In 1930 the ships were converted to minesweepers and in 1936 put out of service.
The Umikaze-class destroyers are a Tier 2 ship in the Japanese Destroyer Tech tree.

Historical Info
The Umikaze-class destroyers proved to be largely experimental ships. The use of Parsons steam turbines pushed the design to the limits of capability of contemporary engineering and production technology, and the engines were plagued with maintenance issues, as well as tremendous fuel consumption. In an effort to reduce running expenses and to increase range, the boilers were modified from all heavy oil to two heavy oil and four coal-fired boilers. Even with the modification, the Umikaze vessels were largely retained for coastal patrol duties.
The Umikaze ships were rated at first-class destroyers on August 28, 1912, and served to June 1, 1930 when both were converted to minesweepers. Both were subsequently scrapped in 1936.
