Special

Shinonome — Japanese special premium Tier VI destroyer.

One of the first Fubuki-class destroyers, with an incredible striking power from her three 610 mm torpedo launchers. The ship significantly surpassed preceding-class destroyers in terms of artillery firepower. However, her anti-aircraft defenses were weak, which was characteristic of all Japanese destroyers.

Shinonome is available only as a reward for completing the Honorable Service campaign.

Player Opinion

Performance

Shinonome is a Tier VI premium Japanese destroyer. Astute captains will immediately see notice her similarities to sister ship Fubuki.

Forgoing all of the intricate details like anti-aircraft rating and handling characteristics, any comparison of the two ships boils down to this: Fubuki has four guns in two twin mounts and 10.0 km torpedoes, while Shinonome has six guns in three twin mounts to go with 8.0 km range torpedoes. Digging deeper, we see that Fubuki’s torpedoes not only travel farther, they hit harder: over 16,000 rated damage each compared to Shinonome’s 14,400 damage apiece. While this makes Fubuki’s torpedoes more dangerous than Shinonome’s, Shinonome’s torpedoes are nothing to sneeze at. They are a comfortable middle ground between Fubuki’s two different torpedo modules, retaining the lower damage output of the Type 8 mod. 1's, but picking up some additional range as well as speed. With her Type 10 camouflage equipped, Shinonome has a detection radius of 6.8 km, making the 8.0 km range of her fish more than workable (especially if her commander has the commander skill Concealment Expert).

Both sister ships share the Japanese destroyer line's slow turret traverse; this weakness can make fighting at close range tricky, especially against American destroyers and their quick-turning guns. Shinonome gets more gun barrels, but has a slower reload time and less range. While she won't be winning many gun duels, the extra barrels give her a bigger damage potential per salvo against weakened enemies. Shinonome’s anti-aircraft suite is even more pathetic than Fubuki’s; captains are advised to simply disable her AA guns and never turn them on.

Overall, captains who are familiar with the playstyle of the Japanese destroyer line will feel right at home in Shinonome.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Shinonome from the NA forums

Pros:

Hard hitting HE shells
Excellent ballistics and accuracy
Carries one more turret compared to Fubuki
Good torpedoes - good speed, quick reload and decent range
Three triple torpedo launchers, same as Fubuki
Quick rudder shift time and good turn radius
Good concealment

Cons:

Low top speed
Very poor main battery rate of fire and turret traverse speed
Very short main battery range
Nonexistent AA, nigh helpless against planes
Can only be obtained by completing the Honorable Service campaign

Research

As a premium ship, Shinonome doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Like her sister ship, there are only a few good options for upgrades on Shinonome. Main Armaments Modification 1 is the best pick for Upgrade Slot 1, while Propulsion Modification 1 is recommended in Upgrade Slot 4. Propulsion Modification 2 is the best pick of a sorry lot for Upgrade Slot 5. Upgrade Slot 2 offers either Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2; either offers a minor boost to Shinonome’s main battery.

Commander Skills

The following information is provided for players who wish to create a permanent captain for the ship. Those players who are retraining captains or using the ship to gain extra experience for a captain should consult the page relevant to the ship to which the captain will be assigned.

Consumables

Shinonome can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Smoke Generator 
Slot 3: Engine Boost

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Shinonome comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

As a premium ship, Shinonome’s main role is to provide faster captain retraining and comfortable gameplay for the player. Therefore, the recommended flags to mount on Shinonome are Equal Speed Charlie London, Zulu Hotel, and Dragon Flag for maximum captain retraining speed. Additionally, Zulu and Papa Papa can also be mounted if the player wishes to get extra credits and free experience from using Shinonome’s premium benefits.

For other recommendations, Juliet Charlie should be mounted if the player dislikes detonations or is feeling unlucky. Sierra Mike should also be mounted if the player is not satisfied with her base 35 kt max speed. And November Foxtrot should be mounted if the player heavily relies on using their consumables or deems it necessary to use all the consumables.

-Due to ''Shinonome''’s low top speed, it's highly recommended to mount premium [[Ship:Consumables#Engine_Boost|Engine Boost II]] for better escaping from enemy gunboat destroyers (such as ''[[Farragut]]'' or ''[[Ognevoi]]'').  Premium [[Ship:Consumables#Smoke_Generator|Smoke Generator II]] is also highly recommended for similar reasons. Lastly, premium [[Ship:Consumables#Damage_Control_Party|Damage Control Party II]] is always recommended because ''Shinonome'' is a destroyer with a high chance of incapacitation of vital modules (such as her engine or rudder) when under fire.

 Throughout the early 1920’s, Japan set about designing new destroyers with extended operational range, higher speeds, and heavier weapons than any other destroyer afloat. These designs would ultimately culminate into the “special type” destroyers which would become the standard for all future Japanese destroyer projects. The triple 610mm torpedo mounts from the ''[[Mutsuki]]'' class destroyers were retained but their location on the ships were changed. Rather than mounting one launcher on the bow and the remainder astern, all torpedo mounts were kept amidship. This prevented the mounts from being affected by seawater and improved seagoing characteristics. Additionally, main gun caliber was increased to 127mm and for the first time on a Japanese destroyer, guns were mounted in enclosed, weatherproof gun houses.
-As the designs for the warships neared completion, it became evident that the ships would be over the limit of 1,400 tons displacement. Not desiring to reduce the armament, other components of the ships were reduced or removed instead instead. Lighter, less powerful machinery was carried, anti-aircraft armament was decreased, magazine storage was reduced, and lighter metal alloys were used during construction. As a result of these changes, the new ''[[Fubuki]]'' class ships were significantly slower than their proposed top speed of 40 knots. These changes also resulted in a significant reduction of structural integrity which would become apparent in the Fourth Fleet incident during which several “special type” destroyers suffered severe damage to their hulls in a typhoon. Following this, all “special type” destroyers were modified further. The magazine storage and superstructures of the ships were reduced and all hulls were strengthened.

 Additional modifications occurred before and during World War II. Shields were mounted on the torpedo launchers to further guard against weather and seawater. The second turret was removed in favor of additional small caliber anti-aircraft weaponry, and additional 25mm and 13.2mm guns were added later in the war. Near the end of the war, all surviving units began to receive additional radar systems.

 ====Service====
 ''Shinonome'' was commissioned in May 1928. Her interwar service was typical and unremarkable. Assigned to DesDiv (Destroyer Division) 12 of DesRon (Destroyer Squadron) 3 in the First Fleet, she sailed for Hainan Island in November 1941 to prepare for imminent hostilities. On 4 December 1941, DesDiv 12 escorted an invasion convoy destined for Khota Bharu in Malaya, remaining on station through 11 December, then returning to Camranh Bay. On 16 December, DesDiv 12 again covered an invasion convoy headed for British Borneo. On 17 December, ''Shinonome'' was attacked by a Dutch seaplane which scored two bomb hits.  One detonated her aft magazine and ''Shinonome'' sank with all her crew, one of the first Japanese warships lost during World War II.
+===Historical Inaccuracies===
+* The 127 mm main battery guns are actually dual-purpose.
+* Light green camouflage was only applied on aircraft carriers towards the end of the war; ''Shinonome'' was sunk in December 1941.
+* ''Shinonome'''s name, written in ''katakana'' on both sides of the hull are missing (see Historical Gallery).
+* The infobox image actually depicts ''Fubuki'' prior to the removal of her original (A) hull. ''Shinonome'' does not have an AA gun tub behind 'A' turret, and the AA platform between the funnels shows two twin 25 mm guns instead of a single twin 13 mm machine gun.
