|Anno=&amp;lt;!-- you can write below short description for the ship. it will replace default once. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a good balance of her main characteristics, ''Kagero'' 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 torpedo armament power.&lt;br /&gt;

|Performance=&amp;lt;!-- write text about performance in battles below --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the Tier VIII entry on the IJN &amp;quot;torpedo boat&amp;quot; branch. Captains who have moved up from ''[[Akatsuki]]'' will find ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' familiar in many ways.  Both should be accustomed to the A-X-Y turret arrangement of the main battery, her handling characteristics are nearly identical (similar turning circle radius and rudder shift time), and her anti-aircraft suite is still hardly worth mentioning.  So, what's new?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For starters, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s guns reload a little faster, though they do give up some range.  This gives her more of a fighting chance when cornered by an enemy gunboat destroyer (such as ''[[Benson]]''), especially if said enemy is already wounded.  With that said, however, captains who have progressed this far up the line should know by now when to hang in a gun duel against an enemy destroyer and when discretion is the better part of valor &amp;amp;mdash; never court a gunfight with an American or Russian destroyer with lots of health.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s detection radius is improved over ''Akatsuki''; not only is her base detection radius of 6.84 km the lowest of all high-tier Japanese destroyers, she can equip {{Concealment System Modification 1}} for a radius of 6.2 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has some fairly glaring deficiencies compared to her counterparts at Tier VIII, though.  Her speed is fairly pedestrian, her anti-aircraft guns are ineffective at shooting down enemy planes, and her main battery reload and turret traverse times are painfully slow.  Unlike ''Akatsuki'', she has two quad torpedo launchers, foregoing the tactical flexibility of three triple torpedo launchers.  As nasty as her upgraded F3 torpedoes are — and they hit very, ''very'' hard — their reload time means that getting off more than a few salvos in a match is tough.  Luckily, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can give up {{Smoke Generator}} in exchange for {{Torpedo Reload Booster}}.  This allows her to force an 8-second reload time on her torpedoes once every four minutes.  Given her best-in-tier detection radius, this will be a worthwhile gamble for many captains.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Japanese destroyer line becomes challenging to excel in at high tiers, but ''Kagero'' provides all the tools necessary for captains to do just that; they need only bring patience and a willingness to learn how to handle her.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|Pros=&amp;lt;!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lowest detection range of all Tier VIII destroyers.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fast, powerful torpedoes that hit like freight trains.&lt;br /&gt;
* Good handling; same turning circle as her predecessors, quick rudder shift.&lt;br /&gt;
* Gains access to {{Torpedo Reload Booster}}, allowing her to launch 16 torpedoes within ~10 seconds.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|Cons=&amp;lt;!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mediocre top speed of 35 knots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Main battery is slightly improved from ''[[Akatsuki]]'', but is still nothing special.&lt;br /&gt;
* Painfully long torpedo reload time, regardless of which torpedoes are equipped.&lt;br /&gt;
* Has to choose between {{Torpedo Reload Booster}} or {{Smoke Generator}}, unlike ''[[Akizuki]]''.&lt;br /&gt;

|Research=&amp;lt;!-- write text about priority sequence of research below --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Availability of researchable upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is as follows: &lt;br /&gt;
# '''Hull:'''  Upgrade to Hull (B) for improvement in several characteristics, including +15% health.  Research of this module unlocks progression to IX ''[[Yugumo]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Torpedoes:''' Upgrade to Type93 mod. 2 for swift, truly deadly, fish.&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Gun Fire Control System:'''  Upgrade to Type8 mod. 2 for an extra 10% main battery range. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captains going for a hybrid build might prefer the Gun Fire Control System module earlier.  Captain's pick for this one, there's not really a wrong answer.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|Upgrades=&amp;lt;!-- write text about best upgrades below --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
:* '''Slot 1''': {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
:* '''Slot 2''': {{Engine Room Protection}}&lt;br /&gt;
:* '''Slot 3''': {{Torpedo Tubes Modification 1}}&amp;amp;nbsp;'''&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;'''&lt;br /&gt;
:* '''Slot 4''': {{Propulsion Modification 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
:* '''Slot 5''': {{Concealment System Modification 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 further protects her tubes from incapacitation and adds 5 kts to torpedo speed.  {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}} and {{Main Battery Modification 2}} help her weak artillery if a hybrid build is desired.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Yukikaze underway 1939.jpg|none|frame|x350px|link=|''Kagero''-class destroyer ''Yukikaze'' underway, December 1939.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Design===&lt;br /&gt;
After the success of the ''Asashio''-class of destroyers were venerated in their proficiency and capability, the Imperial Japanese determined that their next two classes of Type A destroyers would be based of the work established by this design. The first of the Type A classes became the ''Kagero''-class destroyers. The design choices seemed justified, the ''Kagero''-class compared very favourably with their American contemporaries. The Japanese ships had a heavier main artillery setup; although the US mounts had the benefit of dual-purpose capability. As well, although American destroyers had more torpedo tubes, Japanese destroyers had the benefit of reloads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to streamline design time as much as possible, the ''Kagero''-class were nearly identical in hull design to their predecessors. Superficially, everything - even the superstructure layout - was identical to the ''Asashio''-class. Design-wise, one of the more noticeable differences was the placement of the torpedo storage rooms; in the ''Kagero''-class they were placed forward of their respective launchers. Propulsion wise, the new class used the same layout: 3 Kampon boilers feeding to two Kampon turbines. The greater efficiency of the newer boilers generated 2,000 shaft horsepower more than their predecessors, but this did not make any marked difference to the speed. Overall, the ''Kagero''-class had a slightly greater tonnage and a slightly wider beam; in order to improve stability. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As her predecessor, ''Kagero''-class destroyers reused the identical armament layout as the Special Type (''[[Fubuki]]''-class) destroyers. Six 127mm guns found in 3 twin-gun mounts; one forward and a super firing pair aft. ''Kagero''-class used the Type C turret mounts for their guns; which has the distinct disadvantage of not possessing the ability to angle high enough to engage aircraft, but they were fully enclosed and were lighter than previous mounts. Located amidships were the 2 quadruple-torpedo launchers in their enclosed mounts. each were provided with one reload each. For anti aircraft defence, the destroyers were armed with 25mm auto-cannons in single and dual mounts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout the Second World War, the ''Kagero''-class underwent constant service modifications. From late 1942 to 1943, further AA mounts were added, and the installed dual mounts were upgraded to triple mounts. From late 1943 to 1944, the X turret was removed to make more space for 25mm mounts. As well, many scuttles were welded over to increase hull integrity. As front-line ships, ''Kagero''-class received priority for radar installation. In early 1944 a radar room was built into the foremast with a No.22 radar set. Later in 1944 a No.13 set was installed in the aft mainmast. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In total, 19 destroyers of this class were built for the Imperial Japanese Navy; the first 15 ships proposed for the 1937 Naval shipbuilding programme, and the last 4 spilled into the 1939 programme. &lt;br /&gt;
