=== History === | |||
''Nenohi'' was the second of six ''Hatsuharu''-class destroyers designed by Japan to be a destroyer that had the firepower to match a ''Fubuki''-class or ''Akatsuki''-class while being cheaper. They could not have their cake and eat it too, as the ''Hatsuharu''-class was very top-heavy while having poor structural integrity meaning they would be very unstable. Following the ''Tomozuru'' Incident where the ''Chidori''-class torpedo boat ''Tomozuru'' capsized in rough weather because of instability problems stemming from the ship being designed to have heavy guns while having a light body to skirt around naval treaties. This caused the IJN to modify ''Nenohi'' and several other ships that had similar issues to improve stability. When World War II began ''Nenohi'' saw service mostly in Southeast Asia where she participated in the invasion of French Indochina, was made flagship of Destroyer Division 21, and invaded the Dutch East Indies and was a part of Operation AL. ''Nenohi'' ran out of luck and on July 4, 1942 she was sank by a torpedo launched from the American submarine USS ''Triton'' around Agattu Island taking 188 men down with her. | |||
