Tier X Destroyer Special

Japan

Hayate

A hypothetical design for a Shimakaze-class destroyer armed with a 127 mm dual-purpose twin-gun mount. Its distinctive feature was the use of fixed ammunition and a greater rate of fire. This would have enhanced the ship's capability to engage enemy aircraft at high altitudes and granted her an advantage in firepower against opposing light forces.
