Ship:Umikaze

II

60,000

Umikaze — Japan Tech Tree Tier II Destroyer.

The lessons from the Russo-Japanese War revealed that 300-ton destroyers were not suitable for open sea operations. Japan embarked on a path to create bigger destroyers, beginning with two Umikaze-class warships modeled after British ships of the same type. They were the first warships to be equipped with steam turbines. The lead ship, Umikaze, commissioned in September 1911, saw active duty in World War I and engaged in the pursuit of Admiral Graf Spee's squadron.

Pros

Fast reloading torpedoes.
High concealment and upgraded torpedo range give a 2.4 km leeway for torpedo runs.
Very fast compared to other ships it will normally face.

Cons

Severely lacking in gun firepower due to low number of guns with a slow turret rotation speed and rate of fire.
