Kamikaze R — Japan Premium Tier V Destroyer.

A second group of 9 Minekaze-class destroyers, also known as the Kamikaze class, was built between 1921 and 1925. The ships featured an increased draft to improve their seaworthiness. Kamikaze was laid down under the name Destroyer No. 1 in 1921. Seven years later, the destroyer received her own name. In World War II, she was involved in the Aleutian Islands Campaign and escorted ship convoys to remote outposts in the Kuril Islands. In 1945, Kamikaze was reassigned to the Combined Fleet, and she formed part of the escort for both Ise-class battleships as they sailed from Singapore to Japan.

Pros

Better turret traverse than Minekaze
Bigger health pool than Minekaze
Torpedoes are faster and deal more damage than Minekaze torpedoes
Has three turrets that turn frontally, as opposed to two on the Minekaze

Cons

Weak AA suite
Slightly slower and worse rudder shift than Minekaze
