Mutsuki — Japan Tech Tree Tier V Destroyer.

The "enhanced Kamikaze"-class destroyers were the last Japanese destroyers to have a torpedo launcher positioned ahead of the bow superstructure. Twelve destroyers were built between 1924 and 1927, and all were lost during World War II. Mutsuki, which entered service in March 1926, participated in the Sino-Japanese War. During World War II, she participated in the Battle of Wake Island and the landings on the Solomon Islands and New Guinea. On August 24, 1942, the ship was sunk near the Solomon Islands after being hit by an aerial bomb.

Pros

• Low detectability
• Long torpedo range
