Yūgumo — Japan Tech Tree Tier IX Destroyer.

The improved Kagerō class was built under the fleet expansion programs of 1939 and 1941. It comprised as many as 19 destroyers. Unlike their predecessors, these ships featured a new type of gun mount. Yūgumo was laid down in June 1940 and commissioned the next year. The destroyer participated in the Battles of Midway, the Eastern Solomons, and the Santa Cruz Islands. She also transported reinforcements to Guadalcanal. On October 7, 1943, Yūgumo was sunk by American destroyers near the island of Vella Lavella.
