The last class of Japanese "small" destroyers comprised eight Wakatake-class ships built between 1921 and 1923. They effectively constituted an enlarged Momi class. The lead ship of the series was laid down in December 1921. She participated in the Sino-Japanese War, patrolling the coast of China. During World War II, she served as an escort ship. The ship was sunk on March 30, 1944, during an Allied air raid on Palau.
