Ship:Shigure

13,000 doubloons

Shigure — Japan Premium Tier VIII Destroyer.

Shigure, one of ten Shiratsuyu-class destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy, had built up a distinguished service record by the time she was sunk by an American submarine in January 1945. During the Pacific War, she earned a reputation for being "lucky" or "unsinkable" after emerging from several battles with no damage and twice surviving as the sole ship of a Japanese force.

Pros
