Probably the most famous of the Japanese destroyers is the
Fubuki class, but I am interested in information on a smaller
group named, I believe, the Shimikaze.  It was a 40+ knot
destroyer with a high pressure steam turbine.  What was its
actual rated speed?  What was its armament?  All I remember is
lots of Torpedos (10?).  Any other info i.e. displacement,
launch, number in class, and sources of info would be great.
My library is in Hawaii basking, while I sit in Oakland.
