Nire

Nire was one of 23 escort destroyers of the Tachibana sub-class of the Matsu class built for the Imperial Japanese Navy during the final stages of World War II. Completed in early 1945, the ship spent most of her brief career assigned to the Combined Fleet on escort duty. Nire was damaged during a bomber attack on Kure in June; although she was repaired, the ship was placed in reserve the following month. The non-operational destroyer was turned over to the victorious Allies when the Empire of Japan surrendered in August; Nire was scrapped in 1948.
