Ushio

From Warlike




Ushio was the twentieth of twenty-four Fubuki-class destroyers that were built for the Imperial Japanese Navy following World War I. Ushio the only destroyer of the 20 ship strong Fubuki class destroyers, the first modern destroyer class in history, to survive World War II and was the only ship out of the 22 combat ships involved in the Pearl Harbor assault force to survive post-war. Ushio's only significant naval victory came by scoring primary credit for finishing off the badly damaged submarine USS Perch on 2-3 March 1942. She was sold for scrap in 1948.
