Akikaze

Akikaze was a Minekaze-class destroyer, built for the Imperial Japanese Navy immediately following the end of World War I. The Minekaze class of destroyers were considered advanced for their time; these ships served as first-line destroyers through the 1930s. The class was considered obsolete by the start of the Pacific War but served in a number of roles including minesweeper, aircraft rescue, and Kaiten-carriers. On March 18, 1943, Akikaze was the scene of a massacre of about 60 civilians on board.
