* She was not actually the world's fastest destroyer at the time; that honor goes to the French destroyer ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_destroyer_Terrible Terrible]''. ''Terrible'' had a top speed of 45 knots as opposed to Shimakaze's 40.9 knots. However if one considers offshore speed, Shimakaze would be the fastest destroyer at that time.
* Fans have given her the nickname "Zekamashi", her name "spelled" backwards as it would be on an old Japanese life preserver. This is because traditionally, Japanese was written in vertical columns from right to left. If you tried to write on something thin like a life preserver, there would only be space for one character per line, so you would end up writing backwards by modern, left-to-right standards.
