| EN14=Let's go, Rensouhou-chan.
+
;General Information
| Note14=
+
* Her name means "island wind".
| 戦闘開始時=私には誰も追いつけないよー
+
* She was launched on the 18th of July 1942.
| EN15=There's nobody that can keep up with me, you know!
+
* Sunk in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ormoc_Bay Battle of Ormoc Bay] near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cebu,_Philippines Cebu, Philippines], on the 11th of November 1944.

| Note15a=
 
| 攻撃時=島風、砲雷撃戦入ります
 
  
or
+
;Update History
 +
* She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.
  
島風、出撃しまーす
+
;Misc
| EN16=Shimakaze, engaging in shelling.
+
* She was a unique ship with no sister ships.  In media, she is often shown as depressed by this.
| Note16=
+
** However, [[Amatsukaze]] used prototype steam boilers and turbines which were later used in Shimakaze's construction.
| 夜戦開始時=だからー島風からは逃げられないって
+
* 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.
| EN17=I told you there's no escape from Shimakaze!
+
* Fans have given her the nickname "Zekamashi", her name "spelled" backward 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 backward by modern, left-to-right standards.
| Note17=Kai(?): だから、島風には誰も追いつけないって!
+
* The Shimakaze in game is the second ship in the Japanese Navy to bear the name. Her predecessor being a ''Minekaze''-class Destroyer who was slightly slower at 40.65 knots during sea trials.

Back in June 2016's Comtiq Magazine, an interview was conducted with Kantai Collection's producer Kensuke Tanaka, and artist Shizuma Yoshinori where they discussed the work they did together back while producing the game. It was revealed through their interview that Yoshinori originally created Shimakaze's design for the [[Fubuki|Fubuki-class]]. But as revealed the design looked too fast to fit the ''Fubuki''-class so Tanaka suggested that Yoshinori use this design and re-do it for Shimakaze.

As an end result the design that originally started off as the ''Fubuki''-class's design would then become changed into the Shimakaze we now know today.
===Appearance===
 
Shimakaze has long blonde hair and a flat chest. She is typically seen wearing an outfit with a sailor collar & striped thighhighs. She is often accompanied by Rensouhou-chan, familiar-like turrets which originated from Shimakaze's three twin 12.7 cm/50 naval gun turrets.

Shimakaze was planned and built as the experimental prototype of a new class of heavy destroyers, designated "Type C" (丙型駆逐艦). Sixteen other units were ordered but later canceled due to more pressing wartime needs. Though never repeated, she was a successful design, combining large size (some 25 feet longer than ''Yuugumo''-class), firepower (six 5" guns in new Type D turrets), and heavy torpedo armament (three quintuple sets of 24" tubes, the most powerful such broadside ever mounted on a Japanese destroyer) with a 40-knot top speed. The latter was thanks to new high-pressure, high-temperature boilers able to generate nearly 80,000 shaft horsepower and would have propelled all future Japanese destroyer designs, had circumstances permitted their construction.

I can go faster than 40 knots after all.[2] But I wasn't fit for mass-production so I was the only one built.[3]

Trivia

General Information
Update History
  • She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.
Misc
  • She was a unique ship with no sister ships.  In media, she is often shown as depressed by this.
    • However, Amatsukaze used prototype steam boilers and turbines which were later used in Shimakaze's construction.
  • She was not actually the world's fastest destroyer at the time; that honor goes to the French destroyer 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" backward 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 backward by modern, left-to-right standards.
  • The Shimakaze in game is the second ship in the Japanese Navy to bear the name. Her predecessor being a Minekaze-class Destroyer who was slightly slower at 40.65 knots during sea trials.

Behind the Design

PrototypeFubuki.png

Back in June 2016's Comtiq Magazine, an interview was conducted with Kantai Collection's producer Kensuke Tanaka, and artist Shizuma Yoshinori where they discussed the work they did together back while producing the game. It was revealed through their interview that Yoshinori originally created Shimakaze's design for the Fubuki-class. But as revealed the design looked too fast to fit the Fubuki-class so Tanaka suggested that Yoshinori use this design and re-do it for Shimakaze.

As an end result the design that originally started off as the Fubuki-class's design would then become changed into the Shimakaze we now know today.

Historical Note

Shimakaze was planned and built as the experimental prototype of a new class of heavy destroyers, designated "Type C" (丙型駆逐艦). Sixteen other units were ordered but later canceled due to more pressing wartime needs. Though never repeated, she was a successful design, combining large size (some 25 feet longer than Yuugumo-class), firepower (six 5" guns in new Type D turrets), and heavy torpedo armament (three quintuple sets of 24" tubes, the most powerful such broadside ever mounted on a Japanese destroyer) with a 40-knot top speed. The latter was thanks to new high-pressure, high-temperature boilers able to generate nearly 80,000 shaft horsepower and would have propelled all future Japanese destroyer designs, had circumstances permitted their construction.
