Analysis

Priority: Medium

She is just an average destroyer at Kai that doesn't have anything to set her apart from the rest. She gains significant boosts to her firepower and torpedo stats that put her among the top combat destoryers.
Her Kai Ni D remodel has worse combat stats than her Kai Ni but gains two important things that set it apart. Firstly, she gains a significant boost to her ASW stat that allow her to hit OASW very easily. She is one of the few destroyers capable of using single slot OASW before marriage. Secondly, she gains the ability to equip both Daihatsu and Ka-Mi tanks. This makes her a good candidate for anti-installation work. It also means she can help maximise expedition gains and be used at transport maps. As a bonus, she also gains minor buffs to her survivability.

Recommended Roles

  • Combat
  • ASW
  • Anti-installation
  • Expeditions

Important Information

  • Required for A31, A70, A71, A81, B20, B73, B74, B108 and B109
  • An option for B90, and C25

  1. To improve the turning circle, the first four ships of the class (Asashio, Ooshio, Michishio, Arashio) had modifications made to their hull and rudder shapes. The addition of a 'knuckle' to the hull carried over to the later Kagerou-class.
  2. Shared with Supply before Kai.
  3. This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
  4. She was struck by a single 3" shell at the Battle of Badung Strait that killed 4 men and wounded 11.
  5. What she really says is a phrase meaning "Success on the first try". She sank the HNLMS Piet Hein at Badung Strait with a single torpedo.
  6. Before the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, her Captain exchanged a promise with the collier/troop transport Nojima Maru that she was escorting. When the Nojima Maru sank, her captain disobeyed an order to retreat with the message "I made a promise with the captain of Nojima. We will rescue her survivors before retreating" (『我野島艦長トノ約束アリ 野島救援ノ後避退ス』).
  7. She was caught in an air raid and sunk while recuing survivors from the collier/troop transport Nojima Maru and her sister Arashio.

Trivia

  • Sunk by air attack in Battle of the Bismarck Sea, 3 March 1943.
    • Prior to the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, Yasuo Sato, the commander of DesDiv8, made a promise with his friend, the captain of fleet collier Nojima. They agreed that if one gets in trouble, the other will rush to his aid. When Nojima was struck, Sato disobeyed the order to cease rescue efforts and retreat. He telegraphed his superior, explaining: "I have a promise with the captain of Nojima, we will rescue her survivors before retreating.". After rescuing survivors of the collier and Arashio, Asashio headed north but was caught by Allied aircraft and sunk. Captain of Nojima survived and was picked up 3 days later. Sato, however, went down with Asashio, saying "I'm too tired. Just let me rest peacefully here. Go, you guys should hurry up and evacuate now.".
  • Her name means "morning tide".
  • Her designation of "D" refers to the "Type D Destroyers" (丁型駆逐艦) of the IJN which were meant to be ASW ships.
