Changes

The Mutsuki-class destroyers (睦月型駆逐艦) were an improved version of the Kamikaze class destroyers and were ordered under the 1923 fiscal budget. Unlike the Kamikaze and Minekaze-class, the Mutsuki-class were retained as first line destroyers due to their range and their more powerful torpedo armament (Type 93 Torpedo) . They were modernized between 1936 and 1937 and then again between 1941 and 1942, which extended their useful lives as well as increased their anti-aircraft and anti-submarine capabilities, thus allowing them to participate in the upcoming Pacific War.
