Nowaki
From Warlike
Q570922
Nowaki was a Kagerō-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy commissioned in April 1941. She saw an extremely successful career during her service in WW2, either helping to sink or capture 15 ships during the war: including the destroyers HMS Stronghold and USS Johnston. She also survived an encounter with US battleships during Operation Hailstone where she was lightly damaged by the longest ranged straddle in history. Nowaki was finally sunk at the battle of Leyte Gulf after rescuing survivors from the sunken heavy cruiser Chikuma, when she was caught by a US cruiser-destroyer force and sunk with all hands.
