The Nenohi was a Japanese destroyer whose keel was laid in 1931, launched in December 1932, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in September 1933. The length of the ship at the time of launching was 109.5 m, width 10 m, and the actual full displacement - 1,800 tons. Destroyer Nenohi had a maximum speed of 36 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 5 127 mm guns in two twin and one single turret, and the secondary armament was two 40 mm cannons, depth charge launchers and nine 610 mm torpedo tubes.
Nenohi was the second Hatsuharu-class destroyer. Designing destroyers of this type was based on the very successful Fubuki class, but the provisions of the disarmament treaty of 1930 had to be respected, which forced the maximum displacement to be limited to 1,850 tons. The result was a ship with capabilities similar to the Fubuki class, but with weaker torpedo armament. What's more - also on the Hatsuharu type, the ship's stability and overall structural strength had to be improved later. Finally, at the outbreak of the war, units of this type were as good as their Allied counterparts, but had less combat capabilities than the earlier chronological type of Fubuki! Destroyer Nenohi began its participation in World War II in a rather ineffective way - from patrolling mother waters in search of American submarines. However, from January 1942, he supported Japanese amphibious operations in the Dutch East Indies. In May of the same year, he was sent to the North Pacific to support operations in the Aleutian region. On July 4, 1942, destroyer Nenohi was torpedoed by the USS Triton submarine and sank on the same day - within only five minutes of being hit by the torpedoes!
