The Murasame (Japanese Rain Showers) was a Japanese destroyer, the keel of which was laid in February 1934, launched in June 1935, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in January 1937. The length of the ship at the time of launching was 107.5 m, width 9.9 m, and the actual full displacement - 1,700 tons. Destroyer Murasame's top speed was up to 34 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 13 mm machine guns, depth charge launchers and eight 610 mm torpedo tubes. with eight spare torpedoes.

Murasame was the third Shiratsuyu-class destroyer. Units of this type were created respecting the displacement limits imposed on the government in Tokyo by international disarmament treaties, especially the London Treaty of 1930. This type of ships was in fact a modification of the Hatsuharu-class ships - at the same time, it meant the temporary withdrawal of the Japanese fleet from building large destroyers like the Fubuki class. Compared to the Hatsuharu type, the Shiratsuyu type units differed in significantly improved stability, narrower hull and lower displacement. The same artillery armament was retained, but the torpedo armament was reinforced. The Achilles heel turned out to be very weak anti-aircraft weapons, which were constantly modernized and strengthened during the war in the Pacific. Destroyer Murasame began its combat route during World War II by supporting Japanese landings in the Philippines in early December 1941, then it operated in the waters surrounding today's Indonesia, and in February 1942 successfully took part in the Battle of the Java Sea. In June, he fought in the Battle of Midway, covering Japanese transports. Shortly thereafter - from August 1942 - he operated in the waters surrounding the Solomon Islands archipelago, fighting in the Gudalcanal region. He was an important element of the so-called Tokyo Express. He also took part in the Battle of the Eastern Solomon Islands (August 1942). Destroyer Murasame was sunk in Kula Bay on March 6, 1943 as a result of artillery shelling by American light cruisers.
