Kitakaze
After experimental destroyer Shimakaze was laid down in 1941, notable for her speed and formidable torpedo armament, a decision was made to include 16 Type C ships in the 5th Naval Armaments Supplement Programme. However, due to losses suffered by the Imperial Navy in 1942, some Type C destroyers were substituted with Type Bs (Akizuki). Seven "improved Type B" ships were ordered in 1943. Their construction was later canceled due to the need to prepare escort ships.
