Yūdachi

Yūdachi, a Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, was laid down in October 1934 and entered service in January 1937. During World War II, she escorted troop transports during the invasions of the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, and she engaged in the Battles of the Java Sea and off the Santa Cruz Islands. In 1942, the ship delivered reinforcements during the Pacific campaigns. During the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, she was damaged by USS Sterett and was subsequently abandoned by her crew. The abandoned hull of Yūdachi was sunk by gunfire from cruiser USS Portland.
