Chidori-class torpedo boat : ウィキペディア英語版 | Chidori-class torpedo boat
The was an Imperial Japanese Navy class of torpedo boats that served during the Second World War. They proved to have too much armament for the hull and capsized shortly after completion in heavy weather. The entire class had to be rebuilt before they became satisfactory sea-boats. They saw service in the Battle of the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies campaign as escorts and continued in that role for the rest of the war. Three were sunk during the war and the fourth was seized by the British at Hong Kong after the end of the war where it was scrapped later. ==Background==
In 1930, the London Naval Treaty was concluded in which the IJN received a heavy limit on the destroyers. The IJN planned to build the under 600 tons class destroyer which were not limited by the treaty, and the category Torpedo boat was revived for them. The aim for these ships was to have half the armament of the ''Fubuki''-class destroyer. Initially, four boats were constructed for evaluation, out of a planned twenty, in the Circle 1 Programme. After ''Chidori'' was completed, the IJN discovered on her trials that her center of gravity was too high and that she was overweight. The IJN ordered bulges fitted to the rest of the class. However, this proved to be insufficient.〔Brown, p. 144〕
