The Japanese destroyer was one of twelve s built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1920s. During the Pacific War, she participated in the Battle of Guam in December 1941 and the New Guinea and Solomon Islands Campaigns in 1942. ''Kikuzuki'' was destroyed during the invasion of Tulagi in May. ==Design and description== The ''Mutsuki'' class was an improved version of the s and was the first with triple torpedo tubes. The ships had an overall length of 〔Watts & Gordon, pp. 265–66〕 and were between perpendiculars. They had a beam of , and a mean draft of . The ''Mutsuki''-class ships displaced at standard load and at deep load.〔Whitley, p. 191〕 They were powered by two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four Kampon water-tube boilers. The turbines were designed to produce , which would propel the ships at . The ships carried of fuel oil which gave them a range of at . Their crew consisted of 150 officers and crewmen.〔Jentschura, Jung & Mickel, p. 143〕 The main armament of the ''Mutsuki''-class ships consisted of four in single mounts; one gun forward of he superstructure, one between the two funnels and the last pair back to back atop the aft superstructure. The guns were numbered '1' to '4' from front to rear. The ships carried two above-water triple sets of 61-centimeter torpedo tubes; one mount was between the forward superstructure and the forward gun and the other was between the aft funnel and aft superstructure. Four reload torpedoes were provided for the tubes.〔 They carried 18 depth charges and could also carry 16 mines. They could also fitted with minesweeping gear.〔 ''Kikuzuki'' was one of six ''Mutsuki''-class ships reconstructed in 1935–36, with their hulls strengthened, raked caps fitted to the funnels and shields to the torpedo mounts. In 1941–42, most of those ships were converted into fast transports with No. 2 and No. 3 guns removed. In addition, ten license-built light AA guns〔 and at least two anti-aircraft machineguns were installed.〔 The minesweeping gear was replaced by four depth charge throwers and the ships now carried a total of 36 depth charges. These changes reduced their speed to 〔 and increased their displacement to at normal load.〔 Three more 25 mm guns may have been added in 1942.〔Watts & Gordon, p. 267〕
