Japanese destroyer Matsu (1944) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese destroyer Matsu (1944)
''Matsu'' (Japanese 松, meaning: Pine tree) was the lead ship of the s of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She had a very short career: less than a year from laying her keel in 1943, and just more than three months from her completion in 1944, to her sinking as she returned from her first escort mission. The ''Matsu''-class ships were built late in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and were intended to be more cost-effective in response to the changing character of naval warfare at that time. These ships were lighter and smaller than previous Japanese destroyers, including different armament such as enhanced anti-aircraft guns and anti-submarine weapons, along with radar. Since surface warfare was believed to be less likely at this stage of the war, armament such as torpedo tubes that would be useful against surface ships was diminished. Gun mounts were open rather than turreted; this lack of protection for the gun crews would prove critical for ''Matsu.'' ==Operational history== After being completed at the Maizuru Naval Arsenal on 28 April 1944, ''Matsu'' was assigned to Destroyer Squadron 11 ("Desron 11") for training. The ship's captain was Lt. Cmdr. Tsuneo Yonei. He was relieved on 1 June and reassigned to command the destroyer of the same class. ''Matsu''s new captain was Lt. Cmdr. Gen Yoshinaga, previously captain of the destroyer . At completion of training on 15 July, ''Matsu'' was permanently assigned to Destroyer Division 43 ("Desdiv 43"), part of Desron 11.
