Japanese destroyer Ushio (1930)
〔Nelson. ''Japanese-English Character Dictionary''. page 570〕 was the twentieth of twenty-four s, built for the Imperial Japanese Navy following World War I. When introduced into service, these ships were the most powerful destroyers in the world. They served as first-line destroyers through the 1930s, and remained formidable weapons systems well into the Pacific War. ''Ushio'' was one of only two of the 24 ships in its class to survive World War II, and it was also the only survivor out of the 22 combat ships involved in the Pearl Harbor assault force.
==History==
Construction of the advanced ''Fubuki''-class destroyers was authorized as part of the Imperial Japanese Navy's expansion program from fiscal 1923, intended to give Japan a qualitative edge with the world's most modern ships.〔Fitzsimons, ''Illustrated Encyclopedia of 20th Century Weapons and Warfare'' p.1040〕 The ''Fubuki'' class had performance that was a quantum leap over previous destroyer designs, so much so that they were designated . The large size, powerful engines, high speed, large radius of action and unprecedented armament gave these destroyers the firepower similar to many light cruisers in other navies.〔Peattie & Evans, ''Kaigun'' page 221-222.〕 ''Ushio'', built at the Uraga Dock Company was the tenth in an improved series, which incorporated a modified gun turret which could elevate her main battery of Type 3 127 mm 50 caliber naval guns to 75° as opposed to the original 40°, thus permitting the guns to be used as dual purpose guns against aircraft.〔F Fitzsimons, ''Illustrated Encyclopedia of 20th Century Weapons and Warfare'' (London: Phoebus, 1977), Volume 10, p.1040.<〕 ''Ushio'' was laid down on 24 December 1929, launched on 17 November 1930 and commissioned on 15 November 1931. Originally assigned hull designation “Destroyer No. 54”, she was designated ''Ushio'' before her launch.
