Product Description ■ The destroyer "Kikugetsu" was built as the 9th ship of the Muzuki type destroyer. The original ship name was "No. 31 Destroyer", but the ship number was changed to "Kikugetsu".
At the beginning of the war, the Asashio and Yomei type destroyers, which had a long range but belonged to the Air Fleet, were the direct guards. The destroyer "Kikugetsu" belongs to the South Sea Fleet and participates in the capture operation at the beginning of the war.
It will be put into the capture operation in Port Moresby in April 1942.
However, on May 4, while refueling from the lay vessel "Okinoshima", it was attacked by a U.S. carrier-based aircraft, and it became unnavigable due to the impact of a torpedo or a bomb.
After the crew left, it will be towed by the specially installed antisubmarine "Daisanmaru" and run off the coast of Gabutu Island and sink afterwards, but it will be pulled up and investigated by the U.S. Forces.
