Ship project history: So-called 2nd class destroyers and first Japanese ships equipped with geared turbines and triple TTs. As a whole they have appeared rather successful and became founders of large series of ships built in 1920th years.
Modernizations: 1943, Kaii: after re-commissioning was rearmed with (1 - 2) x 1 - 120/40 41-shiki, some 25/60 96-shiki, DCTs and DCRs .
Naval service: Momo, Kashi, Hinoki and Yanagi in 1917-1918 served on Mediterranean,
they have returned to Japan in February, 1919. Kashi in 1937-1943
served in Manchkuo Navy as Hai Wei, then she has been returned
(rated as escort) and later sunk by American
carrier aircraft (TF.38) off Okinawa. Last ship, Yanagi, was broken up in 1947.
