Ship project history: Project Yugumo was formed on the basis of Kagero class and differed from it rather slightly: hardly the hull has been lengthened and guns were placed in new mounts ensuring 75° elevation angle.
They were ordered under programs of 1939 (12 ships) and 1941 (16 ships). Eight more ships were provided by the additional program of 1942, however from their building, as well as from last eight of 1941 program, because of shortage of materials have refused, and orders for Umigiri, Yamagiri, Tanigiri, Kawagiri, Taekaze, Kiyokaze, Satokaze and Murakaze were cancelled.
