Project history

On torpedo boats of this class errors supposed at designing of Tomozuru have been corrected: armament was moderated and changes were made to construction of superstructures. For stability raise the hull beam was increased. Displacement and draught were increased. At the expense of growth of engine power (on 72%) designed speed has raised. Armament repeated fitted on Tomozuru after reconstruction. They were ordered as numbers 5-20 under 2nd Supplementary programme of 1934, but building of eight of 16 planed ships was cancelled in favour of building of submarine chasers. No13-20 (Hatsutaka, Aotaka, Wakataka, Kumataka, Yamadori, Mizudori, Umidori and Komadori) were never ordered.

Modernizations

1944, all survived: + 1 x 2 - 25/60 96-shiki, 5 x 1 - 25/60 96-shiki, 3-shiki 1-go radar, standard displacement increased to 1043t.
