It wasn't the most modern of
Japanese destroyers when the World War 2 started, but she handled herself
well as an escort, a fighting ship, and as a fast troop transport.
Nagatsuki
contributed torpedoes to a salvo which sunk USS Strong (DD-467) on July 4-5,
1943 but paid for this success just a day later when, after direct 6" shell hit
during battle, later run aground on
Kolombangara trying to land troops.
Unfortunately for Nagatsuki
all attempts to pull her free failed and she became an easy prey for US
aircrafts on the following day. |
