The ship was launched in 1942 and commissioned in 1943. Its most distinctive features were the ability to reach speeds of over 40 knots and an unprecedented firepower for this class, thanks to 15 Type 93 torpedo tubes—'Long Lance' torpedoes. Shimakaze participated in Pacific operations, including convoy protection and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
