Therefore, when designing them, the emphasis was on high speed at the expense of armor. They also very often acted as flagships of such teams. The combat career of cruiser Sendai in World War II began in December 19141, when she shielded the Japanese landing in Malaya.

Destroyers of this type were designed as anti-aircraft destroyers, intended to protect high-speed Japanese aircraft carriers, which resulted in the arming with 100 mm universal artillery and weak - by Japanese standards - torpedo armament. Initially, 55 ships of this type were planned to be launched, but due to problems with the supply of raw materials, only 12 Akizuki-class destroyers entered service. However, they received very positive reviews due to their long range, high speed, good stability and sea prowess. They were considered to be one of the best destroyers of World War II. Yoizuki (side number 363) initially served in the home waters and in February 1945 supported the air defense of Yokosuka against a B-29 bomber raid. In June of the same year, he climbed a mine, but suffered no serious damage. Until the end of the war, it was not used in combat.
