Description
Yukikaze (雪風, "Snowy Wind") was a Kagerō-classdestroyer in service with the Imperial Japanese Navyduring World War II. She was the only member of her class to survive the war. The attrition rate of Japanesedestroyers was extremely high due to heavy, prolonged combat and the need to use them to transport supplies to scattered Japanese island garrisons. Following the war, the ship was transferred to the Republic of China Navy where she was renamed Tan Yang (丹陽) and served until 1966.
