The Shimakaze is a rarely seen unit, but it is also an extremely powerful destroyer design. Like the Fletcher-class, it shines well in any kind of role, particularly that of anti-aircraft, given its six dual-purpose guns and nice amounts of machine guns. It is, in fact, almost identical to the Fubuki-class in terms of power and cannon fire arcs. It is, however, without a doubt the fastest destroyer in the game, sailing at a lightning-fast 45 knots; just 5 knots slower than a PT boat. This speed can allow it to intercept enemy submarines before they can make any attacks on battleships. | The Shimakaze is a rarely seen unit, but it is also an extremely powerful destroyer design.

'''Official Description:''' ''The Shimakaze is one of the largest and most powerful destroyer in the Japanese arsenal. In addition to their heavy weaponry and large number of torpedoes, the ship has a large high-pressure and high temperature steam engine, capable of reaching extremely high speeds. This super-destroyer is the second-fastest sea unit at these times, being only slightly slower than the patrol boats, and she can easily escape from torpedoes and bombs in the hands of a skilled captain. The ship lacks armour, similar to the other destroyers, but it can quickly chase down all other combatants.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''The Shimakaze is one of the largest and most powerful destroyer in the Japanese arsenal.
