Looking to find out if link
is wrong or if these are variations in spelling names that i just can't find. The above web site lists the IJN DDs Yawakase and Kawakaze. Yet Googgle fails to show these as IJN DDs. I am interested int he class of these ships (Kagero? Fubuki? other?) for a scenario in the 1941 Java Sea Campaign setting using GQ1. Gracias, Glenn |

I don't see Yawakase on the site you linked, and Kawakaze (and Yamakaze) were Shiratsuyu class. |

I also took a look at the Wiki page and did not find Yawakase there (which also yields no results at all from a Google search). All the rest of the Japanese ships have their own Wiki pages; all I needed to do to find out what class Kawakaze was was click on its name. LT |

I have a copy of Jentschura's Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy… No Yawakase mentioned. It is safe to assume that Yamakaze is the ship in question. |

I can get you a list of the ships participating once I get home, if nobody does before then.

Ah, done in by my hand writing again! I was working from a hand copied list (very quickly copied, along with copying the URL, Friday) from the page. It was indeed the Yamakase and I can only blame my handwriting for my confusion. Did not access web site this week-end [shared family computer] and (duh! on me <insert head slapping sound here>) did not realize the names were linked to a URL. Appreciate the assistance. Gracias, glenn |

Also interesting to note that the 1936-launched
Yamakaze is the second ship of that name in the IJN,
the other having been launched in 1905… |
