It really depends on whether Tanaka puts VT shells into equation or not. If not, only the Gearing/Sumner classes could compare, if not necessarily outduck the ducks, being general-purpose rather than dedicated AA (it'd the thought that counts!). Independent of ammunition, Akizukis had the best long-range AA gear of any DD built in WWII, and though 25mm sucked indeed, large numbers at least somewhat made up for it.
