Historical fact of the day :

The first destroyer ever procured by the Imperial Japanese Navy (that was in 1896, back then those ladies were still called Torpedo Boat Destroyers or TBDs in short) was called Ikazuchi. She was ordered by Japan and was built in the United Kingdom along with all her sister ships. Among those, her first sister was called Inazuma (kind of obvious considering the meaning of their name, those will always be together) and there were also TBDs of the Ikazuchi class called Akebono, Oboro and Sazanami.

The second TBDs class of Japan was the Murakumo class, then came an Akastuki class (a two ships class having Kasumi as a second ship). We'll have to wait three more classes, and reach the First Kamikaze class (1904) to find Hibiki's name.

Oh, by the way, the first Inazuma was lost... in a collision. That girl really can't sail strait forward.
