Well, the Easter ham has 3 more hours to go and it’s either cut the grass, or do this, so … Seems Japan had about 50 or so older 1st and 2nd class DDs (Momo, Momi, Kamikaze, Mutsuki, Whackytacky), that upgraded, converted, and refitted into darn near everything afloat. Just taking Momi for example, there was 9 that were converted to PBs in ’39-’40 (what we would call APDs), 5 that were converted to training ships (and remilitarized, eventually), and 3 retained as DDs. Both the DDs and the APDs upgrade over the years, but there’s also a one-way conversion option for the DDs to go to APDs. Neat thing is that some of the Momi upgrade/conversion options are shared with the Whackytackys, so the art becomes multi-class fungible (I call them Mo-Takes, in the art pile). That’s to say nothing about the Kamikaze and Mutsuki classes. Woof !! So here’s some art for all the old, decrepit (but astonishingly useful, if you are smart) Japanese DDs.
