释义 |
The Tachibana-class vessels were designed primarily as convoy escort vessels based on a simplified design suitable for mass-production, and to operated by crew members without the prewar level of training, in order to make up for the attrition of the Japanese destroyer forces during the Pacific War. Despite their slower speed than previous destroyer classes, the class was relatively heavily armed, with an emphasis on anti-aircraft and anti-submarine capability.[2] Operational historyNire was completed on 31 January 1945 and assigned the same day to Destroyer Squadron 11 under the Combined Fleet under the command of Lieutenant Commander Takeo Shimoda, who was concurrently captain of the {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Sawakaze|1919|2}} for crew training in the Seto Inland Sea. On 25 April, she became part of Destroyer Squadron 52 together with {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Sugi|1944|2}}, {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Kashi|1944|2}} and {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Kaede|1944|2}}. On 22 June, while at Kure, she suffered from medium damage due to an air raid by USAAF B-29 Superfortress bombers, during which time 25 crewmen were killed and her engines were damaged. She underwent repairs at Kure Naval Arsenal until 2 July. However, due to lack of fuel, she was designed a guard ship and moored at Kure without returning to active service. On 15 July, her crew was transferred to {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Kaba|1945|2}} and Lieutenant Commander Toshiharu Honda, concurrently captain of {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Nara|1944|2}} was assigned command over the ship and its skeleton crew. [3]Nire was surrendered to Allied forces at Kure at the time of the surrender of Japan and was removed from the navy list on 5 October. She was scrapped at Kure on 20 April 1948.
