{{nihongo|Akishimo|秋霜||"Autumn Frost"}} was a {{sclass-|Yūgumo|destroyer}} of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Design and description

The Yūgumo class was a repeat of the preceding {{sclass-|Kagerō|destroyer|4}} with minor improvements that increased their anti-aircraft capabilities. Their crew numbered 228 officers and enlisted men. The ships measured {{convert|119.17|m|ftin|sp=us}} overall, with a beam of {{convert|10.8|m|ftin|sp=us}} and a draft of {{convert|3.76|m|ftin|sp=us}}.[1] They displaced {{convert|2110|t|LT|sp=us}} at standard load and {{convert|2560|t|LT|sp=us}} at deep load.[2] The ships had two Kampon geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by three Kampon water-tube boilers. The turbines were rated at a total of {{convert|52000|shp|lk=in}} for a designed speed of {{convert|35|kn|lk=in}}.[3]

The main armament of the Yūgumo class consisted of six Type 3 {{convert|127|mm|adj=on|1|sp=us}} guns in three twin-gun turrets, one superfiring pair aft and one turret forward of the superstructure.[2] The guns were able to elevate up to 75° to increase their ability against aircraft, but their slow rate of fire, slow traversing speed, and the lack of any sort of high-angle fire-control system meant that they were virtually useless as anti-aircraft guns.[4] They were built with four Type 96 {{convert|25|mm|adj=on|1|sp=us}} anti-aircraft guns in two twin-gun mounts, but more of these guns were added over the course of the war. The ships were also armed with eight {{convert|610|mm|in|adj=on|1|sp=us}} torpedo tubes in a two quadruple traversing mounts; one reload was carried for each tube. Their anti-submarine weapons comprised two depth charge throwers for which 36 depth charges were carried.[2]

Construction and career

She was at the Battle of Leyte Gulf of 23–26 October 1944, assigned to the 1st Diversion Attack Force. On 23 October, she rescued 769 survivors of the cruiser {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Maya||2}}. On 24 October, she assisted the torpedoed cruiser {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Myōkō||2}}. The next day she suffered minor damage in a collision with the destroyer {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Shimakaze|1942|2}}. On 26 October she rescued 328 survivors from the cruiser {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Noshiro||2}}.

On 10 November 1944, Akishimo was escorting troop convoy TA No. 4 from Manila to Ormoc, Philippines. She suffered heavy damage in an air attack by U.S. Army B-25 Mitchells during the withdrawal; the ship took a direct bomb hit and lost her bow with 20 killed and 35 injured. The destroyer returned to Manila at {{convert|16|kn|km/h mph|lk=in|abbr=on}}, then to Cavite Navy Yard on 11 November for repairs.

On 13 November, a U.S. air raid on Manila struck Akishimo, then alongside the destroyer {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Akebono|1930|2}} at Cavite pier ({{coord|14|35|N|120|55|E|display=title, inline}}). Direct bomb hits set both ships ablaze. The following day a large explosion on Akishimo further damaged both ships; Akishimo rolled over onto her starboard side. There were 170 survivors, 15 crewmen killed and 25 wounded.
