HistoryThe Asashio-class destroyers were larger and more capable than the preceding {{sclass-|Shiratsuyu|destroyer|4}}, as Japanese naval architects were no longer constrained by the provisions of the London Naval Treaty. These light cruiser-sized vessels were designed to take advantage of Japan’s lead in torpedo technology, and to accompany the Japanese main striking force and in both day and night attacks against the United States Navy as it advanced across the Pacific Ocean, according to Japanese naval strategic projections.[2] Despite being one of the most powerful classes of destroyers in the world at the time of their completion, none survived the Pacific War.[3] Arare, built at the Maizuru Naval Arsenal, was laid down on 5 March 1937, launched on 16 November 1937 and commissioned on 15 April 1939.[4] On completion, she was assigned to the IJN 2nd Fleet as part of Desdiv 18, Desron 2 under command of Commander Tomoe Ogata. Operational historyAt the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Arare was based at Etorofu in the Kurile Islands, and sailed as part of the escort for Admiral Nagumo’s Carrier Strike Force, guarding the fleet tankers accompanying the strike force. She returned to Kure on 24 December.[5] In January 1942, Arare escorted aircraft carriers {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Akagi||2}} and {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Kaga||2}} to Truk, and onwards to Rabaul to cover landings of Japanese forces at Rabaul and Kavieng. She returned with {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Zuikaku||2}} from Palau to Yokosuka on 13 February, and spent the following month in training patrols. On 17 March, she departed Yokosuka with {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Shōkaku||2}} and {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Zuikaku||2}} to Staring-baai in Sulawesi, Netherlands East Indies. Arare departed Staring-baai on 27 March to escort the carrier force in the Indian Ocean raid on 27 March After the Japanese air strikes on Colombo and Trincomalee in Ceylon, she returned to Kure for repairs on 23 April. Arare deployed from Saipan on 3 June as part of the escort for the troop convoy in the Battle of Midway. Afterwards, she escorted the cruisers {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Kumano||2}} and {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Suzuya|1934|2}} from Truk back to Kure. On 28 June, she was assigned to escort {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Chiyoda||2}} to Kiska in the Aleutian Islands on a supply mission. While approximately {{convert|7|nmi|lk=in}} east of Kiska at {{coord|52|0|N|177|40|E|display=inline, title}} on 5 July, during the Action of 5 July 1942 she was hit amidships by a torpedo fired by the submarine {{USS|Growler|SS-215|6}}, exploded and sank, with loss of 104 lives. Commander Ogata was among the 42 survivors rescued by the destroyer {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Shiranuhi||2}}.[6] She was removed from the navy list on 31 July 1942. Notes1. ^Nelson.
