Design and descriptionThe Akizuki-class ships were originally designed as anti-aircraft escorts for carrier battle groups, but were modified with torpedo tubes and depth charges to meet the need for more general-purpose destroyer. Her crew numbered 300 officers and enlisted men. The ships measured {{convert|134.2|m|ftin|sp=us}} overall, with a beam of {{convert|11.6|m|ftin|sp=us}} and a draft of {{convert|4.15|m|ftin|sp=us}}.[1] They displaced {{convert|2744|t|LT|sp=us}} at standard load and {{convert|3759|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|33|kn|lk=in}}. The ships carried up to {{convert|1097|LT|t}} of fuel oil which gave them a range of {{convert|8300|nmi|lk=in}} at a speed of {{convert|18|kn}}.[3] The main armament of the Akizuki class consisted of eight Type 98 {{convert|100|mm|adj=on|1|sp=us}} dual purpose guns in four twin-gun turrets, two superfiring pairs fore and aft of the superstructure. They carried four Type 96 {{convert|25|mm|adj=on|1|sp=us}} anti-aircraft guns in two twin-gun mounts. The ships were also armed with four {{convert|610|mm|in|adj=on|1|sp=us}} torpedo tubes in a single quadruple traversing mount; one reload was carried for each tube. Their anti-submarine weapons comprised six depth charge throwers for which 72 depth charges were carried.[4] Construction and careerOn 6–7 April 1945, Suzutsuki escorted the battleship {{ship|Japanese battleship|Yamato||2}} from the Inland Sea on her attack mission against the Allied forces fighting on Okinawa. Her bow was torn off by a torpedo from aircraft of Task Force 58, but survived and returned to Sasebo, by steaming in reverse the whole way.[5] She, her sister ships {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Fuyutsuki||2}}, {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Yukikaze|1939|2}}, and {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Hatsushimo|1933|2}} (sunk in late July by a mine off the Inland Sea), survived the ordeal, despite suffering heavy damage, but Yamato, and five escorts, {{Ship|Japanese cruiser|Yahagi|1942|2}}, {{ship|Japanese destroyer|Asashimo||2}}, {{Ship|Japanese destroyer|Kasumi|1937|2}}, {{Ship|Japanese destroyer|Hamakaze|1940|2}} and {{Ship|Japanese destroyer|Isokaze|1939|2}} were all sunk with heavy losses of life. Some of the survivors were picked up by Suzutsuki. Following the end of the war, Suzutsuki was initially used as a breakwater at Takamatsu in November 1945, then was sold for scrap that same month after her name was delisted from the Navy List on 20 November.
