Japanese destroyer Hatsuyuki

Japanese destroyer Hatsuyuki

"Hatsuyuki" was a "Fubuki"-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Her name means "Winter's or Year's First Snow".

From 12 November to 15 November 1942, "Hatsuyuki" took part in the Naval Battles for Guadalcanal.Initially she escorted the Support Force commanded by Admiral Kurita Takeo, then joined the Emergency Bombardment Force of Admiral Kondo Nobutake. With "Nagara" in the assault on enemy destroyers, "Hatsuyuki" assisted in sinking USS "Benham" (DD-397), USS "Walke" (DD-416), and USS "Preston" (DD-379) and damaging USS "Gwin" (DD-433). "Hatsuyuki" then sailed to Truk on 18 November.

On 16 July-17 July 1943, "Hatsuyuki" was on a troop transport run from Rabaul to the Shortland Islands. She was sunk in a U.S. air raid on the Shortlands while unloading passengers alongside the pier at Kahili (coord|06|50|S|155|47|E). A bomb exploded the after magazine, sinking the ship in shallow water, with 120 dead (including 38 passengers) and 36 wounded.

On 5 October 1943, "Hatsuyuki" was removed from the Navy List.
