Japanese destroyer Yugiri

Japanese destroyer Yugiri

"Yugiri" (夕霧) was a "Fubuki"-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Her name means "Evening Mist".

On 24 November–25 November 1943, "Yugiri" was one of five destroyers on a troop transport/evacuation run to Buka. In the Battle of Cape St. George on 26 November, she was sunk by gunfire of USS "Charles Ausburne" (DD-570), USS "Claxton" (DD-571) and USS "Dyson" (DD-572), 50 miles (95 km) east of Cape St. George (coord|04|44|S|154|0|E). The Japanese submarine "I-177" rescued 278 survivors and "I-181" rescued 11 more.

On 15 December 1943, "Yugiri" was removed from the Navy List.
