Japanese destroyer Sagiri

"Sagiri" (Japanese 狭霧, "Thin Fog") was a "Fubuki" class destroyer that served in the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II.

"Sagiri" was laid down by the Uraga Dock Co. on 28 March 1929, launched on 23 December of the same year, and commissioned on 31 January 1931. It was the sixth of the intermediate group of "Fubuki" class destroyers.

"Sagiri" was assigned to "Destroyer Division 20" and took part in Imperial Japanese Navy combat maneuvers and the Second Sino-Japanese War during the 1930s.

On 8 December 1941, during World War II, "Destroyer Division 20" provided covering fire for the Japanese landings at the port city ofSongkhla in southern Thailand. On 17 December 1941, "Sagiri", which was detached from "Destroyer Division 20", took part in the Japanese landings at Miri in northern Borneo. On 23 December-24 December 1941, it participated in the invasion at Kuching in Sarawak. On 24 December 1941, "Sagiri" was steaming about 35 miles off Kuching when it was torpedoed by the Dutch submarine "K XVI". "Sagiri"'s torpedoes caught fire and exploded, sinking the ship with the loss of 121 of its crew.
