Mutsuki Class Destroyer
The Mutsuki class destroyers (睦月型駆逐艦, Mutsukigata kuchikukan?) was a class of twelve destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. All were given traditional poetic names of the months of the year by the Lunar calendar or phases of the moon. Some authors consider the Kamikaze and Mutsuki class destroyers to be extensions of the earlier Minekaze-class destroyer.

—Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
“The supreme, the merciless, the destroyer of opposition, the exalted King, the shepherd, the protector of the quarters of the world, the King the word of whose mouth destroys mountains and seas, who by his lordly attack has forced mighty and merciless Kings from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same to acknowledge one supremacy.”
