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.
