Now Viewing: umikaze_(kantai_collection)Tag type: Character 海風 (Sea Breeze) Umikaze is the personification of the seventh of the ten Shiratsuyu-class (Shiratsuyu_(Kantai_Collection)) destroyers in Kantai_Collection. The 4th Fleet Incident that occurred while she was under construction, led to a re-design of the remaining yet-to-be-finished Shiratsuyu destroyers from Umikaze onwards. Thus they were also known as the Kai-Shiratsuyu-class (改白露型), or Umikaze-class (海風型) as she was the first ship of the Kai-Shiratsuyu. She has a serious and eager personality, and tends to worry over her sister-ship, Kawakaze_(Kantai_Collection). Umikaze has blue_eyes and very_long_hair silver_hair or white_hair tied in a single braid with a hair_tie, and parted_bangs. She also has a mole under her left eye (mole_under_eye). Her clothing has a distinct black and white contrast with blue trimming, with a white-and-black collared_shirt sleeveless shirt, blue neckerchief, black_gloves elbow_gloves, a black_skirt pleated_skirt, black_legwear pantyhose, and loafers. She shares nearly all of these clothing characteristics with Kawakaze. Her combat gear (machinery) is unusually painted all black, with a hand-carried, twin-turret cannon in her left hand, twin torpedo turrets on her thighs, and a smokestack and antenna mast carried like a backpack. Historically, she was one of the first ships built under the Circle Two Program, launched in early 1936. She was originally part of Destroyer Division 24 along with her sister ships Yamakaze (not implemented), Kawakaze_(Kantai_Collection), and Suzukaze_(Kantai_Collection). Although she mainly performed troop transport or escort missions, she was involved in several dangerous night missions to bombard Henderson Field in Guadalcanal, fighting in the infamous Ironbottom Sound, including in the First Battle of Guadalcanal. Afterwards, she was heavily damaged by an airstrike, and forced to be towed to Sasebo by Asashio_(Kantai_Collection). She had one of her cannon turrets removed, and replaced with an additional Type 96 Anti-Air gun. Ultimately, she was sunk at Truk Atoll by the USS Guardfish, a Gato-class submarine in March 31, 1944, with 215 of her crewmen surviving. pixiv tags: 海風, 海風(艦隊これくしょん), 海風(艦これ) From < danbooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages/67647 > Other Wiki Information Last updated: 01/01/16 12:03 AM by surveyork This entry is not locked and you can edit it as you see fit. |
