Historical Notes:

Second ship of the Sakura class of destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy at the start of the 1910's. The Sakura-class ships were smaller than the preceding Umikaze-class and intended as a economical alternative to the Umikaze's high fuel consumption. While only 2 ships were built, the later Kaba class of 10 ships was essentially a repeat of the Sakura class.

Armament consisted of 1x1 120mm/40 Type 41 guns, 4x1 76mm/40 Type 41 guns and 2x2 450mm torpedo launchers

The Sakura class consisted of 2 ships, Sakura (Cherry Blossom) and Tachibana (Mandarin Orange).

The Kaba class consisted of 10 ships, Kaba (Birch Tree), Kashiwa (Oak Tree), Sakaki (Sakaki Tree), Katsura (Judas Tree), Sugi (Cedar Tree), Kaede (Maple Tree), Ume (Plum Tree), Kiri (Paulowina Tree), Kusunoki (Camphor Tree) and Matsu (Pine Tree)
