See post #2224919 for another take on Amatsukaze's (and other destroyers) war damage and subsequent repair.
Cool!She looks Really FastKyaa! That’s my Rensouhou-chan!By the way, Shimakaze’s record was 40.9 knots.Oh God, it looks like She’s really fast!, Too fast I thinkShe looks Fast!She’s not faster than Shimakaze’s Rensouhou, but…SmugTrudgeShimakazeAmatsukaze’s bow was severed by torpedo attack. The emergency repairs she received changed her bow.
Torpedoed by USS Redfin on January 11, after which she was thought lost for six days until her aft section was found adrift.Thanks(?) to that repair, her bow wave was enlarged. A cruise at 12 knots looked like 20 knots.-tsukaze
