Japanese destroyer Kuwa (1944)
text:
Kuwa was one of 18 Matsu-class escort destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. Completed in mid-1944, the ship played a minor role in the Battle off Cape Engaño in October and began escorting convoys the following month. She was sunk by American destroyers during the Battle of Ormoc Bay on 3 December. Kuwa probably sank one of the American ships with torpedoes before being sunk herself with the loss of about half her crew.
