and last... nobody cares about Tashkent being faster after all...
That's, you know, if they know. Few artists care about the actual history of the war, and it's not like the Japanese artists tend to pay as much attention to the foreign shipgirls unless it's for the giant breasts, plus it's also not like Tashkent makes it practically her only personality trait the way that Shimakaze does, either.

that's true, but on the other hand, think of this as a possibility to make a shimakaze comic, not a tashkent comic
AganoAhaha...Grrr...I'm sort of like Shimakaze-chan, aren't I?TenryuuIn the end, only one was built, and no more destroyer leaders followed due to the outbreak of the German-Soviet War.The torpedo squadron leaders, that is.The Imperial Japanese Navy assigned the role of flotilla leader to light cruisers.As mentioned previously, these specialized destroyer leaders' roles no longer stood out as a result of a trend toward larger ships as a whole. In the 1950s, the US Navy established a ship type between destroyers and cruisers called "Destroyer Leaders". However, as these were meant to be flagships of only smaller units, they are not quite the same concept as discussed herein. In 1975, ship reclassification resulted in the end of "destroyer leaders" as a type.Ooyodo has similar facilities!
Torpedo SquadronSuirangers
A pun on torpedo squadron (suirai) and rangers (renjaa), of the superhero variety.NagaraKumaSendai* The Tenryuu-class, the so-called "5500 ton-class", and the Agano-class.I wasn't involved till the end!Not like I could help it!Kasumi got to be flagship because an enlargement made room for the flagship staff.She was originally meant to be flagship of a submarine division, so perhaps she should be called a "development leader"?
The development of the war situation meant Ooyodo could no longer fulfill her intended role, and she was refitted to serve as a possible flagship for the Combined Fleet.The end!Tashkent displaced 4000 tons at full load, comparable to a light cruiser. With 13,000 shp, she could reach 43.5 knots, allowing one to reasonably question if such a destroyer really existed. However, obtaining Italian technical expertise proved difficult, and her sisters were all canceled.
It should be noted these speeds were achieved while she was stripped of all armament.
