ww2dbaseAs a part of the 9th Destroyer Division, Asagumo participated in the early stages of the Pacific War. She sank the destroyer Electra at the Battle at the Java Sea. In Jun 1942, she participated in the Midway battle, and then headed toward the Solomon Islands, becoming the flagship of the 4th Torpedo Squadron in Nov 1942. She was involved in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea in Mar 1943. In Jul 1943, she assisted the evacuation of the Japanese garrison from Kiska Island in the Aleutian Islands. During the Battle of Surigao Strait in Oct 1944, a torpedo launched by American destroyer McDermut blew the bow off of Asagumo and sank her.

Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945
10 Nov 2018 12:22:11 AM
Shortly after 17.15 hrs on the 27th February 1942, during the Battle of the Java Sea, the Japanese Admiral Takeo Takagi believing that the Allied fleet was trying to break off the action ordered his destroyer flotillas to close in for the kill. The light cruiser Naka, wearing the flag of Rear Admiral Nishimura led its 4th Destroyer flotilla towards the Allied ships, which were desperately trying to regroup. As the Japanese ships closed in, they launched another 60 torpedoes at the Allied cruisers (none of which hit) before hauling away. But just as she had released her torpedoes, the Asashio class destroyer Asagumo was hit fair and square by a 6-inch shell from HMAS Perth (Captain H.M.L. Walker) which caused extensive damage. The destroyer, nonetheless, survived and managed to limp back to port.
