Akizuki Class

The Akizuki Class destroyer of 2010 is actually the rebirth of the same destroyer, just from 1942. During the Second World War these ships were tasked with fighting smaller ships, aircraft and submarines. Today, their roles have hardly changed since they tackle virtually the same challenges. It takes 200 sailors and officers to keep this destroyer running properly.
