Shiranui (sometimes known as Shiranuhi) was a Japanese destroyer laid down in 1937, launched in June 1938, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in December 1939. At the time of launching, the ship was 118.5 m long, 10.8 m wide, and her standard displacement was about 2,100 tons. Destroyer Shiranui's top speed was up to 35-36 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 6 127 mm guns in three twin turrets, and the secondary armament was 4 25 mm cannons, depth charge launchers and eight 610 mm torpedo tubes. Shiranui was the second destroyer in the Kagero-class. Units of this type were created as part of the Japanese fleet expansion program of 1937 and 1939. They returned to the use of strong artillery (6 127 mm guns), which had already appeared on the Fubuki-class destroyers.
