JDS Akizuki (DD-115)

The Original Destroyer
The Japanese Defense Ship (JDS) Akizuki, which means Autumn Moon in English, was first featured in The Lone Destroyer 1: Kancolle.

JDS Akizuki had only been in two wars, the Japanese/Chinese and Abyssal War. During the Abyssal War, the Akizuki was one of the three remaining warships in the whole Japanese Navy. But shortly before the events of TLD 1 took place, the three warships suffered from a bomb attack executed by the Abyssals. They managed to sink the other two warships, Atago and Isonami. However, the Akizuki remained seaworthy but lost the captain of the ship.

When Captain Duong was called to Kagoshima to assist the Japanese Navy, he was posted as the temporary CO of the Akizuki. For most of the time he commanded the ship and implied tactics he used during the war against the Abyssals.

During the final hours of the Akizuki, it was ambushed by its enemy and was sunk along with 1/3rd of its crew.
