Japanese destroyer Kaya (榧, "torreya nucifera") was a Template:Sclass- built for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.
Design and description
The Matsu-class ships were designed as a cheap escort destroyer optimized for mass production. The ships measured 100 meters (328 ft 1 in) overall, with a beam of 9.35 meters (30 ft 8 in) and a draft of 3.3 meters (10 ft 10 in). They displaced 1,282 metric tons (1,262 long tons) at standard load and 1,554 metric tons (1,529 long tons) at deep load.
The ships had two Kampon geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by two Kampon water-tube boilers. The turbines were rated at a total of 19,000 shaft horsepower (14,000 kW) for a designed speed of 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph). They had a range of 4,680 nautical miles (8,670 km; 5,390 mi) at a speed of 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph).
The main armament of the Matsu class consisted of three Type 89 127-millimeter (5.0 in) dual purpose guns in one twin-gun mount aft and one single mount forward of the superstructure. They carried a total of twenty-four Type 96 25-millimeter (1.0 in) anti-aircraft guns in four triple and a dozen single mounts. The ships were also armed with four 610-millimeter (24.0 in) torpedo tubes in a single quadruple traversing mount and 36 depth charges.
Construction and career
Kaya was launched by Maizuru Naval Arsenal on 30 July 1944 and completed on 30 September. The ship began performing escort missions beginning in November 1944. In December the ship took part in the bombardment of San Jose before returning to Japan, where it surrendered.
