| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Yukikaze (雪風, "Snowy Wind") was a Kagero-class destroyer that was in service with the Imperial Japanese Navy, commissioned in 1939 and seeing frequent combat during World War II, even participating in famous battles. Yukikaze survived the war, but was given to the Republic of China as war reparations and renamed ROCS Dan Yang (丹陽), though was scrapped in 1970 after being damaged beyond repair by a typhoon. In an alternate universe explored in the 2023 film Godzilla Minus One, the Yukikaze was returned to Japan, after some negotiations, and helped to defeat Godzilla, it was captained by Tatsuo Hotta.

In its final wartime configuration, Yukikaze carried 4 127mm Type 3 naval guns, up to 28 25 mm Type 96 AA guns, up to 4 13.2mm AA guns and eight 610mm torpedo tubes. In real life, after the war ended every single piece of armament were completely stripped off the ship and later replaced with completely different armament while in Taiwanese service.
