Historical Information

The destroyer Momi was a vessel designed by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early 1920s. It belonged to the Momi class – the first series of post-war destroyers built by Japan. These ships were characterized by their light and slender silhouettes and modern technical solutions, allowing them to perform both escort and convoy protection duties. Momi-class destroyers served actively from the late interwar period as well as during the early years of World War II, participating among others in Pacific convoys and naval operations in the areas of China and Southeast Asia.
