Uraga Dock Company
"Ikazuchi", built at the Uraga Dock Company, was the third of the “Type III” improved series of "Fubuki" destroyers, incorporating a modified gun turret which could elevate her main battery of Type 3 127 mm 50 caliber naval guns to 75° as opposed to the original 40°, thus permitting the guns to be used as dual purpose guns against aircraft. "Ikazuchi" was laid down on 7 March 1930, launched on 22 October 1931 and commissioned on 15 August 1932.
