Yokosuka 467

The Yokosuka 467, also known as the Harekaze Crew, is the main protagonistic faction in the 2015 manga series High School Fleet and its 2016 anime adaptation, as well as the 2020 movie High School Fleet Movie. Comprised of thirty students from Yokosuka Marine Girls' High School, the crew members of Harekaze would be falsely accused of mutiny by Kaoru Furushou, who was brainwashed by the RATt Virus, forcing them into hiding.
The Harekaze and its crew is led by Akeno Misaki, the namesake ship's captain, where they would later play a vital role in the anime series for stopping the ravaging virus known as the RATt Virus and freeing the infected from its mind control.
In the movie, the Harekaze crew would also play a major part of foiling the Pirates' and its' leader's operations of using a decommissioned seafort to initiate a genocidal terrorist attack across the maritime cities in Japan.
==Description==
===Ship===
The Harekaze is a fictitious Kagerou-class destroyer with red stripes on the hull and superstructure, like other Yokosuka Girls's Marine High School ships. On both sides of the front funnel is the naval academy's insignia.
Only minor differences exist between the Harekaze and the original World War II designs. Two military-grade skippers are stationed at the bow. The majority of her systems, including as the main batteries, are automated, allowing a crew of thirty students to correctly run them.
The Harekaze is the quickest destroyer in her class, as it is equipped with test equipment. The equipment, on the other hand, renders it unsteady, which is why it can only sustain her maximum speed for a brief period.
It is the only destroyer or ship of any kind known to have received weapons upgrades throughout the series. She was armed with three twin-turret Type 3 12.7 cm/50 calibre main guns at the start of the series. The addition of three twin-turret Type 98 10 cm/65 calibre main guns boosted her rate of fire. It was upgraded with three single-turret Mk. 16 5-inch/54 calibre main guns and improved fire control systems at the end, increasing her firepower and rate of fire.
Prior to the Harekaze's renaming, some of its equipment was transferred to the then Okikaze, most notably the ship's aiming binoculars and trumpet. As part of the overhaul, it acquired 15 centimetre SK C/28 main guns.
===Crew===
There are a total of 30 crew members in the Harekaze, who are led by Akeno Misaki, and it is comprised of several officers from each section, including Bridge, Combat, Navigation, Engineering, and Logistics.
==History==
===High School Fleet===
Following the opening ceremony in Yokosuka, Akeno was granted leadership of the Harekaze and its crew, much to Mashiro Munetani's annoyance. The Harekaze and the Musashi and Sarushima, as well as a few of Yokosuka Naval Academy ships, embarked on a two-week maritime exercise in the Nishinoshima New Islands.
The Harekaze and the crew, however, experienced engine difficulty on the way to the rendezvous spot. However, before they could reach the islands, the Sarushima encountered the crew in broad waters and began bombing the destroyer. Akeno ordered a false torpedo to be fired on the Sarushima to cripple the attackers long enough for the rest of the crew to escape. They were, however, labelled as mutineers by Kaoru Furushou as a result of their actions, forcing them to be on the run.
Later on, it is revealed by Minami Kaburagi, Harekaze's Medical Officer, that Furushou and the rest of the Sarushima crew were infected with the RATt Virus, a bio-engineered pathogen that caused all of its infected victims to be hostile to others, and infected the other ships including the Admiral Graf Spee, Hiei, and later Musashi via rats as transmission vectors. They would later save Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingenohl Friedeburg, the Graf Spee's deputy-captain, and warned the group of her own crew being victims, which included her superior Thea Kreutzer.
Enacting an emergency mission to curb the RATt Virus outbreak, the rest of the Harekaze crew and Wilhelmina would proceed to target the brainwashed crew of Hiei and Graf Spee, before saving them.
However, saving the Musashi was another matter for the rest of the Harekaze crew, when they found out that it was making its move to Uraga Channel and attempted to infect the others in the mainland, forcing them to fight off against the brainwashed Musashi crew, and with Akeno saving her childhood friend Moeka China, who was one of the uninfected.
After rescuing the Musashi and preventing an epidemic from breaking out in the mainland, the Harekaze returned to port and delivered her crew safe and sound. Only when it had done so did the ship foundered. While saddened at the loss, the crew honoured the ship for its sacrifice.
A month after the incident, the Harekaze was refloated. Its internal workings were transferred to the Okikaze, which was rechristened as the new Harekaze at Akeno's request.
===High School Fleet Movie===
The Harekaze and its crew also competed, becoming the second crew from Yokosuka to do so, and afterwards followed the fleet in their search for the stronghold. Onboard the Musashi, it is part of the fleet led by Moeka China and the Blue Mermaid member Mashimo Munetani. Its four sister ships escorted and protected the four Yamatos while they pounded the fortress with no effect. The rest of the Harekaze's crew then infiltrate the stronghold using the distraction provided by its sister ships.
Machiko Noma is nearly killed when she loses her main mast and all of her communications equipment while entering. After a unique prototype 36-inch torpedo transported from the Akashi proved ineffectual, it may destroy the fortress's propulsion system using a field-modified device fashioned of Minami Kaburagi's hoverboard. Mashiro Munetani is able to blow an obstacle blocking the exit with her skipper up, allowing the rest of them to flee the crumbling stronghold. The rest of the Harekaze crew is unharmed, and the Harekaze sustained only very minor damage.
