Ironically, the IJN was pushed to create heavier destroyers by the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, which discouraged the construction of new capital ships. Particular emphasis was placed on ships that were important for the night battle preceding the \"decisive battle.\" Thereby the stage was prepared for the Fubuki class.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: square;\"\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eThe history of their design, construction, and combat history\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eOriginal Japanese war-era source material, including numerous diagrams and photos.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eThe coauthors are recognized authorities in the study of the IJN in WWII\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fubuki class introduced a new standard for Japanese destroyers, a standard followed by almost all Japanese destroyers designed afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e[AuthorName]By Lars Ahlberg and Hans Lengerer[\/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Hans Lengerer and Lars Ahlberg have coauthored books about the aircraft carrier \u003cem\u003eTaihō\u003c\/em\u003e, the armor-clad Fusō- to Kongō-class battle cruisers, and the Yamato-class battleships, the last of which was recently published.
