(Otori class (of 8 units)
The ships of the Otori-class is a further development of the former Chidori-class (please see my models of Tomozuro and Hatsukari) they differ in armament and tonnage due to the heavily overweight before. The class of the ship was designed as Torpedo boats (coastal destroyers) but there main objective was escort duties through the war. This task was well for the boats as the class was potent and dangerous to any allied submarines that came in vicinity of the convoy they escorted, due to the intensive AS equipment she later carried as the war proceeds.
Sagi was well used as a escort for convoys through the war, and she was attacked by USS SEAWOLF on August 31,1943 on a convoy duty in East China Sea, but survived just to came in same situation on November 8, 1944 when USS GUNNEL torpedoed and sunk her while escorting a convoy from Takao to Manila, 60 miles WSW of Cape Bolinao, Luzon (16-09N, 118-56E).
