Re: U,S. Destroyers vs Japans and German Destroyers.

IJN destroyers was really good n' one edge the IJN did have was the "Long Lance" torpedo that was a real threat to the USN. Bigger warhead n' greater range than the allied torpedoes at the time. Plus the fact that IJN seamanship was pretty good. USN expanded cosiderably n' that led to a great number of sailors that had to learn the tricks of the trade rather quick.
