| − | Back in June 2016's Comtiq Magazine, an interview was conducted with Kantai Collection's producer Kensuke Tanaka, and artist Shizuma Yoshinori where they discussed about the work they did together back while producing the game. It was revealed through their interview that Yoshinori originally created Shimakaze's design for the [[Fubuki|Fubuki-class]]. But as revealed the design looked too fast to fit the ''Fubuki''-class so Takana suggested that Yoshinori use this design and re-do it for Shimakaze. | + | Back in June 2016's Comtiq Magazine, an interview was conducted with Kantai Collection's producer Kensuke Tanaka, and artist Shizuma Yoshinori where they discussed the work they did together back while producing the game.

| − | Shimakaze was planned and built as the experimental prototype of a new class of heavy destroyers, designated "Type C" (丙型駆逐艦). Sixteen other units were ordered but later canceled due to more pressing wartime needs. Though never repeated, she was a successful design, combining large size (some 25 feet longer than ''Yuugumo''-class), firepower (six 5" guns in new Type D turrets), and heavy torpedo armament (three quintuple sets of 24" tubes, the most powerful such broadside ever mounted on a Japanese destroyer) with a 40-knot top speed. The latter was thanks to new high-pressure, high-temperature boilers able to generate nearly 80,000 shaft horsepower and would have propelled all future Japanese destroyer designs, had circumstances permitted their construction. | + | Shimakaze was planned and built as the experimental prototype of a new class of heavy destroyers, designated "Type C" (丙型駆逐艦).
