Inazuma (電 "Lightning") [1] was the twenty-fourth (and last) Fubuki-class destroyer destroyers, or the fourth (and last) of Akatsuki-class destroyer (if that sub-class is considered independently), built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the inter-war period. When introduced into service, these ships were the most powerful destroyers in the world.[2] They remained formidable weapons systems well into the Pacific War.
