The Momi-class destroyers were a class of twenty-one second-class destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy.^[1] All were named for plants. Obsolete by the beginning of the Pacific War, the Momis were relegated to mostly secondary roles, with some vessels serving throughout the war as patrol vessels or high speed transports.
