What's the justification for the phrase "a virtual cruiser"? Sure she was a bit longer than contemporary tincans, but her armament was comparable to other destroyers of both the IJN and the USN. Nibios (talk) 22:17, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just pointing out, there is no information on the sinking of the ship, as in the Japanese version of the article. I'd translate but am not that sure of my translation skills. Also, should a mention be made of the Kantai Collection game, which features the ship? It's going to become a lot more famous in pop culture soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppayne (talk • contribs) 06:04, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a bit late to this party (about 10 years) but regarding the pop culture, nowadays, there is also Azur Lane as well which has taken over significantly more in the west. So if we decide to include pop culture, we might also want to include that. FinlayDaG33k (talk) 16:53, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article now states "Photographs from the wreck also debunk that she had one of her turrets removed in an early 1944 refit"; this is untrue. US Navy aircraft imaged the Shimakaze on 11 November 1944, off Leyte, and the image is freely viewable. It features on the JA (Japanese - 日本語) language page accessible in the languages bar on the left side. Thusly, it is an untrue claim as the photograph easily allows this to be determined and has been available for considerable time. Higher resolution versions of the photograph are available outside of Wikimedia. Laheugan (talk) 19:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
