1/700 Ship Model Series Limited Edition
NVE13 Special Type Destroyer Type II Ayanami
The heroic Special Type Destroyer Type II Ayanami from the Third Battle of the Solomon Sea is now available as a limited edition model.
On November 15 1942 despite the loss of the battleship Hiei in a previous engagement the Imperial Japanese Navy once again organized a bombardment force centered around the battleship Kirishima to strike Guadalcanal.
At this time the destroyer Ayanami was on an advanced patrol mission when it encountered a US surface force consisting of two battleships and four destroyers deployed to block the Japanese fleet.
Acting alone Ayanami launched a daring gun and torpedo attack against the enemy fleet.
It successfully destroyed the destroyers Preston and Walke with gunfire and delivered a decisive torpedo strike to Walke sinking it.
A torpedo also struck and sank Benham while the heavily damaged and burning Preston ultimately sank as well.
Additionally shells fired by Ayanami inflicted damage on the electrical circuits of the new battleship South Dakota impairing its combat effectiveness in the battle.
Ayanami's remarkable performance is said to have inspired the name of Rei Ayanami a character in the anime Evangelion.
