h4. History
The historical IJN [i]Hagikaze[/i] was the escort of the IJN [i]Kaga[/i] during the ill-fated Battle of Midway, and both rescued survivors and ultimately scuttled the carrier. She later went on to be sunk during the humiliating "Battle of Vella Gulf,":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vella_Gulf where American radar (and the Japanese lack thereof) resulted in a night battle where American forces achieved total surprise and were never struck by a single round of enemy fire.  She sank alongside [i][[kawakaze (kancolle)|Kawakaze]][/i] and her sister-ship [i][[arashi (kancolle)|Arashi]][/i], while [i][[shigure (kancolle)|Shigure]][/i] escaped.
