ww2dbaseShigure had a reputation of luck during the most of WW2. At the Battle of Vella Gulf, the Battle of Surigao Strait, and an escort mission with the aircraft carrier Unryu, she survived all three battles when her squadron mates were all sunk. She was torpedoed by American submarine Blackfin in the Gulf of Siam off Khota Bharu, Malaya in Jan 1945.
