The Miyakaze-class destroyers (宮風型駆逐艦, Miyakaze-gata kuchikukan) are a class of fast, versatile destroyers for the Arakami Navy. Modelled after the preceding Haki class of destroyers albeit with partly reduced dimensions, it is the newest destroyer in the Komashi naval inventory.
Design and production of the Haki class was met with considerable budgetary opposition owing to its large dimensions, yet lacklustre amount of weaponry. It prompted the Naval Engineering Board of the Arakami Navy to authorise a secondary design. At the completion of the drafting, the Navy authorised one unit to be constructed at first and halted all production of the remaining Haki class, which were still being ordered. Miyakaze entered service rapidly after high priority was placed into its construction, and the design proved to be "extremely satisfactory", as one Naval Engineering Board architect remarked.
