  1. For the IJN ship that took the most beating and was afloat and fighting at the end of the war. That honor goes to Suzutsuki. 1st she took 2 USN torpedoes (both exploded) losing her bow and stern. Got repaired and then took another sub torpedo, losing her bow again. Got repaired and sortied w Yamato at Ten Go, again losing her bow, but this time to probably the most concentrated air attack ever unleashed on any fleet. Made it back to port and continued fighting as a stationary platform thru the end of the war. All that for a wartime destroyer!

  2. The destroyer Suzutsuki. She survived 3 total USN sub launched torpedoes (that did explode) in 2 separate actions. Then was with Yamato and Yukikazi at Ten Go, again surviving with crippling damage. She would end up in reserve, and still fighting off air raids thru the end of the war.
