Armed with seven 14cm guns \u003cbr\u003eand four dual 61cm torpedo launchers and with a top speed of 36 knots, \u003cbr\u003eshe had significant offensive capabilities. During a training exercise \u003cbr\u003ein October 1930, the Abukuma lost its bow, so it became the only ship in\u003cbr\u003e the Nagara-class to have the high double curved bow for better \u003cbr\u003eseaworthiness. While undergoing modernization, the Abukuma was fitted \u003cbr\u003ewith powerful two quadruple 61cm torpedo launchers. During the Pacific \u003cbr\u003eWar, it served as the flagship for the 1st Destroyer Squadron and as an \u003cbr\u003eescort for the Pearl Harbor attack force. She also took part in \"the \u003cbr\u003emiraculous operation,\" the withdrawal from Kiska.
