Hi all,

Just found this today. A new release by Mas of a Matsu Class Destoyer.

A very nice G-max model. Easy on fps too!

Edit; A LINK (http://www.geocities.jp/mtyjr101/original_1.html)

Thanks for the heads up Dvslats!

I've got almost all of Mas' IJN ships in my Pacific installs.

I looked up the Matsu Class DDs and found that they were late war construction optimized for the AA and anti-sub roles. They displced something like 1,650 tons making them much smaller than previous classes of IJN DDs. They shipped sonar and search radar as well depth charges and 3 5" L40 cannon and a heavy small calibre (23mm) armament.

Virtually all of the class was sunk. That vulnerability must have been carried over into the DP of the CFS 2 version as the ship is very quickly sunk with minimum ordnance.
