The Super Shimakaze-class destroyers (超島風型駆逐艦 Chō-Shimakaze kata kuchiku-kan?) were a projected class of destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), developed during the Second World War. The intention was to develop a mass-production destroyer based on the experimental destroyer Shimakaze. The IJN Fleet Command gave them the project number V6. However, the project was cancelled with none of the proposed ships being completed, because the IJN was heavily crippled at Midway on June 1942.
