A distance of more than ten kilometers was nothing to destroyers traveling at high speed; it would take only a dozen minutes or so. Two Island Nation Navy Kamikaze-class destroyers charged toward the German Navy's two G-class destroyers with an unstoppable courage.

Although the Kamikaze-class destroyers were more than half smaller than the G-class destroyers, the massive main fleet was behind them, so they were not afraid in the slightest.
