dbo:abstract Kuwa (桑, "Mulberry") was one of 18 Matsu-class escort destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Completed on 25 July 1944, Kuwa was assigned to Desron 11 of the Combined Fleet for training. Organizational demands meant she spent the next three months attached to Desdiv 43 (an antisubmarine formation) while officially part of Desron 11. Kuwa's assignment to Desdiv 43 was formalized shortly before the Battle of Leyte Gulf, where she was part of the escort for the Northern Force. After Zuihō sank, Kuwa rescued the majority of her survivors, so overloading the small destroyer that they had to be forbidden from moving until some could be transferred to other ships at Okinawa. Afterwards, Kuwa returned to Kure for minor repairs, then escorted the battleships Ise and Hyūga during their transportation run to Manila. Massive air raids deterred the battleships from completing the journey; their cargo was transferred to fast transports at the Spratly Islands, which Kuwa and others escorted through to Manila Bay. Kuwa spent the next two weeks operating near Manila. Kuwa's final operation was to escort convoy TA-7 from Manila to Ormoc Bay. Reaching the destination late on 2 December 1944, Kuwa took up a patrol position seaward of the unloading convoy, while her sister Take took on survivors from a previous convoy. Unfortunately for Kuwa, this meant that when three American destroyers attacked just after midnight, she was their first target. Charging to meet the enemy, Kuwa was savaged by gunfire, out of action by 0020 and sinking thereafter. She did not go down alone, however; USS Cooper was hit by a torpedo, broke in two, and also sank. The two remaining American destroyers fled, fearing Japanese reprisal; Take and the convoy also hastily departed, only rescuing eight of Kuwa's survivors as they passed. Many made it to shore, but some were still afloat when US forces returned to rescue Cooper's survivors, and were taken prisoner. Kuwa was struck from the Navy List on 10 February 1945.

Appartenente alla 43ª Divisione, prese attivamente servizio in ottobre e fece in tempo a essere presente alla battaglia del Golfo di Leyte, assistendo la portaerei Zuiho. Dopo un breve ritorno in Giappone fece parte di una formazione incaricata di trasferire rinforzi a Manila, missione completata a metà novembre; distaccato verso il Brunei, fu richiamato prima della fine del mese nella capitale filippina e aggregato alla scorta di uno degli ultimi convogli diretto a Leyte. Fu affondato nelle prime ore del 3 dicembre nella baia di Ormoc da tre cacciatorpediniere statunitensi che, tuttavia, non riuscirono a impedire la missione di rifornimento.
