Asashio as of 1943:
[ img ]
At the start of the war Asashio was fitted with a degaussing cable, also, the machine gun platforms were enclosed to give better protection from strafing for the AA crews; by mid-1942 the name spelled in katakana kanjis on both sides of the hull was removed.
Asashio was sunk with all hands during the battle of the Bismark Sea, on 3 march 1943, before further wartime modifications could be made.

Minegumo as of 1943:
[ img ]
other than differing from Asashio because the degaussing cable layout and the longer enclosed bridge wings, Minegumo also recieved an extra twin 25mm machine gun mount, fitted on a platform placed ahead of the bridge structure.
Minegumo was sunk with 46 dead on 5 march 1943 night, during the Battle of the Blackett Strait.
