 Commissioned in September 1933, the second ship of the Hatsuharu-class Nenohi was quickly returned together with Hatsuharu to the dockyard after the "Tomozuru Incident" to fix the flaw in top-heavy design. After the refit, she and her class were assigned to the 1st Fleet, training up her crew as a new ship until 1940, reassigned to the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet and patrolling and escorting Japanese troops landing in French Indochina. During the initial stage of the invasion, she was docked in Hanoi and served as an ad-hoc radio station to coordinate wireless communications, later she would be rebased in Haiphong while maintaining her role there.

 During the escort of the seaplane tender Kamikawa Maru in the afternoon of 5th of July, sailing at 9 knots in a dense fog with less than 2 km visibility range, Nenohi was torpedoed by USS Triton southeast of Attu, near Agattu Island at 12:50. The ship was hit by a single torpedo starboard amidships, splitting her hull and sinking. The surviving crew and captain from the initial hit climbed the side of the capsized ship in 2 minutes to stay above water, chanting 「子ノ日万歳 (Neno-Hi Banzai)」 until disappearing in the cold water 5 minutes later. Even though it was summer, the Aleutian waters were very cold and with the fog being too thick, any kind of help came too late for 188 crew members including the captain. The next day the seaplane force suspended operations for the day at Kiska island and dispatched the destroyer Inazuma to find any remaining survivors, 38 who drifted their way onto land on Cape Sabak of Agattu Island survived and were rescued. On 31 July 1942, Nenohi was scrapped from the navy list.

 As a 1942 ship, her 610 mm torpedo tubes are loaded with Japan's state-of-the-art Type 93 oxygen torpedoes which can cause a lot of damage and havoc in the waters she and other Japanese ships sail. Just like most Japanese ships and the torpedo doctrine of the Japanese navy, she offers two turrets with 3 tubes totalling 6 tubes, which can be reloaded once.
-Additionally, Nenohi can be equipped with Type 95 depth charges, which in War Thunder can only really be in extreme occasions when patrol boats pass through the 25 mm firing arc and sit at the stern of Nenohi, being able to defend herself by dropping the charges.

-Playing like any Japanese destroyer, the main selling point is the torpedo arsenal she carries the very deadly and fast Type 93 oxygen torpedo which can beat ships 20x her size. At the lower ranks and downtiers Nenohi can face, her 12.7 cm cannons can cause plenty of damage against other destroyers and lighter vessels. Once Nenohi starts facing bigger targets, the best tactic in arcade battles is to sail away from combat range and utilize torpedoes as the primary weapon, while leaving the 12.7 cm's for close-range self-defence. In realistic battles, torpedoes should be preserved for hits that are 100% certain to hit, as reloading torpedoes on objectives is a lengthy process and not very practical.

On the 21st of May, while refuelling from the Fuji Maru, the crew spotted a submarine at 800m at the stern of the Nenohi and attacked it with Type 95 depth charges and reported it sunk. Upon receiving the report, the 5th Fleet ordered the confirmation, identification and any documents on the submarine.
