Shirane class destroyer

The "Shirane" class destroyers are a class of Japanese destroyer originally built during the late 1970s and still in active service. They are built around a large central hangar which houses up to three helicopters and they are the natural successor of the sclass|Haruna|destroyer|2s. They were the first ships in Japanese service to be fitted with 3D radars - the NEC OPS-12.
