Hatsuyuki class destroyer
- Hatsuyuki class destroyer
The "Hatsuyuki" class destroyer is a class of Japanese destroyer, serving with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). It was the third generation of general purpose destroyers, though like its predecessor, the sclass|Yamagumo|destroyer, the main task is ASW. The class was completed between 1982 and 1987. Due to its size it would be more appropriately classed as a frigate.
The "Shirayuki" (DD-123) was retrofitted with the Phalanx CIWS system in early 1982, the modification was applied to the rest of the class gradually - being completed by 1996. The "Matsuyuki" (DD-130) was fitted with a towed sonar array in 1990, followed by the "Hatsuyuki" (DD-122) in 1994, work ongoing to apply the fit to the rest of the class. From DD-129 onwards, steel replaced aluminium for key elements of the superstructure, including the bridge, this increased the overall displacement.
"Shimayuki" (DD-133) was re-classed training vessel in 18 March 1999.
