JS Hatsuyuki (DD-122) was the lead ship of the Hatsuyuki-class destroyers.
Development and design
Adopting Japan's first all-gas turbine engine (
COGOG
), equipped with well-balanced weapons such as helicopters, C4I systems, and various missiles, it is inferior to Western frigate at that time. It has been evaluated as a non-escort ship. Twelve ships were built as first-generation general-purpose escort vessels in the era of eight ships and eight aircraft, they supported the escort fleet for a long time, but now they are gradually retiring due to aging.
In addition, there are many changes to training ships, and up to three ships have been operated in the training fleet as Shimayuki-class training ships, but the decline has begun with the conversion of Hatakaze-class destroyers to training ships.
The core of the combat system is the
STANAG
5514).
This is the first destroyer class in the JMSDF equipped with the
Boeing Harpoon surface-to-surface missile are adopted from the ship of FY1977 including this class. Also, ships built in FY1979 and beyond carried Phalanx CIWS and were retrofitted to previous ships.[1]
Construction and career
She was commissioned into the
Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force in 1982 and was decommissioned in 2010 with 28 years of active service.[2]
After that, on February 24, 2011, she departed from Yokosuka for Dokai Bay for dismantling.
