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 Yamagumo-class destroyer the main task is anti-submarine warfare. The class was completed between 1982 and 1987. Due to its size it would be more appropriately classed as a frigate.
