The Asagiri-class is a class of destroyers used by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). These ships were designed for anti-submarine warfare and are equipped with advanced sonar systems and torpedoes. The class features a stealthy design, allowing for reduced radar visibility. Commissioned in the late 1980s, the Asagiri-class consists of several vessels that have been actively involved in various maritime operations. They are capable of multi-role missions, including air defense and surface warfare, making them versatile assets in Japan's naval fleet.
