Product Description
DD-119 [Asahi] is the latest type of DD (general-purpose destroyer) to date, having entered service in March 2018 as a modified [Akizuki]-class general-purpose destroyer.
The hull is based on the Akizuki-class, and it will be the first destroyer to adopt a hybrid (COGLAG) main engine system combining gas turbines and electric propulsion.
Furthermore, the upper bridge is larger than that of the Akizuki-class destroyers because it houses the concentrated OPY-1 multi-function radar.
While this ship is a general-purpose destroyer capable of anti-air, anti-ship, and anti-submarine warfare, it is distinguished from the Akizuki-class destroyers, which are primarily designed for fleet air defense, by its significantly enhanced anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
As of 2026, the [Asahi] is based in Sasebo and belongs to the 5th Surface Squadron of the 2nd Surface Battle Group.
