Product Description
DD-120 [Shiranui] is the second ship of the [Asahi]-class general-purpose destroyer escort and entered service in February 2019, making it the most recent type of DD (general-purpose destroyer escort) ship.
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 [Shiranui] is based in Ōminato and belongs to the 4th Surface Squadron of the 1st Surface Battle Group.
