The Asagiri-class destroyer was built during the 1980s for service with the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force.
This class of general purpose destroyer is an extended version of its predecessor Hatsuyuki-class destroyers, and is mainly tasked with ASW and ASUW. The Asagiri-class vessels feature several enhancements and/or improvements over the Hatusyuki class, such as:
Asagiri, Yūgiri, and Amagiri were named after World War II destroyers. Amagiri's World War II namesake rammed and sank PT-109.
The Yamagiri and Asagiri have been converted into training vessels.
