General Characteristics and Role
The JS Sawayuki (DD-125) was the fourth ship of the Hatsuyuki-class destroyers built for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). This class marked a significant shift for the JMSDF as it was the first class of destroyers built with a completely gas turbine propulsion system (COGOG – Combined Gas or Gas), greatly enhancing their acceleration and responsiveness. The Hatsuyuki class was designed primarily for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and served as the backbone of the JMSDF’s Destroyer Flotillas throughout the Cold War era and into the 21st century. The class represented a modern, multi-purpose warship designed to operate as a central component of task groups.
