Description
Demonstrating the JMSDF's almost exclusive focus on anti-submarine warfare two of the Haruna-class Destroyer were built in the early 1970s. These vessels chief armament is the trio of HSS-2 (a licence built SH-3) ASW Helicopters in their hangar. Their other systems are similar to the slightly earlier Takatsuki-class.
