The Asahi-class destroyer is a destroyer class of the JMSDF - two ships are planned. The Asahi Class is optimized for undersea threats. This class used to be designated "25DD" - referring to a date on the Japanese calendar, specifically the 25th fiscal year of the Heisei period (2013). It is the third ship to hold the name after the Asahi destroyer escort lent from the US Navy in 1955, and the Imperial Japanese Battleship.
