Description

The Japan Marine Self Defense Force (JMSDF) Abukuma is a class of escort corvettes, destroyers for MSDF, with limited anti-submarine (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) capabilities. Its propulsion system combines a cruise diesel engine with a boost gas turbine developing 27,000-shp of power and enabling a top speed of 27 knots. Abukuma features an aft flight deck to allow operation of a single SH-60J helicopter. The weapon system consists of a 76mm dual purpose gun, a 20mm Phalanx gun system mounted before the flight deck, eight Harpoon anti-ship missiles, ASROC rockets and two triple 12.75-in torpedo tubes. MSDF commissioned six ships between 1989 and 1993.
