TheHatakaze-class ofguided-missile destroyers is a third generationclass of vessels in service with theJapan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). They were the first of the JMSDF's ships to havegas-turbine propulsion.

The core weapon suite of the class is similar to that of the precedingTachikaze class, but various improvements were made in many areas. Most notable are those that allow theHatakaze-class to function as a groupflagship. Normally, this duty resides with a larger type of ship, but, in case of their absence due to repairs, accident, or battle damage, theHatakaze design allows for it to function as acommand ship.

Hatakaze destroyers operate the OYQ-4-1 type tactical control system. Its weapon systems include theStandard missilesurface-to-air missile,anti-submarine rockets, theRGM-84 Harpoonanti-ship missile, two Mark 15 20 mmCIWS gun mounts, twotorpedo mounts in a triple tube configuration, and two 5 inch/54 caliber Mark 42 rapid-fire guns.
