JSHaguro (DDG-180) is the secondMaya-classguided missile destroyer in theJapan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).[1]She was named afterMount Haguro, one ofThree Mountains of Dewa inYamagata Prefecture.
Haguro participated in the 2022 Pacific Dragon exercise.[2] On 16 November 2022, the guided-missile destroyerMaya fired an SM-3 Block IIA missile, successfully intercepting the target outside the atmosphere in the first launch of the missile from a Japanese warship. On 18 November 2022, theHaguro likewise fired an SM-3 Block IB missile with a successful hit outside the atmosphere. Both test firings were conducted at thePacific Missile Range Facility onKauai Island, Hawaii, in cooperation with the U.S. Navy andU.S. Missile Defense Agency. This was the first time the two ships conducted SM-3 firings in the same time period, and the tests validated the ballistic missile defense capabilities of Japan's newestMaya-class destroyers.[3]
