Submarine class

The Yūshio class was a Japanese diesel-electric submarine class operated by the JMSDF. It was a second generation submarine, a development of the Uzushio class, incorporating a teardrop hull, with a resulting increase in underwater performance on the Uzushio class. Ten were built under the fourth defense plan in 1975 fiscal year. A training submarine, Yukishio, was retired on March 7, 2008. All vessels were retired on the completion of the Harushio class and eventually scrapped with exception of the JDS Akishio which is on display at the JMSDF Kure Museum.
