The last four ships of the class (Firentsu, Aoba, Hantau, and Shintao) were all built as training ships, these were dubbed as the "Firentsu class" training vessels.

The Ein-class destroyer is a class of general purpose destroyers constructed for the United States of the Tao Navy (USTN), and operated by the Imperial Taoist Navy (ITN). This is the slightly modified class of "next-gen" general-purpose destroyers of the ITN.

Development

Since 1983, the USTN had been planning for the next-generation of general-purpose destroyers. This started with the Suzume-class destroyers, for which the Ein class are based off of.

The hull of the Ein class is almost identical to that of the Suzume class, spare a few exceptions, the hull is extremely similar. While most of the superstructure of the two ships is identical, there are some noticable changes to the conning tower.

The combat system is one of the larger upgrades made compared to the Suzume class while the fire control system, and radar systems, are based on the same platform, the models installed on the Suzume class would be considered experimental by many navies, leading to a popular opinion that the Suzume-class destroyers were rushed into construction without the technology the UST wanted to install. The newer and updated systems on the Ein class are widely considered to be much more reliable, and are often considered to be the first real "next-gen" electronic system to be installed on a Taoist ship class.

One of the known, official regrets the USTN had with the Suzume-class destroyers was the J40 3in (76.2mm) cannon instead of the Y22 5in (127mm). The UST was initially having issues with space required for the 5in below the deck, supposedly due to the new electronic systems, which required an abnormal amount of space. After initial trials, the USTN was particularly displeased with the 3in (76.2) cannon on the Suzume class, this is why the DDV-115 and DDV-116 were cancelled, and the USTN requested for the funds to be put towards two more Ein class vessels.

The last four ships of the class (Firentsu, Aoba, Hantau, and Shintao) were all built as training ships, these were dubbed as the "Firentsu class" training vessels.
