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

Development

Since 1983, the USTN started planning for the next generation of general-purpose destroyers.

The hull design was completely renovated from first-generation DDs. In addition to increasing the size in order to reduce the underwater radiation noise, both the superstructure and hull were inclined to reduce the radar cross-section. There is however no angled tripod mainmast because of the heavy weather of the Seas surrounding the UST in winter.

Aircraft facility is expanded to accommodate two shipboard helicopters. One helicopter is a basic load, and another can be accommodated in case of overseas operation.
