HMS Yūdachi (pennant number 118) is the lead ship of the ten Yūdachi-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was laid down in 2010 and was commissioned the following year. The HMS Yūdachi currently operates as part of the Lucian Home Fleet and is currently planned to be included as one of the escort ships for the new HMS King Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII aircraft carrier as part of the Defence and Security Review of 2015, which was commissioned by Defence Minister Sir. Noel Kreiss to modernize and broaden the Lucis Armed Forces' capabilities. While the carrier is still being prepared for its commission in 2017, HMS Yūdachi currently serves as a patrolling ship in the Aomorinese Strait between the Mainland Lucis and Aomori.
