The Ōkami-class guided missile destroyer, known to the Engleans as the Hurrikan IV-class guided missile destroyer, is a class guided missile destroyers constructed for the United States of the Tao Navy and the Kaiserliche-Marine. The class serves as a pillar of the modern USTN and KM fleets. Constructed mainly in the 1990s, these ships were largely considered to be revolutionary for their time, and many experts consider them comparable to many of the ships other nations are producing today.
