The Kikuzuki-class is a class of destroyers built for the Republic of Dayashina Navy. The Kikuzuki-class is the most recent iteration in Dayashina's line of ASW-oriented destroyers. It is largely derived from the Kasumi-class, and features notable electronic warfare upgrades, a larger VLS cell count, and a high-performance sonar array.
