Reuploaded for WCU Season 2

The Fubuki-class guided missile destroyers were a class of thirty-two guided missile destroyers built for Japan by Enoshima Heavy Industries during the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. All thirty-two vessels, similarly to their larger brethen in the Fuji-class, were constructed in batches of eight a year apart (compared to the latter's four), and were part of the 'Type-1A' ship design report, combining long range with excellent firepower. In further addition, all thirty-two vessels were also capable of conducting ballistic missile defense and/or anti-supersonic bomber-operations, though they are deployed as a carrier escort vessel as opposed to being stand-by BMD platforms like their larger brethen.
As part of the 'Type-1A-Kai' refit program, starting in 1994, all ships of the class were upgraded over a four-year period to modern standards, amongst which included; phased-array radar and better fire-control radars, an improved 100mm gun, improved missiles and fire-control systems, the newer Type 68 close-in weapon systems, anti-submarine warfare equipment, and a newer electronic warfare suite. The rest of the JINA's ships were also refitted to a similar standard as a new batch of warships would be launched to further bolster their numbers and eventually replace them later on.
Following the naming convention set with the Fuji-class, all ships in the Fubuki-class are named for historic destroyers operated by the Japanese Imperial Naval Arm's predecessor, the Imperial Japanese Navy.
