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.
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.

Twenty vessels have been ordered by Dresia to operate alongside their Fuji-class cruisers ordered earlier, with their delivery to be sceduled for 1970. The Commonwealth of Swann currently also operates 50 vessels, which they refer to as the Frederick Meyer-class destroyers.
