JDS Harusame (DD-109) was the third ship of the Murasame-class destroyer of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
The Maritime Self-Defense Force began research on domestically produced fire control systems in 1959, made prototypes, and conducted practical experiments with Harusame.
After undergoing technical and practical tests on this ship, the 68-type fire control system (GFCS-0 type) was officially adopted in 1968.
From August 1 to September 14, 1979, anti-submarine weapons were replaced, the short torpedo launcher was removed, and a 68-type triple short torpedo launcher was installed.
In her 29-year history, she has sailed about 660,000 nautical miles, which is equivalent to about 30 laps of the earth.
