JS Kurihama

JS Kurihama (ASE-6101) was an experimental ship of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

The hull is also a long poop deck, and the rear deck is one step lower, making it easier to lift and lower trial torpedoes.

On the starboard side of the rear work deck, a deck crane with a capacity of 5 tons is installed for the installation and operation of test equipment.

In addition, an ultrasonic measuring device and a torpedo launcher device were installed on the port side, and measuring equipment could be loaded and unloaded according to the content of the test.

On 6 April 2012, a self-defense ship flag return ceremony was held at Yokosuka Base and she was retired.
