JS Yugiri (DD-153):

The destroyer participated in maritime training in the Philippines from 1 July to 4 August 1995. On 2 November, the same year, US Secretary of Defense William J. Perry visited the ship.

The ship participated in the Exercise RIMPAC from 19 May to 13 August 1996. On 4 June, the vessel was involved in an exercise with a US Navy aircraft carrier towing a target during a shooting training with a Mk.15 Phalanx CIWS over the western Pacific Ocean about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) west of Hawaii. An incident occurred in which an A-6E carrier-based attack aircraft from USS Independence was shot down by mistake (the pilots were rescued by an escape internal fireboat of Yūgiri). Though a malfunction in the Phalanx CIWS was initially implicated as the cause of the incident, human error was later blamed.

The vessel was dispatched to the Great East Japan Earthquake caused by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku Earthquake on 11 March 2011.

On 31 August 2012, the 13th dispatched anti-piracy action water squadron departed from Ōminato for the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia with JS Makinami. On 23 January 2013, on her way home after completing her mission, she conducted goodwill training with the Maldives National Defense Force Coast Guard patrol boat Shahid Ali in the Indian Ocean, and returned to Ōminato on 11 February. On 7 March 2013, she was transferred to the 11th Escort Squadron under the direct control of the escort fleet due to reorganization, and the fixed port became Yokosuka again and transferred to the same area. After the transfer, undergo regular inspections and life extension work at Hakodate Dock.

On 6 March 2016, as the 24th dispatched anti-piracy action water squadron, sailed from Yokosuka base to the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia with JS Yūdachi and returned to Yokosuka on 7 September. In addition, on 1 September on the way back to Japan, a goodwill training was conducted with the Philippine Navy's BRP Rajah Humabon.
