JS Kirishima (DDG-174):
 
In 2003 the Kirishima was deployed to the Indian Ocean as logistical support for US forces engaged in the War on Terror. This prompted some opposition including protests and boatloads of protesters attempting to block the ship from leaving its harbor at Yokosuka. It was later replaced in the deployment by the destroyer DDG-173 JS Kongō.

Kirishima underwent modification at Nagasaki to add the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMD) capability to its weapons suite.

This ship was one of several in the JMSDF fleet participating in disaster relief after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

The ship was also deployed in preparation for North Korea's launch of Kwangmyŏngsŏng-3 in March 2012.

From 26 June to 1 August 2014, Kirishima participated in RIMPAC alongside DDH-182 JS Ise. In November, it participated in the Keen Sword 15 exercises with the US. The ship was responsible for guarding USS George Washington, the US aircraft carrier then forward-deployed to Japan.
