JS Samidare (DD-106):

Samidare was laid down on September 11, 1997, by Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries at Tokyo as part of the 1995 plan and launched on September 24, 1998. Commissioned on March 21, 2000, the vessel was incorporated into the 4th Escort Corps and deployed to Kure.

The Samidare was deployed to Somalia in 2009 as part of multinational efforts to protect ships passing through the Indian Ocean alongside the Sazanami.

The destroyer participated in the Japan-US-India Joint Training (Malabar 2019) from September 26 to October 4, 2019. It was carried out in the sea and airspace from Sasebo to the south of the Kanto region, and from the JMSDF, there were other escort vessels JS Chōkai and JS Kaga, supply vessels JS Ōmi, and P-1 patrol aircraft. USS McCampbell, a P-8A aircraft, and a submarine from the United States Navy, INS Sahyadri, INS Kiltan, and a P-8I aircraft from the Indian Navy participated in anti-submarine warfare training, anti-submarine warfare training, conducted anti-water shooting training, anti-aircraft shooting training, and offshore replenishment training.

On October 16 of the same year, Samidare conducted communication training using radio with the Chinese Navy destroyer Taiyun (which was scheduled to participate in the JMSDF Fleet review on October 14, but canceled due to Typhoon Hagibis) in the Pacific Ocean south of Kanto region. This was the third Japan-China goodwill training for the JMSDF, the previous being in December 2011.

On May 4, 2022, the Samidare is deployed to Djibouti for anti-piracy operations. In late May, the Samidare was relieved by the JS Harusame (DD-102).
