The Oyashio class is a series of Japanese diesel-electric attack submarines operated by the JMSDF. The submarines entered service in the late 1990s. The submarines are larger than the earlier Harushio class, to provide space for a flank sonar array.

There are a total of 11 boats in the class - the last boat was commissioned in 2008. Oyashio, Michishio, and Kuroshio share their names with World War II destroyers Takashio shares a name with a third set of Yūgumo-class destroyers, of which none were built.


On February 1, 2018, The Ministry of Defence’s Maritime Staff Office, revealed that seven of the service’s 82 m Oyashio-class submarines, which have a surface displacement of 2,800 tonnes - have already completed service-life extension work to date. The seven boats have received extensive refits during their second and third maintenance cycles, which have been planned to bring the vessels to almost the same level of that of the latest model Sōryū-class submarine, while extending their service lives.

The first two boats have since been converted to training submarines:
SS-590 Oyashio redesignated TSS-3608 in March 2015
SS-591 Michishio redesignated TSS-3609 in February 2017

Builders:
Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation, Kobe, Japan (KSC)
