The Asashimo was a Japanese destroyer whose keel was laid in January 1943, launched in July 1943, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in November 1943. The length of the ship at the time of launching was 119.2 m, width 10.8 m, and the actual full displacement - 2,520 tons. The maximum speed of destroyer Asashimo was up to 35.5 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 6 127 mm guns in three twin turrets, and the secondary armament were 25 mm cannons, depth charge launchers and eight 610 mm torpedo tubes with eight spare torpedoes.

Asashimo was the sixteenth Yugumo-class destroyer. Units of this type were created as part of the 1939 and 1941 Japanese fleet expansion program. Units of this class were in fact an improved Kagero type: they were slightly larger, with new main artillery turrets and an extended stern. The stock of depth charges was also increased. However, they had the same engine room, similar ship layout, and identical main and torpedo armaments. The weak anti-aircraft armament, which was systematically strengthened during the war in the Pacific, was still a drawback. Destroyer Asashimo began its short combat trail during World War II with the cover of a large convoy that sailed from Japan and headed for the Truk base in February 1944. He then managed to sink the American submarine USS Trout. In the following months of this year, he performed very similar tasks - also with the island of Guam as the destination port. The first really great battle that Asashimo took part in was the Battle of the Philippine Sea (June 1944). Shortly thereafter, he also took part in the Battle of Leyte Bay (October 1944). Destroyer Asashimo was sunk during Operation Ten-Go on April 7, 1945.
