JDS Amatsukaze was a guided missile destroyer (DDG) of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the only ship of its class. This was the first Japanese surface combatant equipped with surface-to-air missiles. She was launched on October 5, 1963, and decommissioned in 1995. The Tartar weapon system of this ship made a strong impression on the JMSDF, but it was too expensive to have another Tartar DDG at once. So the JMSDF had to wait 10 years to have another DDG, Tachikaze-class.
