The Asashio-class Destroyers (朝潮型駆逐艦) was the first Japanese destroyer class to exceed 2,000 tons displacement after the Japanese government allowed the treaty to expire without renewal. They were built under the Maru-2 Supplementary Naval Expansion budget of 1934.
During the war the Asashio-class destroyers operated in the 8th, 9th and 18th Destroyer Divisions.
