Yūgure was a Fletcher-class destroyer originally operated by the U.S. during WWII and loaned to the Japanese Navy in the late 1950’s. Soon, captains will have the chance to command Yūgure as she becomes available as one of the top prizes in the upcoming crafting event, beginning soon in War Thunder!
Yūgure (DD-184), destroyer, Japan, II rank, premium.
Pros
- Excellent firepower
- Good versatility
- Premium bonuses
Cons
- No torpedoes
- Fewer cannons than the original Fletcher design
Prior to being loaned to the JMSDF, Yūgure was known as the USS Richard P. Leary (DD-664) and was one of many Fletcher-class destroyers built for the USN during WWII. Commissioned in 1944, the ship took part in some of the last major operations in the Pacific theatre before being decommissioned and put into reserve in 1946.
In 1959, USS Richard P. Leary as well as another Fletcher destroyer were loaned to the JMSDF and was renamed to Yūgure. In Japanese service, the destroyer was modified several times to better fit the anti-submarine warfare and training ship roles. Yūgure would end up serving with the Japanese Navy until 1974 before the ship was returned to the U.S. and ultimately sold for scrap in 1976.
Yūgure will be one of the top prizes awaiting captains and participants in the upcoming event taking place in War Thunder soon. As a Fletcher destroyer, Yūgure retained many of this class’ signature features, such as its excellent versatility, while also incorporating some changes made by Japanese shipbuilders during her postwar service.
Distinguishing itself from other ships of its class, Yūgure lost one of its 5’’ main guns and also its 21’’ torpedo launchers, but still retains an excellent rate of fire in her main guns as well as five dual 40mm Bofors cannons to take care of any smaller vessels and aircraft in particular. On top of this, Yūgure is also a premium vessel, meaning that captains are able to earn more rewards for all actions performed in combat - a trait most welcomed by new captains aspiring to quickly climb the ranks of the Japanese bluewater naval tree!
All captains will have the chance to commission Yūgure into their battle fleet by taking part in the upcoming crafting event, starting soon in War Thunder. Stay tuned and calm seas!

Kinda Disappointing Out Of All Japanese Vessels, An American Post-War Lendlease (And Not Even A Late Japanese Refit). Hopefully This Means It's Only A Premium Related Option So All Other Japanese Contenders Would See Tech Tree Use.
To Fill In On The Refit, Out Of All The Refit She Went Through, None Have Been Chosen And The Worst Possible Config Has Been Chosen As A Premium Option..
Yeah. Giving Japan copy paste DD seems odd. I know Japanese destroyer guns have issues but their tops are far and away the best in game. This just doesn't feel right.
Ewwwww boat
Lol, if anyone was getting a boat, it was gonna be japan. Lolz
floating kugelblitz
Holy crap, that leak was actually real!
People give the leaks a ton of doubt and rightfully so but they're the only option beyond data miners, random speculation, and "sTay TUned tO tHe nEwS!1!".
Kek what a disappointment, the 1934 original Yugure would have been way better than this
Way Better Is Kinda Of An Exaggeration. Totally Agree There's Better Options, But Alas. It's Gaijin.
ShimakazeChan, 5x127mm and 3x3 torpedo launchers? With japanese torpedoes? Way better imho
So it is missing some armaments but have you guys looked in the manual, maybe it is capable of carrying more guns and torpedoes.
Sorry Comrade. Only applies to Germany.
Conte_Baracca, No, it only applies to what whales will buy on the market or spend GE to get in the event. Basically, it only applies to what sells.
Giving the third largest WW2 navy a copy-paste, because that makes SO much sense...
Would've been great if Japan got some actually Japanese destroyers, rather than second-hand American ones.
Why not kitakami XDD
Kanaria, Kitakami would be perfect premium/event ship, as long as she is added as torpedo cruiser.
That uninteresting vehicles for this event, it will be without me, saving time
I greatly enjoy the Fletcher in Naval, looking forward to this if I can get it.
Historical loadout or loadout said in the manual? XD
Dozer15, This needs like.. a super upvote
' a trait most welcomed by new captains ' Yeah, because RP and SL gain in naval is atrocious.
It's like they are trying to kill the mode.
