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!

this is just disappointing
I don't see any post-war equipment on board, so i don't think I'd be interested in another Fletcher, specially without torpedos and 20mms, since the 2 premium DD I have in the IJN tree are decent, and the Akizuki is a good gunship + AA!
Egh not worth it to be honest maybe next time.
Boy is that lazy! Copy Paste much?
I mean its not the worst vehicle coming this event
I'm honestly disappointed a Japanese Fletcher is going to be a top prize, and I joined WT for naval.
Now this is a unique addition that belongs as a event vehicle, very nice
No, sorry it's not. There's over 100 native Japanese ships they could have added, tons of destroyers classes they could've picked, but they give Japan and American boat. No it's not very nice. It's nonsense. They should/could add this when they exhausted all other options. Out of all the branches of the Japanese trees, Navy has so much to offer, yet we still haven't seen 80% of it.
when is this event?
Soon™
It got "some changes made by Japanese shipbuilders"... What did it get in return for losing the torpedo's and one main gun?
... A post war american ship for a country famous for it's navy in ww2... Please don't be suprised to see this vehicle will not be sought after a lot. Maybe if it was a captured ship with some history to it but this is just nah.
