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!

Where... Are... My... Monthly... Decals??? :D
Of all the Japanese destroyer classes not already represented in the game that you could have picked, you decided to go with a Fletcher lent from the US? Seriously? And a nerfed Fletcher at that... How disappointing. Not to mention having a tier 2 4.0 or 4.3 br ship as a top reward is laughable.
Japanese Fletcher? Heresy.
Agree as I'd want a japanese clemson more as it's much more unique than a fletcher, look up USS Steward DD-224 a very unique vessel in japanese service, her US captain after they scuttled her in Java would be go down with DD-226 in Darwin in 42.
So are we gettimg the U.S. m8 cavalry tank too?
Rank 2? I was hoping it would be rank 3 like the Cowell so that it's usable during events and for tasks. What a disappointment I wish that stupid cursed tech tree rework never happened.
cant wait for this thing to be 100 dollars on the market
good joke. It s a nerfed copy paste fletcher. it wont be more than 20
That's what crafting event vehicle should not be. A fletcher that we already have in game? No thank you. Why do you have to do that? It matches no criteria that make a good event vehicle... This event is disappointing, everyone will go for the phantom and maybe the su-76, but very few will care for this ship.
Hm of all the vessels you could give an it's a post war tone down fletcher hm, Probably won't get this an I'm an NF main since the early tests, Still you lot could of done better maybe even the more unique Ex USS Steward DD-224 which was captured had a trunk funnel an a crap tonne of cannons now that would of been a very unique ship for japan as an event vessel, before anyone cries about captured stuff the K class sloop is in game.
Rank 2 ship as a top reward when you could be getting a rank 6-7 tank and jet instead. I don't see many people bothering with it. Rank 2 vehicles weren't much useful before when we had warbonds rewards and marathons to grind and became especially pointless with battle pass introduction.
When event starts 1st April or the announcement will be posted day before?
