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!

Fantastic! I need her. <3
Why couldn't you add the Hatsuharu class Yūgure? Or maybe a Takao class cruiser for instance, Chōkai or Maya could easily be premiums or reward vehicles. There's also tons of other destroyer classes to pick from for Japan, but no... it's Japan we have to give them trash over and over again, this time it isn't even Japanese trash, it's American trash. What next patch, another Howitzer meme vehicle for ground forces and the second leased US Fletcher, and maybe bounce the Type 90s to 11.0.
Or they could have gone with the Harukaze class if they wanted a post-war JMSDF vessel that's actually built and designed by Japan to be put in the game. but they didn't... And of which is actually commissioned in the JMSDF earlier than the leased Fletcher class.
Gaijin missed a huge opportunity to add another domestic ship to the Japanese tech tree with this. If people wanted to play American ships they would go down the US tech tree. Naval is still in its infancy - national tech trees don't need exceptional ships when they are still missing staples.

4 turrets? What's up with you dismounting existing turrets from Japanese ships? First Shimakaze, now Yugure.
She only had 4 turrets in this configuration. Not a mistake.
Magiaconatus, I don't know, looking at pictures of USS Richard P. Leary and I clearly see 5 turrets.
Looks like the leak list was correct after all... Looking forward to the AGS then.
JDS Fletcher, cool.
What about the old bushes. Will you bring them back in the future?
I hoped to see Japanized Fletcher-class with modernized bridge & mast :( Anyway it will be good ship
Did japan need this? When they have the best Event DD in game to uptier agaisnt CA n BB?.
