JDS Yozuro

Realistically, there never was a Littoral Combat Ship known as the Yozuro, aka in English, Nightsky. And there never was a Japanese ship that went rogue.

In The Lone Destroyer series, specifically in the second installment of TLD, the JS Yozuro was a Littoral Combat Ship. The ship was handed by the United States Navy and have the Japanese Navy regain its naval power. And it did. The Japanese Navy was full of knockoff, but effective World War II ships. The Yozuro was part of the project to modernize the JN.

The JDS Yozuro was lead by a rogue naval commander named Arashi, meaning 'storm'. Arashi was the best commander in the Japanese Navy. Really really smart. The XO was Commander Miku.

The crew soon followed the commissioned officers. The Yozuro was part of the IJN Resurrection Campaign, the Campaign was about the Japanese Navy becoming the IJN from WWII again. They felt they could become more powerful than they were 5 decades ago.

The Yozuro was the flagship of the IJN in modern time. She was met with a very worthy and formidable opponent: the American veteran destroyer Rafael Peralta.

The LCS had faced the DDG several times out in sea but the Japanese ship was sunk by the Rafael Peralta after taking several missile and 5-inch hits.
