SS 563
The Harushio
(SS 563) can cruise at 14 knots (25.93 km/h) surfaced and 18
knots (33.34 km/h) submerged. She is propelled by two Kawaski
diesels and two electric motors. Her armament includes eight
21-inch (533-mm) torpedo tubes (six forward and two aft).
A Short Career
The Asashio,
Mochishio, Arashio, and Harushio, all built in Kobe and having an
average displacement of 1,650 tons, were modeled after the Ooshio,
which was built as part of a 1961 program. The de-commissioning
of Ooshio class ships began in 1982. Harushio,
built by the Kawasaki shipyards, was laid down in October 1965,
launched less than two years later on February 25, 1967, and
commissioned on December 1, 1967. After a relatively short
career, the Harushio was disarmed in 1985.
