They look more like minesweepers to me.

[USSAmerica]

If it's 8, it's 2 over the limit for Mynok and my house rule on ASW TF's.  [:D]

[SuluSea]

Looks like Asashio Class Destroyers

An extreme case of tailgating.

Yes think they’re Asashio’s to, also two observations;

You can really see in this shot how top-heavy these special type destroyers were.

I notice these destroyers seem to be carrying a degaussing system on their hulls, never noticed that before.

[sventhebold]

Not practiced in naval arts. Where do you see them?

Looks like degaussing cables around the hull up near were it meets the deck, and across the front of the bow.
