Natori (なとり) is a frigate of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF),[5] and the ninth ship of the Mogami class.[2][1][3] She is named after the Natori River, which flows through the cities of Natori and Sendai in the Miyagi Prefecture,[5][1] and the second ship to be named this way, after the Imperial Japanese Navy's Nagara-class cruiser Natori,[1] as well as the first in the JMSDF era.[5]

History

[edit]

Natori was ordered in March 2023[1] by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as part of the JMSDF's Mid-Term Defense Program and was laid down at the MHI Nagasaki Shipyard on 6 July 2023. She was christened and launched on 24 June 2024,[2][1] and was commissioned on 21 May 2026 after a period of fitting out and subsequent sea trials.[6][4]
