Oyashio-class Submarine
From Canadian Power Wiki
The Oyashio-class patrol submarines are a class of Japanese diesel-electric submarine operated by the JMSDF. The submarines entered service in the late 1990s. The submarines are larger than the earlier Harushio-class submarines, to provide space for a flank sonar array.
