Reuploaded for WCU Season 2

The Fuji-class guided missile cruisers were a class of thirty-two guided missile cruisers built initially for Japan by Enoshima Heavy Industries during the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. All thirty-two vessels were constructed in batches of four a year apart, and were part of the 'Type-1A' ship design report, combining long range with excellent firepower. In further addition, all thirty-two vessels were also capable of conducting ballistic missile defense and/or anti-supersonic bomber-operations, a role they continiue to fulfill to this day.
As part of the 'Type-1A-Kai' refit program, starting in 1992, all ships of the class were upgraded over a four-year period to modern standards, amongst which included; phased-array radar and better fire-control radars, an improved 130mm gun, improved missiles and fire-control systems, the newer Type 68 close-in weapon systems, anti-submarine warfare equipment, and a newer electronic warfare suite. The rest of the JINA's ships were also refitted to a similar standard as a new batch of warships would be launched to further bolster their numbers and eventually replace them later on.
All 32 ships were named for, following the naming convention within the JINA, historic Japanese pre-dreadnought battleships and/or cruisers operated by the Naval Arm's predecessor, the Imperial Japanese Navy, or otherwise following within the naming conventions of the IJN, with the first four ships being the Fuji, Shikishima, Hatsuse, and Asashi.
