After being transferred, former Yukikaze now fought as the Republic of China ship Tan Yang. In the end she ran aground in Taiwan during a typhoon, before being scrapped as an old ship.

Ten-odd years have passed after the war, and restored Japan was finally allowed to build new warships. The first country-produced warship since the end of the war. For reborn Japan this escort ship would hold a special meaning. The very first escort ship that would symbolize the post-war restoration. This little girl with a displacement of just 1700 tons was named... "Yukikaze"

After all those decades, Yukikaze has finally been reborn. It is said that the former crew and all the repatriate soldiers who returned on her have gathered together to give her a "welcome back".
