JS Jintsū
1989 Abukuma-class destroyer escort
JS Jintsū (DE-230) is the second ship of the Abukuma-class destroyer escorts. She was commissioned on 28 February 1990.
Construction and career
Jintsū was laid down at Hitachi Zosen Corporation Maizuru Shipyard on 14 April 1988 and launched on 31 January 1989. She was commissioned on 28 February 1990 and deployed to Maizuru.
On 7 December 1992, the Russian Navy Udaloy-class destroyer Admiral Tributs was monitored at the Tsushima Strait East Waterworks.
The vessel joined the Maizuru District Force 24th Escort Corps on 6 November 2003. On 17 June 2005, she was transferred to the 25th Escort Corps of the Ominato District Force, and the homeport was transferred from Maizuru to Ominato. On 26 March 2008, the 25th escort was renamed to the 15th escort due to a major reorganization of the Self-Defense Fleet, and was reorganized under the escort fleet.
From 23–27 July 2010, after attending the 130th anniversary event and observing ceremony off the coast of Vladivostok, Russia, Jintsū participated in the 11th Russo-Japanese Search and Rescue Joint Training SAREX with the escort ship JS Hiei.
On 1 June 2011, the escort fleet was transferred to the 13th escort corps due to reorganization, and the homeport was transferred from Ominato to Sasebo.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1989 Abukuma-class destroyer escort” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q11269501. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1990, 1988, 1989 and 1992.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
