Built by the Antara-based Riverbank Iron Works as an export ASW frigate, ships like these found themselves in the navies of Antara's few allies after the World War. Osora, still recovering from the last devastating war, did not have the drydocks available to build many of its own vessels and thus relied on the export market for three decades.
The Kazagumo class of three vessels was delivered in 1363. One of these vessels, Asashio, was present in Haishang Conflict on the side of the Antarans. After the conflict she was augmented with experimental air-defence systems exclusive to their alliance. All three vessels were retired by 1389.
