The construction cost of Fuyuzuki was about 72.6 billion yen, and since it was the first escort ship to be built in 17 years since JS Harusame at Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding, they called on retirees and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries workers to build and dress it up. [1]

The predecessor destroyer Fuyutsuki was built at the Maizuru Naval Arsenal, and at the ceremony when he arrived at Maizuru, the captain said, Fuyuzuki has returned to Maizuru for the first time in 70 years. [2]

From June 8 to 16 of the same year, she participated in the Japan-US-India Joint Training (Malabar 2018) conducted on Guam Island and the sea and airspace around the island. In addition to Fuyuzuki, the participating units are the escort vessels JS Ise and JS Suzunami, five onboard aircraft, the submarine JS Sōryū, and two P-1 patrol aircraft. [6]

In addition, from June 16 to 23, joint cruise training with the US Navy was conducted with JS Suzunami in the sea and airspace from around Guam to the south of Okinawa. From the US Navy, the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and several other ships participated.

From November 8 to 16 of the same year, joint cruise training was conducted with several ships including the US Navy aircraft carriers USS Ronald Reagan and USS John C. Stennis in the sea and airspace from the south of Shikoku to the area around Okinawa. [7]
