Operational History
Terizuki was refitted between 1976 and 1977 to improve anti-submarine capabilities, with the SQS-29 hull sonar replaced by the larger and longer ranged SQS-23 system, while a variable-depth sonar (VDS) was added. The obsolete Weapon Alpha launcher was replaced by a Bofors 375 mm anti-submarine launcher, with the Hedgehog launchers replaced by two triple 12.75 in (324 mm) triple mounting for Mark 46 torpedoes.
Terizuki became an auxiliary in 1986, and a training ship on 1 July 1987, with torpedo tubes and the VDS removed. It was stricken in September 1993.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
