 The Akebono is armed with 2 x 76 mm guns that both have 360° of rotation, they have a high rate of fire and can fire HE, APHE, and HE-VT shells. the HE can be used to quickly destroy any coastal boat, the APHE to pierce armour and fight larger ships, and HE-VT to destroy planes. The guns unfortunately overheat quickly under sustained fire, and take some time to cool down, meaning that you have to be careful with your shots when fighting groups of ships.

 The Akebono is also fitted with a duel 40 mm bofors AA gun at the rear, its high rate of fire can be used to destroy planes or quickly dispatch any boats coming in behind you. It can also be used when you're waiting for your main guns to cool down.

The Akebono has high survivability owing to its large complement, and its autoloading 76 mm cannons allow for fast destruction of smaller vessels.

 However, the newly formed Navy needed new ships to be able to conduct its tasks effectively and to gain experience for the construction of subsequent ships in the future. As a result, already in 1953 plans were being laid down for the construction of three new destroyer escorts, with two separate designs differing primarily in the propulsion system used. The Akebono, as the single ship of the batch to use traditional steam propulsion, was laid down in December 1954 and was commissioned in March 1956, becoming among the first domestically produced Japanese military vessels to enter service after WWII.
-The Akebono served for  20 years with the JMSDF before being decommissioned in 1976. In 1981, the ship was taken apart from scrap and officially stricken from the naval register in 1986.
